After ten years I need a new small, flat case to carry small, flat items. To start this thread I'll share three items, but I hope this starts an interesting thread about how everyone deals with document/dollar storage and transport. I favor a small wallet in my front pocket, but I'm interested in reinventing how I carry these things.
1. Duct Tape Trifold/Bifold Wallet

Simple. Cheap. Sturdy. Easy to repair. This link isn't the best because there are several inconsistencies between the product info & photos on amazon. The biggest benefit is that I can build my own customized to my specs. The biggest drawback is that it's gonna look like a sloppy piece of shit.
2. Pacsafe RFIDsafe TEC Trifold Wallet & TEC Passport Wallet

These appear sturdier and more secure than similar items. They are also inexpensive, relative to similar items. If I chose to purchase from REI, I would likely get both of these... trifold for every day, passport for travel.
3. Moleskine JOURNEY Hard Pouch

I looked at Moleskin because I frequently use (but do not regularly carry) sketchbooks/notebooks for writing & drawing. I'd probably use the small/med for daily carry and the travel-kit for... well, travel. I like these because I can choose to carry small pens/pencils or other utilitarian things.
