I have an Ekster Senate and I love it. It can hold 5 or 6 cards in the cardholder (+/- depending on if your cards are embossed or not), plus it comes with an extra slot on the back and a strap on the front for cash and stuff. It's a great compromise between holding a lot of stuff, while still being compact enough for your front pocket. And the card ejector button thing is awesome. Fans your cards out and makes it easy to find the one you want.

I got the Parliament originally, but I had a tough time getting the front flap to stay flat, which was a deal breaker for me so I switched. They're pricey, but really high quality. They can also come with a tracking device if you want in case your wallet is ever lost/stolen

I have one similar to this one and will never use a normal wallet again. I also never misplace my wallet since it's always with my phone.

Saddleback is only proper answer. Have used them for years. Really well built. They also have some new “minimalist” options like front pocket types.

This topic came up a few years ago, and a poster suggested one of the Rawlings wallets with the baseball stitch in it. I bought one and I love it, so I pass the recommendation on anytime the topic comes back up.

Check out Waskerd wallets. If you like any of the ones he makes, you will never buy another wallet. It'll last your lifetime.

I got a carbon fiber one with a money clip and I don’t think I’ll ever be going back. It took some getting used to, but sitting is more comfortable and you are better protected from pickpockets.


I got a front pocket wallet prior to traveling to Prague in 2005. Yes...the place was teaming with pickpockets. I found out how much better my back felt from not sitting on my wallet...never went back to a rear pocket wallet.

Saddleback is good, had one for 4-5 years. If anyone wants Saddleback-like stuff in different leathers, Popov is very good as well.

Ultimately I switched over to Bellroy because I can get a full featured wallet (full cash slot, etc.) for not much bigger than a card wallet from Saddleback. I don't think the Bellroy will hold up as well long term, but I'm not going to keep it 5 years anyway, most likely.
