I wrap my cards with an elastic band. It costs nothing.

Everything I need is either tattooed somewhere on my body or in an embedded chip.

If this goofy wallet-ish thing changed your life, it says more about your life than it does the wallet.
A rather obnoxious friend of mine uses a rubber cock ring to perform essentially the same function as this overpriced geegaw.
I sometimes use an asparagus rubber band (as a wallet, that is.)

For perspective, this (currently) puts this particular wallet as the 18th most funded wallet on Kickstarter.
And it’s offered for sale on [the creator’s website] (The Nomatic Wallet – NOMATIC) for $19.99, so I don’t know how 20% off of $19.99 is $18.99 instead of $15.99.

Extra clueless points for name-dropping of one of the most infamous cases of kickstarter gone wrong as if it was a wholly positive example.

It gets worse.
Amazon recently had a sale underselling the original Kickstarter price (while many Kickstarter backers still have yet to receive their coolers).

Just make sure not to rub the magnetic strip together!

Sweet slime-envelop’d Cthulhu, that’s a lot of wallets! Most of them looking like clones of one of two basic layouts. Hard to believe they all can get so much kickstarter support.
Personally I don’t like too-skinny wallets any more than I like too-skinny phones, (or for that matter too-skinny sex partners). Here is the wallet I carry, holds as much stuff as a mini tool bag and built hell for stout.

So… If you need cash, everyone around you can see how much you’re carrying, unlike a traditional wallet, when you can just pull out the individual bills that you need. What a really terrible idea.

I guess that works. I’d be the last person to cast…
I love Sophia!
Caution against flashing a big wad of cash in the wrong environment is not paranoia, it’s common sense.

I know. I was just ribbing you. I basically agree with you
