What’s petite, tan and follows you everywhere? No, it’s not the girl you met last week, it’s the Ekster Parliament leather bi-fold smart wallet with worldwide GPS tracking, a smart bit of kit that just might save your bacon.
Losing your phone is one thing, but losing a wallet – with countless cards to cancel, receipts to the expense and all the little bits of vital info men gather and store – can be a real ball-buster.
That’s where this little beauty comes in handy. Not only is this a great minimalist solution to that hamburger-sized man-wallet you carry around (the one that has you sitting on an angle), but pair it with the Ekster tracker card – a little tech magic that slides into the wallet’s cardholder – and you can link wallet and smartphone via Bluetooth.
This gives you live updates on your wallet’s location, wherever you (or it) is in the world. What’s better, the card has a two-way ringer system; never again will you spend ages searching for your wallet only to find it’s been in your suit jacket pocket the whole time. You’ll also harness the power of the sun thanks to the tracker card’s solar panel charger, which turns three hours of sunlight into a month’s charge.
The tracker card hides discretely within the chic cardholder system. Up to nine cards can be stored and accessed via a quick-access lever mechanism, which neatly pops them up and clicks back into place, kind of like a gun magazine.
You’d think all these features would compromise the size and portability of the smart wallet, but it really doesn’t. The Ekster Parliament is only 10cm long and half as wide, making it pocket-sized and as functional as your drinking habit.
