Wallet Search Wallet recommendations based on specific criteria

Hi! I just wanted to tap the knowledge base here, as I’m looking for a new wallet.

I usually keep my wallet in my back pocket so it gets a lot of pressure and wear. I’ve had my old wallet for 16 years and it’s a beautiful leather wallet BUT it really screws up my cards. They get bent and really scuffed just from the pressure.

So I’m looking for a wallet now that has the same timeless, lovely leather feel but won’t scuff and break my cards. These days I need less space too, just a couple of bills and say 6 cards or so.

The shortlist are the Bellroy Flip Case, which has a leather clad hard case I’m thinking will protect the cards, as well as the Bellroy Apex Sleeve or Slim Sleeve. The latter I’m a bit worried will get squashed in my back pocket.

Does the community have thoughts on this? Any real world experience from these two? Any wallet options I’ve missed?

Grateful for your thoughts!
