belroy here after seeing the advert at the top of the page!
Really pleased with it, nice and slim and made me reduce the amount of rubbish i carry.
Someone has mentioned the StoCard app which is what I know use for all my loyalty / store cards too.
99p, holds a stack of cards and wadge of notes, adds about 2mm to the thickness of the cards/cash.

I've not followed many links - do all these wallets have linings that stop the RFID stuff being read?
Mulberry wallet here...had it 20 years now and still going strong

Secrid wallets do - not as minimal as some of the above but if you're after peace of mind, worth a look...
Office postie just dropped my new wallet off, a Hackett Trove. I like it already!
Vaultskin RFID wallet for me. 9 cards plus space for a few folded notes

My wallet is slimmer than it used to be too.
I blame it on the ****** Tories.

Well, the Trayvax one is supposed to, but why do you care? Do you actually believe these bullshit scare stories in the Daily Wail that claim people just walk past you in the street and read all the info on your cards?
Instead of being able to just tap your card on the reader on a shop, or on the Tube or wherever, you've got to keep taking the card out every time you want to use it.
I can't be arsed, defeats the point of having the damned thing.
Although I do tend to use my phone more now anyway.
If you have 3 cards in your wallet how do you know which one is going to be charged when you wave it at a machine?
[quote=benp1 ]Thanks for the tip on Stocard. Downloaded and in use
Also works on my watch, winner!
Going way OT (I've taken to just carrying one card and a couple of notes in my pocket with no wallet at all), has anybody got that or anything similar to work reliably at providing barcodes shops can scan? In theory Android Pay provides the same functionality - I've added several loyalty cards, and they display barcodes, but haven't ever successfully got one to scan.

Good for about ten cards, a hundred quid and some receipts. RFID blocked on the inside, but one slot on the outside for the oyster card or other contactless.
Really like it.

You don't. That's one problem with carrying several cards with RFID, like an Oyster and a card attached to the same account. Of course, now you can ditch the Oyster and just use the bank card, or use your phone.
I was looking through an EDC.com feature on slim wallets, and one they featured was the Pelican Sport wallet, made by the people who make Pelican hard cases for sports goods:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B008YGI7KC?tag=pd999-20
Ordered one, it arrived today, and it's bloody good! Very slightly less convenient than my Jimi wallet, in that my driver's license isn't visible without removing it, but the mesh pockets hold everything in place securely, and it closes very tightly, and is very solid once closed up. Not waterproof enough to go swimming with, it's IP54, but I've put a thin smear of silicon grease onto the rubber gasket, which may give it a better seal.
Anyway, it's exactly what I was looking for as a more robust replacement for the Jimi.
I've had a BASICS wallet for a while now and will be getting another when this one dies
Handles a bunch of cards and folded cash easy - plus has a little pouchy thing for a few quids worth of coins
They're about £15
I use a Curve Card, it has all your payment cards registered to it, and you can choose which one to pay with for any transaction. It's dead simple and can be used anywhere.
https://www.imaginecurve.com/getcurve/
(Register with F1CZL and get free £5 credit 😉 )
And I use the Stocard app for all my loyalty cards so I don't carry any of those.
So as I only carry one card I use one of these

12 loyalty/points cards stored on phone, 6 payment cards stored on Curve card, the odd £5/10 folded next to card in phone case. And No Wallet.
I've the Loft of Cambie from Slim Wallet Junkie for a year, 2 cards in the middle, 1 on each side and folded notes. Could fancy just going to one with my phone though.

Although less minimal than a number of suggestions put forward a bi-fold card wallet almost allows this. One contactless card in each side allows the one required to be flopped on to the machine needing it, with the other beyond range. Notes can be held in the middle of the fold too, where they are more easily accessible than folded up inside a non-bifold slim wallet. I've not had a problem with them falling out unexpectedly either.
I used to have a bi fold wallet which did help with that
I bought the Trove thanks to this thread, only carry 3 cards in it. debit card (don't carry/use a credit card), driving licence and work ID. Debit card and word ID are RFID
Driving licence is in the middle of the 3, both cards seem to work fine - although I can't pay for anything on my work ID and my debit card won't let me into my office so maybe it works because of that?
I looked at the curve card but realised that I don't actually use anything other than my debit card anyway
Stocard app worked fine in Tesco but not in Waitrose. Haven't tried Sainsburys yet. Waitrose just typed the number in though
Stocard works fine everywhere I've tried it (costa, Sainsbury's, Waitrose, Tesco, Morrisons, holand&Baratt, etc) but not BP garages for some reason, but as you said, they just type the number in so it's fine.
It's great not having to find a needle in a haystack anymore !
How do you deal with receipts with these wonder-skinny wallets?
Work expenses need records...
Those Belroy prices! 😯
Yeah, last decent one I had was one from a market in the States, probably about $10. Handled US dollar length notes but folded up compact. Eventually died though.
Now have a temporary bulky thing that has all cards I could possibly need for survival in life plus countless store loyalty cards, but for bike rides I stick a few essentials in a little plastic wallet that came with train tickets once. A credit card, driving licence and a note for money, sticker on the back with emergency info. job done. It won't last that long though.
Contactless cards is good in place of cash now as Peaslake store accepts them without charge (unlike non contactless), so can get those cheese straws and pork & leaks without fiddling about for change 😀

