With its own integrated tracking module compatible with Apple\u2019s Find My network and a traditional bifold design, ESR\u2019s Geo Wallet can be located using an iPhone if it goes missing and without the bulge of an AirTag stuffed inside.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
There\u2019s no shortage of wallets designed to accommodate an AirTag or credit card-sized trackers such as the Chipolo<\/a>, but by using its own tracking module with a rechargeable lithium battery that\u2019s only 1.6 millimeters thick, the bifold Geo Wallet offers the same functionality with room inside for more than just a handful of cards.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Inside the Geo Wallet are slots for nine cards, including two windowed slots for IDs, a pocket for 10 banknotes, and room to hold some pocket change. It\u2019s made from vegan leather with a layer of RFID-blocking material and is available in seven colors: carbon fiber, twilight black, cocoa, opal gray, aged leather, tangerine, and elephant gray.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n The battery in the Geo Wallet\u2019s tracking module is half as thick as the replaceable CR2032\u00a0coin cell batteries used in AirTags. ESR claims the thin battery will power the tracker for five months on just a two-hour charge, whereas Apple claims a fresh battery in an AirTag will power it for up to a year.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Five months of use is long enough for charging not to be a hassle, but to help keep the Geo Wallet slim, ESR has opted for a proprietary magnetic charging cable. That\u2019s yet another cable you won\u2019t want to lose because you can\u2019t locate that vital accessory using your smartphone.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n ESR is making the Geo Wallet available through a Kickstarter crowdfunding campaign<\/a>, which has already surpassed its $12,809 funding goal. Early bird backers can preorder one for $41, while the wallet is expected to sell for closer to $55 after the crowdfunding campaign is over.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n There\u2019s always the risk that crowdfunded products won\u2019t deliver the features and functionality promised \u2014 or anything at all. But there\u2019s less risk here. ESR is an established brand<\/a> that has delivered similar Find My compatible wallets<\/a> before. It\u2019s not breaking new ground with the Geo Wallet, but providing a slimmer solution to Apple\u2019s tracking hardware that still takes advantage of the extensive Find My network to improve the chances of it being found if lost.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
