Compare the Waterfield Micro Wallet and Piggyback Accessory Pack to decide which slim EDC add-on fits your carry style and gear needs.
Quick answer
The Micro Wallet is your best bet for a standalone card-and-cash carry with room for small dongles, while the Piggyback Pack is a modular expansion for your SleeveCase when you need extra space for a wallet, phone, or keys.
Standalone vs modular design
The Micro Wallet works as an independent pouch—slip it into a pocket, bag, or use it on its own. The Piggyback Pack, in contrast, requires a compatible SleeveCase with D-rings; it’s not a standalone solution. If you don’t already own a SleeveCase with those rings, the Piggyback won’t work for you.
Capacity trade-off
The Micro Wallet excels at slim daily carry: a few cards, cash, and small tech like adapters or dongles. The Piggyback Pack offers more volume—enough for a wallet, phone, keys, and a power cord—but adds bulk and requires the attachment system. Choose based on whether you prioritize minimalism or extra capacity.
Trade-offs at a glance
- Micro Wallet: Minimalist standalone: Carries cards, cash, and small tech in a slim profile. Works in any pocket or bag. Choose the International size if you handle foreign currency. Best for those who want a dedicated wallet that also holds a couple of dongles.
- Piggyback Pack: Modular expansion: Attaches to a SleeveCase with D-rings for extra storage. Holds a wallet, phone, keys, and power cord. Not usable without the compatible case. Ideal if you already own a SleeveCase and need occasional extra capacity.
- Which to pick?: If you need a standalone everyday wallet, go with the Micro Wallet. If you want to expand an existing SleeveCase for travel or busy days, choose the Piggyback Pack.
Product facts
- Micro Wallet: The Micro Wallet is the perfect size for carrying a bit of cash and cards. It's also great for storing dongles, adapters, and small tech gear. Two sizes: Compact and International (holds larger foreign currency). Available in Leather, Waxed Canvas, or Ballistic Nylon. You can tailor the size to your typical currency and pick a material that matches your durability or style preference.
