Semi-sorta OT, but since the idea came from here, I thought I'd report back in case any one else can use the info:
Sometime in the last week or so on one of the BorsaBella threads, someone brought up trying to fit most of your daily gear into the BB Travel Bag or the Vera Hipster--bags that are designed to be relatively small & flat. By the time you put a Kindle in the main pocket, you're already running out of room for essentials.
In that thread, one fine lady here brought up some fabulous slim & trim wallets. Gorgeous, but way more than I wanted to spend (given how much else I've been buying), so I started doing some hunting and found what for me is the perfect solution:
Flat Frame Pocket Wallet
I did a lot of searching, starting on Amazon, to find what I wanted. Not too expensive. Not too big. Not too thick. In digging, I found the most options using keywords like "flat" "hinged" or "opera" along with wallet. Limiting to women's accessories, in my case, also helped. Ran down to Target locally as they had quite a selection, but all of theirs were the larger checkbook size, a little too tall to fit into the front pocket of a BB Travel Bag.
Finally, on ebay, I found what I wanted, a mere 4" x 4". Barely holds a damn thing--license/insurance, a couple of credit cards, a few bills and a tiny number of coins if needed. But because I can't overstuff it, it lays beautifully flat in the pocket and carries virtually everything I need. If I'd just move all my Starbucks GC balances onto one card, I'd be set! LOL
The ebay shipper I used doesn't have this specific wallet anymore, which is a bummer. They were super fast, and the wallet is exactly as ordered. For those of you who want to be able to carry a minimum of stuff along with your Kindle, this may be a helpful option.
Now if we could talk Oberon into making them........
