Example

[0033]The art is a wallet or billfold with the functionality of a money clip and the protective material offered by a large wallet or billfold, but in a small, streamlined, compact wallet. The art is created with the simplest construction, created from one, single rectangular piece of material, sometimes lined, sometimes not, two quadrilateral pieces that form pockets on the left and right sides, and one elastic, stitched together in a linear fashion.

Abstract

This device is a billfold and credit card carrier engineered for minimum thickness. Whereas most wallets have compartments for currency and vertically stacked compartments for plastic ID and credit cards, this wallet has singular pockets on either side holding cards stacked one directly on top of the other (versus the usual offset stacking). Paper currency, business cards and other paper items are, held securely by an attached elastic band which closes over the other side of the wallet when folded. This omission of a separate pouch dedicated to paper currency or other hardware allows the wallet a very thin profile, which offers users a lighter, smaller, more comfortable wallet in their pocket.
