This Smart Wallet Sends A Mobile Alert With Its Location On Your Phone If You Misplace It

Technology

Have you ever lost your wallet? Or misplaced your phone? Chances are your answer is in the affirmative. I have a track record of misplacing one item a day and losing at least one a week. From the most trivial things to an iPhone, I have lost it all. And there's no easy way out if you are a hoarder like me. But there's almost nothing that technology can't fix. And what comes as a relief is that India now has a tech-savvy lifehack to save two of your most prized possessions - your wallet and your smartphone.

Cuir Ally, a luxury leather goods brand has launched their flagship product, the Voyager Smart Wallet, which can be connected to your mobile for notifications on days you forget it in your car or a restaurant. And in case it slips between a mattress or a cushion, you can track it by ringing the wallet with your phone. The Voyager smart wallet is slightly bigger than a traditional wallet, and comes with an integrated smart chip technology. The chip syncs with your phone through an APP and helps you keep both the phone and the wallet safe.

This leather wallet comes in three colours — brown, black and blue and is available on Fueladream.com, a Bangalore based crowdfunding platform for Rs 2499. Ranganath Thota, Founder & CEO, Fueladream.com says, "The Voyager perfectly combines cutting edge tech and convenience that's smart, stylish and perfect for all carrying needs." The price of the wallet will be revised to Rs 3499 after the crowdfunding campaign ends.

How does it work?

The smart wallet is connected to your phone with Bluetooth. Once connected, the two are always on the lookout for each other, synced up to a distance of 30 feet. Your smartphone will receive an alert the moment you forget your wallet behind. You can ring your wallet from your smartphone, to find its location. And if you are too careless and realize that your wallet is missing only after reaching home, you can track its GPS co-ordinates from the smart wallet app called Chipolo, available on both iOS and Android.

And in case you lose your smartphone, the wallet can be used to ring your phone, even when it's on silent mode.

What if you lose both, the wallet and your mobile?

You just have to login to your Chipolo account and the exact location of both your smart wallet and phone will be accessible to you.

Apart from the above features, the wallet can be used to click a selfie too. All you have to do is double-click the thumb friendly vertical card slot to click a photo on your phone.
