I currently have a clunky, black leather wallet. You know, the traditional one. However, it feels to big and dumb, since I only carry some cards and some paper.
What wallet do you have? Images or links would be cool!
Once my brain realized I wouldn't need to remember both my phone and my wallet, I'm completely unable to go back. Bummer, I miss the bare back of my phone. But I like to eat lunch, too, so there's that.
Same thing here, but I use a different case thou, from Pack and Smooch:
About two years ago, I picked up a wallet from Hard Graft. Really solid construction, the leather is only getting better with age, and looks awesome all around 
I bought some industrial elastic and sewed 2 very similar DIY wallets like this. I have one that goes around the long way and another that goes the short way. I have settled on the short way, because it make cards and cash more accessible and visible. I have been extremely happy with it.
Ah Acne, Swedish design :)
It got tatty quick, but that's part of its charm. Good leather too.
I've been using the Bellroy Slim Sleeve for over a year now, and love it. Super small and gets better with age.
A Capsule wallet. http://capsulewallets.com
Love everything Tanner Goods does. This Workman's wallet is great.
Seconded. Love mine. Something about never having to fold your bills is just fantastic.
I did some heavy research before purchasing this bad boy, the Dopp Regatta.

I wanted something very thin, with space for a few cards, cash, and a pocket for my bus pass. I didn't want to compromise on ease of access to my cards in favor of being thin/minimal. For my money, its the best wallet I've ever owned.
I have a CAPSULE Minimalist wallet. Mine is the Kickstarter edition, which isn’t for sale any more, but is close to what they are selling now. I like it quite a bit.
I use this a cheap wallet case from Amazon. .jpg)
My next one could be another wallet case (made from real leather this time), or a card sleeve from Bellroy:
I got the Bellroy Note Sleeve a few weeks ago. It’s pretty close to the perfect wallet for me. The quality is outstanding, and it has all the features (and a couple more) that I want. Definitely check out their range. http://bellroy.com/wallets/note-sleeve-wallet
Check out their blog too at http://www.carryology.com. It has good reviews of all kinds of luggage, and discusses smarter ways to carry your stuff.
I have a Bellroy Note Sleeve wallet as well. When I discovered Bellroy I was in love with everything they did for a long time before actually making my first purchase. However, after getting the wallet I discovered I really didn't care for the production quality like I thought I would. Don't get me wrong, the wallet is great and fulfills all functions a wallet should. But some of the little details really bother me, such as the corner stitching.
I currently have this small Louis Vuitton wallet for two years, which is a combination between a normal wallet and a cardholder.
It was a bit expensive but really worth it! It is available in their stores and online at:
I use the Vinco wallet. I found out about RFID theft much too late, my Vinco stops it happening.
their site is: vincolife.com
I have a Malcom Frontier Mojito Wallet. before that, Koyono Slimmy but my cards kept falling out. Cards don't fall out now. 
No wallet. Just a metal business card holder and a money clip (M Clip). My credit card, transit card and ID go in the card holder. Both go into my front right pocket.
The bonus with the card holder is that the metal enclosure means all of my cards with chips in them are shielded and can't be read. And I don't have to sit on a Costanza wallet.
no wallet. just one card.
The only downside of using these minimalist wallets that don't fit money inside (specially Pound Sterling which tend to be huge) is that you always end having to fold your notes which sometimes get crumpled.
I also have been thinking for ages to get a new wallet and really love these tiny ones, but concerned about how the money I keep would look like. Cards are great, but you never know, in case of emergency, if you are not able to use it.
And let’s not forget about the coins that always come to you even if you don’t want it. Change is change…but then, having to keep then in your pocket may make you think why do yo need a wallet in first place.
Thanks guys for all the suggestions, Bellroy seems nice, I really love their demonstration videos.
I got an ID wallet from Epicstoke
I got a Slimfold Wallet about a month ago and I've loved it! It's super slim, and durable, and it's not leather!
high-five from another Chicago designer :)
Woohoo! Another designer that I know is sweating in their office/workspace! :)

Minimal Hugo Boss wallet.
The Park Sloper. Love this thing.
I don't actually own it yet, but I want to get the Hank wallet by Herschel. Hank Wallet
Alchemy Goods recycled bike tube wallet (vegan). I like how slim it is. I keep it in my front pocket.
Thing is basically indestructible. I thought it would stretch out a lot since it's made of rubber, but after over a year and a half, it still rules.
(might want to blur the numbers)
Not worried about someone knowing the common first 4 digits of a VISA :)
Simple!!!! Love them!
Maxx & Unicorn one piece bifold wallet.
Super thin and durable. I love it.
My kids got me a Cheddar Pocket "magic" wallet and I've been using it for 2 years and still love it. Room for a few cards, but takes cash and business cards with style.
Hard to explain the magic, but it works like one of those "Jacob's Ladder" wooden toys, which apparently makes it harder for pickpockets somehow.
All of their wallets are sold out? Weird.
That is weird. Some on Amazon though.
I have recently bought a SimpleWallet and it rocks!

I've got the Angle Wallet, and it's treated me like a King.
Jesus, $80 for a stitched piece of leather?
It may seem just like an $80 piece of leather, but it's so much more than that Dan. Before the wallet I was sad and had trouble pulling out my wallet in large groups of people. Now I'll gladly pull it out, wherever.
