Eksters Best Products To Keep Your Possessions SAFE
There’s only so many bifolds a man can burn through until he gets bored. Oliver and Rick, two 22-year old Dutch students and founders of Ekster, were in the same boat. They met during a Fulbright Scholarship in the US and grew tired of the wallets that were available to men.
Not just content on creating a new concept and brand, they wanted it to be sustainable—making a positive impact on men’s daily lives, while having the smallest impact on the planet. What began as a mission of upgrading the traditional leather Wallet, has now grown into an impressive collection of essentials ranging from camera cases and cardholders. (And of course, the AirTag Wallet).
How to determine if your wallet has been lost or stolen
While it’s important to act fast, things may not be as bad as they first seem.The first step in dealing with a lost wallet is to determine whether it was lost or stolen. If you misplaced your wallet, it’s likely that you will find it soon.
To protect yourself against identity theft, you must take specific steps if your wallet has been stolen. Here are some indicators to watch out for when deciding if your wallet was stolen:
- You discover unauthorized charges on the credit card or account.
- You are notified of credit applications and loans you have not applied for.
- You get calls from debt collectors asking you to pay debts which you have not incurred.
What to Do if You Lose Your Card
Before you go into a toddler meltdown, take some level-headed measures after you’ve blamed your partner and checked the trash.
- Check your surroundings. Don’t panic. That’s not going to help anyone or make your wallet magically appear. Check your surroundings to see if you’ve simply misplaced it at home. Check your bag, car and coat pockets. If you still can’t find it, move calmly on to the next step.
- Cancel credit cards You can report the loss or theft of your cards by calling your credit card companies. The company will then cancel your card and issue a new one.
- Report a crime to the police Report the crime to police if your wallet is missing. You can recover your wallet and prevent identity theft by filing a police report. This step isn’t necessary if you believe you have simply lost your wallet on a bus or during a night on the town.
- Notify Your Bank. If your wallet contains your checkbook or bank account information, it’s a good idea to notify your bank immediately. They can monitor for suspicious activities.
- Replace your driver’s license. If your driver’s license was in your wallet, you’re going to need a new one pretty soon. This can be done by visiting the DMV in your area.

Ekster has other ways to protect your valuable possessions

It’s perfect for those who need to carry a lot of cards (without adding unnecessary bulk). The magnetic card holder is removable, and there’s also space for 12 cards as well as a bunch bills. It’s made from environmentally-certified leather and finished with subtle branding for a classy touch.
Personally, I like to travel as light as possible—often choosing the slender card holder over a bulky wallet. Please excuse me if my recommendation to buy this carbon fiber beauty sounds a bit biased.
Built for easy access, it fans out your plastic at the click of a button and slips into your pocket as if it wasn’t there. The RFID blocking technology protects you from fraud. Meanwhile, the unbreakable construction makes it a great solution for people with weak fingers.
Whether you’re traveling for work or pleasure, keeping your tech safe is always one of your main priorities—followed closely behind by finding good coffee, of course.
And while Ekster doesn’t have any recommendations for the best flat white, they do have this water-resistant case that’ll hold your EarPods, chargers, and more. The stretchy mesh pockets secure everything and the rugged padding provides protection against unexpected knocks and falls.
If you’re anything like me, you’ll spend more time looking for your keys than you do relaxing on the sofa. Ekster is the solution that allows you to sit down and relax instead of running around the house or rummaging in your trash can.
