"I imagine that if this same conversation were to happen in the EDC realm, most wallets are essentially just sheets of leather that hold cash, cards, and currency. Strip the valuables away, and you've got nothing but carcass left. The MEMO wallet from New Things Lab, however, has a fairly essential feature even when it isn't holding anything - it's a dry-erase whiteboard that also parades as a wallet. Yes, you read that right. A whiteboard. In your wallet."
"The concept sounds absurd until you actually think about it. When was the last time you saw someone pull out a notepad to jot something down? Probably never, because nobody carries those anymore. But ideas still hit at random moments, phone numbers still need to be scribbled down, and sometimes you just need to sketch something out quickly. The MEMO wallet acknowledges this reality by making the notepad part of something you're already carrying anyway."
"The wallet's design is deceptively simple. Imagine a bifold wallet, but instead of opening the bifold to reveal your cards and cash, you open it to reveal a two-panel dry-erase whiteboard along with a built-in removable marker. Imagine a tiny notebook - that's essentially what you get. The panels themselves are whiteboards on the inside, but on the outside, you'll see a slot that lets you store up to 6 cards. Each panel has enough space for 3 cards, covering most use-cases."
The MEMO wallet integrates a two-panel dry-erase whiteboard and a removable marker into a bifold-style wallet. Interior whiteboard panels allow quick note-taking, phone-number jotting, and spontaneous sketches without using a phone. External card slots accommodate up to six cards, with each panel holding three cards to cover common daily carry needs like payment cards, IDs, and access cards. The design aims to reduce screen time and provide a convenient, always-available notepad within an everyday carry item, keeping the form factor compact and practical.
