Chipolo x Secrid trackable wallet: what £120 buys you
A trackable wallet is no longer a modification you make yourself. On 21 April 2026 the Slovenian tracker maker Chipolo and the Dutch wallet brand Secrid put a jointly designed product on sale in which the tracker is part of the wallet, priced at £120 in the United Kingdom. This piece sets out what the specification is, where each number comes from, and how the price compares with the older approach of putting a tag in the wallet you already have.
What was announced, and when
The Trackable Miniwallet pairs Secrid's aluminium card mechanism and leather outer with a Chipolo CARD tracker seated in a dedicated slot. According to Mighty Gadget's report of 22 April 2026, the wallet reached retail on 21 April at £120 in the UK, €120 across the euro zone and $140 in the United States, sold through Chipolo's own shop and Amazon marketplaces in thirteen countries.
The same report gives the engineering detail: a cut-out in the wallet body is claimed to add three decibels to the card's output, taking the combination to around 110 dB, and the slot is shaped so the tracker's button cannot be pressed accidentally while the wallet is in a pocket.
Android Central's hands-on, published on 7 May 2026, adds that the CARD measures 85.2 by 53.6 by 2.5 millimetres, carries an IP67 rating, supports magnetic Qi charging and quotes roughly 120 metres of Bluetooth range. Both outlets note that no charger is supplied.
The specification, in one table
| Chipolo CARD in the Secrid wallet | A coin tag in an existing wallet | |
|---|---|---|
| Price | £120 for wallet and tracker together | Price of the tag alone |
| Thickness of the tracker | 2.5 mm | Around 9 mm |
| Power | Rechargeable, about one year per charge | Replaceable coin cell, up to two years |
| Loudness quoted | Up to 110 dB with the wallet cut-out | 80 to 100 dB depending on the model |
| Networks | Apple Find My or Google Find Hub, chosen at setup | Whichever network the tag is certified for |
| Replaceable when it dies | Card is designed to be swapped | Cell is swapped, tag stays |
The thickness row is the honest case for the product. A card tracker is a quarter of a centimetre thick and disappears into a slim wallet; a coin tag is nearly four times that and has to live in a note compartment or a zipped pocket.
The arithmetic nobody puts in the press release
£120 buys a wallet and a tracker. It does not buy a finding network. Apple's and Google's are both free to use and neither company charges the wallet maker for access.
So the comparison is not "trackable wallet versus untrackable wallet". It is "a new £120 wallet with a slim tracker in it" against "the wallet in your pocket, plus a tag". If the wallet you own is already fine, the second option leaves you a long way ahead, at the cost of a few millimetres of bulk and a tracker that is visible when you open it.
There is a second consideration that applies to every rechargeable tracker. A cell you recharge has a fixed number of cycles in it; a cell you replace does not, because you throw the cell away rather than the device. Chipolo's answer is that the card itself can be swapped out of the wallet, which is sensible design, though it means a future purchase rather than a two-pound coin cell from the supermarket.
What it says about the category
Three things, all of them mild.
First, wallet makers now consider tracking a feature worth engineering around rather than an aftermarket nuisance. Second, the dual-network approach, build one product, let the buyer pick Apple or Google at setup, has become the default for anyone who is not Apple or Samsung. Third, prices in this corner of the market are set by the object the tracker is attached to, not by the tracker. The finding part is cheap. The leather is not.
Where the Homing Tag stands
The Homing Tag takes the other route entirely: a coin-shaped tracker you drop into whatever wallet, bag or drawer you already own. It is 36.3 millimetres square and 9 millimetres deep, so it slides into a note compartment or a zipped pocket rather than a card slot, worth measuring before you order if your wallet is a slim one.
It joins Apple Find My as an Other Item, which means positions are relayed by whatever Apple devices pass by and are encrypted so that only your account can read them. Sound runs to 100 dB, the direct radio link reaches about sixty metres, the shell carries an IP67 rating, and power comes from a coin cell of the common CR2032 type, good for roughly two years and replaceable for pocket change. Ultra Wideband is absent, so there is no arrow, and Android is unsupported in every sense: the tag wants Apple hardware running at least iOS 14.5.
A box holds two tags at under £15, posted free to UK addresses, which is what makes tagging the wallet and the day bag together a reasonable thing to do.
The two-pack is here if the wallet you own is the one you want to keep.
