Stympro Tech has introduced a smart wallet that aims to offer practical functionalities for iPhone users in addition to its card-holding capability.
According to New Atlas, the Stympro 4-in-1 Smart Wallet, currently featured in a Kickstarter campaign, is designed to securely hold up to three credit cards, accessible through a thumb-notch mechanism. However, this wallet is more than just a card storage.
Stympro Smart Wallet Leveraging MagSafe Technology
The Stympro smart wallet features a built-in magnet that leverages MagSafe technology, initially introduced with the iPhone 12, allowing it to attach to compatible iPhones.
This magnetic connection serves a dual purpose: not only does it keep the wallet within easy reach, but by slightly opening the wallet, it transforms into a versatile phone stand that can be positioned horizontally or vertically.
Moreover, the wallet is equipped with a 2,000-mAh battery, providing a supplementary power source for iPhones, specifically models 12, 13, and 14. While it might not fully charge a phone, it offers a few hours of extra usage before access to a standard charger is available.
Incorporating Apple's "Find My" technology, the wallet also offers a tracking feature. Should the wallet be misplaced, users can use the Find My app on their iPhone to locate or lock it.
It also has an integrated speaker emitting beeping sounds to help users pinpoint the wallet's location. With a slim profile measuring only 10 mm thick, the Stympro wallet has garnered significant attention on Kickstarter.
It has raised almost $9,000 from its initial goal of $1,274 with over 20 days remaining in the campaign. Interested consumers can get their own 4-in-1 smart wallet through the super early bird deal, priced at around HK$541 (approximately US$69).
This venture marks Stympro Tech's inaugural crowdfunding campaign, prompting potential supporters to exercise caution given the uncertainties surrounding project outcomes.

Five Distinct Functions of Stympro Smart Wallet
The smart wallet boasts five distinct functions: distance alarm, location tracking, wireless charging, magnetic phone stand, and a built-in power bank with a capacity of 2000mAh.
Through pairing with an iPhone, users can gain access to real-time location updates, sound playback, and left-behind notifications for the wallet.
The wallet's slim and lightweight design incorporates premium materials and robust built-in magnets for secure attachment on the go. The wallet's built-in power bank can also fully charge a smartphone as a wireless charger.
The Stympro wallet accommodates 1-3 cards and employs an inner dynamic tension spring to ensure their security. Retrieving a card is simplified, requiring only a press of the finger into the bottom cutout for immediate access.
Despite potential challenges like manufacturing and fulfillment delays, the Stympro Tech team noted that it is committed to transparent communication and updates throughout the product's journey and delivery process.
