I used to keep my metrocard in the wallet, but just tucked in there, not in any compartment. It was easy to extricate the card without even removing the wallet from my pocket. Have to be careful not to let the card slip out when you actually use your wallet, but I didn't do that much either. My cash is outside my wallet, same pocket. My dad taught me that, always have some cash you can throw to a mugger, never pull out your wallet. While he's picking up the dough, you're running the other way! I have a three-fold wallet.

The clip has a magnetic claspe to keep it in place. I think you are onto something though. I don't know if you read about the time the magnet got attached the underside of a cookie sheet and ended up lost in the oven for 5 days. But no matter the type of wallet, do you really want to be whipping it out on the subway platform just to secure your card?

Sounds like some super hero gadget. And more to the point, perhaps you might consider getting a normal wallet, like the rest of us schlubs have?
