Time to replace my oversize worn out wallet, and after reading this thread I'm leaning toward a money clip and credit card case. For those of you who have gone this route, what do you like?

I'm now a few months in with my Slimmy and I'm never going back to a bulky wallet. I love this thing. Credit to j44ke for the recommendation. It holds a few bills, and about 5-6 cards, well organized into 3 sections. And it disappears into my pocket.

I've had my Koyono slimmy for about two years ago and still get amazed comments when people see it. I carry five cards total, an emergency $20 bill for those rare places that don't accept credit or debit, and is pretty much invisible in my front pants pocket. Can't say enough good things about it.
I've been rocking a Coach Slim Card Case for a few years now. No complaints and it was only like $50. They said it was made of water buffalo...
I just picked this one up over the weekend in Charleston, SC. I had been looking for a slim wallet for my ID, debit card and a few bills. This one is perfect. Leather and handmade by a local Charleston family. I have their card, but it is not on me. If you want, I can pass along their info. I think they have a website.

Do you guys do something else to carry business cards? I have some thick, expensive letterpressed cards, and I always like to have 2 on me, but they get destroyed in all these slim type card holders. Thinking I might have to make something different for myself.

re: business cards, slip them between your DL and insurance card? their stiffness should keep them primed and pressed
for daily carry now i have gone to a magnetic money clip, leather. all i carry these days are my drivers license and an Amex, with cash folded between. i've thrown my old wallet full of other crap in my car's glove box and never need it anymore. the leather money clip has been with me daily for almost a decade now, been practically around the world, and through thousands of miles riding in a jersey pocket. just keeps taking very real abuse with no complaints.
i was concerned at first that i would need other cards, etc, but it never comes up, drivers license, credit card, cash, done. get rid of the other stuff for daily carry, free yourself.
This intrigues me. I'm still thinking money clip and some kind of hard case for cards -- unless I can really focus on reducing what I carry to one or two items.... Not hearing much from folks who have a card-only case (something like this?)to complement a money clip?

Google the Nava Penny Pack, designed by Kuno Prey. They used to sell these in the MOMA gift shop. It's been a while since I needed to buy one - found them in Italy a few years ago and stocked up.

I've been carrying a Barrett Alley "Revelation" in #8 shell cordovan for almost two years. Highly recommended. It is slim, but has three slots.
I use a Clarks Harness Band wallet. Been using mine for 5 years now, definitely love it.

Switched over to the Saddleback Front Pocket ID Wallet a few years ago. Very happy with it. <$40. 100 year warranty. Not sure which Salonista mentioned it in an earlier thread, but thanks to them.
