Interesting idea - I have a couple of questions:

How many cards fit in the folder?
If the holder takes (lets say) 3 cards, and you remove one, are the other two held firmly or can they just drop out?

I like the idea, because I don't like carrying cards loose (due to damage to the mag strips - my bank expects me get 3! years use out of a Visa or MC), but in especially summer it's a pain carrying a wallet. I'm just not sure how securely the card(s) would be held.

Here's an idea though - you could add a sticking-out tab with a rivet through it to act as an eye for a lanyard, keyring, etc.

Cheers,
Mark

Could you put a lanyard hole in the credit card?

Nico - scratches... :)

You're relying on the Kydex gripping the face of the card, rather than any mechanical lock.

hi guys

tanks for the comments

the last first... I have had a creditcard holder in aluminium for a long time and that has not made any scathes of importend on my CC. so I don't think it's a big problem.

about the lanyard/eyelet for a line or so. I think that is an option. I have to think of the design and will be back with pics when I have made one

I have only made this for 1 CC. I don't think it's gonna work with more, But I will try to make one and see how it works.

If you want it to hold more than one card, make it folded like a concertina?
