@The Analrapist: Half Analyst Half Therapist: I assume, based on the BSG reference, that you turn off the WiFi on your Zune since you wouldn't want the toasters to invade your OS on your networked device, right?
Going off on an inappropriate tangent, but how is it that the systems on Galactica talked to each other if they had no networking? When they send the command to jump is it going through an old RS232 cable? And, really, isn't that just a form of networking anyway? Clearly the show was beyond me.
This cult is going too far. I want you to know, when I find you all lying in beds with purple sheets over your torso's, a five dollar bill and three quarters in each of your pockets, and brand new black-and-white Nike Windrunners on your feet, I will remember this moment.

@The Analrapist: Half Analyst Half Therapist: I don't worship certain products or certain people, so I have been stripped of all stardom. It's better this way (sometimes they don't notice me sneak in).

@Mike Zuniga: That was Unexpected: I love that guy. He's totally right about the lava-hot inside, and you gotta love the mysteriously frozen-solid chunks floating in the magma.

You know this would be perfect not for credit cards/ID but rather for NFC cards (e.g. Oyster card). No need to ever remove them, just wave your phone when you want to get past the barriers.
@Odin: Yeah, just what I was thinking - the kind of card that you just wave in front of a device and it grants access, I have one to get into our offices that I never remove from my wallet, so I know that it'd work in the sleeve...but I'd worry about random interference issues (yes, I'm a bad geek, I don't actually know how the card that I use everyday works...). I do know that you can't carry two of those cards together (or at least when I had two, I couldn't - the signals would cancel each other out, had to pull them out of my wallet & away from each other to make them work).
@Lupus_Yonderboy: Most likely it has an RFID chip. A reader sends out a signal that is used to power the chip. Once powered the chip sends back a burst of information.
@chasper14:
Thing is though carrying everything in one has it's advantages too. The pro's of splitting your valuables up means that if one's gone you haven't lost everything. The bad thing is though is it means you have more to keep track of and thieves can quite easily pick something off.
Having it all in one means that while you do lose everything if it gets nicked you also only have to keep track of one thing. Plus you can keep it somewhere secure on your person quite easily.
@kebbin: I think what they mean is that they (the company making/selling these) don't personalize them rather than it being impossible to personalize. Everything is personizable but not everything is sold with the option to at purchase.
@GrossGreg: I knew someone was going to bring up that damn film. I don't trust it half as much as the Incase Slider case which, after owning several cases, is clearly the best. Both slim and protects the screen.
@Davy Grolton: There is a raised ridge around the edge so if your phone falls on a flat surface, it won't land one the screen and crack. Nothing protects against a poke to the middle of the screen except a clear plastic enclosure.
I just got mine in the mail today, and so far I love it. I was able to squeeze three cards into it - my id, my credit card and my health insurance card.
I'm not really worried about loosing it since I keep it in my front pocket, and have kept my phone, small card holder, cash, plus car keys in my front pockets for years without an issue. Its a risk I take, but I would be taking the same risk if I kept it all in my purse and it was stolen from me. Maybe the gents have more to worry about since they're not used to carrying everything in one place.

Thief 1: Do you see that awesome iphone that guy has? I think I am going to take it.
Thief 2: yeah I will distract him while you take it.
Thief 1: Whoa, jackpot. Credit Cards and an iphone. Today is my lucky day!

I would add a giant negative: it doesn't protect the screen and precludes you from using another case that does. The screen is the part that breaks.
