    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.

      Both Chlorine and Salt Water can destroy a credit card with repeat or prolonged exposure.

      So I definitely wouldn’t recommend that, even if you carry a wallet.

      I was riding a lime scooter, crashed and broke my phone. If I didn’t have my wallet I would have been stuck.

      Which is why id suggest a phone case with a credit card slot. Still have the physical card for an emergency.

      Charging is not inconvenient unless the battery is dying. Why would anyone swim with a wallet. Phones can ignore incoming traffic.

        There’s a river at cuts through my town. In the summer I like to wear quick drying shorts and hop in when it’s really hot out.

        And the man can always track you unless you put your phone in one of those signal blocking bags.
