1. A mobile device, comprising:
a first component and a second component foldable with respect to one another between a first configuration and a second configuration;
a card reader disposed within the first component or the second component, wherein the card reader is operable to transmit data with a contactless card when the contactless card is positioned between the first and second components, wherein the contactless card positioned according to an alignment feature along the first component or the second component; and
an exterior screen interface along an exterior side of the second component, the exterior screen interface providing positioning feedback, generated by a processor of the card reader, of the contactless card when the contactless card is sandwiched between the first and second components when the first and second components are in the second configuration.
