I just upgraded from a rubber band wallet to a Bandit Wallet - http://www.banditwallet.com The Bandit is made from an elastic fabric - it's smooth on the outside and rubber on the inside. Just picked one up a few months ago and I love it! Looks a little corny… I just upgraded from a rubber band wallet to a Bandit Wallet – http://www.banditwallet.com

Not so sure about it. rubber... is it recyclable? How much energy is needed to make one of these? It's new and looks sleek but how good design is it really? I don't want to be a - we Swiss call it "Spielverderber" - spoiler - but please think twice and ask further. It IS possible to make wallets that are as great as this one and leave zero emissions into our air. I do it. Yes, I'm an artist and designer too and I happen to make wallets as well. And I'm very concerned about new products. Every creation can be a destruction of something that's here already (your old wallet, our environment). Sometimes the destruction leads to improvements (electronic cars may make fuel cars extinct), sometimes not (China's industry i.e. pollution made the river dolphins extinct). Hmmm.

I saw this awhile back but all I could figure out was it had one bug pocket, not separated like in your photo. Which wasn't as appealing. Thanks for sharing!
