Keep­ing a thick, brick wal­let in your back pocket doesn’t do your spinal align­ment any favors when sit­ting down. This imbal­ance causes lower back pain. Then again, hav­ing it jammed in your front pocket doesn’t com­pli­ment your appear­ance. A card wal­let solves these issues and has less room for over­load, so you can travel with the bare neces­si­ties. Less bag­gage is always a good thing. So I started looking.

I was debat­ing between  J. Fold, Bosca and MAKR, each hav­ing their own unique style. J. Fold is a bit cheaper, mod­ern and offered the most selec­tions. I really liked this one, which offered room for two cards and cash. Bosca has a tra­di­tional, sim­pler look, also offer­ing sev­eral great options, dig­ging this design. And MAKR offers hand made wal­lets that typ­i­cally run out of sup­ply due to high demand. Clean designs made in high qual­ity leather had me itch­ing for this MAKR, but the cost gave me sec­ond thoughts.

I finally decided to go with the Bosca and couldn’t be hap­pier. The three card slots offer enough room for 7 cards. A pow­er­ful, mag­netic money clip is attached to the back, which won’t lose its stay­ing power like ten­sion or spring loaded clips. The leather and stitch­ing should last a long time.

About the same width as my Black­berry, depend­ing how much loot I’m carrying.

With all the great choices out there, find­ing the per­fect flat wal­let shouldn’t be a prob­lem. If you can let go of the unnec­es­sary clut­ter in your cur­rent bill holder, then pick your­self a win­ner. Besides look­ing mod­ern, it’s also harder to steal. It def­i­nitely fits the bill.
