This attractive wallet opens like a traditional bifold, but with a more streamlined design. The inside has a money clip bar to secure your bills—rather than an oversized pocket—and two card slots.

It keeps your information safe with RFID-blocking tech and fits comfortably in a front or back pocket. There’s a slot with a pull-tab on the front, making it easy to access your most frequently used cards. The other side has a clear slot for photo I.D. and can fit a card and a folded bill or two.

Along with the practical design, this wallet is made with longevity in mind. Full-grain leather maintains its shape better than low-grade leather and polyester, so the slots won’t stretch anytime soon. You can tighten the money-clip bar on the inside, too, so don’t worry if it starts to work loose.

Another intriguing design from Bellroy, this flip case features rounded edges and integrated organization slots for easy access to your bills and plastic. The hardshell case is durable without being bulky and secures shut with a magnetic closure.

One side has slots for cards, while the other is a large pocket to stash things on the fly; both sides can be flipped open with your thumb or finger. The streamlined design is best suited for those who rarely carry cash, so if you prefer to have more than a couple of bills on you, you should opt for a model with more capacity.

The Parliament can hold over 10 cards comfortably without compromising its slim profile. Each side of the wallet accommodates up to six cards, and the right side has a button at the bottom to fan out your cards for easy access.

There’s an interior cash strap for holding a couple of bills or ID, though there’s no dedicated clear ID card slot. We like that the cash strap is on the inside, though, since we’re wary of money clips and straps on the outside. If anything comes loose, at least it’s sandwiched inside.

The Ridge is built to last. But if it doesn’t, the company’s lifetime warranty ensures you’ll get another one ASAP. This wallet has replaceable parts, so if anything goes wrong, Ridge can replace them, from the plates and screws down to the elastic strap. Luckily, this isn’t a frequent occurrence thanks to the anodized aluminum plates that resist corrosion and the stainless-steel hardware.

The wallet holds plenty of cards, as well as some cash, in the money clip, and it can expand without stretching too much, unlike a fabric or leather wallet. If you’re not into the money clip, it comes with an elastic band you can attach.

The only downside is there’s no separating cards inside—it’s all just one space. So if you like an organized wallet, this isn’t the one for you.

There are multiple color options to suit your style. It’s a bit expensive, but if it lasts a lifetime, it’s probably worth it.

If you’re looking to buy a slim wallet on a budget, this no-frills option from Herschel might be right up your alley. The Charlie has two card slots on each side and one up top to hold some folded bills. The elastic band gives some extra security and keeps your cards from sliding out.

This was our gateway to slim wallets and card cases, and it's a good starting point if you feel like you’re carrying too much and want to make a change. If you plan on carrying more than a couple of cards, it’s going to get pretty tight. But it’s a good way to help you figure out what you need on the day to day. If you find you prefer extra space, this option isn’t a costly trial-and-error.

Many of our picks can fit comfortably in your front pocket, but only the Rogue Industries Front Pocket Wallet is specifically designed for this purpose. This is ideal for anyone who feels nervous about keeping valuables out of sight in their back pocket or simply doesn’t enjoy sitting on their billfold throughout the day.

This wallet’s bison leather is super soft and durable, and it can hold up to 6 cards along with some cash. It’s longer than the others on our list to fit the standard-size card while maintaining a slim profile.
