So a few years back, I wanted to find a small wallet that could hold a key / coins (if I wanted) bills, and cards but with a super small footprint. That seemed nearly impossible, and I studied pretty hard to find the few wallets that met this criteria. The most famous of all was of course, the Bellroy Hide & Seek.
I liked the Bellroy a lot, but it's a bit steep for a small wallet at ~$100.
There is a Chinese knock-off called the Ikepod that was virtually exactly the same as the Bellroy, but still $40... and questionable whether or not it would be decent quality.
* I don't mind spending money on a wallet, BTW. $40 isn't an insane price, but being I wasn't looking for a designer wallet or something that used exotic materials I definitely wasn't fond of dropping $100 on the Bellroy, and I just was unsure of the Ikepod quality wise.
So I stumbled upon a kickstarter for a wallet called the MiniMax, spoke to the dude who owned / started it (Simon) and elected to give it a shot for ~$30 USD back in 2017. This wallet, I legit swear by still 4 years later. It is tiny, holds coins, cash and cards. If you want to check the wallet out, his new campaign for the MM3 is here.
Pretty inventive. I guess I am still a bit old school and carry more than just cards on occasion, but maybe I am in the minority.
What wallet do you guys use? I know many prefer designer wallets. Figured this would be an interesting thread to show off wallets or help people that are also looking for something small / minimalist but don't want to spend hours researching like I did. Haha.
