| 1.1.7x | 2007 | 4x7 | Tyvek prototype, unassembled with 1.1.x and 1.2.x notes written on the design, this remains the base pattern for subsequent 1.1.x and 1.2.x manufactures | |
| 1.1.8z | 2007 | Tyvek (fabric grade) production | ||
| 2.1.1x | 2008 | 4x5 | First sketch of "simple trifold" | Paper prototype (scale ~1:2.6) |
| 2.1.2x | 2008 | 4x7 | Paper prototype (scale ~1:1.7) | |
| 2.1.3z | Feb 2008 | 4x7 | Tyvek production. 12 march 2011: Has additional notes for 2.2.x | |
| 3.1.1xz | early July 2008 | 3.5x4 (but pre-glued, so not unfoldable) | First sketch of "simple quadfold" | Tyvek prototype, used as production |
| 1.1.9z | mid July 2008 | Tyvek production, made for europe trip | ||
| 3.1.2x | 2008 | 3.5x4 (not unfoldable) | Tyvek prototype. | |
| 3.1.3x | 2008 | ?? (whole envelope) | Tyvek prototype. | |
| 3.1.4x | 2008 | ?? (whole envelope) | Tyvek prototype. | |
| 1.1.10z | 2008 | First to use full tape outer shell. Black and red gaff shell | Tyvek production, made for Erin | |
| 1.2.1x | December 2008 | 4x7 (complete) | Paper prototype. (scale ~1:1.6) | |
| 1.1.11z | May 2009 | Tyvek production, for Sly, Black and blue gaff shell, but not sent because I had a better design made! Instead, it was archived, and pulled into my own use in May 2013 (replacing 1.2.2z). Note that version on card internally originally gave it incorrectly as 1.1.10p. | ||
| 1.2.2z | 30 May 2009 | Tyvek production, Black and red gaff shell | ||
| 2.2.1z | Mar 2011 | 4x7 | Additional panels retained for structure. Tape used for stiffness | Tyvek production. |
| 1.1.11z | May 2013 | Wallet created in 2009 pulled into production use | ||
| 1.1.11z | June 2014 | Addition of tape-lined foil in backing as NFC shield. Outer wing is not protected for transport cards. Inner two wings are. | ||
| 1.1.11z | November 2015 | Old tape casing very VERY degraded. Covered in transparent duct tape. Very satisfactory result. | ||
| 4.1.1x | 27 Oct 2023 | 6x (3 + 2x 1/3) | A4 paper. Basic 6 layer front-to-back sketch, one end at rear of each inner note sleeve | "Origami Wallet" inspired complex trifold |
| 4.1.2x | 27 Oct 2023 | 6x7 | same 6 layer front-to-back sketch, with very initial sketch side folds added | |
| 4.1.3x | 27 Oct 2023 | 6x5 | 6 layer front-to-back sketch, both ends now to the rear note sleeve | |
| 4.1.4x | 1 Nov 2023 | 6x5 (center/left side only) | 6 layer with both ends to the front note sleeve. Left side as a detailed sketch of folds to create pockets | Notes to assist creating 4.1.5x |
| 4.1.5x | 2-5 Nov 2023 | 6x9 | Same 6 layer. Left side improved pockets. Right side sketch of options for it's pocket need. | Notes on relative sizes for fold ratios, and panel requirements |
| 4.1.6x | 6 Nov 2023 | 5x7 | 5 fold front to back - one end front of front pocket, other end top of center divide. Left side pockets carryover. Right side experimental pocket that doesn't seal the rear note sleeve on the right edge | Notes for improvement |
| 4.1.7x | 7 Nov 2023 | 5x8 | same 5 fold. Improved right side pockets, keeping the open right edge rear note sleeve | Extensive notes to decode the net when unfolded, including shading each side seperate |
| 4.1.8x | 8 Nov 2023 | 6x8 | 6 fold as per 4.1.4x and 4.1.5x. Side pockets same as per 4.1.7x | Alternate orientation of A4 before folding, resulting in different ratio of the prototype (others have been very squarish. This is too far the other way - tall and thin! |
| 4.1.9x | 9 Nov 2023 | 6x7 | 6 fold as per 4.1.4x. Side pockets attempted to be same as 4.1.7 but misaligned. Both sleeves ended up open to the right, amongst other issues. | Notes to improve with 4.1.10x |
| 4.1.10x | 12 Nov 2023 | 6x8 | Improved from 4.1.9x. Front sleeve only now open to the right. | |
| 4.1.11x | 24 Nov 2023 | 6.2x9 | Folded from manilla folder card stock. Symmetrical design (by folds) for identical left and right thirds | Coloured to show what is outside and inside when folded (notes written 11 months later) |
| 4.1.12x | 5 Dec 2023 | 6x7 | Folded from "Ultra 400" ripstop material. Rear sleeve only now opens to the right. (similar to 4.1.7 and 4.1.8? TODO: unfold those and check | (notes written 11months later) |
| 4.1.13x | 6 Dec 2023 | 5x9 | Symmetrical edge folding as per 4.1.12x. Single note sleeve | The fifth part of the core triples within the back wall for extra thickness and creating double-thickness along the bottom. Those could be sacrificed to instead have the fifth be a single-thickness note sleeve separator internally (the double-wall base would then only apply to the front sleeve) (notes written 11 months later) |
| 4.1.14x | 9 Dec 2023 | 4.5x8.8 | Refining 4.1.13x, trimming space. Width is central three, and outer wings are 2.9 (all approx of course) | The "bottomless/fake" card pockets that have been a result of structural folding since 4.1.4x are minimised here - half width so harder to mistake as card pockets, whilst still being sufficiently (I hope) structural). 4.6x9 is the target unfolded size as that allows a wallet to be folded from A2. A larger net will require A1. (notes written 11 months later) |
| 4.1.15x | 8 Oct2025 | 4.5x9 | Refining 4.1.14x. Experimenting with some alternate cuts | New wraparound under resolves the fake card pockets concern, at the expense of weirder cuts across existing pockets. |
- All prototypes are paper unless otherwise noted. Probably A4 but not confirmed.
- All tyvek use is paper grade from envelopes, unless otherwise noted.
- All prototypes are full-size unless otherwise noted
