Bitchin' Innertube Wallet

Step 4 Glue it shut and hit the town

Now that you have all the parts cut and prepped, it is time to put it all together and hit the town with your new rubber wallet. Take the rubber cement from the tire patch kit and squeeze it out on the scuffed portion of the rubber (see pic). Let it dry as detailed in the patch kit, and then press the two surfaces together. Be sure that your magnet and steel are inside before gluing. Once the glue is set, your wallet is complete. It can now hold all your Benjamins, Jacksons, and/or Washingtons. The image below is of $14 USD, four ones and a ten to illustrate the holding power of said money clip. In hand you can see the attractive nature of the innertube wallet. When spread artistically before my laser engraved cell the appeal is undeniable. In case you are interested, I laser engraved the design shown on my cell phone battery cover personally. I am also responsible for the misalignment between the design and the Motorola logo. I drew the Haida-inspired glyph. Contact me for more info or for the postscript file.

I used to have an innertube wallet such as this one, but I ended up making a pretty sick-nasty leather wallet (complete with waterproofing and a logo. ;)

it's not the SIZE it's the strength. And No, Struckbyanarrow, you're wrong. ANY magnetic media can be erased and/or rewritten via magnetic field. Get your facts straight.

 No no, mythbusters has proven this to be incorrect.  you need a fairly strong magnet specifically made to alter these cards to change the coding within.

[flio191]

 Also, I forgot to include that you would need a changing magnetic field, aka. AC current to affect any data on the card, therefore, you'd have to constantly swipe the card and change the magnets (magnetic field) direction.  However, It's pretty darn difficult to do this with a simple, even a nd magnet.

i would believe you but your name is Drstoooopid.

"i would believe you but your name is Drstoooopid."

struckbyanarrow you just made me wish Instructables had a "like" button!
Now that I think about it, that is a terrible idea, but nonetheless I would "like" this comment.

Me too!! Baahahha!! GOOD-TIMES!!

 the neodymium magnets from harddrives are pretty strong tho, wouldn't that be bad for credit cards, ipod /cellphone next to it?

[jmengel]

The metal plate in the wallet side will shield the cards from the magnet if big enough and the magnet is not too strong.  I have not had a problem with mine but your mileage may vary.  I typically keep my drivers license and other optical cards closest to the magnet as a precaution.

use a sewing machine to sew the middle section shut and on one end, put a snap unit from fabric store and fold over and you have a coin snap purse; use the open end for cc cards.

Why not make the whole wallet bigger to fit the money in?

[jmengel]

Because this is a money-clip style wallet which holds a minimum of cash. Cash is not king.

[MattSwan]

well, i meant along the the lines of making it wider. That way it doesn't wrinkle the bills along the side.

[the_TRUE_LINK_OWNZ!]

WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT?!?! HOW IS CASH NOT KING?! MONEY IS THE BEST THING U CAN HAVE IN THIS C***PY ECONOMY!!!!!!!!!!

[shaneomacmcgee]

He means that cash isn't nearly as popular as plastic anymore
