TBH, I'm on your wife's side with this one. (There, I said it, 1st time for everything.) If I pulled that wallet out of my pocket with my wife next to me she wouldn't exactly be happy.
Actually years ago I stopped using traditional wallets that ended up getting stuffed full of papers (mostly things like receipts) and bought myself a thin Secrid wallet like this https://secrid.com/en-global/miniwallet-original-black and haven't looked back. I almost always pay by card so its usefulness to me is clear but it depends how you generally pay for things.
I feel your pain. Moulded to the backside after years of carrying in the back pocket it is not something one replaces at an instant. Half the internal linings are likely missing and torn, it all feels so natural in the hand. And the brand name says it all, it's a Relic.👍
I got myself a Bellroy Card Pocket about 5-6 years ago and am impressed with the size and quality and how well it lasts. Room for cards, cash and change and even a small slot for a SIM card. Another member here got me on to it, now passing on the good advice.
