Magic Duct Tape Wallet on Roids
Hello.
Discovered this site a little while ago. I made a magic duct tape wallet about a week ago thanks to this great instructable duct tape magic wallet.
I liked it a lot, but still wanted a few more things so I constructed this beast of a wallet and decided to show others how I did it.
The wallet pictured holds: Driver's license, Credit/debit card, receipts, 512MB of flash memory, and also has a money clip.

Pictures
some extra photos.
I know that the magnets will not interfere with the flash memory so I'm safe there. Just be sure to keep the away from your computers hardrive and it should be fine.
One thing I'm not sure of though is if the magnets will mess up my credit cards. If they do, o well, I'm not too dependent on them. Just a heads up if you try something like this.

WHY?!
Why would I do this, besides boredom and insomnia?
Well, the magic wallet is cool, but not practical if you have more than 10 or so bills, and you can't add more than a few at a time. Thats the reason for the money clip. One the other hand, it works GREAT with receipts.
BUT WHY THE USB CARD?
Simple. The old wallet had no room for my baby pictures. Since I'm a guy, I rarely head to wal-mart or wherever to get my pictures developed. But I do have a ton of pics on my digital camera. Well now I have 512MB of pictures of my baby with me at all times.
Below is a screen shot of what it like when I plug in my wallet.
This is my first instructable so I'm sure there are mistakes. Thanks for looking.
