Phone Wallets on Adults

[Anonymous]

I’ve been shocked at how many grown women have their credit cards on / inside their phone case. For one I find it so tacky to have your credit card visible like that, and two, how so many women don’t have a purse on them all the time looks so sloppy. It’s also terrible for your phone and causes it to overheat. Also, if your phone gets lost you are hosed.

Why is this a thing??

I imagine it's because so many people find it useful.

It's much easier to grab one item while you're running out for a quick lunch instead of a bag or a phone and a wallet. This isn't rocket science and I'm always amazed at people like you being annoyed at things that have zero impact on their life.

Because if I’m just running errands I don’t want to wear a purse with my heavy winter coat. I can just have what I need in my coat pocket.

And how does it look “sloppy” to not carry a superfluous accessory?

I have my work permit, ID and credit card inside the folding cover of my phone at all times, because I walk the dog without my purse, and often change bags, but always bring my phone. It's security, to make sure I don't inadvertently leave these important things at home. Don't want to be picked up by ICE.

You wouldn't see any of it, because it's a folding cover.

I'm sure there are many things about you, OP, that I would find problematic. This thread topic comes first.

Not everyone is as fragile as you, OP

Wait, your phone overheats when it's in a case?

I'm not understanding how this is tacky or why in the world it matters to you.

I don't get it. I don't do it as it makes my phone bulky but if it didn't I'd use one. My kids have them and it helps.

Old people carry purses. Young people don’t.

I don’t have a phone wallet, but I hate purses and never carry one. I usually have a jacket or sweater with pockets, and I just put what I need in there. I’m not one to reapply lipstick or need hand cream, though—keys, phone, cards, cash, done.

This. None of my daughter’s friends carry purses unless they absolutely have to carry more than their phone or ID & credit card.

Because we don't care what you think and it is very convenient. Highly recommend to anyone who doesn't have one!

I did it when I went to a concert and couldn't bring a bag. Why do you care?

Same. I love that I can run out to drop my teens somewhere and just bring my phone and keys.
