Gizmodo: Wallet
il_430xN.14497251.jpgFact : Guns from the future belong on your person. And this ray gun wallet is the best way to score pocketable space weapons for at least the next decade or so. Handmade by sandwiching the geek chic design along with Japanese newspaper clippings between vinyl, the wallet won't look like a laser-firing galactic dildo, but holding one in public may scare your friends and significant others all the same. Then again, you aren't trying to look "cool" cool, which is why you're thinking about laying down $13 for this wallet. [fofa1.jpgIf, like me, you lose your keys and wallet on an almost daily basis, then you just might be desperate enough for gadgets like this. The Find One, Find All is a little radio receiver that you attach to your commonly lost items. You can then use another one— yes, you have to buy two—to track it down. There are six keys, and additional units can be programmed to different numbers. Lost your keys? Press 1. Lost your wallet? Press 2.

fofa2.jpgThe unit programmed to that number will then start to make a noise that, "gets louder the closer you get to it." Just like any other noise would do then, really. A set of two FOFAs is $24.95, and additional units are $12.47 each. If you're really dedicated to never losing your keys again, then you could splash out for the $99 Loc8tor handset, which will track down up to 24 fobs. [steel_wallet_full.jpgWoven industrial-grade stainless steel is the material used for this Stewart/Stand-designed wallet, meaning your moolah and credit cards get grade-A protection from rain, sweat—and even identity thieves looking to get their hands on your RFID information.

Made from the same finely woven steel used in petroleum processing and aerospace applications, the wallet is, apparently, as smooth as silk. The fact that it doesn't stretch, rip or stain means that it is virtually indestructible. But it's the RFID protection that is the most interesting facet of this silver-colored billfold.

The steel in the wallet creates a Faraday cage, a shield that blocks out external electrical fields, which means no access for any baddies who are trying to steal your identity—unless they're an old-fashioned fingersmith, in which case you're screwed.

The steel wallet is available in several designs and costs between $80 and $125.

[DoshWallet.jpgBlueSky Design Group's Dosh wallet takes advantage of flexible and semi-flexible polymers so that it's not only tough and bendable, but waterproof to boot. You've got the usual space for credit cards and bills, an area for coins and a compartment that can hold keys and SIM cards. It runs on the large side and is missing the display area we're used to for a photo ID. Don't like that safety vest orange? You've got a few colors to choose from.

DoshWalletColors.jpgThe Dosh comes in orange, white, charcoal and chocolate, and sells for around 40 bucks. [women-dpw.jpgFlipping out the accordion of pictures of your kids (or cats for the singles) is no more. This $50 wallet comes with a small digital photo frame that can hold up to 55 pictures. Connect it via USB for picture transfer and for recharging. The 1.4-inch screen is just small enough to prove that you can actually procreate, but not too big where people will see how ugly the kids (or cats) are. –Travis Hudson

ducttapewallet.jpgIf following simple directions online in order to make a duct tape wallet is somehow too sophisticated for you, take a look at this Duct Tape Wallet Kit. myDuctBills shows you with a printed manual (complete with pictures!) how to make a wallet out of duct tape, and even gives you all the materials you need. Yes, materials such as duct tape.

The kit also comes with three bits of colored tape in order to stylize your end product, because really, people with duct tape wallets care loads about how their wallets look. – Jason Chen

walletflash.jpgCarry around one less thing when you trade in your standard MP3 player for the Wallet Flash. It's a credit card-sized player with a double-sided USB adapter (you can plug it in any direction) and built-in playback controls.

The storage ranges from 128MB to 2GB, and is encased in a PVC shell which actually feels pretty solid. We're still worried about accidentally snapping it off when it's plugged into a PC, but that's true for all long USB devices.

The thing gets 5 hours of battery life and can even be integrated with barcode, RFID or USB functionality for authentication. – Jason Chen

ReadOpenChipSm.jpgreno_arch.jpgYou know when you go to a casino, and you're up up up up up?! And then you keep playing, until you're so bust you can't even afford a milkshake at some crappy Reno Diner? And then you make out with the 60-year old cougar waitress for her tip jar, just so you can afford gas for the drive back home? No?

Then neither have I.

But if I were some sort of psychotic with a crippling gambling addict I'd probably consider getting the Winner's Bank 200 locking wallet...

As long as you leave the key at home, the wallet's metal, cigarette case sized shell will store your cash or chips so you can't lose em to the house. It sounds crazy. But it just might work. Or I might just get so desperate for money that I drive over and over the case with my car until it pops open. I mean, SOMEONE who is addicted to gambling, yeah, they might do that. Not me.

The instructions are mindblowing:
