    I'm surprised a device that's pretty elegant all around would have a clunky ol' knob on it.

    Believe it or not (I know English is weird with all of its silent letters) but Knob is spelled with a ... well, you know ... a K.

    @exoren22: Believe it or not: Up until about a year ago, I would pronounce the "w" in "sword." It's been over ten years since I started learning the language and it still trips me up at times.

    Nob has been given its K back though. :) #onecardelectroniccard

    Everything in the UK is chip and pin nowadays so having just the strip isn't that good. Not to mention how it wouldn't work in ATMs.

    No as already posted the Japanese have the right idea. The futures in NFID chips in stuff like phones. #onecardelectroniccard

    @Odin: In Norway many businesses have stopped accepting cards without chips altogether, because of security reasons (card skimmer, etc). So this thing wouldn't work at all. #onecardelectroniccard

    The Japanese would look at this, roll their eyes, and go back to making purchases with their cell phones like they have been doing for the past half decade.

    Nice try though. #onecardelectroniccard

    You know this would be perfect not for credit cards/ID but rather for NFC cards (e.g. Oyster card). No need to ever remove them, just wave your phone when you want to get past the barriers.

    @Odin: Yeah, just what I was thinking - the kind of card that you just wave in front of a device and it grants access, I have one to get into our offices that I never remove from my wallet, so I know that it'd work in the sleeve...but I'd worry about random interference issues (yes, I'm a bad geek, I don't actually know how the card that I use everyday works...). I do know that you can't carry two of those cards together (or at least when I had two, I couldn't - the signals would cancel each other out, had to pull them out of my wallet & away from each other to make them work).

    @Lupus_Yonderboy: Most likely it has an RFID chip. A reader sends out a signal that is used to power the chip. Once powered the chip sends back a burst of information.

    This sounds like a thieves dream.

    Thief 1: Do you see that awesome iphone that guy has? I think I am going to take it.

    Thief 2: yeah I will distract him while you take it.

    Thief 1: Whoa, jackpot. Credit Cards and an iphone. Today is my lucky day!

    @chasper14:
    Thing is though carrying everything in one has it's advantages too. The pro's of splitting your valuables up means that if one's gone you haven't lost everything. The bad thing is though is it means you have more to keep track of and thieves can quite easily pick something off.

    Having it all in one means that while you do lose everything if it gets nicked you also only have to keep track of one thing. Plus you can keep it somewhere secure on your person quite easily.

    even though it says you cant get it personalized, I was able to get it engraved at a store like where they sell engraved flasks.

    @kebbin: I think what they mean is that they (the company making/selling these) don't personalize them rather than it being impossible to personalize. Everything is personizable but not everything is sold with the option to at purchase.

    I would add a giant negative: it doesn't protect the screen and precludes you from using another case that does. The screen is the part that breaks.

    @GrossGreg: I knew someone was going to bring up that damn film. I don't trust it half as much as the Incase Slider case which, after owning several cases, is clearly the best. Both slim and protects the screen.

    @Davy Grolton: There is a raised ridge around the edge so if your phone falls on a flat surface, it won't land one the screen and crack. Nothing protects against a poke to the middle of the screen except a clear plastic enclosure.

    I just got mine in the mail today, and so far I love it. I was able to squeeze three cards into it - my id, my credit card and my health insurance card.

    I'm not really worried about loosing it since I keep it in my front pocket, and have kept my phone, small card holder, cash, plus car keys in my front pockets for years without an issue. Its a risk I take, but I would be taking the same risk if I kept it all in my purse and it was stolen from me. Maybe the gents have more to worry about since they're not used to carrying everything in one place.
