1. Two of our Hip Sidekicks think the Buffway Slim is one of the best credit card holders.
Buffway Slim Leather Wallet – $12.74 (regularly $16.99)
This discreet leather wallet can hold up to 8 different credit cards. Our Hip Sidekick, Shane, said it’s serviced him well over the past 5 years. It’s slim, has lots of sleeves, is minimalistic, and is super affordable making it a stand-out best overall choice.
As a bonus, it also has RFID-blocking technology for those who are worried about their card chips giving away data.
“I buy this same one every couple of years for my husband. They hold up well – he doesn’t like a traditional folding-type wallet. This is nice and slim and fits all of the cards he needs.” – Amber, Hip Sidekick
2. Our Hip sidekick, Adam, hasn’t looked back since incorporating his wallet into his phone case.
If your guy doesn’t love the idea of carrying a wallet but still needs to carry the essentials, Adam’s favorite is likely his best option! It holds just an essentials – a license and one credit card or when used with one card it supports wireless charging.
