Smart wallets have become increasingly popular over the last number of years, combining tracking features with everyday practicality. The Journey LOC8 Versa Wallet Universal takes this approach further by supporting both Apple Find My and Google Find Hub, making it suitable for both iPhone and Android users.
The wallet is made from premium Nappa leather and remains fairly slim and lightweight at 96 grams despite including built-in tracking features. It supports MagSafe-compatible iPhones directly, while Android devices and older iPhones can use a stick-on magnetic ring for compatibility.
The wallet holds up to five cards, includes RFID protection, magnetic shielding to help protect cards, and also works as a phone stand in both portrait and landscape mode.
Setup and Tracking
Setup was simple during testing. Opening Apple Find My or Google Find Hub and holding the pairing button on the wallet connected the device almost instantly with no issues observed.
Once connected, users can rename the wallet, play a sound to help locate it nearby, or use map tracking to check its last known location. Separation alerts are also supported if the wallet is left behind.
One practical recommendation worth mentioning is that users should consider sharing the wallet connection with a trusted friend, colleague, or family member where possible. If the wallet is attached to the phone and both are lost together, access to tracking features could become more difficult from the missing device itself.
Journey states the rechargeable USB-C battery can last up to four to six months per charge, which is reasonable for a product of this type.
