    I can drop my physical license and it won’t be damaged. I drop my phone, that’s like an eggshell these days…

    Why would I want my ID on a fragile device, that thieves like to steal no less?

        You can’t do that in the US. To give you another ID they have to punch a hole in the first one, rendering it invalid. Otherwise everyone would just get multiple IDs and sell the extras to their underage friends.

      I am far less worried of losing my phone than my wallet. I have eyeballs or my hand on my phone probably every two minutes while I am awake. I use it to navigate and play music in my car. I use it for just about everything at work. I won’t forget it at home, or leave it in my car. If I don’t have it with me I will know pretty quickly and track my steps. My wallet on the other hand, I will go days without needing it. It is far more likely for me to not realize my wallet is missing than my phone. If I dropped and broke my phone, having to link my ID again is the least of my worries. Thank would be a lot easier than ordering a new physical copy.

        Well, I can say, I’ve never lost my wallet, and it’s highly unlikely I ever will, unless I’m ever robbed of course. My wallet stays in my pocket, 24/7, even when I’m sleeping.
