Usually people have some kind of bag of goodies with them (pamphlets and whatnot). It would be much better to put them in there.
The heat from having a condom in a wallet against your butt all day is bad for the latex, as is the constant rubbing motion from sitting, walking, opening and closing your wallet, etc. When condoms sit in your pocket against your body all day and then get taken out at night, there's a significant temperature change. All of those things make the latex more likely to wear down, make the pouch more likely to become damaged or torn, make the condom more likely to become brittle and/or break, and if the condom is spermicidally lubricated, can will make the spermicide less effective.
