Ekster Finder Card

£49

Losing your wallet might be one of the worst things that can happen – having to cancel all your cards, replace valuable IDs, and even losing your spare cash. For this reason, Ekster has developed the Finder Card that allows you to ring and locate your wallet using Apple Find My® technology. 

The Finder Card from Ekster connects with the Find My app on your phone and can be used to see where your wallet or luggage is on a worldwide map. This allows you to track down your belongings and see where you’ve left them should you have misplaced or dropped them. 

I love that the Finder Card is designed to look just like a normal card, so it can fit easily into any wallet or luggage and will be there in case you misplace your wallet or bag. If you realise you’ve lost your wallet within 90 metres of it, you set off an alert on the Finder card to effectively call your wallet. This is super useful as you can use the app to get close to your wallet and then call it for better retrieval. 

One of my favourite aspects of the Finder Card is that you can even set up the card to automatically send an alert to your phone or device should you move out of range from your Finder Card. This is a great feature, and it will be super helpful for those who are prone to leaving their wallet or bag behind by accident. However, I do worry that if you have a habit of leaving your wallet by accident, you’re likely to also forget your phone, so maybe set the alerts up to your friend or partner's phone as well. In fact, for this very reason, you can even share the tracking of your Finder Card with 5 friends securely for added safety! 

Overall, the Finder Card gives you great peace of mind knowing that your wallet is safe and can be located easily thanks to the Find My® tracking technology. The card is super slim, fits easily in your wallet, and can alert you should you leave your phone behind. If you’re thinking about buying yourself a new wallet, or want some added protection for your current one, then a Finder Card makes the perfect addition or gift for added peace of mind. 

Pros: 

• Slimline, water-resistant card that helps to find your wallet should you lose it. 
• Links with your phone to call your Finder Card, alert when you leave it behind, and help track down your wallet or bag on a global map. 
• Rechargeable battery that lasts up to 6 months.

Cons: 

• You do need to remember to charge your card periodically and remember to put it back into your wallet to ensure it will keep track of your wallet – not as ideal if you’re already a forgetful person.
