Hi there,
I need a new wallet, but before I go out and buy one I was wondering what the consensus was on who is carrying what. I have always carried a wall because I carry so much but I would like to slim it down. Let me know what you use and who makes it.
Thanks.
Hey Titanium.
Ive got a wallet that has a money clip attached to it. Bought it at Fred Meyers, i think. Nice to have the best of both worlds.
Good luck,
Mac
a money clip is suppose to be better for your back.....Quote:

You can fit it in your front pocket too if that's your favorite way to carry.

So far it's been one of the better department store wallets I've owned. My only complaint is that it's tough to get cards out of the middle card pocket.
I use a cigarette case and only carry cards usually. If I carry cash, it just gets folded and goes in with the cigarette case which is usually in my front left hand pocket.

I carry a money clip style in my front pocket. Money clip for cash or receipts, a small pocket for a couple of cards and an ID slot for my drivers license.
It's slim and I can't over stuff it like a bi or tri-fold.

I carry a money clip and a card holder. It's better on the back. Clip in the left back, card holder in the right back. You'll get scoliosis lugging around that George Castanza thing.
I recently tried to convert over to the money clip- It was really more of the hybrid type previously mentioned. a Fossil.
My problem with it was that I felt entirely naked whenever I went to pay for anything. Your entire wad of cash is on display. I didn't realize how accustomed I had been to opening up a wallet and sifting through it while still hiding my money from prying eyes.
It lasted about 3 months- long enough for me to decide I had given it it's chance. Back to the wallet.
I think I still have that hybrid- in good condition. If you're interested in it, PM me and you can have it for the cost of shipping...assuming I can find it.
I love the money clips!!! and have worn out 3 or more.
I carry a wallet, but I try to keep what I put in there to a minimum. I'm assuming you guys who are talking about your back and hips are saying that because you carry your wallet/clip in your back pocket and end up sitting on it? I carry mine in my front pocket; the wallet is pretty thin and it sits in front of or behind my phone (Razor - also thin). When I'm in my house, wallet gets dumped with the keys. When I'm at work, wallet gets locked in the desk.
EDIT: Reading through this thread reminds me of the good old college days, where all I needed to carry was my room key, ID, and phone (had the same phone, and since it's a flip phone, I used to put my ID inside it).
I have a couple of nice money clips laying around somewhere. one silver with gold designs, one with a little knife gadget thing. never use them.
small walled, id one side and few cards the other, goes front left pocket. money folded in half goes front right pocket. that's it. if I have a watch pocket I put my cell phone in it. knife goes right pocket too. I've carried everything this way for over a decade.

I've always carried my wallet in my front pocket as well. The lighter wallet shaped imprint in my jeans can attest to that. It feels more comfortable to me in thinking that if someone was going to try to steal my wallet I'd have a better chance of feeling it if they were to dig deep in my front pocket that lift the wallet from my back pocket.Quote:

i use wallet for plastic and other random crap, which sometimes tends to overstuff it. i should go thru it soon and thin it down. money i just fold in half and put it in my left-hand pocket. just don't keep your keys in the same pocket as your money. not a good combination :D
That's nice!Quote:

Room for a few cards, and some cash (when I have it.....:()
This is what I usually carry with me, so you can imagine...no need for gym:

I do have a couple of nice money clips and use then from time to time, but favourite is one I got in Disneyland a couple of yeards ago, a mix of clip and card holder. The problem is that is a magnetic clip and I have had some issues with credit cards, so only use it if only carrying the notes and ID....
Thanks for all the information guys! I ended up getting one from the Saddleback Leather Company. Nice, small and comes with a 100 warranty! This stuff is tuff and look like something Indiana Jones would use. Thanks again.

I carry a wallet in my front left pocket for credit cards, driver's license, insurance card, and the like. I do keep an emergency cash in the wallet, but use a money clip. I fold the money with the larger bills on the bottom of the stack so that when I take it out no one can tell if I have ones, fives, tens or twenties. Like was said, I don't won't prying eyes scoping my fundage.
I carry a wallet most of the time but when the wife and I step out I use my clip for cash and drivers ID in the front pocket.
When some money ends up coming my way, I'll be picking up a bag from Saddleback. Them's some nice bags...
I carry an old Spyderco stainless folding knife as a money clip. I don't remember what they used to call this model but it is similar to the Delicia series. It is 3-7/8" long closed and the tip is also very sharp on the top edge, for about half an inch. It opens with one hand and it makes for a nice defensive weapon. Before 9/11 I used to carry it on airplanes. I just tossed it in the bucket with some cash folded under the clip. Airport security never questioned it.
I don't carry a wallet. I used to, until my chiropractor told me that it was probably the source of my sciatica problem. I now carry my credit cards, drivers license, pistol permit and insurance cards in a short stack with a rubber band around them.
I use a cheap wal mart wallet but no money in it and very little CC in it cause the wife gets em most of the time
Money clip man myself....I do have a wallet for all the plastic stuff..but nothing beats a money clip
I carry a wallet, I don't have any where to keep change in my wallet so that keeps the weight down and keeps it pretty thin. I usually carry some change anyway though. wallet in my right pocket, phone in my left, keys in my right back pocket. Sorted.
When I get to where ever I'm going (work, pub, friends what ever) if I can I get my wallet and phone out and leave them on the side. I get called up for it all the time in the pub because I tend to leave them on the bar, but so far so good.
I really need a new wallet.
I don't carry money in my wallet. Cards and ID only. Wallet in left front pocket, cash in front right. I find no need for a money clip. Cash folded in half stays together just fine without a clip.
Get a wallet with a money clip on it. It's the minimalist look that makes you look organized and without extra s**t. A lot of men seem to pack their wallet full of junk they don't need. I did until my girlfriend got me the type of wallet i suggested now I only take 5 or 6 cards on me and some bills. Simple. Plus you don't feel like your sitting on a size 12 nike... :-D
A wiseguy never carries a wallet..;)
Stingray wallet. It's nice and pretty durable.

Buxton advertises a "Cell phone wallet" that merges the wallet and cell phone holster. It can be worn on the belt. The idea looks good, but I am not so sure of the quality.
Has anyone have any experience with them?
Both? I keep cash in a money clip in one pocket and a wallet that is used to hold cards, multiple ids, receipts, etc., in another pocket.
