Have you ever lost your wallet? Now you don’t have to worry about it with the Volterman Smart Wallet in your hand. The smart wallet looks like a simple leather (皮革) wallet on the outside, but it’s different inside.

The smart wallet has as much technology as your smart phone. One is the Bluetooth alarm system. When you leave your wallet behind, the system will send you alarm signals and report it to you. Using the built-in GPS system, you can always track (追踪) your wallet anywhere in the world in real time.

The high-tech wallet also comes with a built-in power bank (移动电源) and Wi-Fi hotspot. What’s more, the smart wallet has a built -in front- facing camera. When someone tries to open it, it will take photos and email the photos to the owner. Isn’t that great?

With all these features (特点), you might expect the wallet to either be heavy or large. However, it’s very light and easy to carry.

The inventor (发明者) Azat said that he came up with the idea for this high-tech wallet three years ago. His three-year-old daughter hid his wallet behind the stove and he spent a long time looking for it.

The company Volterman started an activity to collect $ 45,000 for the smart wallet. So far it has collected over $700,000. The wallet will be sold in December.
