Quick Verdict
A Secrid slim wallet was already one of the best things in my pocket. Dropping a Chipolo CARD inside it fixes the one flaw that always bugged me: losing it and having no way to find it. The Secrid trackable wallet with Chipolo keeps the slim profile and adds Find My and Find Hub tracking without turning it into a brick.
Buy if you:
- Already love slim wallets and misplace yours constantly
- Want Apple Find My or Google Find Hub without a chunky tag
- Carry up to 9 cards and hate bulky bifolds
- Want a rechargeable tracker instead of swapping batteries
Skip if you:
- Don’t own a Qi magnetic charger, since one isn’t in the box
- Need to carry more than 9 cards plus a stack of bills
- Already own a tracker and just want the wallet cheaper

The One Problem With Secrid Wallets, Solved
Secrid wallets are already some of the best slim wallets out there, but they always had one weakness: lose it, and it’s just gone. The Secrid trackable wallet with Chipolo is the answer to that exact problem. It’s the same slim leather Secrid design, but built to hold a Chipolo CARD tracker so you can find it with your phone. In the video I went through the setup, how the CARD fits, how it works in daily use, and the stuff you’ll want to know before buying one.
Here’s the short version. If you’ve ever patted your pockets in a panic before walking out the door, this is the wallet that ends that. It’s not reinventing the Secrid you already know. It just closes the one gap.
What Actually Comes in the Box
This is a Chipolo x Secrid Trackable Mini wallet in black leather with a rechargeable Chipolo CARD tracker already included. The wallet holds up to 9 cards using Secrid’s patented slide mechanism that fans your cards out with a lever push, plus a spot for bills in any currency, a button closure, and RFID protection. The back of the wallet has a tactile guide over the CARD’s button so you can press it through the leather to call your phone.
The Chipolo CARD itself is the star here. It’s a credit-card-thin tracker, it’s rechargeable via a Qi magnetic wireless charger, and Chipolo rates the battery at up to 12 months on a single charge. When it rings, it gets loud, up to 110 dB, which the wallet is designed to amplify.
Setup and How It Works in Real Life
Setup follows the same path as any modern tracker. The Chipolo CARD pairs with either Apple Find My on iPhone or Google’s Find Hub on Android, so you’re not locked into the Chipolo app to do the important stuff. That’s the part I care about most. When the wallet is nearby but hidden, you ring it and follow that 110 dB sound. When it’s far away, it rides on the global Find My or Find Hub network, which is millions of phones quietly relaying its last known location back to you.
The free Chipolo app adds the extra tricks. You can use the wallet’s button to call your phone even on silent, trigger a remote camera shutter, and customize the ringtone. The “find my phone from my wallet” trick is the underrated one. How many times do you lose the phone, not the wallet? Pressing the tactile spot on the back to make the phone ring ends up mattering on a busy morning.
The Charger Isn’t in the Box
Here’s the catch nobody wants to hear: the Qi magnetic charger isn’t included. The Chipolo CARD is rechargeable, which is a genuine upgrade over trackers you toss when the battery dies. But you charge it wirelessly, and you have to supply the Qi magnetic pad yourself. So on day one, if you don’t already own one, you can’t top it off. It ships with a charge, and Chipolo rates it for up to 12 months, so you’ve got runway. Still, plan for a charger to enter your life at some point, and know it’s a separate purchase.

Who This Secrid Trackable Wallet Is For
If you carry six cards, an ID, and occasionally lose twenty minutes hunting your wallet before leaving the house, this is the exact product built for you. The Secrid slide mechanism and RFID blocking were already worth the price of entry, the Chipolo turns those into table stakes and adds a 110 dB alarm you can trigger from your phone. It’s not a compromise wallet that does tracking okay. It’s a wallet people already loved, made findable.
It also works across phone ecosystems, which is bigger than it sounds. iPhone household? Find My. Android? Find Hub. A shared wallet situation where one person’s on each? Still covered, because the CARD speaks both. That flexibility is why a trackable mini wallet like this beats a tracker locked to one platform.
Chipolo CARD vs. Dropping in Your Own Tracker
You could buy a plain Secrid and slide any tracker card into it, so why the bundle? Two reasons. The wallet is purpose-built with a tactile button guide on the back and a design meant to amplify the Chipolo’s 110 dB alarm, so the sound isn’t muffled by leather. And the Chipolo CARD is rechargeable, where a lot of card trackers are sealed and disposable once the battery dies. If you’ve ever thrown out a tracker because you couldn’t swap the cell, that up-to-12-month rechargeable design is the trade-off that wins. The flip side: a generic tracker plus a standalone wallet might cost less, and you can check the current bundle price to see if the convenience is worth it for you.
Advice Before You Buy
Three things worth knowing before day one. First, the Qi magnetic charger is not in the box, order one at the same time you order the wallet, because the CARD ships with a charge and you will forget about it for months until it dies at the worst moment. Second, pair it and ring it immediately: 110 dB in a quiet room is louder than you expect, and you want that sound locked in your head before you’re tearing apart a hotel room at 6 a.m. Third, count your cards now. Nine is the ceiling, not a suggestion, push past it and the slide mechanism stiffens and the slim profile disappears, which defeats the entire reason to own a Secrid.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Chipolo CARD need a subscription to work?
No subscription. Tracking runs through Apple Find My or Google Find Hub for free, and the Chipolo companion app is free too. You only pay once, for the wallet and tracker.
Is a charger included with the wallet?
No, the Qi magnetic wireless charger is not included. The Chipolo CARD is rechargeable and rated for up to 12 months per charge, but you’ll need to buy a compatible Qi magnetic charger separately.
Does it work with both iPhone and Android?
Yes. The Chipolo CARD works with Apple Find My on iPhone and Google’s Find Hub on Android, so you’re not locked to one ecosystem. Both networks let you locate the wallet almost anywhere in the world.
How many cards does the Secrid trackable mini hold?
Up to 9 cards, plus a slot for bills in any currency. The slide mechanism fans your cards out for quick access, and the CARD tracker sits inside without eating a card slot.
Can I use it to find my phone, not just my wallet?
Yes. There’s a tactile guide over the CARD’s button on the back of the wallet. Press it to make your phone ring, even when the phone is on silent. It doubles as a remote camera shutter too.
Does the RFID protection cover all the cards?
The wallet includes RFID protection as part of its design, which is a standard Secrid feature. Keep your sensitive contactless cards in the shielded card holder section rather than the loose bill area for the best protection.
How loud is the ring when the wallet is nearby?
Up to 110 dB, and the wallet is designed to amplify rather than muffle it. That’s loud enough to hear through couch cushions or from another room when it’s hidden nearby.
What happens when the battery finally dies after a year?
You recharge it rather than replace it. Drop the CARD on a Qi magnetic charger and it tops back up, so you’re not tossing the tracker like the disposable sealed ones. That’s a big part of the appeal over cheaper card trackers.
Is it worth it over a plain Secrid plus a separate tracker?
The bundle earns its premium in two ways a DIY setup can’t replicate: the wallet’s cavity is tuned to project the 110 dB alarm outward instead of swallowing it in leather, and the tactile button on the back means you can ring your phone without digging the CARD out. A generic tracker card dropped into a plain Secrid will work, it just won’t be as loud, as clean, or rechargeable. If those three things matter, the bundle wins. If they don’t, buy them separately and pocket the difference.
