The humble wallet has gone high-tech with the launch of the iWallet. While it sounds like a cutting-edge musical device, the iWallet is actually a technologically advanced wallet designed to protect your cash and identity.
This hard case wallet is fitted with a biometric reader. Just like the doors of a top secret spy agency, the wallet only opens when it recognizes your fingerprint. The high-end versions are also made from tamper proof carbon fiber and carbon and Kevlar blends.
Now, your common pickpocket may not know about those measures when he pinches your purse, but iWallet has thought of that too. The wallet is linked via Bluetooth to your cell phone, and an alarm will sound if they are separated by more than 15 to 30 feet. You might want to keep that in mind when lending your cell phone to friends!
The iWallets use advanced technology developed by engineers working with NASA, so I was surprised to see they start from $299. While the styling may not be as appealing as a designer wallet, the security features make it worth the splurge.
