I didn't think I wanted a built-in laptop section until I started using my S22. "I have a Cache, why would I need a laptop compartment?" I said. But I do really like how the built-in compartment keeps the laptop right up against the back of the bag. So now I want a Smart Alec with a laptop compartment (and I want the laptop compartment's top opening to be just a smidgen wider than the one on the S22).

Guide's Edition S19! Just because no one asked, doesn't mean no one wants it.

This one of @bchaplin’s pictures from the Business cards and Tom Bihn luggage tags thread. That discussion has other pictures of the Pocket Pouch next to the Luggage Tag (which can be tethered to an O-ring, or even looped about your wrist, if you were using it to hold, say, a hotel room card).
You can also be imaginative about your tethering solutions, depending on the bag/accessory. Earlier in this thread, I crafted an answer to @aedifica,about setting up a Night Flight Travel Duffel for easy Smart travel card access (#320 04-20-2019). Turns out that I was mistaken in my assumption — I thought she wanted to use the pseudo pocket where the grab handles for pulling the bag out are located, so she wouldn’t even have to unzip anything to access her card — but she just wanted an O-ring paced in the side zippered pocket, and that was also covered by my pics (even easier, since a small double Organizer Pouch fits into zippered pocket with a tether point for a smart card just positioned for the zippered opening, and you don’t even have worry about making this an exact fit to the pseudo-pocket behind it to get easy access use and tether an accessory that can hold a transit card safely.) So there are lots of ways to craft specific solutions to your bags.
The possible issue with the Clear Organizer Wallet is that the label hangs down a bit from the top seam — not an issue for a transit card, but a small blockage for an ID card. You’d be better off just dedicating another Nik’s Wallet in that case. If you only need the transit card to have proximity, and not actually pass through a device, it should work OK from the pocket.

Or what about a Clear Organizer Wallet? I use my COW for my Metro card - I can see at a glance that it's in there, and there are separators to hold a second or third card. I have mine on a long key strap.
Originally posted by KathyH View PostI’d love two other wallet versions. One would be a variation on #4 that has two external pockets, one on each side.

More Halycon colors available. The material is great for a wallet since it has a little more give.

A Halcyon Cubelet! I'm pretty sure someone has wished for this before. I use a Halcyon all fabric 3DOC to keep a few things together for work. These things would all fit in a Cubelet, but for this particular use I prefer the squishability of the Halcyon fabric. A squishable 200d Halcyon Cubelet would be great.

I’m really enjoying my Niks wallet, but when travelling I usually go back to a little wallet I was using before. It has three vertical card slots on the front, and a zippered pocket for coins on the back. It’s more useful to me in Europe where I’m using cash and not cards, but the materials annoy me and I would definitely prefer a TB version.

I would rather not dive in cold water, but here's the next best thing:
I managed to get close to a smaller chunk of ice back in 2016 (Iceland, not Antarctica):
