Volterman Smart Wallet ($68-$385)
Stylish leather wallets are a dime a dozen, but stylish leather wallets that charge your phone, offer up WiFi, and have a built-in anti-theft camera? Now that’s truly innovative.
Meet Volterman, “the world’s most powerful smart wallet.” Smart wallet. We didn’t even know the term existed until we discovered this guy, and after checking out the features, we’d have to agree—it’s not just pretty smart, but pretty damn powerful too.
Built inside a sleek and stylish premium leather profile are several technological features that make the Volterman a lot more useful than just storing cash and cards. For starters, it’s equipped with several features that solve everyday wallet issues, like a Bluetooth alarm system that notifies you every time you leave your wallet behind, a global GPS system that helps prevent loss and theft by tracking your wallet in real-time, and even a built-in camera that snaps pics of anyone holding your wallet once it’s activated in “Lost Mode.”
There are also several convenience add-ons that make everyday modern life a little bit easier, like a built-in 2600 mAh power bank capable of charging your phone both wirelessly and via a complimentary USB cable, as well as a built-in WiFi hotspot that ensures you’ve got internet access everywhere you go, with costs supposedly 3 times cheaper than regular roaming charges.
Beyond the standard wallet, Volterman also offers a similarly outfitted card holder, passport cover, and travel case, both individually and together as a single set gift box package for a discounted price. Unfortunately you won’t be able to get your hands on any of them just yet as they’re still in prototype mode while Volterman secures their remaining funding, but they do have an active Indiegogo page that will help them get there, with first deliveries estimated for February 2018 once they do.
