I need some recommendations/ideas please.
Im after a new wallet and a smartphone holder. I need a fully featured wallet, coinage, cards, maybe even some other cool storage ideas, micro sd card, etc. Smartphone holder needs to be carried on the belt.
Im looking at tactical types, ive checked out condor and maxp and they dont really have anything i like, maybe im not seeing what is out there for those two brands though.
I now own a max p bifold wallet but need to upgrade, and instead of keeping the mobile phone in the pocket ive read that is safer to have it in a pouch away from the body.
Any help much appreciated, thanks.

You asked for my ideas, so here they are: Prepper and Consumer Unit are mutually exclusive. In my opinion you can't be both. So buy the cheapest most practical wallet/phone holder you can. Save your money for better uses. Cheap stuff never lasts, im looking for quality and bang for buck? Any ideas/recomendations other than your opinion, i mean like brand, what to buy? |

Forget coins in your wallet. They'll add too much bulk.

I keep my coins in my trouser pocket. I also have some in my GHB and in the centre-console of my car. I stopped carrying coins in my wallet as a) they're bulky and b) the extra layer of leather (or canvas) built into the wallet is bulky. Also these days pretty much all payphones use a prepaid card and/or credit cards, if I understand correctly.

I like to keep about 8 bucks in coin in my wallet, it is not bulky for me and doesn't worry me, just 1 and 2 dollar coins in a zippered compartment is no real fuss, just another redundancy in my opinion. I dont like keeping coins in my pockets, but i do keep coinage in the car and in my back pack. Most pay phones in suburban and city areas you can use cards, but i have been in some villages cut off from the mobile network in country areas where they only have pay phones that use coins or you can use reverse charges.

RM Williams but nothing like you are after. Now there is no way you have heard of Etsy. I think. Maybe  But they are a worldwide craft community that sell direct to the buyer. I've used them a lot and my daughter actually has a shop too on there. It's huge and there are heaps of leather artisans that have all sorts of craft, including handmade wallets - with phone compartments etc. It depends how you word you search and by changing the parameters it will throw up new sellers. Many will make you something of your own design. This is one I found www.etsy.com/au/listing/177024728/iphone-leather-wallet-5s-4s-genuine?ga_order=most_relevant&ga_search_type=all&ga_view_type=gallery&ga_search_query=smartphone%20wallet%20belt&ref=sr_gallery_5and the price is comparable to some of the brands you were looking at. Make sure the price is in AU $ and it should default to that anyway as it recognises your location. Make sure you get a postage price too. Good luck! You gave me an idea for my son for a Christmas gift! |
