Also, I know this kinda sounds weird, but it works. I tried it out with a recomendation from Esav : A small change purse.

I tried it out. It works great for hiding cash, cards, change. Plus it has a zipper, so you don't have to unfold it like a wallet. And it folds pretty flat. some change purses have a slot within for hiding stuff, like your condoms or cash or a key.. whatever.

I have two leather purses with a large zippered compartment for bills (folded in half) and cards, and a small zippered compartment for coins. Now A.G.Russell has a Small Leather Waist Pouch just like mine. His adds a thin divider in the main compartment and a strong flat belt loop on the back. I've been carrying his since I got it. These are all front pocket compatible and even carry in a buttoned shirt pocket at 3.5" x 5".

County Comm has the "LA Wallet". Leather is 8.50$, Nylon is 6.50$.

I have a leather and it's great. Can hold easily 4 cards on the outside pockets (2 in each pocket), and bills and more cards (or condom) in the center.

I got the leather and the nylon. I can see carrying the nylon especially hiking on a hot day. Both easily take three plastic cards on each side inside with a dozen bills folded in half behind one side, and as BoxANT said, a couple of cards in each outside pocket.

I put a single and a bus pass or NYC Metrocard on the outside so I don't even have to open the wallet.

This is totally minimal. I do like to carry a bit more, and small change, but it's nice to have one for times I don't need all that.

At the price, it's worth keeping something like this handy. They are very well-made -- for example, the outside slots have stitching all around them.

ColonelX, re-reading your original post, the more I think about it, flipping my LA Wallet around here, the more I think you should pick up one of these before you think about any others. It will definitely carry what you want, easily and neatly. And the leather really looks good. You literally cannot get anything smaller.

I carry the spinaker nylon version of all-ett's Card Case. You will not find a thinner or lighter wallet. Before this, I carried a home made tyvek wallet. Before that it was duct tape. As you can see, thin and light are important to me. The Card Case is as thin and as light as it gets--and it's only $5. (I carry significantly more in my (also front left) wallet than you are proposing to carry. My only concern is that, being single-layer thin nylon-- it's slippery and completely lacks any sort of rigidness. I'm not sure the condoms would stay in place. It's only $5 to find out. http://www.all-ett.com/productdetails.asp?prodID=14
 
It's not really a wallet, but I carry a money clamp. I actually carry the Geneva style. These things really work and are very durable. I have carried one I ordered out of Rolling Stone about 10 years ago. the coating is wore in places but still very secure. Good luck in your search.
