    Start wearing shirts with breast pockets and keep your wallet there.

    OR

    Get a wallet that doesn't bend.

    OR

    Get a money belt or puch that clips over your belt, and wear that somewhere it won't bend
  • My cards develop a bend in them but dont go as far as snapping.

    Since chip & pin came about however I've found that a lot of my cards have started pealing their top plastic coat. One shop assistant tried to "help" and ended up pulling off the whole signature strip from my debit card :(

    TBH its probably when you sit down or bend over that they get stressed and snap. Walk around with it in the back pocket, but take it out before sitting or bending. If you work in an office use a locking drawer to store it whilst working-far more secure than walking around with it in a pocket anyway.

    Don't you have a jacket or coat wth one of those inside pockets? OH always puts his in there, more secure, completely hidden and no snapping.
    Although thinking about it if we are out in summer when he has shorts on (not this year much obviously lol) and no jacket I end up having to put it in my handbag with my stuff. How many ladies end up walking around with 2 purses/wallets, 2 mobiles and 2 sets of keys in the handbag rofl.

    Get a bumbag or as the americans lovingly call it, a fanny pack.

    I am guessing you have too many and or are keeping them in a place where they are constantly under pressure like a back pocket (which you should never carry your wallet - easy pickings), certainly do not sit down with the wallet in the back pocket.

    Try reducing the amount of cards you carry or use two card wallets and carry them in an inside jacket pocket. If you don't want a 'Man Bag' carry a small rucksack!

    Get an aluma wallet but be careful because the cards fall out easily. I bought a chinese rip-off for £2.39 and free postage on ebay. There's loads of such aluminium wallets on there.
