Moft has turned its magnetic tripod wallet into a tiny gadget Swiss Army knife. The new Trackable Tripod Wallet keeps the folding stand and MagSafe-style wallet design, then adds Apple Find My tracking, a Bluetooth shutter remote, and a 70-decibel alarm for $59.99 – only $10 more than the original tripod wallet.
That puts it in the growing pile of small accessories that try to solve two annoyances at once: where did I leave this thing, and how do I get a decent photo without arm-flailing like a tourist. The catch is obvious enough. The tracking only works through Apple’s network, while the rest of the wallet’s tricks should play nicely with any phone that supports a magnetic Qi2 mount.
What Moft squeezed into 10mm
At 10mm thick, the new wallet is only about a millimeter thicker than the earlier tripod version. Inside that sliver, Moft says it has packed a Qi-compatible battery that lasts for 6 months, plus the tracker and alarm hardware.
The wallet is made from vegan leather and holds two credit cards, so this is still very much a minimalist accessory with gadget ambitions. The folding legs stay attached through an adjustable hinge, which is what lets the wallet prop up a phone at different angles instead of collapsing into a sad little triangle.
Bluetooth shutter remote and Find My tracking
The most useful addition may be the remote shutter button. It connects over Bluetooth, so you can trigger a shot even when the wallet is not mounted to the phone – handy for group photos, desk videos, and all the other moments when your selfie timer decides to ruin your life.
Moft’s preorder pricing is straightforward:
- $59.99 now
- Shipping expected to start in late April
If the idea works, it is because it leans into what accessory makers have learned over and over: a product people already carry is a much better place to hide a tracker than the drawer where all the actual trackers go to die.
Moft’s bet on useful clutter
Moft is not first to mash tracking into everyday gear, and it certainly will not be the last. But the company’s pitch is cleaner than most: keep the wallet slim, add features people might actually use, and charge a modest premium instead of pretending novelty is a business model.
The open question is whether buyers want a wallet that does three jobs well enough, or one that does one job perfectly. My money is on the former – at least until the next magnetic accessory shows up with a flashlight, a thermometer, and a reason to be worried about our hands.
