Thanks for your help.
 
Do you want to hang it on your belt, carry it around, or stick it in the pocket of your cargo pants?

One way to go is the Maxpedition EDC pocket organizer, which is a little big, but its the kind of thing you carry around, throw in your backpack or stick in the pocket of some cargo pants:

Something smaller, that you could hang on your belt, would be a Maxpedition M2:

I find the Maxpedition belt products that are smaller than the M2 to be too small to be useful. There is just not much room on the inside for much of anything, at least IMO. The material on the Maxpedition products is thick, and when you have a divider or two inside the product, there just isn't a lot of room left for stuff.
 
Thanks! Those pictures were really helpful. The ones on the website don't give you much to work with.

I'd like something I can drop in a pocket, but that might not be realistic.

Those look ideal. I wonder if he makes any in leather?

I think he works strictly in nylon. You might ask here to see if this maker of the Mission Wallet will take custom orders. IIRC he's a missionary overseas and his deliveries are sporadic. I don't know offhand if he takes custom orders. I believe he originated this concept.

I have the Maxpedition one pictured here. Holds my iPod, headphones, a Fischer pen, a small SAK, my receipts for the day, and whatever miscellaneous notes I'm carrying around with me.

The trouble is, I have yet to see a "pocket organizer" that fits in any pocket other than the one on cargo pants.

The Maxpedition one rides OK on a belt. It's a little thick, but the velcro is STRONG and the double-closure well-designed. I just skip a belt loop on my left side so I can slide it out of the way to get to my wallet, or pull it forward to look through the pocket.

Geeky, I know, but it was the last possible stop before getting a fanny pack...
 
I use the Spec-Ops Brand Dry-Cell On-Board designed for cargo pockets. Great organizer and waterproof.

Matador-
 
Maybe its time to take the leap and get a man purse. Something like a Maxpedition fatboy.

Cover it with velcro patches showing skulls, lightning bolts and rabid dogs, so people won't think you are a pansy. And maybe wear camo pants for extra effect. Thats what milspecmonkey does. :)

Can ya list your EDC stuff. That would give everyone a better idea of what kind of kit you need.

I got tired of carrying my jumbo every day cause I hated how it flopped around on my thigh. I went to a Vulture II backpack lol. It's actually more comfortable for me having the weight on both shoulders and it doesn't bang on door ways when I walk through. Don't get me wrong I love the versapack. But some of those small backapacks Maxped has may be something you want to consider. I know the Malaga gearslinger is pretty small and rides nice on the back. At least it looks less like a man purse.
 
Nite-Ize makes some cool EDC organizers you might take a peek at. :)
 
Basically I want to be able to carry the following
1) Blackberry
2) Credit Card Holder (ID included)
3) Receipts
4) Pocket knife
5) Small area for miscilainious stuff

Honestly, get the Maxpedition RAT wallet. You're not going to be able to fit it in your pocket, but that amount of stuff isn't going to be comfortable in one pocket, even if it's in an organizer.

I've been in Palm Springs over the weekend, and I've been carrying:

An iPod Touch, Shure 240 headphones, cards, reciepts, loose cash, a Fischer Space Pen, a Spyderco Delica, and a VIC classic in my Rat.

It does stick out on the belt, but you can move it out of your way, and it's not moving if someone tries to pull it off.

I wish I could find something low-profile that would organize that kind of stuff in-pocket too, but for now the RAT is the best solution I've found!
