Check out <a href="http://photojojo.com/store/awesomeness/iphone-lens-wallet/">Photojojo&#8217;s iPhone Lens Wallet</a>, which lets you carry them around easily enough, without cramping your style.</p>

It will even take an 8× telephoto lens in its side pocket, as well as a one of those lens-adapter case backs and a mini tripod.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you like to minimize the gear that you carry around in your pockets because bulky pockets can get annoying, you should check out the <a href="http://www.thecallet.com/">Callet</a>, which combines a smartphone case with a wallet. It&#8217;s a concept that I&#8217;ve seen before, but it&#8217;s always good to have some options.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-67484" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/091611_rg_Callet_01.jpg" alt="091611 rg Callet 01" width="600" height="514" title="091611 rg Callet 01 photo" /></p>
<p><span id="more-67483"></span>There&#8217;s enough space in the Callet to stash your phone, cash, credit cards, and a key. That&#8217;s usually all you need in your wallet. If yours is very thick and bulky, you might need to purge before you buy one of these, though.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-67485" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/091611_rg_Callet_02.jpg" alt="091611 rg Callet 02" width="600" height="479" title="091611 rg Callet 02 photo" /></p>
<p>It&#8217;s pretty convenient to have it all in a svelte little package. Although the design is pretty simple, there are <a href="http://technabob.com/blog/2011/09/12/elasty-iphone-case/">other types</a> of <a href="http://technabob.com/blog/2011/03/27/candyshell-iphone-credit-card-case/">cellphone wallets</a> out there if this doesn&#8217;t work for your style. Currently, the Callet works only with iPhones and BlackBerries, so no go if you have an Android. It sells for $19.95 at <a href="http://www.thecallet.com/">Callet</a> and comes in white, black, blue or pink.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It&#8217;s probably happened to you. You&#8217;re late and on the run to get to work in time. You forget to shave or just skipped it. This is where the <a href="http://www.infmetry.com/home-decor/bed-bath/carzor-card-shaped-razor-mirror">Carzor</a> comes in handy. No, you shouldn&#8217;t use it while you&#8217;re driving, but it still might come in handy in a pinch.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-63205" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/080511_rg_Carzor_01.jpg" alt="080511 rg Carzor 01" width="600" height="424" title="080511 rg Carzor 01 photo" /></p>
<p><span id="more-63204"></span>This travel razor comes with its own mirror and will fit in your wallet, since it folds flat like a credit card. The blades can be removed and stashed away (so they don&#8217;t cut up your money?) It doesn&#8217;t come with any shaving cream, but I suppose it will do in a bind.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-63207" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/080511_rg_Carzor_03.jpg" alt="080511 rg Carzor 03" width="600" height="425" title="080511 rg Carzor 03 photo" /></p>
<p>You can even select what scent you want for the little glide strip on the Carzor, choosing from mint, sandal(wood?), lemon, ocean or orange aromas. The Carzor sells for $17(USD) over at <a href="http://www.infmetry.com/home-decor/bed-bath/carzor-card-shaped-razor-mirror">Infmetry</a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I always liked the <a href="http://technabob.com/blog/2010/01/25/bookbook-laptop-sleeve/">BookBook MacBook case</a>, but the new iPhone case looks really nice as well. The neat thing about it is that it can double as a wallet (if you don&#8217;t need to carry around too much stuff). It&#8217;s hard to find anything that beats the aged book look.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-62547" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/072911_rg_BookBookiPhone_01.jpg" alt="072911 rg BookBookiPhone 01" width="600" height="338" title="072911 rg BookBookiPhone 01 photo" /></p>
<p><span id="more-62546"></span>Twelvesouth, the company that pegs itself not only Apple-friendly, but Apple <em>only</em>, makes this and I have to say that it looks pretty swanky. I like how it can carry around a 3 or 4 credit cards too, meaning that you&#8217;ll probably end up leaving your wallet at home. And if you have any concerns, the Twelvesouth guys assure us that they&#8217;ve performed rigorous testing, and putting your iPhone alongside your credit cards is perfectly safe, and will not erase them.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-62548" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/072911_rg_BookBookiPhone_02.jpg" alt="072911 rg BookBookiPhone 02" width="600" height="338" title="072911 rg BookBookiPhone 02 photo" /></p>
