Much smaller and lighter than a traditional wallet.  Fits in a pocket or tiny purse.  I put 2 cards in the top slot - main credit card & drivers license (with an elastic to pull them out), subway card & transit debit card in one side, and cash (about 5 bills cause no one uses cash anymore) and debit card in the other (wide) side - all a NYer really needs.  I now keep secondary cards in another small holder and only grab them if needed (rare) and loyalty cards are all on a keyring now.  Coins go to the BF cause I hate the weight.  No more need for a massive wallet!  The elastic works well but you do need 2 hands to extend it and I had a hard time last month with a sprained wrist.  I learned to just keep the cards poking out till I healed.  The red is gorgeous!
