Lose the Junk but not Your Style: The Ridge Wallet

Leave a reply

Nowadays with ApplePay, Google Pay, and the digitization of the wallet, some might consider their smartphone to be the most important object in their pocket or bag. However, not all merchants are ready to go all digital and still require payment with physical cards or cash. Thus, the analog wallet remains the king of pocket priority. 

But if you’re like me, your wallet holds more than just cards and cash. It’s become a hoarding space packed with superfluous junk.

Today’s mobile phones, particularly smartphones, have more in common with laptops than they do with cellphones. If you’re like me, you’ve come to this realization long ago and use your iPhone as you would your laptop. And, because it does practically everything that a laptop can do, minus the bulk and weight, it’s probably become your only mobile computing device.

However, this level of performance also draws power too, giving me the same mediocre battery life I would get from my laptop. If you’re looking for a way to keep your iPhone 5 running all day, while leaving all the charging accessories at home, I’ve found an integrated battery case to be the best solution.