<p>The BookBook case is available exclusively for the iPhone 4, and is made from durable, distressed and stitched leather. It should be noted that there&#8217;s no opening for the camera lens though, and you&#8217;ll have to slide your iPhone up an inch or so when you want to snap a picture.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-62549" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/072911_rg_BookBookiPhone_03.jpg" alt="072911 rg BookBookiPhone 03" width="600" height="371" title="072911 rg BookBookiPhone 03 photo" /></p>
<p>The BookBook will cost you $59.99 (USD) which seems a bit much for an iPhone case. You can get it over at <a href="http://www.twelvesouth.com/products/bookbook_iphone/gallery/">Twelvesouth website</a>, along with a bunch of other stuff that looks pretty cool.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-62550" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/072911_rg_BookBookiPhone_04.jpg" alt="072911 rg BookBookiPhone 04" width="600" height="371" title="072911 rg BookBookiPhone 04 photo" /></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There was a time when I tried living without a wallet, and after losing a few important cards, I quickly reverted to carrying one again. This QWERTY leather wallet is certainly distinctive with its keyboard embossing and will serve all geeks well.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Assuming you like to carry a wad of cash in your pocket instead of a wallet, here&#8217;s a fun little invention that keeps your bills in order without looking like anything is there. The so-called &#8220;Invisible Money Clip&#8221; lets you organize your cash without a bulky wallet or money clip.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-53029" title="invisible_money_clip" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/invisible_money_clip.jpg" alt="invisible money clip" width="600" height="698" /></p>
<p><span id="more-53028"></span>The gadget is actually a special bendy sticker that adheres to the back of a bill of your choice. Once folded shut, it holds all your other bills in place. Use a $100 bill if you want people to think you&#8217;re a big spender &#8211; you can just fill in the middle with ones. Of course, whatever bill you use as the wrapper for your wad of cash will probably become irretrievable, so you might want to stick with a single for now. In case you don&#8217;t get the concept, here&#8217;s a silly video of a girl with a Snidely Whiplash mustache dancing to Franz Ferdinand that should set you straight:</p>
<p><a href="http://technabob.com/blog/2011/04/05/invisible-money-clip/"><strong>Click to View Embedded Video Clip</strong></a></p>
<p>See? Makes perfect sense now, right? The Invisible Money Clip is available from <a href="http://www.allcash.org/">ALL CA$H Money Clips</a> for $9.95 (USD) each, or get a pair for $14.95 in case you want to carry more than one stack of cash. ALL CA$H is careful to point out that price doesn&#8217;t include a dollar bill.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Sometimes convergence isn&#8217;t a good idea.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-46151  aligncenter" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/RuMe-Cuff1.jpg" alt="RuMe Cuff1" width="600" height="562" title="RuMe Cuff1 photo" /></p>
<p>You know those little cardboard things that go around your cup of coffee at Starbucks? They&#8217;re actually pretty ingenious if you think about it. I mean, not only do they function as a buffer between the hot cup and your hand, but they can be used as a form of advertisement. So the company has found a way to bring advertising to their customers, while providing something useful. That&#8217;s just plain smart. So why do I hate these <a href="http://www.delight.com/RuMe-CUFF" target="_blank">RuMe CUFF wallets</a> so much?</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-46152  aligncenter" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/RuMe-Cuff2.jpg" alt="RuMe Cuff2" width="600" height="297" title="RuMe Cuff2 photo" /></p>
<p>After all, they too serve dual purposes. They keep your hand from getting burned, and hold your money. Just because you can make something that does two things, doesn&#8217;t mean you should. First, do you really carry a cup of coffee with you so often that it could actually replace your wallet? Second, do you have so few things in your wallet that it&#8217;s going to fit nicely around a cup of Joe? Third, and I can&#8217;t stress this one enough, you will throw this away at some point. No matter how hard you try, eventually you&#8217;ll chuck your cup into the trash instinctively, while donating your funds to the city dump.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-46153  aligncenter" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/RuMe-Cuff3.jpg" alt="RuMe Cuff3" width="600" height="602" title="RuMe Cuff3 photo" /></p>
<p>There are probably a dozen other reason why this thing is a bad buy. Sure, it&#8217;s only $10. But then again, you already have a wallet, and you get one of those cardboard things for free with your coffee. The product page does mention that you can also use it as an armband as well. I still stand by my previous thoughts. Why waste time and money on this thing?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I found out the hard way in college that you could use your debit card to get money even if you are out of cash. Most banks will let you go over what you have in the account in an effort to &#8220;help you&#8221; and gather overdraft fees at the same time. A new wallet concept from geeks at MIT could help you keep your spending in order. The &#8220;Mother Bear&#8221; wallet tracks how much loot you have in the bank, and the closer you get to broke the harder it is to open.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-44536" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/fatwallet-tb.jpg" alt="fatwallet tb" width="600" height="399" title="fatwallet tb photo" /></p>
<p><span id="more-44535"></span></p>
<p>I wonder if it snaps closed on your fingers like a clam when you run out of money completely. These <a href="http://eco.media.mit.edu/static/proverbialwallets/index.html">Proverbial Wallet</a> concepts from the team of Henry Holtzman, John Kestner, Daniel Leithinger, Emily  Tow, Danny Bankman, Jaekyung Jung at MIT Media Lab actually come in three versions, including &#8220;Bumblebee&#8221; &#8211; that vibrates when your bank processes a transaction, and a &#8220;Peacock&#8221; one that expands and contracts based on your bank balance &#8211; puffing up like a peacock <em>&#8220;to attract potential mates.&#8221;</em></p>
<p><a href="http://technabob.com/blog/2010/12/07/proverbial-wallet-concepts-mit-media-lab/"><strong>Click to View Embedded Video Clip</strong></a></p>
<p>The hard to open design of the Mother Bear wallet can be mapped out to a monthly budget. This would be a great way to let kids know how much they have to spend. Hell, I wish I could remotely lock down my wife&#8217;s wallet once she spends too much.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>For many of us, LEGOs are just plain cool, or at least they were when we were kids. Now brickfans can add another item to their collection of blocky stuff with these cool LEGO wallets.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-27694" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/020310_rg_LEGOWallet_01.jpg" alt="020310 rg LEGOWallet 01" width="600" height="481" title="020310 rg LEGOWallet 01 photo" /></p>
<p>These LEGO wallets are pretty nifty, and the ones with the baseplates on the side can actually be customized with any bricks you care to attach.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-27712  aligncenter" title="lego_wallet_side_view" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/lego_wallet_side_view.jpg" alt="lego wallet side view" width="600" height="393" /></p>
<p>While I think these are fun, I don&#8217;t know how comfortable they are since they look pretty bulky and stiff. I&#8217;ve actually stopped carrying a wallet anyhow. I don&#8217;t like having them in pockets and leaving a wallet in a backpack seems like a bad idea.</p>
<p>LEGO wallets will set you back between £15 to £20 (appx. $24 to $32 USD)  depending on the style, and are available from <a href="http://www.colorbynumbers.bigcartel.com/">ColorByNumbers</a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>With a compass, a tweezer, a toothpick, a pen, a glass breaker, 2 hidden compartments <em>and</em> ample space for money, the TMT Tactical Wallet is ten times more useful than me.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-26706" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/tmt-wallet-1.jpg" alt="tmt wallet 1" width="600" height="417" title="tmt wallet 1 photo" /></p>
<p>Made by North Carolina-based <a href="http://www.tmtwallet.com/">Toner Machining Technologies</a>, this XXXXL cousin of Swiss army knives measures 4.0 x 3.57 x 1.150-inches and weighs a whopping 7 oz. when empty. It&#8217;s made of <em>&#8220;CNC machined solid billet 6061-T6 (tempered) hard coat anodized Aluminum&#8221;</em>. Trust me on this, I&#8217;m a blogger: the more words it takes to describe a material, the tougher it is.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-26707" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/tmt-wallet-7.jpg" alt="tmt wallet 7" width="600" height="470" title="tmt wallet 7 photo" /></p>
