Wallet advice

Got 3 new credit cards in as many weeks; all with the damnable chip technology. I have given up my Saddleback front pocket for a RFID safe wallet that
is a little bigger but affords protection against scanners in public places.
I hate technology.

Use a very bright flashlight and shine it through the cards. Locate the chip, and use a hole punch to remove it. Cards will still be valid. Don't do this with passports or state IDs/DLs, because that will invalidate them.
 
I like the Mission Wallet in sharkskin, it's been very durable so far (I think I bought in 2009). I normally carry it in my front pocket addition to a very minimal Tumi wallet in my back pocket.

I have a Bill's Urban Wallet too, but it's a little large.

While there are some, most chip cards do not use RFID technology.
 
I just buy minimalistic leather Nero wallet. I have new cards with NFC, so I was looking for wallet with RFID protection.
So here is my new EDC wallet :)

9 cards (debit and credit cards, ID and driving license etc), some bills and coins, some coupons...and it is still half size of my old wallet.

BigSkinny wallets are pretty cool. I've got three different models, the last 2 I just purchased last week on clearance - 80% off (Curve Bi-Fold for $6.38 and the Flip ID L-Fold for $7.48) at my local DSW (Designer Shoe Warehouse). They're lightweight black nylon. My first one was a slim bi-fold (cant remember model name) which I purchased around Jan 2015 and it's still like new.
 
I have gone with a Paul Smith leather wallet for a long time. It doesn't seem like it but it's a great, durable, and front pocket carry wallet.
