The duct tape wallet has officially been replaced as the geekest wallet you can make yourself. Although, I must say, it’s probably a whole lot more comfortable to carry around in your back pocket then two hard drive platters.

“I took apart a dead hard drive that I had dumpster dived last year initially for the magnets, but I could not take my eyes off of the platters. The magnet would just be trouble with my ATM card magnetic strips as well as sticking to everything else around. Using a rivet gun I was able to quickly adhere two car keys and my AAA card to the platters.”
