When you&#8217;re in a place where pickpocketing can be an issue, standard policy for men&#8217;s wallets is to remove them from your back pocket into your front pocket. <\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve discovered that between my wallet, my phone, keys, and my everyday carry <a href=\"http:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/utilikey\/875\">Skeletool<\/a>, I just have too much stuff to keep in my front two pockets. It becomes bulky enough to attract attention, which defeats the purpose of the whole exercise.<\/p>\n<p>I thought I&#8217;d found a solution in the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cardninja.com\/products\/cardninja\">Card Ninja<\/a>, but the price is a bit much &#8212; it&#8217;s just a pocket that adheres to the back of your phone that you stuff only your wallet necessities into. It shouldn&#8217;t be $20.<\/p>\n<p>So I went searching and found this on Amazon at $6.99 for 3 (share with your friends, or keep a spare for when you trade in your cellphone, I guess!). <\/p>\n<p>Most cellphone wallets are clamshell cases that you have to open whenever you want to access your phone or your wallet; with a pocket on the back of your phone, you have access to both without having to open anything. <\/p>\n<p>The pocket is snug enough that cards don&#8217;t fall out but I can also easily jam 12 cards and some cash in there if I have to (the slim design really encourages you to carry only what you need, which is a feature rather than a downside in my opinion).<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re interested in minimizing your everyday carry weight, you really can&#8217;t do better than eliminating your wallet for one of these. I&#8217;ve also stripped down my keys and have only one ring that I keep in my Skeletool&#8217;s carabiner, so I have only two objects to remember when I leave in the morning &#8212; my keys and my phone. Everything else takes care of itself.<\/p>\n<div class='ctx-module-container ctx_default_placement ctx-clearfix'><\/div><span class=\"ctx-article-root\"><!-- --><\/span>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Wallet replacement for minimalists<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":76,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mi_skip_tracking":false},"categories":[29],"tags":[],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14094"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/76"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=14094"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14094\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":14096,"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14094\/revisions\/14096"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=14094"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=14094"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=14094"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
