I don't use it everyday, but I do change between this, another long wallet (non-designer) and using my old Dior Trotter coin purse for essentials (cards, notes and coins) for convenience. I've not really had to baby this patent leather wallet too much apart from keeping out of direct sunlight. I did use it daily in the first year, but apart from keeping next to sharp corners and objects (like keys), I've put it in the same compartment as the book I'm reading, my diary and phone. I had to clean off a few specks of stubborn black marks on it tonight before I took photos of it by scratching the surface quite hard with my fingernail, but it doesn't seem to have roughened the surface at all. I would worry about keeping keys or any sharp metal or glass objects near it though
