Going by your username do you shout "You shall not penetrate!" at it when you see it?

Don't suppose you have a pic?

Is it not really uncomfortable to put your wallet in you back pocket?

Never understood it to be honest, always kept mine in my right front pocket

But hey in a few years with nfc technology there will be no need for wallets.

Got one of these recently - http://www.koyono.com/wwSlimmy-Speci...t-p/m997se.htm

It's a lot smaller than my previous bi/tri folds. I'm still testing it out but so far, so good.

Had a Fossil wallet for the past 5 years. Coming to the end of its life though.

Really handy though. Seems to have endless storage space. For some reason every pub in Leicester has some kind of Loyalty Card, and being a student I needed every discount I could get.

Sadly they're stopped making this model, so I'll have to look into a new one, and maybe throw out some of these cards.

Got myself a brown leather Oriano wallet in February '06-ish. Keep it in my front left pocket with no card problems..

Opens with a fold left and right with card slots each side and a flap over the middle with more card slots behind and to the side, two picturecard spaces, a zip section for coins and then the cash part at the back. There's probably cards lost in it that are 5 years old or long forgotten about. The folds have held up very well, one loose thread over the flap and the fold points are only slightly wearing

Touchwood, I've left it on several Red Line Luases and numerous buses including the 77s and it has always been recovered untouched, sometimes days later. I won't say anymore as I don't want to tempt fate and have to find another one which just won't be the same

These are all great suggestions for nice wallets, but are they any good at stopping your cards from cracking?

I'd have no money left to put in it if I spent that much on a wallet
