Why wasn't this just integrated into the bottom of the case making it nice and tidy?

Surely touch and go is the way now.

Never let your bank card out of you sight as I just had mine used on car parking in New York and i've never been there. I believe it happens because restaurants in the US take your card away to log the amount on the card. I never allow this now as I use their machine not the staff. I never let anyone touch my bank card.

completely relevant to the conversation. :rolleyes:
