Biometric Wallet Keeps Out Prying Eyes and Fingers

If the last innovative wallet you saw was one made out of duct tape, take a look at this. Privacy company Aegis Innovations has just released the TungstenW, which uses biometrics to keep your money and credit cards secure. You set up the wallet by connecting it to your computer and programming it with your fingerprint. From then on, it only opens when you swipe your finger across it. But get this: you can also pair it with your cell phone using Bluetooth, so that an internal alarm goes off whenever the wallet is over 10 feet away from your phone. It’s a wallet that alerts you when it’s being stolen.

The TungstenW measures 3 3/8″ wide x 4 1/4″ long x 3/4″ thick. That’s not much, but considering the hard case, I don’t think you’d want to keep it in your back pocket. You can choose the fiberglass version in black, gold, green, pink, or white for $399, the carbon fiber and Kevlar version for $599, or the carbon fiber version for $599. With prices like that, you may not have anything left to put in the TunstenW once you get one.
