Hi guys! Have you ever lost your wallet? Be honest, we all know it happens far too often. Today, I bring news of smart wallets that feature GPS tracking, power banks to charge your phone(s), and even take a picture of someone in the event it is stolen.
At this point in time, the concept of these wallets is still pretty new and there aren't too many options to choose from. I have a feeling they will really take off and, someday in the future, these types of wallets may be the norm with our current wallets being old news.
Here's a list of some smart wallets out there right now sorted from most to least anticipated:
Volterman
As indicated from the image, this wallet can charge your mobile devices! Each wallet has a built-in power bank and comes with a few small cables that connect from the wallet to a mobile device to charge it. And EVEN BETTER it offers wireless charging by placing your phone on top of the wallet. A very convenient feature for sure, but that's just the tip if the iceberg.
It also offers:
*Built-in GPS tracking for finding your wallet OR finding your phone.
*Offers a Wi-Fi hotspot
*A camera that takes pictures of anyone that steals it and then automatically sends those pictures to your phone.

Ekster
Second in this list is the Ekster wallet. The primary reason I felt it deserved second place on this list is because of it's different options. You can choose from their selection of different models and whether to have the tracker card with it or not. If you like the tracking features of these smart wallets, but you still want to keep your current wallet, then you can simply buy their tracking card, put it in your wallet, and there you go! You can now track your wallet!
Ekster also offers:
*Solar rechargeable! That's right, leave it out in the sun for 3 hours and you get a month's worth of charge.
*Card slider - press the button and your cards pop up in a neat fashion to easily choose the card to use.
*RFID blocking

Wocket
Possibly the most "smart" wallet out of this list. With it's ability to store all of you cards into one for convenient storage and card swiping it definitely stands out. It by itself does not have a spot to store cash, but it does have a purchasable add-on for cash.
More features~:
*Rechargeable year long battery
*Unlockable by pin or voice
*Data encrypted

Overall!! I definitely recommend you guys out there trying out one of these smart wallets. There are others out there, try looking for them! Plenty of options for them being new on the market, so possible Christmas present? :)
On a side note, I wish there were more options for smart purses. Let me know if you know of any cool smart purses out there! Also, please toss some feedback my way for what you think of this post! Thanks everyone~!
