Not only is the Chipolo x Secrid cycling Miniwallet minimal in size, it’ll also protect your cards and it's whereabouts can be tracked through your phone.
High-end Dutch wallet maker Secrid has teamed up with the trackable Bluetooth card maker Chipolo for this new mini-sized wallet. It's very compact and not much bigger than a credit card at 102x65x21mm. It weighs 72g.
The Miniwallet features an alloy sleeve that will hold up to four embossed cards, or six flat cards, all protected from RFID communications.
The wallet's wraparound design has sleeves for up to four more cards, and a clever banknote wrap.
The alloy sleeve has a quick-access trigger, enabling fast access to your cards.
Chipolo’s credit-card sized tracker has a built-in 110dB ring when used with the companion app (IOS or Android), or Find My (IOS) or Find Hub (Android) features to locate it.
The card also features a button and a quick double-tap will make your phone ring so it can locate alongside being located.
The card's battery life is up to six months and can be recharged with any wireless charger.
I’ve been using the wallet for a few weeks, and its compact size slips easily into a secure zipped jersey pocket, keeping my cards and cash safe. Thankfully, I haven’t needed to use the tracker facility yet, but as a wallet I’m impressed.

The Miniwallet is made from European cowhide leather with all-natural dyes. It’s offered in 13 colours, along with multiple finishes and prints.
