I have tried some crowd favorites like the HuMn aluminum, the Whipping Post&#8217;s Mojave guitar pick wallet, the Freitag&#8217;s Brandon wallet, the Nau&#8217;s Bill Fold (which includes a small pocket for GSM SIM cards),&#8230; Even a Tyvek Mighty Wallet. But none pleased me more than the SlimFold&#8217;s original micro Tyvek wallet.<\/p>\n<p>Tyvek is the material used in some of the FeDex envelopes: is waterproof, is very resistant to scratches and wear, can be stitched. The original SlimFold is already a fantastic wallet, but recently Dave Zuverink, the creator of the original model, started to investigate new materials, and decided on a type of soft shell, a material similar to GORE-TEX, which is ultra thin, washable and more durable than the original Tyvek. He started a Kickstarter project and got funded 10x of what was initially the goal.<\/p>\n<p>I got my wallet and I&#8217;m really happy with it. The wallet is perfect for American currency, though, so those using bigger currencies will have a problem with it. Inside the wallet there are two pieces of hard plastic which maintain the shape of the fabric. I found the original plastic that came with the wallet too hard for my taste, and substituted it (in a very easy operation) with a softer version, which I cut out of a plastic folder. I can carry up to 9 credit cards (or credit card sized cards and ID) and some dollars in the 3 visible and 2 hidden pockets.<\/p>\n<p>I am considering purchasing a few others as a backup and giving them as presents to friends and family.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Half as thin as a leather wallet<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":76,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0},"categories":[42],"tags":[],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25528"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/76"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=25528"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25528\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":25530,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25528\/revisions\/25530"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=25528"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=25528"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=25528"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
