I've been using a trove wallet for four years, I did try ridge wallet last year but found it too firm.

I carry my curve card, a credit card and driving licence.

In terms of cash I always try to keep £100 which folds nicely.

All my loyalty cards are stored in an app.

Yeah, pretty much the same here, although add in keycard for the office too.
 
I always have a card holder with me, about 5 cards and my driving licence. Pay for most things on my phone but I still find that I need my ID fairly regularly so I just keep it with me.

I still don't know why there isn't some form of ID which can be on your phone, it would make so much sense!
 
Nope, Never carried a Wallet ever, I don't like the idea if you loose/drop your wallet everything is gone, Cash, Cards etc

Although i very rarely carry cash now, Just use my card..might as well get use to it as it will be a cashless society eventually, Will all be cards/Phone!

I carry my keys, phone and sometimes a very thin card holder (otherwise I'll pay with the phone). A wallet and card is becoming less important nowadays although I do often carry it in a very thin holder.
 
I tend to rely on my phone for most things. Though I do carry a wallet sometimes (mainly on holiday). I tend to put my debit card in my pocket too just in case my phone runs out of battery.
 
Standard Cheapo Leather Wallet for me, I did think about something like a Ridge wallet but a) They are flipping expensive and b) although they are sleeker they are ridged and although my current one is a little bulky it does form for my fat posterior and isn't uncomfortable in my rear pocket. Maybe its because i have gotten used to it..
 
I have a card wallet which holds my driving licence, curve card, backup card and work ID.

That feature is available in iOS but sadly not here.

Should probably slim down to a card holder with clip or something.

All my club cards are on the phone app now. Nectar card, Tesco Club Card, Waitrose. I used to do what you do too.

All my bank cards too are on my phone as well. a Double click on the power button brings it up.
 
you'll need to carry stuff covertly as lawlessness steps up

I carry my Phone (with a few notes tucked behind the case) and a credit card (just in case the phone doesn't work).
 
I carry a small card wallet which allows me to carry folded notes too. I only really carry a few cards not my whole collection. I do have Google Pay/Wallet set up on my phone also and I do use it while out and about but not every time but you just can't trust it 100% enough to be able to leave wallet at home. Also I hate wallets with coin compartments on them. Any coins just go in my pocket/kept in car. Oh and I hate wallets with horizontal card slots, I only like vertical card slots.

This is the wallet I use: https://smile.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07K1C7FH2

Wallets will be a thing of the past soon when we become a cashless society.

I carry bank card, driving licence, work permits, and a few other cards that must be carried as they relate to insurance and legal stuff.
I also have a challenge coin, flash drive, USB cable adapter, a Swiss Army Knife... and finally some notes and coins because I find an awful lot of places that still don't take card or phone-pay. Cash still has its place, and there are plenty of other things to carry in a wallet.

This is all in a wallet that's not much bigger than a credit card anyway and still smaller than some of the 'minimalist' options I've seen friends touting.

If I lose my wallet and I'm in the middle of nowhere, I can still find my way home or phone for people to pick me up, supply me with funds, verify my identity and status, cancel the existing cards and send out replacements. I also lose a few quid, a couple of tools and some keepsakes....

But if I lose my phone, I can contact no-one, it costs me over a thousand pounds, I lose all my data and someone else makes further money from selling it all on.
