The Ultimate Notebook Wallet
Designed in collaboration with Maxlvledc, the Sidekick is a durable, pocket-friendly notebook wallet built with waxed canvas, pen loop and versatile storage for notebooks, cards, cash, and a pen. See how it stands out!
My goal was to have less screen time on my phone typing up notes, and this Sidekick helps tremendously. The ability to access a notepad and pen as easily as pulling out your phone makes the Sidekick so appealing for taking notes.

Because it is a light-woven canvas, it won't slip out of my pocket like leather wallets. It has room for all my credit cards, money, and other ID cards, and it is still the thinnest wallet I own.

The sidekick is just so versatile in the selections of horizontal and vertical slip pockets and the sizing selections. I can't believe something so minimalist can be so versatile.

Having a pen and paper always with me is a game changer, and it's still slim enough to not feel out of place.

Sidekick V2 vs. Pocket Journal
Size: The Sidekick is slim and compact, designed for A7 notebooks—it won’t fit regular-sized Field Notes. The Pocket Journal is slightly larger and fits both Field Notes and a passport.
Capacity: The Sidekick holds 1 A7 (2.9" × 4") notebook, multiple cards, cash, and 1 pen—perfect for minimalist carry. The Pocket Journal fits up to two 3.5" × 5.5" notebooks for more organization.
Security & Closure: The Sidekick now features RFID blocking and improved card slots for added protection, with an open design for easy access. The Pocket Journal has a zipper closure to keep contents secure.

The sidekick is big enough to carry a pen, small notebook, cards, cash and whatever else you can think to stash away, yet small enough for your back pocket. Perfect addition to my every day carry. I am also hooked on that honeycomb hue.
LOCHBY9 months agoThat’s a solid setup! Glad the Sidekick fits right into your everyday carry while keeping everything organized. Appreciate you sharing your thoughts as well as your support. Thank you so much!
- JLJustin L.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars9 months agoAwesome!
Very nice wallet. There are 3 horizontal slots on the left side that I think you can comfortably put 2 cards in each slot. Behind that is an area to put a little cash or whatever else. It's not big enough put bills without folding but its also quite a bit bigger space than folding bills in half.
On the opposite side there is a vertical card slot along with another smaller vertical pocket. Not sure what all the smaller one could be used for but I saw someone put a utility knife there so I felt that was a great idea. If you go that route just be aware it takes a VERY compact knife to go there. The cars slot on this side I think could also fit a couple cards comfortably but I chose to put a tyvek sleeve with a sticker on it to hold my insurance and other cards. Behind all this another big pocket. I've put a small notebook behind it. This was my main reason for getting this as I am becoming increasingly forgetful the older I get and this way I can write down anything important or any various ideas or things I need to to in it.
Lastly on the inner spine is a slot for a pen or perhaps a similar shaped tool/screwdriver if that's your thing. Since i have the notebook I went with a pen.
All in all it's a fantastic wallet that holds plenty while remaining relatively compact. I've really enjoyed carrying it so far and if it is of interest to you the price is much cheaper than other nicer/leather wallets so couldn't hurt too much to give it a try.
LOCHBY9 months agoAppreciate the detailed review! Sounds like you've really put the Sidekick through its paces and found a setup that works perfectly for you. Thanks for sharing your experience—and we also want to thank you for the support. It means the world to us!

I thought I'll never need another Lochby, but here it is. New Sidekick that perfectly fits in my back pocket. Love the penholder. It fits and protects my Traveler's Company pen. Then I found Noble Note A7 notes and added Field Notes' calendar and like this set up so much.
LOCHBY9 months agoGlad to hear the it's a great addition to your setup and that you've found an awesome combination of gear that works for you! Thanks for the support as well and hope the Sidekick serves you well!

This is it!, and I bought extras, and will be getting the different colors also. A7 size Notebook, full size minimal pen, credit and debt card, ID, insurance, dental, prescription card.

This has effectively replaced my older wallet . It may be larger but the size really doesn't phase me I still even carry it in the front pocket of my jeans.