<p>The picture above shows the tweezer, the round, pointy glass breaker below it, and the toothpick. Below you see the pen, and the inside of the wallet. The Tactical Wallet is lined with O-ring seals <em>&#8220;to keep water, dirt and dust from entering the interior.&#8221;</em> TMT also claims that the Tactical Wallet provides the <em>&#8220;ultimate in credit card information protection by actually blocking your personal information from the theft of RFID type scanning devices.&#8221;</em></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-26708" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/tmt-wallet-6.jpg" alt="tmt wallet 6" width="600" height="418" title="tmt wallet 6 photo" /></p>
<p>But what if there&#8217;s a nuclear bomb explosion? No problem! Just hide in the Tactical Wallet and it will protect and sustain you for up to a thousand years! Need a weapon? It&#8217;s got you covered! The Tactical Wallet is also a nuclear bomb! Need a friend? The Tactical Wallet has a great sense of humor, and is very sociable! None of those statements are true, of course. I think.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-26709" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/tmt-wallet-8.jpg" alt="tmt wallet 8" width="600" height="470" title="tmt wallet 8 photo" /></p>
<p>The TMT Tactical Wallet sells for $125 (USD). Interested parties can call 828-432-8007 for more information; call the same number if you want to order via credit card. You can also send a check or money order to: Toner Machining Technologies  PO Box 2876 Morganton, NC 28680. I bet MacGyver has a Tactical Wallet. Or not. He&#8217;d probably make one from scrap if he needed to.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The old man in the beginning of <em>The Legend of Zelda</em> has got to be one of the most helpful dudes in video game history. He doesn&#8217;t say anything cryptic. He doesn&#8217;t require you to fetch anything. He just hands you a sword and offers a mild warning. Who better to have around if you&#8217;re going to take the risk of smoking?</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-22676" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/tb-cig-case.jpg" alt="tb cig case" width="600" height="396" title="tb cig case photo" /></p>
<p>Of course, if you&#8217;re not a smoker, you can still take the old man along with you; he doubles, in this incarnation, as a card case or a very thin wallet. See, not only is he helpful, he&#8217;s also <em>useful</em>.</p>
<p>Best of all? He&#8217;s pretty cheap. You can get your hands on this versatile case for <a href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=34018027&amp;ref=sr_list_11&amp;&amp;ga_search_query=nintendo&amp;ga_search_type=all&amp;ga_page=&amp;order=&amp;includes[]=tags_exact">a mere $15</a>. It&#8217;ll go really well with all those <a href="http://technabob.com/blog/2009/11/03/namco-zippo-arcade-game-lighters/">nifty lighters</a> we&#8217;ve seen of late.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Etsy seller Nilesz urges us to recycle and to reminisce about the great 80s with his Atari cartridge wallets. They&#8217;re made from real games, and Nilesz says that &#8220;the only piece of the original game not used in the wallet design is the screw.&#8221; So yes, this is quite an improvement over the Atari-themed <a href="http://technabob.com/blog/2009/02/24/atari-duct-tape-wallet-because-no-ones-going-to-buy-an-atari-leather-wallet/">duct tape</a> wallet.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-14898 aligncenter" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/atari-wallet-1.jpg" alt="atari wallet 1" width="520" height="418" title="atari wallet 1 photo" /></p>
<p>Nilesz even made a video to promote his wallets:</p>

<p>Strangely enough, there are no Pac-Man wallets in Nilesz&#8217; current lineup. I guess they&#8217;re sold out?</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-14901 aligncenter" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/atari-wallet-2.jpg" alt="atari wallet 2" width="520" height="366" title="atari wallet 2 photo" /></p>
<p>The wallets sell for $40 &#8211; $80 USD; I guess the price is determined by the rarity/popularity of a game. Check them out at Nilesz&#8217; <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=7424962">Etsy shop</a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In the market for an adorable and unique bag? Etsy is fast becoming the go-to marketplace for unusual custom items. I mean, where else could you find a handmade bag that&#8217;s so geeky you can fake-type on it in moments of boredom?</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-12354" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/tb-keybrdwalbagets.jpg" alt="tb keybrdwalbagets" width="520" height="407" title="tb keybrdwalbagets photo" /></p>
