A super-slim wallet holds the four to six cards you use and nothing else, in something under half an inch thick that sits flat in a front pocket. Leather, aluminum or fabric, the ones that work have one thing in common: they make you decide what to carry. This guide ranks the slim wallets we stock by thickness and what they hold.
