Thoughts on these credit card cases?

I'm not saying you should go out and buy one with a big Red Target on it... but if it's plain brown or black, it will do the job just fine.

If you disagree with me...well I can't help you. A shrink might be able to solve your low self-esteem issues though...

If you own a Louis Vuitton card holder with the damier pattern on it...well, you're a douche.
If you paid full retail for it... just get the word douche tattooed on your forehead.

My opinion of course....

LOL. I guess you are right. If my credit card holder were a USD20 target one, I might also feel tempted to hide it while it's out...

I believe you. I suppose it depends on where you draw the line. I like my fancy card case (I posted a picture of it earlier). Things like boxer briefs and undershirts are where I draw my line. $120 Zimmerli underwear is crazy. I buy my Calvin Kleins at TJ Maxx. My balls can't tell the difference.

I liked it too.

And I agree that it all depends on where you draw the line. The same can be said about ties. And shoes. And suits. And cars. And watches. And...

My wife fully agrees that I should draw the line for credit card holders at USD 20...

She also considers that I should draw the line for shoe as at EUR 200. After all, that is what she seems to do...

How about this Trafalgar case for a meager $36 ?

It is not that it looks bad but... still a bit boring. I really think that a credit card case is an item where one can afford to go a bit beyond ones normal, more conservative, limits. I mean, you do not have to haul it out during the business meeting.

If you click on "Saddleback Leather Company" at the top of the page, they have some pretty practical looking ones. I sort of like the one that's just one big pouch with a notch at the bottom so you can push stuff out.

However, if you use it to hold business cards.... I'm sticking with my $500 Alligator card case RangerP.
