Another smart wallet contender, other than just location tracking I'd like to see a few more features before I'll bite though. Or I'll just use Apple Pay... 😄
@richardcanneman can it count the cash I'm carrying and display it on my Apple Watch? 🙌🏼😜

I love the one-click feature and the design. Best slim wallet I've seen so far! And plus, the video was pretty hilarious with the man desperately trying to get his wallet back from the girl haha
One question though. Is it pressure-proof? It seems like the one-click part may be made of plastic and it would be pretty disastrous if I sat on a chair with the wallet inside my back pocket.
@aidan_k_lee Hi Aidan! Thanks for the positive feedback. To answer your question, YES it is pressure proof :) The casing is made of solid aluminium and is wrapped in leather. The prototypes have gone through a wide range of heavy duty testing to make sure they last for years and I can assure you the wallets can handle the pressure ;)
@tnsrig We are also very much into smart-phone payments! Thats why we try to slim our wallets down to the bare necessities. One of our stretch goals is to include NFC chips in our wallets.

I like the slim wallet approach. Tracking will help me understand where I lost it and maybe I can contact the place fast enough to "save" it. I like the reverse leather look. Good luck @richardcanneman@oliviermom
I've been waiting for a slim wallet with built-in tracker for years. This looks amazing. I just backed the campaign and I'm super excited to get my brown Senate wallet in May.
Hi there, we have been super excited and been working hard on our new start-up for the past 6 months and yesterday we’ve launched our Kickstarter project (funded within 14 hrs).
Ekster Wallets is more than just another smart wallet. It is the first ultra-slim trackable wallets that provide instant card access with the click of a button. The two-way tracking feature prevents you from ever losing your wallet or phone again. We would really appreciate it if you checked out our campaign and kickstarter project: https://www.kickstarter.com/proj...
And let us know what you think!!
We'll be responding to comments here throughout the day.
Very cool work guys. Love the design and the approach is refreshing. It really stands out from the plethora of slim wallets Kickstarter is infested with. Great job!
BTW, @thanasis - not sure how things are stateside, but where I live Apple Pay and the rest are basically non existent. We're still using old school payment forms on this side of the atlantic...
