Fact of the universe #849: Life is full of small annoyances and inconvenient hassles. While it sometimes feels like you just have to make the best of the hand you’ve been dealt, wouldn’t it be nice if some of those little problems just didn’t exist to begin with?
Well, I’m happy to report that I’ve managed to eliminate 4 tiresome and recurring scenarios in my life with an Ekster wallet (and you can too).
1. The pain from a bulky wallet
We’ve all experienced the discomfort of carrying an overstuffed wallet. Whether filled with countless cards, receipts, or coupons, there’s no denying that a knot in the back as a result of a bulge in the pocket is an experience desired by no one.
Ekster’s slim and space-efficient design proved to be my solution to this problem. With the ability to securely hold 1-12 cards and bills without expanding its width, my Ekster wallet ensures that I can comfortably carry what I need. No overcompensating for a poorly distributed body weight and posture. No lugging around a brick-sized container just to be able to pay for what I need. Just a tidy, organized, and compact solution that doesn’t result in a muscle cramp at the end of the day.
2. The annoyance of a lost or stolen wallet
Pro tip: NEVER let your wallet hear you’re in a rush to get somewhere, because it will sense your fear, and promptly hide its whereabouts. OK… maybe wallets aren’t making a habit of hiding themselves, but it sure feels that way sometimes.
Regardless of how they end up wherever they do, the struggle to find a misplaced wallet is real, unless you’re packing an Ekster. This smart wallet has the option to add a Tracker Card, which can be easily stowed in one of its card slots, providing peace of mind when it has gone missing or worse - gets stolen. If the wallet walks off, it’s no sweat - I can simply ring it from my phone, track its location, and retrieve it in a matter of seconds. No more searching in vain or panicking when I’m in a hurry – I’m able to reunite with my wallet and carry on with my day.
3. The difficulty in finding the right credit card
I think I speak for everyone when I say that no one wants to be that guy at the register. You know, the guy who is holding up the line, trying to complete a simple transaction, yet can’t seem to get his personal belongings in order to do so.
Ekster’s smart design has put this predicament in the past for me. Nowadays, it’s smooth sailing, because my wallet has quick card access at the push of a button. No more awkward fumbling and apologetic sentiments to everyone in a 10-foot radius – if anything, I look organized and confident… like a guy who knows what’s up, and is ready to keep this operation moving. Can’t be held responsible for the bottleneck that may occur when bystanders notice my cool wallet game though… it’s been known to get some oohs and ahhs.
4. The ordeal of having to empty your pockets
Raise your hand if you’ve ever fallen victim to the time-consuming task of having to walk through the TSA scanners twice because you forgot about the wallet in your pocket. 🙋🏼 Unless you’re eager for a security pat down, this can be a major inconvenience, especially when trying to catch a flight.
Travel has gotten much easier these days with my Ekster in tow. I no longer have to remember to empty my pockets and place everything on the conveyor belt because my wallet has RFID blocking protections. Not only does this bring me relief when it comes to wireless theft, it also means I’m less likely to accidentally leave my wallet behind in one of the bins (but even if I did, that Tracker Card sure helps!). My cards are kept secure in my pocket, and since my wallet is not bulky and good to keep me moving through, I have one less thing to worry about when I’ve got enough else on my mind.
My Everyday Win
My Ekstermay not be able to solve every trivial encounter in my everyday life, but it sure does take care of some of those little extra daily annoyances that I’d rather not live with. More than just a wallet, it’s a versatile and practical tool that actually manages to elevate my routine. The style is exactly what I was looking for, with options like premium leather, space-grade aluminum, and 3K carbon fiber, starting at just $79. Now if it could just help me find a better parking spot or prepare my taxes, I will know I’ve unearthed the greatest accessory ever invented.
