A standard Mastercard put in one of the slots did not fall out. I gave it quite a hard shake held vertically it didn't move. The material has more of rubbery feel than the slippery feel of polished leather so there is quite strong friction between that and the card.

For a polymer wallet done RIGHT, check out the Flipside Wallet from FlipsideWallet.com. Locks shut, RFID blocking, keeps everyting safe and looks awesome.

So a waterproof wallet makes more sense. To Michael Murray - the answer is to have several wallets for different days. Or only carry what you need on a given day. Or simplify your life.
