Just interested in seeing what you guys use. Why do you prefer one over the other, or do you switch it up?

For the past decade ive used a trifold.

Just a couple weeks ago I switched over to an M-Clip and a cardholder and I must say I like it much better.


I hate driving with an elevated buttcheek

Chester Mox card case--just enough room for cards and some cash--it's perfect!

I'm currently using a trifold (that I dislike immensely), but I've been eying the bifolds & card-cases made by Corter so I think I'll move on to one of those soon.

BTW @Chris Waffles: How does the leather feel on your card case? Also, does it feel cumbersome in your back pocket when you sit or walk?

I use the card case: http://www.saddlebackleather.com/ca...ucts/2809-Leather-Wallet-Simple-Tobacco-Brown

I've had it for several months and it's awesome! It's got a really great patina on it already, too. I put both my cards and money in it. I use this specific card case because I like to have my cards/money in my front pocket, there is very little bulge from it (I'm not a fan of front pocket bulge other than from one's cell phone), and it's simple. Plus, I have back problems and can't have a huge bifold or trifold in my back pocket.

Simple card holder that accommodates cash in a center fold. Drivers license, One cc, and emergency cash...that's all

I basically use the slimmest bifold I can find. Debit card, 2 CCs, drivers license and some bills.

I have a money clip but I prefer the security of a wallet. Less awkward to handle too, since the chances of me leaving home without CCs and drivers license are minimal, and cramming that into a money clip seems like a pain.

It depends on what I'm wearing and where I'm going.

I use a card case because I don't really use/need cash much, only really carry from $30-$50 cash most of the time. But when I do need to carry some cash, like when in Vegas or vacation for example, I use a money clip along with a card case.

Bifold most of the time. When I'm going out I'll just use a card case.
