I got a OD SpecOps Wallet. The built is solid. The closure on it is like a folding move to secure it. I like it but didn't expect it to be that big. Before I have this, I used those leather Fossil wallets. The Specops Wallet has lots of good pockets and a small little zippered pouch. It has a place for you to place ID cards on the front on the outside which is good for people who need that. I'm looking at getting a SOTECH wallet but I'm satisfied with this one. Hope this helps.

It most definatly does. Do you have the Large one, or the littler 'JR' wallet? They call the closure method the "Shark Bite"...Whats so kewl about?

I experienced the freedom of throwing out the wallet a few years back. Now it's just drivers license, credit card, and a bit of cash in the front pocket.

Argh, bunch of my favorite people at risk. Lemme bend the letter of the rule and bring something I wrote somewhere else up here.

I'm temporarily hijacking this thread for an important PSA:

DON'T KEEP YOUR SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER IN YOUR WALLET OR PURSE

If its in there, take it out. Now. If its on something that you need to carry, (medical insurance card) contact the card issuer to see if they can issue you a different non-SS based number.

It scares me how many people I've seen still carrying their SS number in their easily stolen/lost wallet or purse. Once a thief has this number along with the other vitals available on your license or ID, stealing your financial identity and destroying your credit becomes exponentially easier. Identity Theft is the fastest growing crime industry out there, and its particularly difficult to combat because of the fact that victims often don't realize they've been victimized until a minimum of a month or two later when statements come, creditors are calling and the trail is cold. Additionally offenders are often either operating across the country, outside the United States, or are small time losers that will never be able to pay the thousands in restitution if they are caught. Meanwhile, victims are left with the monumental job of cleaning up the mess over the course of several years. In this case, an ounce of prevention is worth several pounds of cure. Besides removing your SS Card, take five minutes to inventory your wallet and try to only carry items that can be quickly neutralized (cancelled, numbers changed etc) if they fall out of your control.

Sorry if this seems like me pushing unsolicited advice, but I just saw another SS card in a wallet this week and figured this is as good occasion as any to remind people of this very scary, very real risk.

Thank you, and we now return you to your regularily scheduled thread.

Thanks for the info as I had not quite of thought of things that way. I had carried My ssc card since I had a wallet from my teen years because I could never rember the dang number. now I know it so I will pull the card out.
My medical inshuarce card has my ssc on it but thats getting fixed soon as my empoyer is switching to blue and they say they removed that number for our new cards.
If some one takes My idenity they may have problems, taking the idenity of a dragon could be unsafe for them as there would probly have so called hero /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/knight.gif types trying to slay them along with the orginal dragon hunting them!
joking aside thanks agen for the advice

I don't carry a wallet for two good reasons. First, it prevents having my entire life stolen by a pickpocket. Second, I never carry around enough to make carrying a wallet worthwhile.

Anyway, what I'm carrying depends on what I'm doing. For a quick trip to a local store, I just carry enough cash to buy whatever it is I'm buying. No ID, no credit cards. If I'm traveling on the subway, I'll carry my Metrocard, a credit card, an ATM card, sometimes my State ID card, and a little cash. I never carry over $20 cash. If I need more, I can always go to an ATM, and I use credit cards for large purchases anyway. When I ride my bike, I'll carry my ID card and a little cash. As you can see, there are never any circumstances that would warrant carrying a wallet. I like to travel light. In addition to the items mentioned, the only other things I carry are my keys, a comb (sometimes), tissues (sometimes), and maybe a camera if I'm going anywhere worth taking pictures. The less of my life I'm carrying around the better in case I'm kidnapped or arrested. No need to give anybody who might want to harm me an unfair advantage.

I'm like Draco, I had it in there because I was going to get a job and they needed proof of ID. I just kept forgetting to take it out, it's out now.
