i would like to buy a smaller and thinner card case than my chanel ones to use in smaller bags, multi pochette accessoires specifially.

i already have cles and pocket organizer from LV and various different card/coin purse models from Chanel that i feel are too bulky to use when i'm just carrying the smaller pochette from MPA. i want to carry just my cards, 4-key holder, car key and my phone.

what do you think would be the best option between recto verso, classic card case (with 3 compartments) and neo card case?

i normally carry about 5 credit cards, 1 debit card, 2 ids, drivers licence, office cards for 3 different offices, cash. for the smaller bag ideally i would like to carry them all but must be able to carry at least 3 bank cards, 2ids and cash.

thank you for your help.
 
I recommend the empreinte zipped card holder. I keep my two most important cards in the outer pockets, and then cash, one key, and more cards in the zipped pocket. It can fit more than it seems and I've used it every day for 1,5 years and it still looks like new.

I vote Neo card case. I have the Neo card case, classic card case, the men's coin card holder (which I think is very similar to the Recto Verso). Neo Card Case carries a lot. It doesn't have the zipper or key holder but from what I've heard the Recto is pretty bulky if you actually try to keep keys or coin in the zipper compartment. Price difference is pretty significant too.

size wise, when empty, is it the same as classic card case?
