Lately, I've been looking for a new wallet, something to streamline my essentials. While I love my current wallet, it's just too much to carry and now that I'm out and about more I really don't need it weighing me down.
While I've tried searching my typical go-to stores, I wasn't finding anything that really brought down the bulk of my wallet. I've seen guys with the slimmest wallets that slide right into their front pocket and I want that same level of convenience. After some research, I found that the leader in ultra-sleek smart wallets is Ekster.
Ekster's wallets were exactly what I was looking for … but their classic leather wallets didn't really go with my aesthetic.
When I found their Aluminum Cardholder in Metallic Rose, I knew it was perfect for me and I decided to go for it.
Here are 4 reasons why I'm loving my Ekster wallet:
1. Helps me avoid cash
Over the years I've definitely gravitated away from cash and after 2020, you won't see me pulling out any bills. Viruses and bacteria can live on most surfaces for about 48 hours, but cash can reportedly transport a virus for up to 17 days! Even more of a reason to ditch cash and with my Ekster wallet, it's easy.
The Metallic Edition Aluminum Cardholder holds up to 12 cards that pop out with just the press of a button and the new silicone band can hold the occasional cash I have. The band stays clean, doesn't stretch out over time, and is the perfect solution to eliminating a ton of unnecessary space.
2. Fits in any bag or pocket
With Ekster's Metallic Edition Aluminum Cardholder space is never an issue for me. It's super slim, at just 0.29" thick, and perfect for just slipping into my jacket pocket or holding in one of my cute but incredibly small purses (you know that trend).
I definitely don't miss fumbling around at the cash register. Now I can access my cards quickly, making my cashless transactions even faster.
3. Cool tech features
One thing I didn't anticipate loving was all of the amazing tech features Ekster brings to their wallets. The RFID blocking technology is added security to protect my card information from skimming and it's completely built-in. Now that the world is moving towards cashless, card security is more important than ever.
I also added Ekster's Tracker Card to my cardholder. It's solar-powered with one charge lasting up to 3 months and has a range of up to 200 feet. I can ring my wallet from my phone and vice versa - no more scrambling for either! Plus, I love that the tracker can be voice-activated with Google Assistant, Alexa, or Siri, and also be used to take selfies.
4. Metallic Rose color
Ekster's Metallic Edition Aluminum Cardholder is functional but thankfully the finishes also make it incredibly stylish. They use high-quality space-grade aluminum that is so durable it can withstand the average weight of a car without a dent.
While the classic cardholder comes in blue, green, red, space grey, and matte black, I'm loving the glossy look of their brand new Metallic Gold, Silver, and Rose finishes. I had to go with the Rose option since it's the perfect subtle hint of color and goes with all of my fits - from casual day-to-day to a dressier night out.
If you're afraid to take the leap, trust me you won't regret it. Take your wallet to the next level with Ekster and get style, functionality, and quality all in one.
