I use an Amazona Mini as both my wallet and diary. The rear pocket for notes is brilliant. I keep my two main cards in the slip pockets and loyalty cards behind those. I have two years of diaries so I can plan ahead plus a year planner as soon as it is available for the third year.

Now you have a little bag that fits on the rings. Now, has anyone successfully used a Pocket size as a wallet--they're not *that* much bigger than a Mini, but they look like they might be too big to fit in one's trouser pockets.

I'm in the US, and our paper sizes are just weird. However, I LOVE my mini as a wallet.

I tried having it "all in one place" planner and wallet, but it just didn't work for me. During checkout at the market or going for a quick run to the coffee shop, lugging out a planner just to pay for something didn't work for me. I love using a Compact size Filofax as a wallet. This has worked for me tremendously.
