You got me excited. I was going to RMA my stretched out wallet, but now I stand by my opinion to avoid this wallet.
Anyways here's my Nomatic wallet after being stuffed. Now it's totally loose. https://imgur.com/a/pbTK87v If you like to carry a stack of cards and some backup cash this will work for you. But it's not for people who go minimal and only carry 3-4 cards.

The travel pack seems to be polarizing but I got it during the Black Friday sale from Costco next (20L for $153.xx delivered). Just had a chance to travel with it and I am very happy with its versatility, capacity, and comfort. I had some reservations from the comments on the previous thread but it's my preferred laptop backpack now compared against tumi alpha, multiple Briggs and Riley, aer tech pack 2, ospreys, and many others. There are a lot of pockets meaning no loose items ever, the internal material is very soft to the touch, handles on both sides and top, water bottle holders on both sides (hated that the aer tech pack only had one) that are magnetic and closes flat when not in use, very comfortable and padded shoulder straps and back, top handle is highly padded as well, can open pretty much all the way on all the compartments making it super easy to pack/unpack or look for something, easy to expand to larger size, well padded laptop and tablet compartment (tumi was bad in this regard), free standing even when empty, and the front material appears to be more scuff resistant than the aer which was my previous preferred backpack. There are a lot of complaints about the weight but it's close to the aer and I didn't notice it. I do prefer luggage handle pass through to be vertical (which it is for the 14L version) but you can use the chest strap as a makeshift method.
Because of how much I liked the nomatic travel pack, I looked at the luggage too. Seems like the classic carry one has one of the best if not best wheels, tough exterior, and magnetic internal straps. However, it is only 30L capacity while Briggs and Riley at same external dimension is around 37L and rimowa carry on is shorter but wider is also 37L. Seems like it would good for someone that doesn't need to pack much and usually does continental flights but I would prefer to have a little more capacity.
