When it comes to wallets, we often think of men’s designer wallets. These tend to come in two designs – a trifold or a bifold design (aka how many times you fold your wallet). The problem with these wallets? They can get very bulky, especially if you are the kind to stuff your wallet with as many cards as you can carry!
This has fueled the rage for creative wallet designs, ranging from thin wallets with money clips to creative card cases, and even handphone cases that double up as your wallet. Let us take you through some unconventional wallet designs seen in the wild.
Alpine Swiss Magic Wallet
The Magic Wallet
The Magic Wallet is a slim wallet that clips your money into place through clever use of straps. All you need to do is simply put your money in on one side, close the wallet, flip it the the other way, and open. Your money will be inside, perfectly secure. Note though, that the Magic Wallet is more of a minimalist wallet design, and so may not hold more than a few cards. Note that overloading your Magic Wallet can cause the items within to fall out. Tip: The Magic Wallet is small enough to slip into any of your Pacsafe bag’s RFIDsafe pockets, so you can keep it secure from RFID skimmers even on the go.
The Smartphone Case
Very few of us can live without our smartphones. It’s perhaps one of the few things we’ll carry about with us, along with our wallet. A smartphone case like the one pictured above often removes the need to even carry a wallet. It usually has 2 pockets for your cards and a hidden compartment for your cash. This is a great day-to-day carry item to throw into your Pacsafe tote or handbag for convenience’s sake, though note that space is limited and most cases do not protect you from RFID skimmers.
The Passport Wallet
On the other end of the spectrum, there are wallets designed exclusively for travel. RFID slim wallets are the best examples of these (like Pacsafe’s RFIDsafe™ TEC passport wallet), as they keep clutter to a minimum while offering protection against RFID skimmers. Plus they look stylish and subtle! In case you’re wondering, here’s why you should protect yourself against RFID skimmers.
And these are just some of the ones that are widely available online. If you feel like taking a walk on the wild side, sites like Kickstarter, Indiegogo and Massdrop often highlight creative wallet designs that take it to the next level. Alternatively, you can keep things simple and pick up a Pacsafe RFIDsafe™ wallet this Christmas instead!
