The problem is that for each day you carry them around, there's an unknown percentage chance (lets call it X) that the condom will fail. These percentages are additive.
If you carry the condom for a month, it's got a 30X additional chance of failure.
Now maybe 30X is only 1/100, but it's more than 0%, isn't it?
In matters of protection and prevention, I would not want to do anything that increases the chance of failure.
I've not looked at a pack of Trojan2Go recently, as they're not available in the UK, but I am prepared to bet that they caution you not to keep them in your wallet for any length of time.

The problem is that most people are perfectly happy with ordinary foiled condoms, and that the possible alternates are much more expensive so there's not much point in developing them.
