Phone wallets seem like such an older person thing to me vs regular wallets. It’s like admitting you won’t have your phone in your hand constantly so why not combine the two.
Also a handy way to lose your phone, ID, debit, and credit cards all at once! Why not combine all the worst things to lose that I carry into one losable, stealable package? Might as well clip the keys to them too!
Maybe add a thin string to the phone and attach the other end to person’s glasses? So when you lose your phonewalletkeyandglassesholder it wouldn’t make us four-eyed folks feel left out.
Keys and phone can’t mix. And if you have a traditional wallet they are on the big side. So you’ll have to use your back pocket (in summer) which can be uncomfortable and prone to pickpockets.
So. A place to put your cards in the case for your phone is very space efficient. Since you always carry your phone with you anyway.
Not sure what you mean by “admitting you won’t have your phone in your hand”. Phone case vs phone wallet case, we’re talking, at most. 5mm of extra width.
I want my wallet to block RFID and NFC so people can’t read my cards from in my pocket, but that’d probably cause serious problems for my phone reception.
It’d make my phone chonky AF in my pocket, I can’t split it between two pockets.
I mostly only need my wallet if I’m driving, for my driver’s license, but paranoia makes me take it with me whenever I’m traveling by vehicle even if I’m not the driver.
Elder statesman millennial here (38 at this point). There’s a pocket on my phone case. I have to carry a phone. Why not make my phone my wallet?

Hold on, let me go @ popsocket… We’ll make that a thing yet!

People rarely go out without their phones, so having their wallet in their phone case means they never forget their wallet.
The downside is if you lose your phone, you lose your wallet.
I’d rather have a separate wallet, but I get why it’s useful.
You’re assuming I don’t always have my phone in my hand anyways.
It’s about pocket space. Keys + phone + wallet.

I’ve thought about doing this, but:
