Nomad Slim Wallet with Tile Tracking: You have to love this 3.5- by 4-inch folio-style wallet for travel. Made of vegetable-tanned leather from the Horween Leather Co. of Chicago and with a storage capacity of 12 credit cards in three card slots; one interior slot and one exterior slot for cash; and one quick-access pocket, the minimalist Slim Wallet would be a smart travel take-along because of these attributes alone. But add an integrated, Blue Tooth-enabled Tile tracker built into a virtually hidden pocket and you have a billfold even Mr. Magoo couldn't lose. Simply misplaced, a missing wallet can be pinpointed by the Tile app and made to ring out for attention. If out of immediate reach, the community of Tile users can be crowdsourced to help in a recovery. One as-yet unrealized theft deterrent: Press a remote button and have a stolen wallet explode with green dye while a voice exclaims in 32 different languages, "Stop, Thief!" $79.95; https://hellonomad.com
