While Thomas Marriot is convinced that his Lightweight iPhone case will one day be the end of the wallet, I don’t see this case becoming a wallet killer. It just doesn’t offer enough space. Great, it can hold a credit card or two, but what about spare cash? What about the 10 receipts I have stuck in my wallet at any given time? Or my supermarket discount cards?

Sure, this is a handy tool, but let’s call it what it is; a convenient, lightweight case that has a credit card holder slot. Wallet killer? Not so much.

The Mattress Wallet not only holds your money, but also provides that mouse in your pocket with a great place to sleep.

Don’t feel like spending the rest of your life in prison? Then you’d best leave that “Do Not Remove Under Penalty of Law” tag exactly where it is, even if it does bulge from your pocket. What’s with those tags anyway? I bet it’s some tracking device. Can’t they let me live in peace? LEAVE ME ALONE! THE VOICES! THEY WON’T STOP! AHHH!

You can’t get much more authentic than this. These Money Bag Wallets are made of authentic old-timey vintage money bags. The same type of bag you can see thieves swipe from the back of an armored vehicle in those brand new “moving pictures” I’ve been hearing so much about.

The product page warns that some of the bags do show signs of their age, though are all together in great shape. Grab your own for $35 from Etsy.

Men can’t have a purse. It’s a set-in-stone rule that has been passed down to us for many generations. But with today’s technology and the demand for our iPhones, digital cameras and Blackberries has reached an all-time high. We simply can’t leave the house with keys and a wallet anymore and our pockets can’t hold everything. What’s a homeboy to do?

Easy. Grab a Koffski Set. It’s a wallet and bag that can connect to a shoulder strap that resembles an old-school shoulder holster that detectives wore throughout the 20th century. Pretend you’re Lieutenant Frank Bullitt with a vendetta and nothing left to lose…except your gadgets.

Need a new reason to leave your wallet at home? eWallet, the software that serves as a password manager and digital wallet, has a version coming to the iPhone and iPod Touch. Word on the street is that the software is finished and ready to launch, awaiting the final word from Apple.

With the iPhone 3G within our grasps, the more software released for it, the better. When you already have an iPhone leaving a bulge in your pockets, you’ll do anything to avoid leaving imprints in your denim.

Sometimes a bland leather wallet just isn’t enough. That’s why people come up with ideas like the Crossword Puzzle Wallet. You might not write on it but it’s totally solvable. #47 is Manual, #54 is Eliot and that’s all I got; I need help. That’s alright though, as you can expect to hold on to this wallet for as long as you’d like making it a much longer crossword puzzle game than the Sunday paper.

Once you’ve completed it, the wallet still has the power to hold your money and plastic but has lost its touch of originality. If only the puzzle could change daily.

Here’s an idea that seems so simple once someone has actually pulled it off. A lot of people have rewards cards or membership cards for various stores they shop at. Instead of carrying around a bulky amount of cards in your wallet, try scanning them and putting the image on your iPhone or comparable mobile device. You’ll save yourself time, space and a headache on your next trip to the store.

As much as we hate to encourage the poser mentality, owning something like the Fender Wallet would totally add to the rocker uniform which you’ve spent so long perfecting.

Now that you’ve got your list of essential hardware to name-drop into conversation, you can rock the leather Fender Wallet which is designed to look like a pair of stacked amps, complete with a traditional amp cord for connecting the wallet to your belt loop like one of those punky chain wallets. You can pick up your own for $24 or wait until they’re available at your local Hot Topic or Spencers for double the price.

Although it’s no Pita Wallet, the Currency Wallet from Margiela will certainly attract a classier woman when you whip it out of your back pocket.

Available in either the US Dollar or the Euro, each wallet is about $390 and demands an owner with plenty of cash to load it up with. At least you’ll look wealthy when you whip out the Euro-version to pick up that silly Mustache Comb necklace for your girlfriend.

We’ve seen a pretty wide array of uses for RFID tagging, including senior citizen control and kitteh management. LadyBag is a smart personal accessory which uses RFID tags to monitor the items you bring with you out of your home, such as your keys and wallet, and also judges your emotion based on your person-to-bag interaction.

When the sensors on the LadyBag feel a disturbance in the force (something missing from its inner contents), the item’s logo will appear on the special LED display. The bag also reads your emotional state. If you’re fiddling around with the zipper, a nervous looking emoticon appears. If you’re hugging the bag close, a happy face appears. — Andrew Dobrow
