My last two wallets were Bifold w/ ID flap from JC Penny .. Stafford was the name. They always worked well for me .. lasted a long time. Due for a new one .. no JC Penny stores left near me anymore.
Don't like the internet option in this case .. prefer to see & touch the wallet in person. So I went with a local Amish leather shop this time .. as I could see the wallets up close and get an idea if I would like it. ID flaps were not a choice before (Stafford always had ID flap) .. but the leather shop had numerous configurations so I decided to go without the ID flap .. every time I had to show an ID .. it's always the same "could you take that out please". So .. no flap for me this time.

Never liked sitting on a wallet either (especially on long trips in the car) .. that's why I started wearing cargo pants & shorts in recent years .. they have multiple pockets.
I've considered minimalist wallets .. like some of the designs from The Mr. Lentz Shop & Ashland Leather for example .. online retailers.

Broke the habit of the trifold... finally!
But added a quick release hook and short chain to the wallet. Quasi-biker style I guess? Prevents accidental loss!
Chain acts as added security for those looking for loose change.
Have cut back on the money bills, and plastic cards. Thinner is a winner for me.
Difficult to find the right design and one built like an army truck.
CAA offers this great durable wallet, with foil protection against ID copying.

My wife had one custom made for me in C-bad, at a place called "The Recycled Cow." It is tiny, just big enough to hold half-a-dozen slips of plastic ID/debit/credit cards...and no money. I prefer it in a shirt pocket.
I have this one.

Was looking at a wallet similar to that at Colblentz Leather in Millersburg Oh. Was called a Leather Magnetic Money Clip Wallet ...
money clip on one side and card holder on the other .. I would use for warmer weather summer cloths.

I use a cloth-fabric wallet made from those central american weaved fabrics, with lots of colors.
Why fabric? I no longer lose wallets.
I used to use leather wallets, and, they'd seem to find a way of falling from my pocket, and I got tired of all of the hassles of replacing everything.
Now with the fabric, they fall apart without ever falling out.

I've never lost a wallet (knock on wood) .. but have left Credit Cards behind a couple times when I was younger. Eventually solved the CC problem by holding a wallet in my hand until the server brings back my CC. The wallet never goes back into my pocket until the CC is put back.

None.
DL, CC, Ins card, and if necessary a Lowes card and/or my business CC.
If I have folding money, it's in the other pocket.
Started that about march 2020, when I stopped touching cash and change.
I've always hated sitting on a wallet as well, and use to frequently remove it while driving, passenging, or even just sitting.
Only carrying 3 cards pretty much fixed that.

I don’t know why I even carry a wallet. Hardly ever carry cash because I use a debit card for all purchases. And my drivers license and a key ring thing card that has 5 of the most common stores I shop at club member bar codes. That’s only 3 cards and could just be put in a pocket
