This is an invention I don't think anybody has bothered manufacturing until now and I really don't understand why. The biometric wallet is the perfect solution for you, and me, to save ourselves from the very unpleasant event of losing it, or having it stolen. Unless it gets stolen by some very persistent and crafty thieves, this model from Aegis Innovations will protect your money, personal ID, driver's license, credit cards, etc. with the help of biometrics technology.

How does it work? Very simple. Upon purchase, you connect the TungstenW wallet to your PC, program it with your fingerprint and from then on, only you can open it. Not that practical in a worst case scenario where you get really sick in a public space and there is a need for your identification, but hopefully, there will be a gadgeteer in the usual crowd that is created during such events and he/she will realize that your wallet uses biometrics.

Pairing it with your mobile phone via Bluetooth will automatically activate an internal alarm (in the wallet) whenever the wallet is 10 feet farther than your phone. Now, if this feature can be very easily turned on and off at all times, I see its practical aspect, but if not, what happens when you come home, change outfits and take only your phone with you as you go outside to play with your dog?

It has a carbon case and is protected against RFID electronic thefts, which means that unless the thieves are very stubborn, they will probably give up on opening it, very quickly after stealing it from you. There are various coloring options available for it and also a model made out of Kevlar. This one costs $599, while the carbon fiber model $399. Quite expensive and there's always that problem of sitting down on a very hard piece of wallet. Learn more about it on Gearlog.
