DoshWallet.jpgBlueSky Design Group’s Dosh wallet takes advantage of flexible and semi-flexible polymers so that it’s not only tough and bendable, but waterproof to boot. You’ve got the usual space for credit cards and bills, an area for coins and a compartment that can hold keys and SIM cards. It runs on the large side and is missing the display area we’re used to for a photo ID. Don’t like that safety vest orange? You’ve got a few colors to choose from.DoshWalletColors.jpgThe Dosh comes in orange, white, charcoal and chocolate, and sells for around 40 bucks. [Dosh via Popgadget]

    Its Not waterproof as such, Just the material is waterproof.

    It doesn’t say anywhere on the site that the whole wallet is waterproof, just specifies the material is waterproof.

    Yeah… at least our money is waterproof to match. I’ve had a pineapple go through the wash once — I don’t think any US currency would come out the other end and still be usable!

    The way the coin purse was designed, all the coins will fall out when opening it.

    Well, speaking from firsthand experience (I’m unlucky enough to have bought the ‘charcoal’ coloured one) the waterproof spiel is just for marketing. Drop it in a pool, & I guarantee any paper in this wallet will end up as pulp. Sure, the wallet is waterproof, but it sure aint watertight..
    Also, its HUGE!! I cant get the damned thing in & out of my pocket quick enough when making purchases. Which does get old fast. And where do I put my spare change in this thing? Surely not in that 3mm thick, flimsy “compartment” on the inside front?? That is NOT a compartment! If I have $10 in spare change, I’m not gonna take the time to lay each piece flat in there, so the “compartment” lid will snap shut.. Give me a break. And there’s no clear ID window. So I need to fumble with this thing, every time I need to flash my ID tag at work. Come on Dosh. Even I can design & make a more functional wallet with some duct tape & spare time.. This turkey cost me $50 and it gets a 1 out of 10 from me. Feels rather cheap, & its already coming to pieces after a month’s use, I might add..

    For surfing I use an OverBoard waterproof case as my wallet and it is 100% waterproof to depths of 6m. It folds easily and I put my cash, credit card and car key in it. Beats leaving your cash on the beach or under the car and wroks a treat. Cost me $29.95
