New business model: Invent a small, minimalist wallet… Put said wallet on Kickstarter… Get rich and famous… Buy a hovercraft. With the success of so many wallets on Kickstarter, this seems the way to go. The latest is from Obtainium (not to be confused with the mineral from Avatar). The battle tested aluminum wallets are designed to provide extreme durability while keeping your cards and cash in a sleek little holster. The quick insert and removal system for your credit cards is the nicest part of the wallet, allowing it to hold one or more cards (8 and cash or 10 without any dough) that easily slide in and stay in place. Plus, at just 15mm thick, it won’t add much annoyance to your life.