<p>Etsy&#8217;s packed with bags made with the most adorable fabric ever, but this is really one of the cooler examples I&#8217;ve seen. This particular bag, from the capow shopfront, measures 7.5&#8243; x 4.25&#8243; and makes a good clutch or large wallet. The capow shop has some other geek-friendly bags, too, like this casette tape clutch (for the retro music lover in your life):</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-12356" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/tb-castpbget.jpg" alt="tb castpbget" width="520" height="430" title="tb castpbget photo" /></p>
<p>These and other capow bags are priced between $12 and $20, plus shipping.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When was the last time you had money? 1983? Then this wallet is just the thing for you!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-9489 aligncenter" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/atari-wallet-1.jpg" alt="atari wallet 1" width="520" height="391" title="atari wallet 1 photo" /></p>
<p>Aside from placing a buck or two inside this wallet, you might also want to add your expired driver&#8217;s license or a picture of your ex. So if you ever get mugged you can easily part with this wallet, knowing that everything in it &#8211; even the design &#8211; is so retro. Yesterday&#8217;s news. Gone. Your heart will go on.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-9524" title="atari_duct_tape_wallet" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/atari_duct_tape_wallet.jpg" alt="atari duct tape wallet" width="520" height="393" /></p>
<p>You do have to shell out $20 for this wallet though, so I guess if you really have no money then you wouldn&#8217;t be able to buy this over at <a href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?ref=sr_gallery_18&amp;listing_id=18013659&amp;ga_search_query=video+games+gadgets&amp;ga_search_type=tag_title_description">jDUCT&#8217;s etsy page</a>. Such a shame, because these duct tape wallets are made with the utmost craftsmanship. According to jDUCT, &#8220;each seam is reinforced to eliminate sticky stuff associated with other duct tape wallets.&#8221; See? This one doesn&#8217;t have all that sticky stuff. Can&#8217;t get more professional than that.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Perfect for those of you who like a little geek with your chic (or is that the other way around?), this quirky QWERTY keyboard design wallet helps you keep all your personal items in order.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-2322" title="qwerty_wallet_vert" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/05/qwerty_wallet_vert.jpg" alt="qwerty wallet vert" width="520" height="721" /></p>
<p>The wallet offers plentiful storage for credit cards, cash, spare change and even a checkbook, but no matter how hard you press on the keys, it still won&#8217;t control your computer (although it really should.)</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-2321" title="qwerty_wallet" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/05/qwerty_wallet.jpg" alt="qwerty wallet" width="520" height="308" /></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Designed by California indie crafter QuietDoing, the QWERTY pocketbook [$44] is covered with a bold black and white keyboard fabric, coated in clear vinyl (for added durability), and lined with a lime-green and navy-blue vinyl interior.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-2323" title="qwerty_wallet_int" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/05/qwerty_wallet_int.jpg" alt="qwerty wallet int" width="520" height="563" /></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Guys, don&#8217;t despair. The QWERTY wallet isn&#8217;t just for the ladies. There&#8217;s also a bi-fold men&#8217;s version available too [$28].</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-2324" title="qwerty_wallet_mens" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/05/qwerty_wallet_mens.jpg" alt="qwerty wallet mens" width="520" height="213" /></p>
<p>You can find QWERTY wallets and plenty other clever accessories (I especially like this <a href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=11861033">funky turntablist wallet</a>) over in <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=79669">QuietDoing&#8217;s Etsy shop</a>.</p>
