A protective portable information-bearing card sleeve used to prevent fraud and credit card theft even while using the card. First and second planar walls disposed in spaced relationship to each other and each having a first edge connected to the first edge of the other wall; said walls being sized and connected so as to form a housing that removably retains the card; wherein the first wall includes a flexible upper portion that permits visible exposure of a first surface of the card by bending the flexible portion outwardly away from the second wall so as to expose the first surface of the card. The case consists essentially of polymer, plastic, and at least one metal, and wherein one of the walls have at least one rectangular cut out to permit visible exposure of a second surface of the card.

The present invention is a compact wallet designed to present a minimal silhouette in a shirt, pants or purse pocket. Novel features hold the silhouette to the minimal dimensions of a credit card while affording maximal expandability for content storage and accessibility. A novel method makes additional features modularly available.
