Uhm... on top of not having my phone as my single payment method... where should I carry my id and driver's license and medical card if not in the wallet? Should I carry them loose in the pocket? Or in my bag? Why? That's so unconvenient and in the long term ends up damaging them.

[–] PlaidBaron@lemmy.world 15 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

I barely keep my phone on me, period. I hate the thing.

[–] Sc00ter@lemmy.zip 8 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I have a job that prohibits me from having a phone during working hours. It broke me of my dependency and now ive notice people getting irritated if i dont respond in minutes. Some days, they'll just have to wait til 5 until I can check it again.

But it's also made me so much less attached. I regularly dont have it on me

[–] Gaja0@lemmy.zip 1 points 3 weeks ago

It's my companion for the restroom. If you text me any other time, it's going to be at least 5 minutes before I notice.

[–] nullify3112@lemmy.world 4 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

What is your secret? The doom rectangle cannot be evaded…

[–] PlaidBaron@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago

I just hate being bothered. Thats pretty much my entire secret. When I first got a smartphone I cracked the screen chucking it in the next room because the damn thing wouldnt stop buzzing.

[–] BarbecueCowboy@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

So, Gen z just like doesn't carry those or will have maybe one at a time if they have to just hanging loose. Yeah, it's weird.

[–] Naho_Zako@piefed.zip 22 points 3 weeks ago (5 children)

Gen z here, I do use a wallet but many people use these sticky wallets that you slap on the back of your phone case to hold their cards.

I don't use them because 1. what if something slips out somehow and 2. damn you lose your phone and wallet in one.

We don't just leave shit hanging loose lol. We still have credit cards and drivers licenses to hold.

[–] ITGuyLevi@programming.dev 25 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Some would argue that is still a wallet, just a wallet with a magnet to attach to stuff.

[–] shawn1122@sh.itjust.works 3 points 3 weeks ago

There is no argument to be had here. That is literally a wallet.

[–] cheers_queers@lemmy.zip 4 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

i had one of those wallet phone cases and lost my phone. luckily it was at pride and whoever found it was not an asshole. tracked the phone and got it back, and thankfully didnt get my card used or stolen. i learned that day.

(i only lost it that once. just my luck lol)

[–] Uli@sopuli.xyz 2 points 3 weeks ago

I have one of these that has a tracker in it, so even if my phone dies, I can find both my wallet and my phone.

[–] zikzak025@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

But then that comes with the tradeoff of being unable to use Qi charging

[–] sem@piefed.blahaj.zone 3 points 3 weeks ago

I got a magnetic one that you can snap off to charge wirelessly.

[–] kevin2107@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

I use my wallet to store ma drugz

[–] testaccount789@sh.itjust.works 4 points 3 weeks ago

I usually get plastic sleeves with those, so yes, I just have a stack of cards in my pocket. At least I can fit it in together with a phone.

Although I don't know how to deal with coins. A jacket brings me extra pockets at least, which is why I can more or less only use cash during winter.
Buying a wallet requires a choice. Searching for something right, and I am too lazy for that, so in the pocket it goes. Unfortunately, I often lack pockets. So if I am not traveling, I'll just leave out my phone, so I can still fit in keys, cards, and a shopping bag. After all, I don't need a phone most of the time anyway.

[–] bumblefumble@mander.xyz 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

In Denmark those are all available on your phone.

[–] AbsolutelyNotAVelociraptor@piefed.social 7 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Yes, and if your phone runs out of battery, gets stolen or simply dies in any way, you won't have access to them.

[–] sem@piefed.blahaj.zone 2 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

My phone battery doesn't die, I have to charge it every night though.

[–] AbsolutelyNotAVelociraptor@piefed.social 3 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Bold of you to assume your phone will never fail you.

[–] sem@piefed.blahaj.zone 2 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Everything fails. Do you know how many times I've forgotten my wallet various places? My phone just fails less.

[–] AbsolutelyNotAVelociraptor@piefed.social 1 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (1 children)

Which is why having everything on the same place is a bigger risk than having the phone and the wallet.

[–] sem@piefed.blahaj.zone 2 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

How is it a bigger risk? Two things = two things to lose. Especially since the tile in the wallet is worse than find my in the phone.

[–] AbsolutelyNotAVelociraptor@piefed.social 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Ever heard of the saying "never put all the eggs in the same basket"? It's harder to lose two different things at the same time than to lose one. You might lose your wallet but keep your phone or viceversa, but it's way more difficult to lose both at the same time if they are in separate pockets. Also, paper documents work even if they get damaged, a phone might not.

[–] sem@piefed.blahaj.zone 2 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

I've heard of it, but have you heard of minimizing an attack surface? Your overall risk goes down if you can minimize it.

I used to have a separate wallet, but i switched to this magnetic billfold thing that attaches to the back of my phone. It has enough room for an ID, credit card, debit card, and ond of those tile locators shaped like a credit card. Unfortunately these are horrible for user privacy, but it helps me find it if I lose it. In a pinch, it can also hold a small fold of cash.

I almost never need the other things my old wallet held: insurance card, cash, other credit cards or gift cards...? What else did I even carry? I still have my old wallet at home and a small box I use to keep other ID cards, gift cards, etc.

The magnetic thing also doubles for a hands-free phone stand if I want to set the phone down on a surface and watch tv while I'm eating lunch or something.

[–] AbsolutelyNotAVelociraptor@piefed.social 3 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

If you lose your phone, you lose everything tho.

[–] sem@piefed.blahaj.zone 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Not necessarily. I can detach the phone wallet and leave it at home if i want.

Also why would i lose my phone?

If i misplace it at home, i can use find my to ring it. Can't do that with a wallet.

[–] AbsolutelyNotAVelociraptor@piefed.social 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

If you leave the wallet at home and lose the phone or it fails, then you're still with no documents or cards. Just because it never happened to you doesn't mean it can't happen. I got in a car crash when I was returning home from my job and the phone got destroyed. I was able to be identified and my family located because I was carrying my wallet with ID, national security card and driver's license. It's an extreme case, but it can happen. It could also fall in a bad way and get damaged... I've seen too many phones (fortunately not mine) decide to fail their user in the worst moment to trust them exclusively.

[–] sem@piefed.blahaj.zone 1 points 3 weeks ago (6 children)

This is why you always have to carry physical ID when you're driving.

Yes it has happened to me before. Just less often than losing my wallet when i used to have one that didn't attach to the phone.

I have a 3d printed card holder I made.

[–] eronth@lemmy.dbzer0.com 27 points 3 weeks ago (3 children)
[–] ITGuyLevi@programming.dev 4 points 3 weeks ago

My thought exactly. A decade or so ago my back was hurting and I decided to try a different style of wallet. Upgraded to a better one when I realized it works for me.

Even if all I have in it are cards, id, and a single dollar bill, it's still a wallet, just doesn't leave me sitting at an angle. Yeah I had a Costanza wallet going on.

[–] hansolo@lemmy.today 3 points 3 weeks ago

I use one of those minimalist wallets, and I would describe it as a card holder with an elastic for cash.

[–] CADmonkey@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

Not sure, there seems to be some debate on the subject.
