The Ekster Trackable Smart Wallet was now in my hand, and my finger was on the button.

I pressed the switch, and a stack of cards emerged from the wallet.

They were facing the wrong way, so the cashier could only see one of them.

“Cool,” she said.

Tricky to Manage

Ekster advertises its wallets as “Superslim trackable wallets with instant card access.”

While I cant deny the first two things, the “instant” part takes practice.

How Many Cards Am I Holding?

The aluminum card holder, which I also looked at, boasts a capacity of “1-15 cards.”

With fewer embossed cards, I could get one more in.

Would I keep this wallet in place of my current one?

Maybe, though I would definitely need to downsize my onboarding of plastic cards.

Its also good I dont carry around a lot of cash, since its a space hog.

I haven’t decided yet.

That cashier just wants the line to keep moving.
