I use one of those money clip/wallet deals. Smaller than traditional wallet and you easily can put it in your front pocket. Has pockets for all your credit cards and other things, plus it has a special see-thru pocket for your license or ID.
Does anyone carry a hipfold/hipster/euro wallet (or whatever they are called)

This is what I have been carrying in my front pocket. I'm not as fond of it as I thought I would be, it takes too long to get my phone out of it when I get a call. Normally I had a front pocket wallet and phone in the same pocket so I thought this would consolidate but I find I keep my phone in a lower pants pocket when at work. I paid $45 for it with tax. The only time I really like it is for traveling and I keep it in my upper coat pocket, then it's pretty suave.

I went on-line to purchase replacement plastic wallet inserts and found out that I've been carrying a "hipster wallet" for decades. Since long before they were called "hipster wallets."
This won't dissuade me from carrying one. Not that I have anything against hipsters.
I just find the term rather humorous.

Tall ones are meant for inside coat pockets, not pants.
Exactly. I've seen that style referred to as a "coat wallet" or "breast wallet". As @patten1969 noted, they go into the inside pocket of a coat or jacket. They generally look like this:
If it has a large pocket on one side (for a passport), then some people call it a "traveler" (I just call it a coat wallet with a passport pocket). I carry one when I fly for business:
For everyday/work use, I have a regular bifold with a coin purse:
When I wear a suit, I carry a slim bifold (no coin purse, fewer card slots):
When I'm cycling, hiking, etc., I use a mini-cardholder (holds a driver's license, 1 or 2 credit cards, $20 bill, house key). Small enough to stash in your sock, if necessary:
It dawns on me that I have too many wallets. And most of them cost more than the money that they hold. But, I internally justify it because they all have a specific purpose. (Just keep telling yourself that
)
I've been using the same Flowfold (vanguard) bifold wallet made from sailcloth since 2015. I did get s spare and I don't think I will ever need it lol. Their description says it weighs as much as three 8X11 sheets of paper.
Perfect post, perfect guide to wallets. You still need a money clip 
After buying all those wallets, I don't have any money to put in a money clip!Perfect post, perfect guide to wallets. You still need a money clip
Seriously, though, I have several money clips. Most were gifts from companies that I consulted for, so they have company logos, town crests/mottos, etc. on them. But, I did buy one that is almost identical to the mini cardholder, but instead of a money pocket, it has a spring-loaded clip to hold bills:
The first time that I used it, I pulled it from my pocket and the hinge got compressed or something and dumped my bills on the floor. I was in a checkout line and I could see everyone's eyes fixate on the money. All we needed was for someone to yell "Scramble!" and there might have been a riot.
Anyway, I went back to regular wallets after that.
I've been using a Rogue front pocket wallet for a few years - very nice.
Rogue Front Pocket Wallet - Classic Made in Maine Edition
Discover what's made Rogue Industries a name in the wallet industry. Our classic Made in Maine thin leather wallet fits perfectly in your front pocket.
I moved to a front pocket wallet that doesn't fold at all. It's helped to eliminate some back issues.
I love my i-clip. Especially in summer or on vacation when I want to travel light. I keep coins in my pocket, my key wallet or give them to the local bum.

Love Slim fold. Tyvek with a coating. Haven't tried their stronger tougher version yet.
Well, the wallet bug hit me again and I couldn't resist buying the Fossil "Derrick" RFID Magnetic Credit Card Case. I didn't need another one, but I had no choice when I saw the model name. 
Anyway, here are some photos...
It arrived in a nice-looking metal display box:
The model name, specs, colour, etc.:
Card pockets on the front side:
The magnetic money clip on the back:
Loaded up with cash and cards:
It's slim and compact; easily fits into a shirt breast pocket or front pants pocket without bulging. It's a tight fit, but you can cram five cards into it. (I have no idea if the RFID-blocking actually works)
The magnet in the money clip is large and very strong. It doesn't accidentally spring open like the hinged, mechanical clip in the card case/money clip that I mentioned in an earlier post.
The build-quality is excellent. The leather is smooth, thick, and sturdy-feeling. The stitching is uniform. The "FOSSIL" logo is deeply- and cleanly-embossed.
Overall, I'm pleased with it. I don't think that it will replace any of my regular wallets, but I might use it if I ever need to "go light". I'm not sure that I'll need the RFID protection, but I guess it's a useful throw-in.

I'm not sure if this type is something a hipster would carry. Just got it off Amazon. Certainly lots there to choose from, seem to be a lot of knockoffs too. It works well and is very minimal. I definitely like to change up my wallet on a regular basis.
I have been using a dedicated non-folding front pocket wallet for many years, since my doc told me carrying a wallet in my back pocket was detrimental to my back and contributing to my painful back problems. After trying a couple of types, I settled on the Coach version without the money clip, and haven’t looked back. My first one lasted for years, and I only swapped it out because I got a cooler one to replace it. In Coach language they call it a men’s card case. Fits the best in my pocket, and built like a tank. And there are tons of aesthetic designs to match any personality. My current wallet has Pac-Man on it. . Here is a generic version.
