I'm looking to buy a new wallet. Something mainly just for cash and 4-5 cards (ID, credit card, ect.). I want something preferably leather that's a little unique or not your everyday boring wallet. Any ideas?
I have been using the ViewSlimmy from Koyono.com since March 2008 and have been very pleased.
I keep my ID, 4 credit cards, 2 insurance cards, and 5 - 8 bills in it all times. Occasionally, I throw in a receipt or two before dropping them i my briefcase or back in the envelope. It is a great slim front pocket wallet.

I love my angle wallet by Makr - they are produced in extremely small numbers right here in the U.S. You'll defintely be one of the few lucky guys to own one.

I recently went through this. I suggest a dopp regatta 88: http://www.amazon.com/Dopp-Regatta-Front-Getaway-Pocket/dp/B00007GDE2 or the banana republic monogram card holder: http://bananarepublic.gap.com/browse/product.do?cid=44858&vid=1&pid=598400 The former is pure functionality, the latter has a bit of style and a quality feel. Both are very slim.
I use a card case, specifically the Water Buffalo Slip Passcase from Coach. One side has a clear spot for an ID, and there are slots on the other side for your two most common cards. There is additional space behind those for less commonly used cards.
You could probably slide a note in there for backup, but I carry my folding money in a separate clip.
When my family went to Sweden, they picked me up a great wallet made from Swedish Elk/Moose leather. It's very stylish, unique, and affordable (around $50.00). It also has a change pouch which comes in handy.
If you want cool and unique but well-built and quality, without a doubt, J-Fold Their stuff is really different, it features a variety of textures and colors, and I've been using my first wallet for about three or four years and it hasn't worn or faded at all. Definitely worth a look or three.
I really like the capacity and thickness of this wallet made from sail cloth and leather from All-Ett. It is thin but still holds a great deal of stuff. http://www.all-ett.com/products.asp#Executive. They are inexpensive at about $30. It is what I use everyday. They are perhaps not as stylish as you may wish, but they are great.
