Having paper currency as part of your EDC for when electronic payment goes down feels great until someone starts calling you unc for having a wallet. Trust me.

    The youth are against wallets now?? What am I going to do, shove every card I could conceivably one day need into my pockets like I’m deranged?

    That wallet stays at home. 99% of the time all you need is drivers license and Apple pay. Though I can't seem to not take my credit card and bank card.

    You wouldn't do well where I live. We do have card readers in almost all places now. But you ain't getting far with apple pay. Very, very few stores have that feature activated.

    You either pay cash or swipe. And cash is still much appreciated.

    Ever try it? At any normal store the clerk is going to say they cant do anything without the register connected to the network

    Why would I not have a wallet? I would never trust tap pay on my phone, I don't even have full access to my email on it

    Look at this, and be enlightened:

    At least some version of this, mine is a lot more compact, 3 cards and space for some bills or papers/tickets and the like.

    E: I guess this photo doesnt show the fact its a phone case very well after all. Be moderately illuminated then instead🫠

    I could never be comfortable with a combination wallet and phone case. If my phone is ever lost or stolen, the first thing I'm going to need is my wallet. If I lose my wallet, I'll immediately need my phone. If they're both the same thing I'd be screwed.

    Valid point, though i personally really like having just two things to keep track of when outside. Phone and keys.

    I am mostly really paranoid about leaving my stuff behind so actually forgetting it is not that much of an issue for me. Though i must concede if i were to be robbed that would be really inconvenient to fix.

    To really throw you for a loop, that's what my dad uses.

    I've tried them, but they're not for me. I have something similar to a ridge, and am learning to live being unc to the younger guys.

    I swear I was a young guy just the other day. Time flies
