    Wallet/bag rec?

    I currently carry my license, credit cards, a few bucks and a car key fob in a small mesh zippered bag, about 3x4. It fits nicely in my bento bag, saddle bag or jersey pocket on the bike, and then I just throw it in my purse afterwards. The bag is starting to fray a bit, so I am trying to replace it, but can't find anything similar. It's similar to a change purse. Anyone use anything similar? I like the mesh because i can see the key fob buttons through the bag, so I don't have to pull the key out to use it. Looking for either a mesh bag, or lightweight nylon.
    Any suggestions? Other than a small ziploc bag

    Half the time I use a ziplock... I also have a cell phone flip case that has enough slots for a DL, CC, and a little bit of cash. It's fat enough I don't worry about it bouncing out of my pocket.

    I have a wallet that fits in my jersey pocket. So, no having to take out license, money, etc. Phone goes in jersey pocket, too. If I have to carry my key for my car, that goes in the zippered pocket in my seat bag. It's just a regular leather wallet that is thin.

    I carry about the same amount of stuff and use the Marsupial wallet from Chums.

    Pax, I was looking at the Chums.....do you think a key fob would fit in there with a few cards? Not sure if it is wide enough? Where did you get yours? I can order on line, but would like to check it out in person if possible.
    Rebecca, good idea, I like Etsy too, and didn't think to look on there.

    Know a photographer?

    I keep my cash in an old lens filter wallet of DH's ... there'd easily be room for the things you mention.

    Running and cycling, since I need to protect my phone from sweat, I keep it in a heavy (4-mil) 4x6 ziploc bag, and all the paperwork and a few bucks go in there too. I don't normally keep my car key in the bag, but there's room for it on the occasions when I drive to run.

    It's very thin so not sure if the fob could be zipped inside. I ordered mine online but know some Gander Mountain stores carry them, up by the checkout.
