Women and men both tend to need a bit of help in keeping personal items neat and orderly. One item that can certainly assist in that regard is a little accessory otherwise known as a credit card holder.

The main difference between this and a normal wallet is that the sides of the credit card holder are specially reinforced so that they can not crumple or fold, thereby protecting your various important cards from warping or breaking.
