The Cobra Wallet is a modern wallet that allows for easy storage of your personal items in a sleek and thin design.
Designed by product designers Joshua Moore and Alex Kennberg, the Cobra Wallet is currently undergoing a Kickstarter campaign to raise funds for production. The wallet has a flat side and a curved side to allow for easy back pocket storage and can hold up to eight cards securely. It is made from two 316 stainless steel cores that have RFID protection, which prevents your cards from accidentally getting scanned. The wallet also comes with a hidden compartment to store your cash.
The best feature about the Cobra Wallet is that it also doubles as a smartphone holder so you can watch videos, take pictures or hold video calls without the use of your hands.
