It's been

My mom asks me where I got the new wallet. I say:

It's been in the box the whole time, I just didn't take it out to use it. Or

It was in the box the whole time, I just didn't take it out to use it.

Which one is better?

Thanks!

Either would be okay, but they are both run-on sentences. You need 'but' after the comma or a period after 'time' followed by a second sentence beginning with 'I'.
