Basically a straight upgrade from all the people (usually women for some reason ? Small/no pockets was the argument my gf made) who keep their credit card in the back of their phone case and also have apple pay set up.
I've been using a magsafe card holder ever since I switched to GrapheneOS. Been working surprisingly well - I thought I'd forget my cards way more often, but it's actually fine.
The only two negatives I've had so far is that my snake got her head stuck in my card holder's finger loop once. And the powerful magsafe magnet fried the magnetic strip on a loyalty card I have in there, so the cashier has to type my customer number in by hand every time.

I don't even have a physical card (I have a virtual one). But fuck cards, it's a waste of plastic.
How do you pay with virtual card without google pay?
You're saving a lot of money that way
Saving on what?
Card fees. I'll use Wise for reference here. They have a free account that you can sign up for. If you want to get a plastic card, that'll be circa 4β¬ for the card, something for shipment and then a recurring plastic card fees.

Goto bank, wait in line, show your ID, they give you some fancy pieces of paper and decrement the number in a table somewhere for the "virtual card". You give the fancy pieces of paper to a cashier (who keeps basically none because capitalism) as payment.
I just don't bother in the first place. Don't like having a single point of failure.
