Selecting these smart wallets was no easy task. For starters, we had to compile a list of wallets that could be considered smart wallets by most definitions. That means most of the wallets below have alternative designs, use alternative materials, and have other smart features like RFID protection and space for trackers. Finding wallets with all of the above features is rather difficult, so we settled on all wallets for this list requiring RFID protection and at least two of the other three features listed.
From there, we filtered the list by removing wallets that most customers didn’t like, cheap knockoffs, and wallets that didn’t provide enough space. After all, having a nice wallet feels good, but if you can only carry five cards, then it’s not much of a wallet. Once the list was narrowed down, we corroborated the positive reviews with online reviews from established fashion and tech blogs. We also ran every product through FakeSpot to ensure that at least most of the customer reviews were accurate.
For ranking, features ruled the day. All wallets below block RFID and have at least some extra or special features that make them smart. Most of what makes a wallet good is personal preference, such as whether you prefer metal or leather or cash clips or cash straps. Thus, the wallets below are ordered based on how many smart features they come with. The highest-ranking wallet comes with every feature.
