If I was much older I wouldn’t even count as a millennial, and Im genuinely shocked by some of these replies.
People don’t seem to realize
Phone cases can have credit card holders in them
Some states now have virtual driver’s licenses
if your phone breaks or whatever all your data is accessible from another device and freeze all your accounts if for some reason you skipped #1.
There really is no need for a wallet anymore.
I don’t have to charge my wallet and I can go swimming with my wallet. And I if I don’t want anyone to contact me I can leave my phone at home and still have my wallet for spending money and holding my drivers license.
I don’t understand why someone would choose to be that dependent on a phone. I was riding a lime scooter, crashed and broke my phone. If I didn’t have my wallet I would have been stuck.
You have a waterproof wallet?
It only have plastic cards in it
My old wallet was like leather and carboard, def not waterproof
My wallet is metal and elastic
Both Chlorine and Salt Water can destroy a credit card with repeat or prolonged exposure.
So I definitely wouldn’t recommend that, even if you carry a wallet.
Which is why id suggest a phone case with a credit card slot. Still have the physical card for an emergency.
Charging is not inconvenient unless the battery is dying. Why would anyone swim with a wallet. Phones can ignore incoming traffic.
None of those help me store cash.
And a lot of really good restaurants have good discount if you pay in cash
Most of the best ones.
You can keep cash in a credit card slot in the phone case. Maybe not coins but I usually keep a 5, 10 and 20 on me for emergencies. Sucks to need to buy something and your phone is dead or fell in water.
The type of people who use a wallet/card case on their phone are also the type of people who frequently lose their phone.
Truthfully when I used to carry a wallet, I lost it and or my cards significantly more times than ive ever lost my phone.
But thats in part because my phone is usually linked to another device, so I’ll notice if I get more than a few feet from it cause the other device’s disconnect.
