Like Rushfaster, Bellroy is another Australian company, this one located in Glen's hometown of Melbourne. Bellroy's mission is "trying to improve the way we carry," starting with the wallet, an object whose design "has existed in a deep freeze for the last generation or two."
One of Bellroy's five solutions is the Slim Sleeve Wallet, which provides quick-draw access for your two most commonly used cards, then provides a pull-tab to access the less frequently used cards you stuff on the inside. As shown in the video (after the jump) there's also a slot to hold some kind of funny little play money, I'll ask Glen what those are when he gets back to the office.
Check out the rest of Bellroy's lineup here.

Check out the URL for really thin wallets. I've got a couple of them and love them. I wouldn't use any others.
Love the sleek and minimal look but still looks like a well designed functioning wallet
Regarding the "play money":

Play money? It's Aussie money man. Hahahaha! I ditched my wallet 4 years back and use tin a card holder. If I'm hauling around a lot of bills I bring a magnetic money clip. I'll never return to a wallet again.
I use a Dalvey leather card holder and money clip. Mine's looking the worse for wear after 8 years of use and abuse but it holds 10 cards (it's designed for 8 but stretches...) and some notes in a tiny, slimline package.
