The Wallet TrackR is a new product that is designed to prevent the loss of wallets. By linking via Bluetooth to an iPhone, the Wallet TrackR can send an alert to your phone as soon as you walk away from said wallet. The product itself is a very thin device, which measures the same as a credit card; it fits perfectly into your wallet.
But what happens if you're not paying attention to your phone and you start walking away? Well this device has you covered. The app will take a GPS shot of the last known location of the wallet and tracker. This will help you narrow down the last seen location of the wallet.
For those who are forgetful, the device has you covered as well. There's a button in the app that activates an alarm so you can find the misplaced wallet. While the prototype has not gone into mass production yet, the company is hoping to receive funding to mass produce the Wallet TrackR.
