I've had things slide out out of my leather wallet enough times that this seemed like the ideal solution. My immediate disappointment is its capacity. All it will hold is 7-8 cards max. I carry a drivers license, debit card, two credit cards, three gas cards and three retail charge cards, a Costco card, a medical insurance card and a dental insurance card. There's no way all of these will fit. Make it twice as thick and it might approach being practical. I received the “ID and Paper Size” wallet today.

I typically have a mobile phone in one front pocket and car keys in the other, leaving not much room for a wallet. fuchikoma-x - So you would still line it with aluminum foil, even though the outside shell itself is aluminum?
