My old roommate turned my onto money-band. Took me al title while to get used to it, but now I’ll never go back to a regular wallet. The site is http://www.money-band.com I believe.

I just stumbled upon your post. I too used to use a rubber band wallet. I got sick of it breaking all of the time. Check out the wallet I invented to stop that from happening that is really easy to use. At http://www.thexband.com. Their is no wallet like this one. Seriously… I’ve looked.

I was a rubber band user until I got fed up with it breaking all the time and sticking in my pocket. I wanted to make a better elastic “rubber band” wallet, so I invented the Bandit Wallet – http://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.

I have been using this type of ‘wallet’ for many years – through all forms of ridicule and jibing – it is nice to see that others have thought of this – as with Mike above, I use the bands used for broccoli – they are colorful, taught, and last a long time – and the broccoli is good to eat!

Well, the verdict is in: practical advice is truly a boon for traffic! 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.

i think i might try this. i had a similar arrangement for a while when i was hiking, only i kept the whole shebang in a tyvek sleeve that my atm card came in, and on that i taped a piece of paper with “if found please mail to” info. i liked the organization and lack of bulk, but it wore out. lately i’ve been recklessly rocking the loose-in-my-pocket system, which I wouldn’t recommend to anyone.

Also a note, for the rubberband wallet, I also recommend that the outer four cards are cards you don’t care about as much as they will get super grimy (I use my Free Victoria Secret Panties card since I don’t care about actually getting it). 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.
