I'll see how this front pocket wallet suits my needs...

I've been trying for a while to see if I can actually switch from my 50 year practice of carrying a very large leather wallet with a back pocket to one that allows me to carry what I need but in the front pocket switch. Several attempts have been made to use very small front pocket products that hold a few cards and/or ID cards on either the front or back of the wallet, plus perhaps 6-8 additional cards bundled in a center elastic pocket. Straps to facilitate access to this deck with additional cards. The problem I have is that these wallets tend to be so full that it becomes very difficult to get anything out of a small wallet. Consequently, I'm forced to try and uncarry a subset of those desired cards in order to make my remaining cards more accessible. As a result, I return to my worn-out full-size monster in my back pocket every time. Now finally my last try with my new Brass Tacks purse with zippered front pocket. This size and shape seems to have advantages over typical front pocket offerings, as I was able to move every single item from my secure but large wallet into the back pocket. I no longer drive a car when I'm sitting on the ubiquitous bump. The first thing I noticed and liked about the Brass Tacks wallet is the transparent pocket with an ID window on one side. This special windowed ID pocket only covers about 4/5ths of a standard ID, leaving the remaining 5th protruding far enough to make it easier to get ID if needed. I also keep my most used credit card if the gas station or EFT/PinPad register doesn't accept Apple Pay or similar electronic payments. Now all your other cards as well as bills, patches and a blank check are placed in the large center section of this zipped wallet. The individual card slots fold like an accordion, where there are nine regular sized card slots and two large storage slots, one on each side of the center nine slots. These two large areas are perfect for storing your dollar bills and maybe some of those little loyalty cards you can hang on your keychain. Some users have a car key at this point. I conveniently carry this new zippered wallet in one front pocket while the other front pocket holds my phone. In terms of height and width, this "Brass Tacks" zippered wallet is basically identical to all other front pocket options, but the thickness of this wallet when fully loaded with cards and "stuff" in all compartments
