"Say hello to by far the nerdiest wallet I've ever had the pleasure to set my eyes on. Made for clearly Pokémon lovers, this wallet takes inspiration from one of the most crucial gadgets in the Pokémon universe - the PokéDex. Designed to look almost identical to the flip-based device used to identify the Pokémon you see around you, this wallet comes from the mind of Jalonisdead, with slots to hold (and display) your Pokémon cards along with your banknotes."
"The wallet comes in a bifold format in that unmistakeable red finish, with a design to match the PokéDex perfectly. When shut, it looks like a red PokéDex waiting to be opened. Flip the lid open and you're greeted with a card window on the left that you can use to store the card of your choice. The window lines up perfectly with the card's graphic, making it look like you've 'spotted' that Pokémon."
"There's space for multiple cards, although the one front-and-center is clearly for a Pokémon card. Two other slots on the right side can be used for payment and I'd cards too - this is a wallet after all. A slot on the top holds banknotes, although I wish there were place for coins too. The unusual shape lends itself perfectly to wallet use, and I'm surprised nobody at Nintendo thought of cashing in on this idea."
The wallet mimics the flip-style red Pokédex with faux graphics and a bifold form. The left interior features a transparent card window that aligns with a Pokémon card's artwork to create a 'spotted' display. The right side contains two additional card slots for payment and ID cards, and a top pocket stores banknotes; no dedicated coin compartment is provided. Each wallet is made-to-order by the designer Jalonisdead, likely handmade, and ships in Pokémon card-style packaging with four mint-condition Pokémon cards. Price is around $56 USD and production can take up to two months.
