I am officially wallet free

What about EMV only cards or terminals that will come later this year as part of the mandate?

where do you put your drivers license ?

Punch a hole and add it to the keychain

Thanks for the info. I am going to order one right now.

How do you pay for the check at restaurants?

Interesting. Not sure I'd be comfortable doing that. Let us know if you run into any trouble OP.

I just bought a Loop Pay fob, and in conjunction with Apple Pay, I now no longer carry a wallet of any kind. If I get cash, they just go folded up into my pocket.

Now I carry my phone, the fob, and a drivers license. Before that I would carry about 20 cards with me, I kind of wish Apple embedded Loop Pay in addition to NFC.

Of course I'll always try Apple Pay first before resorting to my loop fob.

Been doing this for over a year now. But instead of the FOB, I have one debit card I carry in my front pocket with my phone. Nothing else needed, not even cash. Don't even bother taking my Drivers License with me, unless it is needed for something like renting a car. I maintain a digital copy of my license on an app called Cardmate (requires me to manually enter a swipe pattern to get in to it, so Touch ID/PIN can't be forced), just in case I get pulled over. As long as a cop can verify your identity, a physical copy of the ID is not required to be on your person.

P.S. I had been wondering about the Loop Pay FOB. I'm guessing you highly recommend it?

I'm wallet free, too, but I just used a rubber band.

I use a money clip.

Uh some take cash only

Just looked up loop and it seems pretty neat. I think this is the direction phones are going anyway though. I especially liked the case with the little removable fob and a slot for your ID, a card, light cash, etc.

Had this been something that came out 5+ years ago I would be all about it. As it stands now, I think I will just wait. I am thinking Apple Pay will become virtually ubiquitous. Once BofA allows for trasnactions at an ATM via Apple Pay I will probably never use the card again.

Doesn't work with chip? Useless in my country then

Should I return my wallet? I really like it. I've been looking for something this slim for years.

I haven't encountered a "cash only" place in about a decade. Even many vending machines take credit cards and NFC payments.

For people who carry one or two cards I don't think Loop Pay is a worthwhile investment. I have 20 or so, so I think now I can have all the cards with me at all times.

I still think it is a worthwhile investment, especially from a security standpoint.

Men's wallets do not have zippers.

I carried my subway pass in my front pocket, and one day, I absent mildly put my phone in the same pocket. Shortly there after, I pulled the phone out to use it, and the pass came with it (which I did not notice), it then fell to the ground somewhere.

my point is that you risk losing your identification if you put it in your pocket like that.

What's the harm in a wallet? I think its a great product for keeping my credit cards/subway pass/license safe, secure and in easily retrieved.

Here is a page full of them on Amazon:

For a long time I carried two wallets as a precaution. In case of being accosted, I would reluctantly hand over the wallet that held less value and easily replaceable documentation.

Actually there are plenty of men's wallets that do. Not really my cup of tea but they do exist.

Hopefully 2016 the uk will push through digital driving licences then the wallet will be a thing of the past. With nfc being around for a few years over here apple pay should propogate very quickly over here.
