Comments on: The Rubber Band Wallet http://www.therowboat.com/2009/03/the-rubber-band-wallet/ A weblog of speculation, experience, and the study of religion.

I wanted to make a better elastic "rubber band" wallet, so I invented the Bandit Wallet - www.banditwallet.com The Bandit is made of durable, elastic fabric with exposed rubber gripper on the inside. The gripper secures your cash and cards like a rubber band. But, the material is smooth on the outside, so it slides easily into you pocket. And, the material is very durable - it won't break like a rubber band. The Bandit can hold as few as 3 cards or as many as 2" worth. Check it out. I just launched this product in Feb of 2010.

This article, with a helping hand from Reddit, brought in ten times more visitors in its first day than The Row Boat's previous daily record. Wow. I gotta get out of the speculation business.

Although, one of my outer cards is my work RFID badge though. Makes for some nice ass-beeping that the leather of a wallet might block out. It's also nicely thick and stiff for the magic-walletness.

I prefer a thick produce band (like the kind that holds broccoli together). They last a long time, typically 6 months or more, and give plenty of friction to hold the assembly in your pocket. I'm not as organized about ordering the contents, but there are two things I always have: first, a folded sheet of letter-sized paper for notes, and second, a Fisher bullet space pen with a clip (http://www.spacepen.com/bullet.aspx). The pen is just a tiny bit longer than a credit card, and I can keep it tucked inside the fold of the paper, with the clip attached to the paper. Between the clip and the rubber band, the pen's not going anywhere, and it's always at hand. I use a similar arrangement. I prefer a thick produce band (like the kind that holds broccoli together).
