Battery life is up to six months for the iOS tracker, and about three months for the Android version.

I’ve never lost my wallet.

More minimalist

While the Ekster Parliament is my favorite, I have tested a few other Ekster models. The Pro Card Holder and Card Holder ditch the leather exterior for a sleeker look and come in some fun colors and patterns like hammered magma and carbon fiber. It retains the trigger and other features and is ideal if you prefer to travel as light as possible. I’ve given a couple as gifts, and my oldest son uses the Ekster card holder and loves it.

Space is limited when you choose a simple wallet like this, with no room for coins and only limited space for bills. But there are optional extras. Standard extras include a Multi-Tool Card ($49)A Money clip back plate ($29)and A Coin Tray ($29). The coin tray is very handy and can also hold a key, but you wouldn’t want to add too many extras, or your wallet will bulge.

After all, the Exeter Parliament has been in my inside pocket for several years now, and it still works perfectly. I never miss my old fat wallet, and I still enjoy squeezing that trigger every time I reach for my card. The tracker has also been a lifesaver several times, reassuring me that I left my wallet in my other jacket and wasn’t wandering off somewhere. It’s a bit pricey, but it may be the last wallet you need to buy.
