The Inspiration Behind Tactical Geek’s Wallet Design
Michael (GizmoCrowd): Your Tactical Geek brand merges tactical precision and geek-driven innovation. What inspired you to create this magnetic, RFID-protected wallet, and how does it stand out from traditional wallets?
Tactical Geek: At Tactical Geek, we have always focused on new eco-friendly materials and strive to combine innovation with functionality. Our goal is to create products that not only meet the modern consumer’s need for security but also offer a simple, convenient daily experience.
The EXT17 wallet was inspired by these core principles. With the rising risk of digital theft, traditional wallets no longer meet today’s security needs. We combined RFID protection technology with a magnetic closure design, making the wallet secure, minimalist, and easy to use.
By integrating eco-friendly materials and smart design, the EXT17 wallet overcomes the limitations of traditional wallets, making it the ideal choice for modern consumers.
Magnetic Design & Everyday Carry (EDC) Convenience
Michael: Unlike conventional wallets, this one features powerful magnetic plates for attachment to phones, bags, or metal surfaces. How does this enhance its versatility for modern travelers and professionals?
Tactical Geek: The EXT17 wallet includes a powerful magnetic plate that allows it to be attached to phones, bags, or metal surfaces. This feature significantly enhances versatility, especially for travelers and professionals.
- Easy Access – Attach it to metal surfaces or inside your bag for quick retrieval.
- Travel-Friendly – No more digging through bags to find your wallet.
- Efficient for Busy Lifestyles – Whether commuting, traveling, or working, the “always accessible” design keeps you moving efficiently.
For those who travel frequently or lead busy professional lives, this smart attachment system makes daily use faster and more secure.
RFID Protection & Security Features
Michael: With digital theft on the rise, RFID-blocking technology is a must-have for personal security. How does the Tactical Geek wallet protect users from unauthorized card scans while keeping access convenient?
Tactical Geek: With the rise of RFID skimming, protecting personal data and financial security is more important than ever.
- The EXT17 wallet is equipped with RFID-blocking technology, preventing unauthorized scanning and theft of credit cards and ID cards.
- Designed for both security & convenience, we ensured that despite the added RFID protection, the wallet remains easy to access.
- The magnetic closure & efficient card retrieval system allow users to securely store their items while accessing them quickly.
Unlike traditional wallets with bulky security layers, the EXT17 provides advanced protection without the hassle.
Materials & Durability
Michael: The Tactical Geek Wallet is made from X-PAC VX21, Cordura, and waterproof YKK zippers. Can you tell us more about how these materials ensure durability, weather resistance, and long-term use?
Tactical Geek: We chose X-PAC VX21, Cordura, and waterproof YKK zippers to ensure that the EXT17 wallet is:
- Durable & Long-Lasting – X-PAC VX21 is lightweight yet exceptionally abrasion-resistant.
- Weather-Resistant – Cordura fabric adds tear resistance, making it perfect for outdoor and high-intensity environments.
- Waterproof Protection – YKK zippers keep the wallet securely closed while ensuring that your items stay dry.
These materials guarantee that the EXT17 wallet is built for long-term reliability—whether for daily carry or extreme environments.
Sustainability & Future Innovations
Michael: Tactical Geek emphasizes eco-friendly materials and responsible production. What’s next for your brand? Do you have plans to expand into other sustainable tactical gear or smart EDC accessories?
Tactical Geek: We have always been committed to exploring eco-friendly materials that offer functional improvements, sustainability, and durability.
- New Material Exploration – We are testing Dyneema, a high-performance fabric, for new bag and wallet designs.
- Smart Accessories Development – We are researching next-gen bag closures and modular accessories to improve functionality and user experience.
- Potential Expansion into Pet Products – Our love for dogs has inspired the CHAI TIAN Community Projects, which may lead us to develop tactical and eco-friendly pet accessories.
Our long-term vision is to offer high-quality solutions that prioritize creation, focus, and responsibility.
