If my own anecdotal experience is anything to go by, we tend to carry IDs in the phone wallet case. Lose one, lose the other. Sigh.

The worst part is, I know this is a terrible idea, and yet I carry all my eggs in the very same basket.

At least I've had the good sense to leave my physical driver's licence in the car I use 99% of the time after we got a driver's licence app - I can now simply show the police my cellphone with a QR code and a control animation on it, and they can verify my licence class and expiry date on the spot.

Maybe I'm weird then, I have a case with all my physical cards and I carry it in the opposite pocket from my phone

I’m one of the only people I know with a wallet style phone case with cards/id in it but I think I’ve just decided to go back to a separate wallet/card case. Will help thin down the phone too since I’ll probably just go caseless.
