It's the Waiter's Purse model. The accordion part holds money and cards, and the folded part at the front actually turns into a little open-topped box when you flip up the front to hold coins very securely- plus in a dim room you're looking into a shallow tray for coins, not a deep pit like with so many wallets.
Sadly, I can't seem to order from that website, but if anyone knows what I'm talking about, (and knows the real name of it!) they would be great for a kilt wallet- keep all your change in one spot!

I really like how that one is designed. If only it was half the width, to fit a single-fold bill.
While I was looking around, I found one just like the one you linked to, except it had an LED set up to light the inside of the change area. I couldn't find it when I went back for second look.

I had a pocketbook with an LED in it- it worked pretty well, but since there was no way to replace the battery I won't be buying another one.
Still, if you could fit a checkbook into your sporaan, you could fit that easily.

This one cost 60 pounds (I think that was the symbol), so it better have a replaceable battery!

A checkbook??! I'm not allowed to carry the checkbook; she thinks that somehow limits my spending ability. 
Besides, as a part timer, I want to be able to easily stick it in my (pants) pocket as well.
I still like the design though.

There's one on ebay that's about to end in a little over an hour.
Waiter Wallet
I PM'd Shay about it a few days ago, but there's still no bids yet, and the starting bid is only $14.99, with a "buy It Now" price of $24.99, so I thought I'd let the rest of you know.
