Did you know 43% of most known cases of identity theft occur through stolen wallets and not hackers? That’s what the makers of the Ping wallet are banking on. Ping is a super slim aluminum Bluetooth® Smart wallet. When you take your cards out or forget to put them back in, it emits a sound. If you lose your Ping or it goes out of range of your smartphone, your smartphone emits a sound to either help you find it or alert you it is missing. If your smartphone goes out of proximity, the Ping wallet emits a sound as well. The wallet is a current Kickstarter project with a few more dollars to go by the deadline. This option for a Saturday night might be a good bet if you decide to have too much fun out on the town, at least you can keep track of your money and identity.
