The Buffway Slim Minimalist Wallet is Amazon's No. 2 top-selling men's wallet , and it can currently be had for just $16—a 20% discount on its normal $20 price tag. These wallets are not what many modern styles are—expensive, overbuilt, and flashy—what they are is well-constructed, cleverly designed, and properly functional. Just ask the 81,000-plus Amazon shoppers who left it a five-star rating, including those who called it a " minimalist must-have " and the " perfect wallet ," among other superlatives.

The thing that makes this wallet so special is that it can store up to eight cards in a 1.05-ounce package that's not much thicker than the cards it can hold. The combination of capability and portability makes this the Platonic ideal of wallets for anyone who isn't doing George Costanza cosplay. On one side, there's a clear window for quick ID access, while on the other, there's a special slot with a finger hole that makes popping out your most-used card effortless. Between the two, there's space for cash, more plastic, and the half-finished punch cards from the coffee shop down the block.

A wallet is a highly functional, highly personal item, so it's noteworthy that thousands of shoppers have agreed that this one is fantastic. One satisfied customer said, "The stitching and overall craftsmanship are very good, in fact, much better than my last two name-brand wallets." And, in addition to fitting a ton of cards in a small package, "the various slots are properly sized so that cards can be slipped out moderately easily." Overall, they said that "this wallet exceeds all claims made and much more."
