SlimClip. Not sure you'd call it stylish, but it's definitely slim and sturdy. I've been carrying this thing for 10 years now, and it's great. No regrets retiring fat, lumpy wallet for this puppy.

>Just had it in my back pocket.
Whether you are in Melbourne, Manila or Munich, don't be the guy that keeps his wallet in his back pocket. You will lose it, eventually. Seriously, it is Basic Safety 101.
For me, I don't have a wallet any longer. But have a phone case that I can put a credit card and some notes in,like this one. I have a magnetic money clip for notes which is necessary in most Asian countries where you need a heap of notes. Phone in left front pocket, money in front right pocket.

This one definitely fits the bill. I have been carrying a similar one for years. The one piece all metal construction should outlast any fabric or leather one.

I ditched the wallet years ago (too damn bulky and too likely to end up stuffed with shit) and got an ultra-slim stainless steel money clip I keep in my front right pocket. (The product I use is the Slim Clip, if anyone is interested.)
I have a Titanium Smart Money Clip. Works well.
No i just wanted to see what it looked like to make the same judgement.
I would prefer this: https://www.amazon.com/Gerber-GDC-Money-Clip-31-002521/dp/B00HO02V1A/ref=pd_lpo_vtph_200_bs_img_1?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=Z09GXQ8TDD663J697QS3

depending on what you can get away with.
From left to right:
I have been lurking here and other EDC sites for a while now (years) as well as doing it unconsciously, so my carry is fairly refined despite my age.
This is kind of a long post so be ready to read, I start it with my base carry, which is what I do carry everyday without fail, the rest is what I rotate, carry for certain days and purposes, or carry often enough to be part of my EDC but isn't quite my base carry. You can skim over those if you like, as they aren't quite EDC, I am just posting them to give ideas for others and create an inventory for myself in the proccess.
Base carry
Picture 1
It's divided into black and brown depending on what I am wearing.
Phone goes in my left pocket, knife in the right with my wallet/moneyclip, back left holds my gum and chapstick, back right holds my headphones, keys clip to my belt.
Details for these items will be in the categories below.
Electronics:
Picture 2
The laptop, comes with me depending on the classes I am taking, it hasn't been coming with me recently because I have been able to do what I need to do with my iPad however.
I have two iPhone 4's because the antena on the first one broke and I had to get a new one, which I accquired from my cousin for setting up his stero and buying him GTA V. I use the second one for games now, or experiments, it comes along when I know I am going to be out of the house for a while. The third iPhone is used for Music and wa s acquired several years ago and I neglected to sell it because I like to keep a backup on hand because redundancy.
The Samsung is for emergency calls, it's battery life is immense and it's rather hard to break, I keep it in whatever bag I happen to be carrying at the time.
Picture 3
Monoprice headphones I just got because the Skullcandy headphones I had broke after several years of abuse. (Which is where the case came from.)
Apple earbuds and ear pods go in my bag as a backup, or when I want to talk and walk around or lay around or when I have my brown base.
The FiiO I use with my Sennheisers to give them a little more ompth, for only 20 bucks it makes quite a diffrence when I am listening to music for peroids.
Jabra bluetooth I don't use much anymore, but I like to keep it in my bag just incase my mic breaks, again, because redundancy. I will also have it on hand to use when gaming.
Kingston Data Taveler goes on my keys and contains my school stuff along with about 10ish bootable OSes, lots of common applications, and other tools. If anyone wants a full list, I will post it, but it's rather long and this is already rather large.
eGo is my general purpose drive, I usually keep a copy of my music library on it. (roughly 100 GB)
Picture 4
Cord box:
This gets tossed in whatever bag I happen to be carrying; it also provides a handy spot to keep these cords when I am at the house when I cannot find an extra.
Tools
Picture 5
4.Leatherman Charge ALX + bits and sheath
I do not carry all of my knives on person, I generally only have one on person, but if I have a bag, I keep the others in there.
Flashlight generally comes with me in my left pocket when I am carrying my black set of things, or goes in my bag, however my phone solves the majority of my lighting problems so I have not invested in a better flashlight for daily carry.
iPhone punch comes with me because it helps when messing with phones, or with edges of small cases, or with opening some CD drives.
Wallet/Money

Had mine for about 8 years and it handles everything you need. Cash and about 8 credit/ID cards. Only thing it doesn’t hold is business cards but I don’t hand any out.
Don’t be a Costanza.

I like my slim clip. You can't more minimalist than that. Just as good as a wallet, it holds all the cards I need on one side and cash on the other. It is cheap, lasts forever and I find it far more secure or cautious in a front pocket than a wallet in a back pocket. It also keeps me from becoming a hoarder since there is not a lot of room for cards I don't really need.

I use this because I must keep one ID visible at all times while at work, and I use the clip to attach it to my pocket or a lanyard. It holds 5 ID/credit cards easily.
EDIT: IF it 5 is too loose and 6 too tight(which it usually is), make it 5 and fold 1 or 2 pieces of paper(a $20 does fine) in the middle
You could sew one of these to the back. It looks like there is enough room to snitch the 'tang' into the wallet.
Although it's pretty fricking expensive for folded steel metal.
My wallet (~$16). I carry it in my front pocket. In it I keep:
That wallet has a little side pocket where I can keep a few receipts if I need, but they always come out as soon as I get home.
Here is one that I have and a friend of mine has. it has held up very well for the time I've had it which has been about 2 years.
Undercover work!!! I completely agree. Can we use these somewhere? Just in case someone gets suspicious. We need to cover all angles and “accidents”
This has lasted 6 years so far...with no sign of ever breaking. The metal has not stressed either, holds everything just as securely as the first day.

