Abstract: This device is a billfold and credit card carrier engineered for minimum thickness. Whereas most wallets have compartments for currency and vertically stacked compartments for plastic ID and credit cards, this wallet has singular pockets on either side holding cards stacked one directly on top of the other (versus the usual offset stacking). Paper currency, business cards and other paper items are, held securely by an attached elastic band which closes over the other side of the wallet when folded. This omission of a separate pouch dedicated to paper currency or other hardware allows the wallet a very thin profile, which offers users a lighter, smaller, more comfortable wallet in their pocket.

Abstract: A money clip is disclosed with RF shielding characteristics to prevent skimming of stored magnetic and/or digital data in credit cards, quick pay devices, and other items that include magnetically stored personal data.
