Is your wallet stuffed to the point of bursting? Time to go minimalist, and help the environment while you’re at it.

The Jimi wallet is small and slender, making it an easy front pocket fit. The cardholder takes four cards while the money clip holds one card and a bill, and slides out if you want to go even more minimal.

The plastic material is translucent for a quick ID flash, and water resistant to protect your cash. A lanyard slot makes it even more convenient, whether you’re a cyclist, student, busy mom, or business executive.

Manufactured from 100% recycled and recyclable materials, the green benefits are twofold: 1% of the sales revenue for each Jimi wallet is invested in the environment.

For an upgrade, check out the JimiX; similar to the original, but with an external moneyclip that provides more room for cash. Jimi also makes multi media cases, SD clips, game shells, lanyards, and other accessories- and everything they sell is under $16.

The Jimi wallet is available in eleven colors, including smoke, aqua, ruby, and sea glass. You can find this U.S. made product in Lance Armstrong’s bike store in Austin, TX, and boutiques in Tokyo…or you can order online.

Price: $14.95 | BUY

    I was so close to buying one of these a week ago. They are an awesome idea and very well put together. I decided in the end, though, that they were too rigid for me to comfortably carry in my front pocket and ended up going for a Slim Slimmy wallet, instead.

    That being said, I’ve handled the Jimi in person and it would be great for almost any other circumstance, especially if you are doing anything sports-related.

    I like how the photo shows a magic wallet. I have owned three jimi wallets and one magic wallet. The magic wallet has withstood more wear and tear than the jimi could ever take. The plastic hinge on the jimi eventually breaks. I got close to a year out of each jimi. The magic wallet is just as slender and has lasted longer for me.

    I’ve had a JImi for about a year now, I like it much better than my old wallet, the only problem is putting multiple bills in the wallet. If you start out with a twenty it holds it fine but when you break that it gets harder to close, but it’s not a big enough problem to recommend against using it.

    What a coincidence – I happen to live in both those places. Thanks for the tip!

    Why is it that everything in life can be related back to either Seinfeld or the Simpsons?

    I picked up a Bandit Wallet the other day – http://www.banditwallet.com. The bandit is like a rubber band wallet, only better. It’s rubber on the inside and smooth on the outside. I’ve been using mine now for a few months and love it!
