Keyring is the app I use for any cards that can be scanned and left at home. I do travel on business so leaving stuff behind, in the car, etc., doesn't work for me. Beyond that, the cards I take:
1 DL
5 carry permits
USCCA card
AAA card
2 Credit cards (primary & backup, and due to all the fraud stuff going around, the backup has been used more times than I care to recall!)
1 ATM card
1 Corporate credit card
Health Insurance/Vision/Dental (thin but the 3 of them together are about as thick as 1)
HSA Card
Commuter Debit Card
That's 15.
On top of that, cash, plus somewhat optional is 1 spare check, 1-2 business cards, gun range membership card, and soon to be passport card (thank you Real ID).
Basically 15-20.
I've been keeping an eye on this ROCO MINIMALIST Aluminum Slim Wallet RFID BLOCKING Money Clip - No.2 and may give it a shot.
Edit: Maybe not... Fakespot has a poor rating for it: https://www.fakespot.com/product/roc...oney-clip-no-2

Re: EDC Wallet with lots of cards
I go super minimal in the slimmest leather wallet I could find:
DL
LTCF
Medical card
2 debit cards
1 credit card
Cash is carried separately, the little bit I do carry..
Re: EDC Wallet with lots of cards
I bought a wallet off of spec-ops that was made out of nylon that fit the criteria accept rfid protection, so i bought some blocking sleeves and use those together to gain that protection.

Use this. It’s tall but holds the cards over each other so it makes it thinner thatn most if younhave a lot of stuff. Fits in all my pants back pockets. Never had a problem.

I can cut down to 17 cards (between work, travel, insurance cards, specialized debit cards, and too many CC permits for other states, it's not practical to get below this) so I've been searching for a 20-card "minimalist" wallet. There's a couple of choices I've found so far, but none of them really hit me as the right thing.
There's lots of options in the 12-card category, but that just won't work for me. I'm not disciplined enough to swap out needed cards every time I leave the house. ID, permits, bank, insurance, 2 credit and work cards add up to 14 just by themselves! (if only national reciprocity would pass, right??)
Anyone else have a bunch of cards they must carry, and what have you done for your wallet?
I'm sure someone will post that no one needs to carry that many; my situation requires a few extra cards that I don't need every day, but some of them (think insurance cards) although aren't needed daily, will remain with me at all times!
Anyone else solve this problem?
I've got the same problem. Every wallet I've purchased over the past several years seems to be made in some third world country and there is not even 1/16" of leather to spare anywhere. Once I squeeze all of the cards, licenses, etc in there, it is stuffed like an Alabama tick on a Coonhound, and the wallet self destructs in a few weeks. Let alone struggling to remove my DL when asked for ID.
The Rolfs wallet maybe looks good, if I can double up on cards in the slots. Also, there needs to be a place to conceal your LTCF since I hear more and more where some states LEO, if seeing it during a stop, will use it as a pretext to search. I'd rather any cards are completely out of view to the casual observer.
