I just received an email from the Big Skinny wallet folks. They're blowing out their Sport Wallet for just $10 (regular $19.95). Shipping is only $1.95 for First Class. If you're looking for a wallet that stays thin even when it's fairly jammed with stuff, this might work for you. I am on my second one now (just wanted a different color) and they really are comfortable. Style is in the eye of the beholder, but I'm pretty fussy and I'm okay with it. The thin size makes up for any styling deficiencies.
Anyway, the sale is limited to the Sport Wallet and only in Desert Khaki, Cherry Red, Tuxedo Black, Cocktail Red and Navy Blue. Here's your link.
P.S. Don't freak out when it arrives. It ships is a regular envelope, which showns you how thin it is when it's empty.
I have owned a super skinny for about 5-6 months. My impressions:
Never reduce the number of cards in a pocket, or you risk losing your cards (the wallet with stretch to accommodate the stack, and then be loose, like an old...um, family site, right!). It has held up well and all the stitching and material is still in good shape. The net thickness is substantially less than my old standard billfold with stacked CCs.

Isn't is a contradiction in terms to post this product on this website?
I love my skinny wallet and would never go back after having it. However, if you do like to keep a bunch of cards on you, this is not for you. I try to only keep 5 cards on me and keep the rest in my car (all the junk Grocery store saver, blockbuster, and other junk cards you need to have).

Just replace my 3 year old red Big Skinny sport wallet with a brown leather Big Skinny. Decided I wanted a black sports one. In for one! Thanks OP. Awesome price
I have had an All-ett which is another skinny wallet. A skinny wallet is really nice to have. It still holds everything that I need yet is about half the thickness. I won't get a regular wallet again.

I agree, I will not go back to my Costanza wallet ways again.

Thanks for the greens, folks. Just my luck there isn't some freebie promotion running for posting a deal here. Oh well, enjoy your wallets. I'm one of those who will never go back to a conventional wallet now. I grabbed a Tuxedo Black before I posted here.
Got one of these last summer, love it. It's holding up well.

Just checked and I have 25 cards in my wallet, plus 7 other stamp type paper cards, plus cash and 1 weeks worth of receipts in my current wallet. Looks like this is a no-go for me.

Go to Amazon.com and see some pics their - one of them shows the money pocket.
This may be thin, but it's not slim. For guy who have not converted to front pocket wallets, you should seriously consider. I have a Koyono slimmy and carry a Visa, a AMEX, and an ATM card, plus my license. There is 2-3 other thin pieces of paper, that's it. You could fold up a couple of bills and stuff it in, if needed. Keeping my wallet thin and slim has been awesome - less chance of theft, less chance of loss (never have to set it down anywhere), and its far more comfortable, especially while driving. The wallet in this thread, though thin, is just too wide.

I've taken to putting those one of those little silver Tiffany's circular key rings (that has the little screw off balls on the ends) seperate from my keys. Definately gets rid of junk in my wallet! I think everyone can appreciate a lighter wallet, as long as the weight loss isn't due to lost cash!
I have been trying to find a quality thin wallet. Does anyone know how this wallet stacks up against the Mighty wallet from Dynomighty design? It looks like the Mighty wallet won't permanently stretch like the Big Skinny wallet.
