    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

    1. Phone cases can have credit card holders in them

    2. Some states now have virtual driver’s licenses

    3. 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.

      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.

      None of those help me store cash.

      And a lot of really good restaurants have good discount if you pay in cash
