Thing of the Day: Geo Wallet - MagSafe Wallet with Full Find My iPhone Support
Miscellaneous / / April 03, 2023
It is half the price of Apple's iPhone Leather Wallet.
An interesting new project has appeared on Kickstarter - an iPhone wallet called Geo Wallet with a folding leg, a finger loop and synchronization with the Find My iPhone service.
The wallet is attached to the iPhone using MagSafe, and the manufacturer claims that the magnets hold twice as strong here as in the original Apple leather wallet (1500 and 700 g, respectively).
The Kickstarter page calls Geo Wallet the first third-party wallet with Find My iPhone support. But it doesn't work like an Apple wallet. The original iPhone Leather Wallet does not have a battery, so the user can only see where and at what moment the wallet was disconnected from the smartphone. Geo Wallet works like AirTag, allowing you to track the location of the wallet at any time using the Locator iOS application.
This function has a drawback: the wallet will have to be charged. However, you will only have to do this once every 3 months. Charging is magnetic and powered by a USB-C power supply, it will take about 1.5 hours to fully recharge the charge.
The wallet is compatible with any iPhone as long as it has MagSafe (whether on the phone itself or on the case) and iOS 14.5 or later. It holds 3 cards, is made of vegan leather in black or caramel brown, and weighs 83 grams.
Geo Wallet was priced at $39 (≈3,000 rubles), but it can be pre-ordered at the crowdfunding stage on Kickstarter for 31 dollars (≈2,400 rubles). Sending orders is expected in May, the project has already collected the amount necessary for the release.
