My black leather wallet. It pisses off all my vegan friends.

A nice sort of vengence for them always serving me rabbit food.

Nice Touch

The "Rawhide Trifold" is excellent - made from Tyvek, with a Real Leather symbol embossed inside encircled by the words "High Density Polyethylene".

It's not often a wallet can be funny. Bravo.

I'm of the opinion that thinkgeek should carry a wallet that says "Bad Mother Fscker"

More like top ten wallets for idiots

More like top ten wallets for idiots who buy into this whole "geek culture" bullshit.

What if we were to create an animal that wants to be eaten? I think Douglas Adams had it right.

Hmm - all I can read is it is for people that hate wallets - have you got a link for people that hate flash?

Dude this is not for a real geeks! Real geeks don't drool at matrix paper-like materials.

I'm a geek.

I want a wallet with built in clock, mp3 player, camera, radio and cellphone abilities. (screw iPod! I'm a friggin geek, I have neither OSX nor Windows, I use IRC on a command line and browse in a text browser!)

I want it to store securely my passwords and info if I identify properly.

Identification should be done on several levels:

- iris detectiom fingerprint detection and dna-o-matic instant DNA analyzer.
- voice detection, and voice recognition so it can understand my password

If I don't identify properly, it should communicate my location to a sattelite in orbit and it should beam a deadly laser beam right at me.

Why bother making yourself an ugly looking wallet, when you could just use a money clip:

Sure, there's no room for all the rest of the junk you put into a wallet, but, then again, most of it is junk... and as a hardcore geek you've already got too much to carry around in your pockets, so you're better off without one. =)

What about all the plastic which magically give us money from friendly ATMs and let us into our secret HQ (ie the server room) etc? Well, just put 'em all in your backpocket, they might bend a wee bit, but nowadays they survive such treatment without breaking/stop working.

Like humans. Why can't we eat humans? It's a natural resource that we don't use. Instead we take up more natural resources, like land, to keep their rotting bodies in. We could eat them, turn their skin to leather, and use their bounds for other great products. I would like a human skin wallet.

Re:Thanks, but..

[aplusjimages]

But what if you got shot in the ass while grinding at the club. This happens to geeks all the time. The wallet would then either stop the bullet or deflect it back at the shooter. Hopefully killing the shooter. It's genious.

I like using those black paper binders [officedepot.com] as money clips. They work well and you can get them from work.

but are these features washingmachine-proof?

[kpharmer]

All these gadgets are fine, until my wife throws the pants & wallet together into the wash.

note, in case my wife reads this: not complaining that someone else in the house does my wash, just need to not waste money on a wallet that can't survive the handling.

I'm thinking about neoprene

So the only humans worth eating would be vegetarians.

Wow, you are a such a fag.

Oh wow Jimbo, you can say *** and it doesn't bleep you out!

"no, it wasn't a purse, it was european"

Oh yeah, that totally protected your masculinity. Good job, Hercules.

I want a wallet that looks like a tiny mattress. It will come in handy when the banks collapse and people start hiding their money in mattresses again--my money will already be in the mattress!
