I hear ya Jim. My card holder is a bit higher-end though. It's actually closer to a drybag for a cell phone because it is fully enclosed and the lanyard attaches to a an attached lip that doesn't give entry to the pouch. I think it would last a quick dunking and its been through the ringer on splashes but probably not a capsizing. I believe there are policies in place to get replacements if needed. Now that I have a YakPak3, I am going to place it into top pouch (dry pouch for maps) and use it as my tackle bag. Then I'll no longer need to worry about it since I don't need it visibly my persons anymore and my tackle will be with me where ever I fish anyhow.

Like the net rule most DFG officers patrolling saltwater knew that rule was BS and never enforced it on the water.
I just want to stick my license in my wallet and not deal with it, this works better for me.
It's funny I've had few guys on various boards act like sealing your license is stupid or unnecessary but my take is the post isn't for them since these guys probably do not fish that much, so naturally it's not an issue or unnecessary for them 
It's all a matter of perspective or where your coming from I guess.
