I used to misplace my wallet all the time, which always resulted in a mad scramble before leaving the house. I tried to remember to place it in the valet tray next to my keys, but it often ended up elsewhere. This is why, when Nomad launched its Tracking cardI immediately grabbed one. Now, even if my wallet disappears, I can easily find it. If you’ve ever experienced this, you can get the tracker on Amazon in black or white for a record low price of $23.20 (about $6 off) thanks to Prime Big Deal Days.
Nomad’s tracker is about the size of two standard credit cards squashed together (it’s officially 1.7mm thick), so it should have no problem fitting into even the thinnest wallet. I use a slim, minimal card wallet that already has my ID, Costco card, and credit cards in it. Even so, the tracking card fits without adding noticeable bulk. The card itself has a sturdy polycarbonate body that has held up well over the past few months, even though it’s been put down a few times.
But the best part is its integration with Apple’s Find My network. It shows up in the Find My app under “items” and always lets me know when it’s out of range of my location. Since I’m using an iPhone, I also don’t need to download an additional app or share my information with another service. If he were to get lost – knock on wood – the Find My network can make locating him much easier by allowing me to see his last known or current location. The card can even emit a chime when I’m in Bluetooth range, although it’s not particularly loud.
Unfortunately, it lacks Apple’s “Precision Finding” feature, which is supported by iPhones and AirTags with the U1 chip. This means I can’t get real-time directional and distance guidance when the map disappears. In this case, finding it requires a bit of detective work, like looking under a pile of laundry. Even without this feature, Nomad’s Tracking Card has been a great addition to my daily carry, and with up to five months of battery life – which you can recharge wirelessly via a Qi or MagSafe compatible charger – it’s virtually maintenance-free.
