There is disclosed a compact wallet, comprising at least two rigid plates at least one having a channel into which an encircling elastic band is interposed to bias the at least two rigid plates inwardly and securely hold the card-like contents while providing elastic volume therebetween while allowing freedom for the dynamic extension and contraction of the band over the entire running length of the wallet. The wallet includes an auxiliary feature removably attached within the interior at least one of the at least two rigid plates interposed using a tang inserted into a recess formed inside the plate, the tang having a hook, the hook extending at an angle to the tang, the hook engaging an undercut of the recess to prevent inadvertent dislodgement of the auxiliary feature from the recess.

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.

A wallet is provided and, in particular, a customizable wallet is provided which is comprised of removable and replaceable components. The components may include a frame; a front frame, secured to an exterior surface of the frame; a tensioning mechanism secured within the frame, the tensioning mechanism further defining a space between the front frame and the tensioning mechanism, the defined space dimensioned to hold one or more credit card-sized items. Further components may include a removable front plate, the front plate secured within the frame behind the front frame via the tensioning mechanism, and a removable backplate, the backplate secured within the frame via the tensioning mechanism; and wherein the front plate and the backplate are independently removable via application of pressure to the tensioning mechanism.

A wallet assembly that receives a contactless payment card includes a wallet arranged as at least a bifold wallet with first and second wallet sides, one side configured to receive the contactless card and the other configured to receive additional items and payment cards. RFID shielding eliminates electromagnetic signals from the additional payment cards. A flap attached to the wallet side holding the contactless card has a hole or window that physically exposes a portion of the payment card.

The invention relates to a holding device for cards and/or money, in particular to the use of U-shaped holding devices for credit cards. The invention relates to a holding device (100) for cards, money, or the like, comprising a first plate (101) and a second plate (102) with smaller dimensions than the first plate (101). According to the invention, the second plate (102) lies over the first plate (101) and is connected to the first plate (101) on at least two sides, and the second plate (102) has a region (102a) which tapers outwards on one side not connected to the first plate (101).

The disclosure includes a wallet comprising an open-sided shell, a flexible member coupled to the open-sided shell, and a pull tab coupled to the external surface of the flexible member. The disclosure also includes a wallet comprising an open-sided shell, a flexible member coupled to the open-sided shell, a stretchable band configured to wrap around the open-sided shell and the flexible member, and a radio frequency identification (RFID) protection plate coupled to the open-sided shell. In some embodiments, the RFID protection plate is configured to securably couple at least one personal card between the RFID protection plate and the open-sided shell. The disclosure includes a wallet comprising an open-sided shell, a first protruding portion coupled to the open-sided shell, and a second protruding portion coupled to the open-sided shell.
