iWallet Protects Your Money [$600 Carbon Fiber Wallet Features Bluetooth, Fingerprint Scanner]

iWallet

Enter the iWallet, a $600 wallet that is made out of a hardshell of carbon-fiber and Kelvar, and hard locks shut, keeping evildoers away from your cash. The company making these (iWallet USA) says that the wallet was developed by ‘engineers that work in projects with NASA’.

The iWallet features a Bluetooth connection that tethers to your mobile phone. When the iWallet is 15-30 feet away from your phone, it starts alerting you with an audio alarm – which could potentially keep you from losing your wallet or phone, unless you lose both in which case you are out of luck.

That’s all the Bluetooth does, a feature keeping track of how much cash you have on hand or maybe an app that keeps track of how much credit you have on your cards would be cool – but probably hard to code. A TFTS writer can dream, can’t he?

The hardshell wallet also features a fingerprint scanner to keep undesirables from getting into your wallet, if you do lose it. Although I’m sure the technology is improved, I once was issued a university notebook that came with a fingerprint scanner and it often took me a few tries to get the thing to unlock – imagine being first in line at Starbucks and being unable to unlock your wallet.

At any rate, the iWallet is shipping in a few weeks at a steep cost of $600 for the carbon fiber/kevlar (aka bullet proof) model or only $300 for the fiberglass one that doesn’t exactly sound secure to me. They’re undoubtedly cool gadgets, but the price is a bit high right now to be practical, unless you carry US Treasury Bonds around in your pocket.
