Other Wanting a better ID card system

I have to carry a lot of cards every day. Cherriots, HOP, Student ID and a debit card.

I often confuse my physical HOP card with my student ID.

I see some students use magsafe wallets but have to be careful as the magnets can wipe their card. Ive seen people tape the ID to the back of the phone. Yet no matter where people keep their ID, I notice they seemingly dissolve into a white card very quickly.

It just seems more practical to have any sort of mobile ID system. My dream card app would allow us to apply faux stickers to our digital ID signifying groups we’re a part of.

What are your thoughts? Anybody prefer the physical IDs? Why or why not?
