Claim:
1. An abbreviated wallet device, the device comprising: a foldable element comprising an interior surface and an exterior surface with a first half comprising a proximal end and a distal end and a second half comprising a proximal end and a distal end; a lock tab coupled to the interior surface of the second half of the foldable element, wherein the lock tab is disposed generally parallel to the second half of the foldable element; a hinge coupling the proximal end of the first half to the proximal end of the second half, wherein the hinge is configured to allow the distal end of the first half to pivot relative to the distal end of the second half; and a band slidably coupled to the first half of the foldable element, wherein the band is movable between a first position proximate to the hinge and a second position proximate to the distal end of the first half, the band configured to be slidably engaged to the lock tab when the band is in the second position thereby preventing the band from sliding past the distal end of the second half of the foldable element.
