BlueSky 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.
The Dosh comes in orange, white, charcoal and chocolate, and sells for around 40 bucks. [Dosh via Popgadget]

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

Tuesday, December 4, 2007 at 4:06 PMWell, 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..

Tuesday, September 21, 2010 at 11:38 AMFor 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
