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.

— Ken G.

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.

    Last wallet I will buy.

    The Sidekick (great name) is the last wallet I will ever buy (all color combos) I mean it holds a full size pen of your choice, a notebook of your choice (A7) and your cards all in a form factor that is the same size as the phone that is already in your pocket.

    Wow wow!!!

    This is very rapidly becoming a top favorite wallet and my most wanted wallet lately to carry. For now I’m not using it with a notebook but just a couple blank pocketmod in it. But it’s super comfortable to use. I love opening and closing it. Very awesome. Totally recommend.

    Awesome Wallet

    I love, love Lochby products. I have several items and of course had to get their wallet. The wallet feels sturdy and holds everything I need. This is the first wallet I’ve had where I could carry a pen and notebook and it’s actually come in handy. The one small complaint I have (not enough to knock off a star) is my cards slide out of the card holder behind the notebook. Thankfully the notebook catches them. Overall, I would definitely recommend this wallet!

    Thanks for your continued support! We're happy to hear the Sidekick is fitting right in with your other Lochby gear and that having a pen and notebook on hand has been useful. We appreciate your feedback on the card holder and will pass it along to our team. Enjoy your wallet!

    Very Pleased

    Well made, great materials, and a very good design. I like how the pockets spread out my cards, etc., and help it keep a slim profile. I was a little disappointed that it won’t fit a passport, and while you can stick a Field Notes or similar in there, it won’t fold properly. But really, I don’t like having to take my wallet out to jot something down, so I just slip my notebook behind my wallet. I do keep a backup Rhodia A7 and a Space Pen in the wallet and don’t even notice they’re in there. Very pleased with this purchase!

    Glad you're enjoying it! Sounds like you've got a solid setup with the Rhodia A7 and Space Pen—always good to be prepared! If you're looking for something that fits a passport perfectly, you might want to check out our Pocket Journal. It’s a great size for travel and keeps things streamlined while still giving you space for notes. Might be worth a look!

    Awesome EDC wallet

    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.
