Well, I definitely fit in the box, got a leather billfold wallet. I'd say I feel like I've got several good reasons to:

  • we don't have digital ID in this country
  • For some reason we sometimes get issued paper tickets for the train rather than QR code tickets
  • I'm sometimes out all day and late into the evening and don't want a dead phone stopping whatever I'm doing
  • I go to enough other countries where you can't get away without using cash
  • (Least of all) I find those metal slim wallets to just be a bit ugly looking personally

Youths in my country have their debit card between their phone and phone case.

So if someone robs your phone you're doubly fucked? Also wouldn't that mess with using the phone payments?

Not a big problem where I live, but I guess it would be in some countries
