It’s time to ditch the George Costanza, over stuffed, bulking wallet and upgrade to something slimmer. In all reality, the average person only needs to carry 3 to 5 cards in their wallets, plus a little cash (since we all swiped that debit card) – so there’s no need for a huge wallet in your pocket.
Show your back pocket some love and upgrade to a card case. I’ve used card cases primarily for the last 3 years and I can’t see going back to a regular wallet. Some designers have added a money clip to the back of their card cases, so you can keep a few dollars on hand with your plastic.
Below, I’ve curated a collection of 15 card cases that caught my eye and may hopefully find a way into your pocket. The best feature of a card case is that it’s slim enough to store in your front pocket. Now you can ward off pickpockets and give your right butt-check a break.

We recently purchased a leather phone case / card holder. Total game changer…in a quote: “where before I was blind, now I can see.” We probably would’ve bought one of the above instead had we seen this first, but oh well. Great post!
Hi Mugsy,
Thanks for dropping by. I looked a few of those two bu HEX and Herschel, but, I strayed away from those because of the fear of losing both my phone and credit card in one swipe.
Best,
Sabir
That’s a very good point. If you tend to lose your phone, do not take this route! Your slim wallet would be the perfect alternative. Good stuff!
Great options! I have one myself and want to upgrade soon but it isnt easy finding a 6 slot one

Yeah, it’s hard to find a 6 slot card case. I’ve learned not to carry so much stuff with me now tough.
Also, I’m co-hosting an event at Bloomingdales next week for GQ. You should definitely try to make it if you can. RSVP2@GQ.com.
