Your last line about hiding reminds me of a peaceful species, the Nox, from Stargate SG-1, who had many abilities one of which was to become invisible and shield their community from detection. But funnily enough, they were so powerful and advanced they may has well have been treated like gods by anyone else.
I haven’t minded the extra bulk from cases used, but I also don’t use Otterbox or their alternate equivalents or have a high end phone. I’ve had a case for every smart phone since I’m a clutz sometimes and nervous about breaking it. To each their own 🤷 . But regarding the original topic, I’d feel weird without a physical wallet after so many years of using one.
I know you’re joking, but for those who don’t understand sarcasm it’s more akin to a rebirth name when changing it after religious epiphanies or extreme cases of cuttingoff communication from one’s origin family/tribe.
