9/19/2023 0 Comments Wallet phone case![]() If you have a card that you need to limit yourself from using, leave it at home and it is much less convenient to use it. We now live far enough away from a Target that it doesn’t have the same effect on me, so I can keep the card in my phone without much risk. I used to leave my Target card in my real wallet and it helped me avoid stopping in (and spending way too much money). ![]() I have the extras in my real wallet in a bag and will bring it with me when I know I’m headed somewhere where I might need one. Now, I just carry the cards I regularly need and use. I used to carry a big stack of random cards – debit, punch cards, gift cards, membership cards – and they totally weighed down my wallet. Limiting the number of cards I can carry also keeps things streamlined. ![]() As long as I have my phone with me (which I pretty much always do), I can just grab the card I need without having to move a lazy muscle. Here’s another random reason I love a wallet case: I tend to do a lot of our shopping online and it is just the worst when you’re all cozy on the couch and in order to checkout you have to get up to go find your purse for your credit card number. When I had babies, I needed to carry a bag with all the things in it but I would still imagine that having a wallet case would make getting out of the house just a touch easier since it is only one thing to remember rather than a wallet and a phone. Post office, dry cleaner, hardware store, gas station. When I hit the grocery store it’s just my keys and phone (and maybe a list). When I drop the kids off at school all I need are my keys and phone. ![]() Having just the essentials in my phone works for at least 80% of my daily errands and outings. I talked a bit about the reasoning for switching to a wallet case in the first phone case post ( you can read that in full here) but I’ll recap and update here.įirst, since switching to a wallet case, I rarely carry a big catch-all bag. How has this phone case simplified your days? I guess that is always a concern, but I’m pretty trained to keep my wallet/phone combo nearby pretty much everywhere I go. Someone on instagram wondered if I worried about leaving my phone somewhere and losing all the cards inside. It could probably fit more, but the case starts to get a bit bulky and doesn’t close all the way with much else in there. In the little pocket behind the cards I keep my insurance card and maybe a few dollars. The wallet portion has three pockets and I keep 5 cards in them: my driver’s license, Costco card, Target Red card, personal credit card and business credit card. One of the biggest reasons I’m sold on this type of phone case is how convenient it is to have my most essential cards with me all the time. I’m a two-handed photo taker anyway, so I hold the phone with my left hand and snap the picture with my right. Here I am in the Redwood Forest taking a picture with the old case on: ![]() Is it hard to take photos with the case on? It is a bit more cumbersome than if you didn’t have the case on but as all my people will attest to, I am not a phone talker, so it really isn’t an issue for me. You just flip open and fold back the cover and it works great. I shared a photo on Instagram and there were a bunch of questions in the comments so I thought I would talk about this little life-changer on the blog today. It’s nothing fancy and cost only $15, but it totally makes me happy. I just received it in the mail yesterday and popped it straight away onto my phone. It was starting to crack a little (perhaps because I drop it often?!) and instead of ordering the same one as last time, I went with something new. The first case held up great for over a year. But I’m happy to report that using a wallet phone case truly has simplified my daily routine. The phrase ‘changed my life’ sounds a little intense for something as insignificant as a phone case, and it probably is. One year ago (almost to the day) I posted about the iPhone case that changed my life. ![]()
