It should be dead simple for one person to give out one’s contact details.

I carry around cards with that info, but we should have come up with something better since Victorian times, surely.

So, I demand that someone start making replacement shells for the rears of mobile phones. They should be ~$10 and have machine-readable info on them.

Here’s my attempt at a way to give away my name, phone, email addr, and web site addr. Custom stickers cost about $4 each. A good portion of smart phones understand QR codes these days.

If you mimic this idea, learn from my mistake and leave some contrasting white border around the edges if your shell is dark. It takes a few extra seconds and angles to read my black on gray.
