I swear I have to replace my card more than once per year, because it quits working. My latest bank+easycard combo was a bit warped, and I guess I broke a circuit inside by trying to straighten it.
I probably shouldn’t carry it loose in my pocket. What do y’all use? I don’t want to dig into my wallet every time. I think mobile payment only works for Samsung phones? Damn app won’t even let you screen grab to translate.
There are EasyCards with different form factors. Some are way smaller than a card, so they would not bend easily.
Get a key chain one or something.
This one is easy. Find a more secure place to keep it, where it will not get bent.
EDIT: @slawa 's ideas may make more sense given how you have handled the full size cards.

Oh really? That’s cool. Last time I bought one at 7-11 they had card-size and slightly-bigger-than-card size.
I found this post with some keychain designs. I remmeber seeing some of these now. They’re just all too cutesy ha
They don’t have that much variety in stores. Better look online.
e.g. 博客來-悠遊卡品牌旗艦館>款式>造型卡
I started using a slim wallet, which I carry in my front packet. EasyCard goes in really well there and can be protected, too.
I also added a pocket sticker to the back of my phone case. That helps keep the card accessible and protected from loose change, even when it’s in my pocket
I just use a hard plastic ID card holder. Has held up just fine over the years and constant use and shuffling around in my pocket.
Easy to find at 光南 Kuangnan. Just look for ID/card holders and usually they have quite a few to choose from.

Some examples of not girly cards. Though real men use Rilakkuma and Hello Kitty.
A small plastic easycard key fob. Works well for me, is tiny and is attached to my keys so I always have it.
I think in 2026 you’ll be able to use the NFC function on iPhones as an easycard to go on MRT etc. Android has already had this for a few years now.
Cool, thanks y’all. I’ll grab a keychain from Shopee
For some obscure reasons, bank/credit card plus EasyCard cards tend to lost the EasyCard functionality more easily. Happened to me with several combos, but never with proper EasyCards.
oh I’ve had it happen with both.
Also when I had a key card for my apt.
I think fobs are the way to go
I ended up getting one of these where they extract the chip out of a card and you stick it between your phone and case
