As IFA 2024 kicks off, Satechi unveils some new accessories for Apple users. The most interesting one is a vegan-leather passport cover with Find My capabilities. Similar to Twelve South’s idea of adding tracking capabilities to its power brick, Satechi wants to help international travelers have peace of mind when traveling abroad.
This vegan-leather passport cover offers a passport holder, four card slots, wireless charging capability with a five-month battery life, Bluetooth 5.2, and RFID protection. Satechi says this new passport cover can “secure important documents and cards while conveniently keeping them safely within reach thanks to the integrated Find My technology.”
The company explains that people who misplace their passports can ping the passport cover from the Find My app with audible locating with step-by-step directions. Users need to charge their passport cover every five months, but they can do that by placing it on a Qi, Qi2, or MagSafe wireless charger, such as BGR‘s favorite 3-in-1 wireless charging stand.
To minimize its carbon footprint, Satechi’s vegan-leather passport cover features a rechargeable battery with a longer lifespan than traditional batteries. This helps reduce overall waste and conserve resources.
Besides this new product, there are a few multi-port adapters for Mac users, including:
- 7-in-1 USB-C Slim Multi-Port Adapter with Ethernet
- An updated version of Satechi’s USB-C Slim Multi-Port with Ethernet Adapter
