What is a wallet anyway? If you’re anything like us then your
wallet is a breeding ground for Post Office receipts, coffee shop loyalty
cards, old cinema ticket stubs and scraps of paper with long-forgotten friends’
email addresses. But thanks to British innovation company Patrona, your wallet
will soon be fully integrated with your phone – and we don’t mean by way of
some dodgy app.
The Patrona Connector Wallet does away with the flappy folds
of traditional wallets and trims everything down to the bare essentials. The
wallet itself is basically a very firm and well-crafted slab of leather and
metal that magnetically sticks onto the back of your phone, allowing pockets
for your most important debit and credit cards.
Here’s a vid:
The iPhone version lets you store four cards, while the
smaller Samsung models allow just three. Actually using the wallet day to day
makes quite a lot of things simpler. No longer did we have to worry about
remembering both a phone and a wallet – those two life essentials were now
combined. And, as previously mentioned, using the Patrona has forced us to
clear out all the crap that builds up in our pockets. No longer have we the
option to store away that out-of-date bus ticket to forget about in the depths
of our wallets. You certainly won’t want to put any rubbish in the Connector Wallet,
namely because when your phone is out on the table of a restaurant or round at
a friend’s house, people will be able to see what you have in your wallet. So
thanks for that Patrona.
The wallets come in the Heritage Collection, Limited Edition