I have used Slim Clip for about 6 years, holds 6 cards and 30 bills. It doesn´t look like I will have to buy other wallet ever.
Would you go for a money clip? Purchased it for $5 and have had it for about three years.

Only flaw would be slight wear on the pants pocket:

One more thing about moneyclips: if you hate having a brick in your back pocket, you need a moneyclip, not a wallet. They're made of spring steel, so they never wear out, and the one I linked has room for your credit cards/ID.
I used to carry a bunch of stuff in a trifold wallet. I downsized to this Money Clip

I've been using a brass moneyclip that my dad gave me for well over 10 years now, and I can't imagine going back to an actual wallet of any description.
I highly recommend you have a shot at just using a moneyclip for your cards and cash (cards in the middle, cash folded in half over them). You'd have a very hard time finding a more lightweight and compact wallet!
EDIT: This is the kind of money-clip I'm talking about - http://www.amazon.com/Silver-stainless-steel-groomsman-MC1016/dp/B005B8J04I/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1348258066&sr=8-1&keywords=money+clip
I've been using this one for a month and love it:

I recently switched to a slim style wallet.
I had been using a wallet phone case (Otterbox Strada) for about a year but the protection was seriously bad. The phone jumped out of my jersey pocket numerous times and cost me two screens in about three months.
I JUST ordered a solution yesterday because my binder clip was really screwing up my cards (rust, etc).
I searched through the minimalism subreddit, but didn't find anything for me. So I ended up finding this one, which is a little over $5 and I am hoping it will work well and not cost way more than a minimal piece of metal/leather/whatever should.
Take a look at my post below or this:

Ive used a Slim Clip for almost 9 years now. Holds 5-6 credit cards plus my driver's license and insurance card. Second clip on the back holds cash. https://www.amazon.com/Slim-Clip-SCCH-MC12-Double-Sided-Money/dp/B00123VTAY
Chance he would like a money clip? I have a small metal one like this that I put a couple dollars in and my credit card, debit, and license. Probably not a good option if he doesn't ever carry cash though.
Titanium money clip.

I keep my credit card, public transportation pass, debit card, license and insurance card in the clip. I don't carry cash.

I've been using a basic money clip for a few years now. I use 3 cards as well, and while I can't shove more than a few bills in there with them, that's all I need.
I just got this one I carry in my back pocket 1000% better then a bi or tri fold.

It's working well for me.
I went to a money clip a year and a half back (this one: http://www.amazon.com/Kenneth-Cole-REACTION-Silver-Size/dp/B001D07XCO/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1375365204&sr=8-3&keywords=kenneth+cole+money+clip)...I still check for my wallet. It's awesome to not sit on that thing all the time anymore though.
I have a money clip wallet that looks roughly like this, but with one fewer card slot. It forces me to keep what I'm carrying to a minimum, but it's better organized than a lose collection of things in my pocket.
I think it's a good compromise.
ideas for you:
Flexy unwallet
Seiko 5 wrist watch
Tritium keyring
I just realized all my links won't work for you cuz it's not amazon.co.uk but whatever lol
Keysmart key holder
Leatherman wave or skeletool cx if you want something smaller
If you pref the SAK route I'm personally planning on picking up a cybertool lite soon. Might be over your budget.
best of luck
I've been using my Slim Clip for the last 11 years and it still looks exactly the same as when I got it. There's nothing to wear out, it's just a piece of metal and for $6 it's hard to beat the price. It limits you to about 20 bills and 6 cards, which I find sufficient for my needs and prevents the wallet clutter I often see people deal with.
I use this front pocket wallet. It keeps my licence, credit/debit card and a few other cards in it. I also keep a few $20's just in case. But most stuff I purchase with my cash back credit card.
I don't like having anything bulky like a wallet in my back pockets.
I have a simple money clip I use in addition or sometimes in place of this if I know I'm going somewhere that I will use cash. If I use it instead of I take my drivers licence and credit card out and leave the rest of the wallet locked in the glove compartment.
I don't carry a wallet, I carry a MoneyClip in my front pocket. My uncle had lower back problems because his wallet was 2" thick and was stuffed with business cards, receipts, and tons of stuff he doesn't need. Now, I just carry a debit card, credit card, ID, and cash. Everything else can be kept in my vehicle or at home.
It's this one.
I do the same thing and use this
Fold up a 50 or 100 under the cards if I want cash. The knife comes in handy a lot.
I love this

After wearing out too many leather wallets I got a cheapie and I've been really enjoying it so far. Had it about a year.

>I have 2 credit cards and 2 debit cards, some cash (usually), 1 old card for picking door locks, few gift cards, library card, 2 insurance cards, and ID. Money clip is not enough...
Incorrect
I've currently got 13 various ID cards, credit cards, rewards cards, etc. and about 15 dollar bills of various denominations.
I use this one, it is not fancy at all. You can put cards on both sides.
