What is a Wallet TrackR?
The Wallet TrackR fits easily into any wallet - just like a credit card. When combined with the free Wallet TrackR iPhone app, it becomes a powerful new tool to keep you from losing your wallet. When the Wallet TrackR gets separated from your iPhone or iPad, the Wallet TrackR app gently alerts you that you may be leaving your wallet behind.
The app also takes a GPS snapshot of where your wallet was at the moment of separation in case you didn't hear the alert. Tap a button within the app to make your wallet "ring" in case your looking for it around the house or in the dark. The technology works both ways, which means your wallet can beep to alert you that you're leaving your phone behind. Works with your iPhone 4S, iPhone 5, new iPad, iPad mini and the new iPod Touch.

Our Inspiration
The Wallet TrackR Story:
My roommate always misplaced his wallet and it caused him to run late. At that moment, I realized he wasn't the only one with this problem. I called Chris, and my friend from college, to brainstorm on solutions to this problem. Our goal was a simple and seamless solution to prevent the problem of misplacing their wallets. Wallet TrackR was designed to be the thinnest solution possible Most people place their wallet in their back pocket, so the design is sturdy enough to sit on.
We found out most people fill their wallets with receipts, cards and cash, so we wanted to make sure that there was enough space for the Bluetooth device(Wallet Trackr). As for the wallet, we called up our good friend Franc Fernandez, who is famous for designing Lady Gaga's Meat dress in 2010. He helped us design our wallets with dedicated pockets to hold the Bluetooth devices. He also designed a luxury wallet, using top grade patent leather with striking details to stand out from the standard wallet.
