I just received a really neat wallet/PDA case that has room for a 3x5 notebook or Circa PDA, too.

My review with pictures here, and the place I ordered it from is here. (I'm not affiliated with eBags.com, I just like shopping there.)

I do love getting new toys... :)

The plan

christian467 — Wed, 11 Jul 2007 04:29:26 -0400

I'm working towards this. My new project photo frame/PAA is working nicely but, once or twice, I have left it in my jacket and gone to meetings DOH!

I figure putting my single debit card and D Lic in it will "force" me to carry it everywhere thus making the whole plan work.

My Newton behind in so many places--shopping buggies, store shelves and counters, churches, homes, home (top of my car--once--oh, and my beautiful $60 DayTimer folio too!) that I long ago learned to not put all your eggs in one basket. I will put a bit of mad money into my planner, and some things, but never credit cards and other things you don't want people to get their filthy mits on. I _do_ however, make sure I have my name, phone numbers address and email--and I've had my items returned to me most of the time--or else somebody held on to it for me. (Usually, I remember only seconds later, and it was still there). But it's not worth taking the chances to me. In fact, right now, my "goodies" are split between my normal wallet and a ductster. :-)

I used to keep my wallet stuff

emoore — Tue, 10 Jul 2007 18:10:36 -0400

(money, credit cards, checkbook) in my Daytimer Classic sized zip-around planner. It also held my pda which was handy since I use Pocket Quicken and could enter purchases every time I made one. The drawback was carrying my planner everywhere. It was classic sized and there are many times when I just want to carry a small purse without the bulk and weight of my planner. Pulling the wallet stuff out when I wanted to carry a smaller purse and putting it back in when I was carrying the planner was just inconvenient for me. I also felt like I was somewhat exposed when I pulled out my planner to take notes and my wallet stuff was all right there. Yes, I could have hidden it away in the back somewhere so it was less obvious but then it made not taking more difficult because it made the paper on top lumpy.

Yep!

Mine are combined. I have a very large wallet (the kind that will hold a checkbook, etc.) with a pair of small handles. (It also has a removable shoulder strap so I could carry it like a purse if I chose to, but I don't.) It has two zipper sections. One has my Day-Timer in it, as well as credit cards and ID. The other has cash, receipts, etc. I love it, because I can't forget my Day-Timer!

Be blessed!

Good point! And somehow I don't think the monogram is much of a deterrent... ;)

Maybe I need a PacSafe bag to keep my stuff in...

Yes!

That's it! (sorry for being lazy and not posting the link).

I use the Buxton 3X5 Notetaker as my wallet

armchair — Sun, 13 May 2007 17:35:55 -0400

I just recently tossed my wallet for the Buston 3X5 Notetaker as my wallet. It has a hidden pocket where I stash my ID and cards. That way no one can see them when I am taking notes on the index cards. I always had a notepad in my pants pockets so having one wallet saves space. I'm a male and the notetaker fits just fine in most of my pants rear pocket.

Ex Officio nylon zip pouch

My current "wallet" is a little nylon zip pouch from Ex Officio

Like this ?

not for the money

LisaPT — Sat, 12 May 2007 22:03:25 -0400

I don't think you need to worry about anyone here stealing your money. Now, the zip pouch, the Pocket Briefcase, and the Circa would all be in danger. Any thieves among us would take the containers and leave the money behind (unless we were near a Levenger store -- and then we'd need a lot more than a few fives).

My current "wallet" is a

My current "wallet" is a little nylon zip pouch from Ex Officio that has a short lanyard and is designed to clip into the pocket of some of their pants, so you don't lose the pouch when travelling. I don't really use it this way, but as an alternative to my regular fat "Costanza" wallet that I think was contributing to my lower back trouble.

I do, however, keep an emergency $5 bill in my Levenger Shirt Pocket Briefcase (mine is the ballistic nylon version), and I'm thinking about stashing a fiver in my Circa just in case too.

Great, now I've just set myself up as a target for thievery if there's ever a DIY meetup!

Levenger has a wallet writer

gmerwin — Fri, 11 May 2007 21:41:14 -0400

Levenger has a wallet writer in versions for men and women:

For men

For women

They hold wallet sized notecards, and come with 50 of them. You can get 300 for $18. I'm thinking of getting the women's wallet writer. I need a new wallet, and there are times I go out but don't want to carry any more than my wallet, but still need a pen and paper for notes. The wallet cards are 2" by 3.5" ruled on one side, gridded on the other. Great potential for a miniHPDA.

I'd love an update, too.

I'd love an update, too. After seeing a photo of a hipster in the Levenger International Pocket Briefcase, it's all I can think about spending my $15 off $75 coupon on. Would love to see pics, too.

update?

Just curious how keeping your hipster and wallet together are working out for you. After a couple days of debating with myself I succombed to my rapidly increasing organization addiction and bought the Covey task wallet today (ignoring the fact that I was perfectly happy with my buxton jotter *sigh*). I'm really hoping this works out because I really like the idea of only carrying one little package.

Any tips on making it work? Pitfalls?

Just kind of a poll,
1. DO you have your wallet and planner //or hipster// combined?
and
2. What are the advantages/disadvatnages of such?

I was thinking of combining my hipster and wallet and I'm just looking for tips/opinions
