Metal Card Case
I'm looking for a thin metal case, the sort of thing that usually holds business cards or credit cards, but bigger, able to hold four poker-size cards. Any assistance would be most appreciated.

Hi Bob,
It might not be thin enough for your purpose, but I use the ‘Big Stockholm’ wallet from ogondesigns.com
I.e. https://www.amazon.com/Ogon-Stockholm-A ... B001RLUTOI (comes in many different colours)
It is large enough to comfortably hold 4 poker sized packet tricks, and it is very tough.
Hope that helps
Jez

Re: Metal Card Case
I think THIS might be exactly what you need.

A Roterberg Card Box would be ideal.

Jez: that looks like it might work. Can it be opened in two different ways? What I mean is this, let's say you have a double-face card in side. If you open it with one side up, they see face #1 and if you open it up with face #2 they see a different card inside.

Hi Bob,
I've emailed you some more pictures of the wallet, which hopefully will help answer some of your questions.
It has 7 sections in the accordion/fan style inner compartments, so you could put a double facer in the middle one.
There is a small silver logo on one outer side, which is not on the other, and there is a more subtle embossed black logo on one of the inner sides.And the clasp itself is not completely symmetrical either. Also, the coloured cases are done with paint on aluminium, and my one has chipped a bit with use, which again might make it not appear symmetric, so maybe the 'silver' coloured one would diminish some of these problems ( https://www.amazon.com/dp/B004YWGK4K )
I hope this helps

There are several metal card boxes that would work. Roterberg, P&L, Tenyo, and I'm sure many others. A metal Card Box was once an easy thing to find.

The case does not have to be gaffed.

Re: Metal Card Case
Magic card cases were originally fashioned after cigarette cases so your best bet is to look for one that suits your purpose. I google thin metal cigarette case and the first result looks like it would work for you.