How many, exactly, are you going to accumulate during a working day?
Clear them out as soon as you get home, shouldn't be a problem, or carry a separate cheap plastic jobbie to just stuff the receipts into, like a heavy-duty ziplock bag/wallet.
I need to keep fuel/bridge toll receipts for work, but they don't go into my wallet, they go into my pocket along with a small notepad, then are separated each day because some need to go with the job sheets for a particular car, if fuel bought with my fuel card, others get sent off with my weekly time sheet if I use my own money, far easier to keep them away from my own personal stuff.
They also need job number and car reg written on each, so easier to do that as soon as possible, keeping them well away from any other personal paperwork.
Here, something like these: http://www.ryman.co.uk/snopake-document-wallet-a6-polyfile-portrait-pack-of-5
Cheap as, A6 will slip into a pocket or bag/work folder, keep all your receipts tidy.
Don't have to worry about work expenses in this job, don't really have any. But as above I'd pop them in my wallet during the day and decant them into something else in the evening.
I rarely need to keep/carry receipts, if I did there's enough space for a few, they're pretty thin
I don't mind spending a bit of money on a wallet. Unless ladies purses they don't get changed much and they're always being carried in pocket
My new slim wallet is my 3rd wallet in over 20 years. I hadn't expected to buy another, 1st proper wallet was bought when I was 16 and lasted till a few years ago. Bellroy one was a present and was less bulky then the one before, this new Trove, acquired thanks to this thread, is slimmer still. I have the Bellroy in the drawer for if it works out to be too slim/inpractical, but so far so good. The first main problem it has highlighted is that it's so inconspicuous I can take my trousers off and put them away with my wallet in there and not know, which in turn makes it easy to lose!
I posted a link to the Trayvax wallets up there a bit ^^
I do like them, but TBH I think my Pelican might be the better option, as everything is held inside in two mesh pockets, and it clips together very tightly, and is pretty water resistant as well
Smoother edges than the Trayvax, too, although it's noticeably bigger than the Jimi, which might be an issue, but then when you see the bloody great bricks that people carry around stuffed full of cards, receipts and God-knows what other junk, it's minuscule.
Very happy with it, my current, unbroken Jimi has gone into a drawer, as a just-in-case backup.
Wise guy don't carry his money in a wallet, wise guy carries his money in a roll! Fact!

Thanks tekp2, this wallet is just what I was looking for, tuned up this morning!
I'm a bellboy convert, live my elements wallet. Can get a bit of change in to as well as 6 cards and notes.
I've got other bellboy products too but it helps that my best mate is one of their sales reps!
Another vote for
[url= https://www.all-ett.com ]All-Ett[/url] wallets from me. Have had a number of the leather ones and, though they have worn out eventually, haven't found anything better. Will have one of their rfid blocking ones when current one eventually expires.
I usually order a few at a time from the US and gift a couple to family.
Chaps, please do it with a little more style.

Has anyone actually heard or read about any RFID skimming scams in real life? Or even been a victim?

A point I've already made. I'm pretty sure it's one of those things the Daily Wail likes to make a big fuss about, because it's [i]theoretically[/i] possible, but the reality is it's highly unlikely ever to happen in the real world; you're much more likely to be a victim of skimming at a bar or restaurant, or at a hacked ATM.
And if you're that paranoid about it, then [i]any[/i] wallet can be made RFID proof by sticking a bit of aluminium foil onto an old credit card or cardboard cut to size and tucked into the wallet.
If you want to get [i]really[/i] hi-tech, a thin sheet of copper mesh stuck into the wallet would do, but frankly I think it's almost infinitesimal the chance of being skimmed by someone walking past.
Very pretty, CF, but I'll stick with something I can sit on without damaging the cards within, and which will keep the contents dry if I get soaked:

Dash wallet 4.0. Best wallet I've had.
Point of order please..
À wallet with coins in it is no longer a wallet, it is purse.

I gave up trying to cram loose change into my wallet when I broke the zip on the change pocket on a really nice carbon fibre Oakley wallet. I carry all my loose change, and there can sometimes be a lot, in a little handmade leather drawstring bag. Means I don't lose significant sums of money through holes in my pockets caused by carrying loads of loose coins and my keys.
I hate carrying change. If I break a note i carry the change loose and stick it in a change purse at home. That rarely leaves the house unless I'm going somewhere where change is necessary (e.g. school fair)
I leave a change purse in the car too, handy for parking machines etc
