Retrofitting a wallet with a battery, bluetooth tracker, USB stick, RFID protection and even a cell phone? No problem and not even expensive, as our purchase advice shows.

Probably the most popular smart feature of a wallet is an RFID protection against money or data theft. But Bluetooth trackers are also increasingly finding their way into wallets. In this buying guide, we present wallets that already have these and other functions with them. We will also show cost-effective solutions to “retrofit” RFID blockers, Bluetooth trackers, power banks, multi-tools, USB sticks or even an entire cell phone. Pitaka MacWallet UE The MacWallet UE from Pitaka is an exceptional wallet. On the one hand, it consists partly of aramid fibers, also known as Kevlar. The material is particularly robust, light, heat and cold resistant. On the other hand, the wallet is made up of several layers that hold together magnetically. Each layer uses a larger magnet as the axis, several smaller magnets can be flush or in the 45 – Open the degree angle “snap in”. So the purse either keeps closed or reveals its contents.

When opened, the buyer has access to cards or banknotes, provided he has also ordered the banknote compartment. That works surprisingly well and reliably. However, the MacWallet UE is also neat. Including the bank note, it measures 10, 3 × 7.1 × 1.6 centimeters. Despite its size, it only holds five cards and around four banknotes. In it, two metal plates protect a card from unauthorized RFID access.

Visually, in terms of its workmanship and its unusual, modular concept, the Pitaka MacWallet UE knows how to please. However, it is too big for us and does not hold enough cards. Nevertheless, it is a real eye-catcher. If you want to afford it: It costs 89 Euro, the bill compartment costs again 30 Euro.

On the first it should 10 Lumen, which corresponds roughly to the light output of a weak smartphone LED. In the second stage, the Lite Wallet supposedly manages up to 144 Lumen, which far outshines the flashlight function of a smartphone. The light distribution is largely homogeneous. It’s nice that Ledlenser not only offers charging via USB-C but also wireless Qi chargers (the best 2020) supported. The Lite Wallet offers RFID protection for the cards.

Ledlenser Lite Wallet (9 pictures) Unfortunately, the Lite Wallet has some disadvantages, which probably disqualify it for many users. On the one hand, it is comparatively large empty with the dimensions of 9.6 × 7.0 × 1.6 centimeters, especially thick and with a weight of 115 Grief right heavy. However, only five cards and a few banknotes fit in here. If you squeeze in more, you can no longer close the push button properly. There is no compartment for change.

In addition, the Ledlenser Lite Wallet is about 70 Euro very expensive. Sure, the flashlight is good and bright. However, there are even lighter ones that are also compact for a fraction of the money. They are not integrated into the wallet right away. We can still easily imagine an application. The bright LED at night could blind potential attackers and make them flee.

The Ledlenser Lite Wallet can be purchased on the manufacturer’s website.

Retrofit Bluetooth trackers and USB sticks There are simple ways to upgrade your cherished wallet with Bluetooth trackers. Bluetooth finders in credit card format such as the Tile Slim (test report) are particularly practical. It is only about three millimeters thick and still offers a decent range. Its disadvantage: the battery is permanently installed. After all, according to the manufacturer, it should last three years. The Orbit Card-Tracker (test report) also comes in credit card format and even has a rechargeable battery. We have summarized all test reports and a lot more in our key finder theme world. Including our comparison test: Twelve Bluetooth key finders.

For those who regularly save data on a USB stick and always want to carry it with them, there are solutions in credit card form. The USB stick from Aricona linked in the price comparison offers 8 GB of storage and is largely made of metal.

More offers in the Heise price comparison Wallet with integrated bluetooth finder If you don’t want an external key finder, you can take a closer look at the Smart Mini Wallet from Fixed. There is room for around eight cards and banknotes, there is no change pocket. The special feature is a compartment for a Bluetooth tracker in a classic form. This fits in there well, there is no risk of losing it. The associated app also does its job properly.

Unfortunately, the Fixed Smart Mini Wallet consists of a very thick leather, so that it already has a Bluetooth tracker and no additional content Thickness of almost 1.5 inches comes. The tracker alone makes up 0.5 millimeters of this. But there are now countless purses on the market from around 19 Euros that already integrate Bluetooth. A selection can be found here in the price comparison.

More offers in the Heise price comparison RFID blocker Wallets without their own change pocket are enjoying growing popularity. More and more wallets are already integrating RFID protection by default. This is to prevent unauthorized persons from debiting NFC-enabled bank cards or accessing data. The c`t colleagues show how easy this works in the article “With 29 – Euro payment terminal: It’s so easy to fish contactless cards “.

Some of these wallets only cost a few cents on Amazon. However, the retailers refinance themselves through the shipping costs that are incurred for each individual product.

RFID blockers are even cheaper. Ten cases in credit card format cost here 23 Cent including shipping costs. RFID protection cards in credit card form are a bit more expensive, but still affordable. Like a bun in a burger, they cover the outer cards in the wallet and thus protect the NFC cards against data theft. We find slots for wallets without their own change pocket that have space for bid a few coins. The Xcase Coin Case is not very cheap at just under 4 euros, but is made of metal. This makes it particularly robust and at the same time protects the cards behind it from unauthorized RFID access.

More offers in the Heise price comparison Mini cell phones and power banks Warning, now it’s getting wild: If you like, you can even have a fully functional Carry a credit card-shaped cell phone with you The cell phones are suitable for little more than making calls or sending and receiving SMS. For this they are with a price from 30 Euro very cheap and with a thickness of 5 millimeters are comparatively little bulky. An interesting alternative as an emergency mobile phone. What else is there in this area, we have contribution purchase advice: Emergency cell phones to 20 euros combined.

Power banks are without question very practical. After all, there is hardly anything more annoying than when the battery of your smartphone or Bluetooth headphones runs out of power at the wrong time. But what use is the best power bank if it is not at hand at the crucial moment? Battery packs that fit in a wallet can help here.

The Revolt Powerbank Mini offers a capacity of 2500 mAh. That is enough to charge the empty battery of most smartphones by around half. Practical for older smartphones and many gadgets: A micro USB plug is permanently attached to the power bank. Similar to an RFID blocker, the NFC cards behind it are protected from data or money being tapped. However, it has one major disadvantage: it is slightly larger than a normal exercise card and therefore does not fit into some wallets.

If you want, you can buy a wallet with an integrated power bank. These are not even expensive, as the Xcase protective cover shows. It integrates a 2500 – mAh -Powerbank and also has five compartments for cards or banknotes, which are also protected against unauthorized RFID access.

If you want that, you don’t have to buy a new wallet for it – there is appropriate protection for a few cents. But the Bluetooth trackers, which are very practical in everyday life, also fit in every wallet. Whoever wants, gets from 20 Euro wallets that have already integrated a Bluetooth finder.
