You can get both or switch one out for the other thanks to the Ridge’s modular design. The wallet also provides RFID protection to prevent wireless theft. 

All of this is backed by a lifetime warranty, but considering how rugged this wallet is, you may never need to use it. If you want even more durability, you can spring for the titanium version, and for the absolute best balance of strength and lightness, check out the carbon fiber version.

#2: Secrid Cardprotector

For the true wallet minimalists, there’s the Secrid Cardprotector. This thin aluminum card holder has an impressively small footprint and a handy mechanism that makes it a breeze to access your cards.

To use the Cardprotector, you press a tiny lever at the bottom that causes the cards to spring out in a stack. This way, you can select whichever card you need without any hesitation. The Cardprotector can hold up to 4 embossed or 6 flat cards, and it weighs just 48 grams.

This wallet isn’t for everyone, as it has no room for cash and only holds a few cards. But if you only use a handful of cards and want a super slim wallet, you should definitely consider the Cardprotector.

#3: Machine Era Ti5 Slim Wallet

Machine Era is best known for its range of sleek, utilitarian pens that aim to make you rethink your everyday carry. Their popular Ti5 wallet embodies that same design philosophy, and it truly is a solid addition to your minimal EDC.

This wallet is crafted from aerospace grade titanium, which is both resilient and lightweight (only 0.6 oz). The titanium is hand-finished with a corrosion proof finish that prevents the material from rusting or oxidizing. At 0.28” thick, it’s wafer-thin and will take up almost no space in your pocket.

The elastic band allows you to quickly stash your cash, and thanks to the open design, you’ll never need to fumble. As a neat bonus, the thumb slot on the back that allows you to access your interior cards doubles as a bottle opener. It’s a lot of wallet for just $65.
