BACKGROUND

The new SAFE WALLET models are now made in the U.S.A. and are made 100% out of TPU, which means they are now indestructible, and come with a lifetime warranty against manufacturing defects. TPU is the rubbery material we used on the front bumpers on all previous BulletTrain SAFE Wallet models from our iPhone 4- iPhone X models.

We have had many customers who have tested these production models and they can't believe how sturdy they are, as they tend to not ever show any wear.

SCREEN PROTECTORS?

BulletTrain experimented with years on trying to develop screen protectors, but no matter what they were a complete pain to install and deal with. Jake, who is the designer at BulletTrain has been testing and using Generation 4 (ALL TPU Models) for the past 4 years, since he made the first BulletTrain SAFE Wallet for iPhone 12 Pro Max, and has never used a screen protector, and has experienced many bad drops, but the SAFE WALLET models have ALWAYS protected the iPhone glass.

Also, out of the many customers who have beta tested 12, 13, 14, and 15 BulletTrain SAFE Wallets, not one has reported having broke their screen, Jake believes this is due to the fact that the latest generation BulletTrain SAFE Wallet has an unusually thick and highly protective front bumper system. The reason this is unusual is that when you look at a current generation BulletTrain SAFE Wallet, it's so skinny and comfortable in the hand, you don't really notice how aggressive the front bumper design really is.

So while it's up to you, Jake believes it highly unlikely customers need screen protectors with all TPU BulletTrain SAFE Wallet models.

iPhone 16 and 17 Cases?

Many of our customers love their SAFE WALLET models so much, they won't upgrade their iPhone model if they can't get a SAFE WALLET for it. We are working on a new model named the SAFE WALLET ULTRA, which uses Magsafe to attach to the back of any iPhone model case, and hope to have it to market by August of 2026.

More Information

We have been hard at work at BulletTrain on many levels. In case you are not aware, after moving production from China to the U.S., our manufacturer was purchased by another company, which basically destroyed our relationship as they fired our contact we had been working with for years who had been at the company for around 30 years. This forced us to find another U.S. manufacturer, which we have done, so now we are moving full speed ahead again.

100% TPU SAFE WALLETS

Our latest generation of BulletTrain SAFE Wallet are very similar to our older generations, with one major difference as they are now made entirely from TPU, which is the acronym for Thermoplastic Polyurethane.

TPU is basically the black rubbery material on the front edge of our previous generation BulletTrain SAFE Wallet models. In other words, the entire BulletTrain SAFE Wallet is now made out of the rubber-like material and I made this change as now it’s essentially indestructible. 

With the older generation, since it also used polycarbonate which is a hard plastic, if you drop it just right, it could cause it to crack and ruin your BulletTrain SAFE Wallet.

With the new generation, since it’s made out of softer rubber-like material it is way, way, way stronger and comes with a lifetime warranty.

BulletTrain SAFE LEASH 

The new generation BulletTrain SAFE Wallet offers a really cool new feature and accessory called the SAFE LEASH which is pictured below. 

Notice there is what appears to look like a red power button on the bottom of the BulletTrain SAFE Wallet in this first photo. When not in use, the Quick Disconnect stays completely flush with the profile of the SAFE WALLET so you will not feel it.

If you use your fingernail, you can lift our SAFE WALLET Quick Disconnect up about a quarter of an inch, kind of like a drawer handle, which allows you to attach it to our SAFE LEASH which is pictured above. 

The SAFE LEASH can act like a wrist lanyard when taking photos in unsafe places. For instance, if you were taking photos from a precarious position, like dangling off the Golden Gate Bridge, you could use our optional SAFE LEASH pictured above to take that perfect photo. I took the photo below in Hawaii, with my phone dangling off the 30th floor, where if I had dropped it I would for certain have lost and destroyed my phone, but since I had the SAFE LEASH it made me 100% confident I could not drop or lose it.

My favorite use for the SAFE LEASH is when I go snowboarding, I lock it onto my parka so when I am on the chairlift (as pictured above and below), if I were to drop my phone, I could not accidentally lose it. You can also attach the opposite end of the SAFE LEASH to a belt loop or waistband to make it pick-pocket proof, which is ideal when traveling. 

BulletTrain SAFE PURSE STRAP

Our new SAFE LEASH quick disconnect can accommodate our SAFE PURSE Strap for women. In the photos below you can see a customer testing a SAFE PURSE Strap prototype, which have also been tested thoroughly by many SAFE WALLET beta testers and early adopters to critical acclaim. The SAFE PURSE allows a woman to conveniently wear her SAFE WALLET cross-body, next to her hip, so she can leave the house without a physical purse. 

Having a SAFE WALLET attached to adjustable SAFE PURSE Stop keeps your phone at your side at all time, which makes it really easy to text, take photos or talk on the phone—without having to remove the cross-body purse strap. 

The SAFE PURSE Strap connects to our SAFE LEASH quick disconnect accessory which allows you to attach it to your car or house keys as seen above and below.

A George Costanza Magsafe Wallet

 

A George Costanza Magsafe Wallet

+ A Radical Breakthrough for SAFE WALLET ULTRA!!!!

As we get close to finalizing the specifications for the BulletTrain SAFE Wallet ULTRA, and prepare to start the tooling process, I find myself becoming even more obsessed with studying the way people use Magsafe wallets with their smartphones. I was in a SAFEWAY recently, and I noticed a checkout clerk who was rocking his iPhone in his back pocket with a fat-ass (no pun intended) Magsafe Tri-Fold wallet attached. It was so thick, he couldn't seem to fit the whole shooting match in his rear pocket, so he just kind of had it sticking out, las seen in the image below.

I have been obsessed with studying the way people carry their wallets for decades now, and it never ceases to amaze me how they almost always overfill them. 

You can think of the upcoming BulletTrain SAFE Wallet ULTRA as being the "INVERSE COSTANZA" exploding wallet, as it has a hard limit to how much you can carry in it.

Speaking of wallet capacity, I have some amazing news to share with you. Out of all the BulletTrain SAFE Wallet cases we have ever made for iPhone, as well as the BulletTrain SAFE Wallet MINI, some models had a capacity of 5 plastic cards, and the more recent could carry 6 cards, and one cash bill in its Secret Stash compartment. 

Don't ask me how we figured it out, but the new BulletTrain SAFE Wallet ULTRA can features an inner capacity of 8 plastic cards, while only being 11.75MM thick, which is ridiculously thin, and this includes 2MM of space for containing the MagSafe Magnet array!!!!!, and you can also easily carry one more card Piggyback of the front of the ULTRA, so it will have a real world capacity of 9 cards. The BulletTrain SAFE Wallet ULTRA 3D printed prototype (pictured below) is holding/hiding/concealing securely 8 plastic cards, and 2 tri-folded cash bills, as well as having a Tesla NFC key card attached to its hollow core wallet door. 

The BulletTrain SAFE Wallet ULTRA keeps blowing my mind with the number of useful innovations we have been able to add. For instance, we have a new feature that allows you to easily lock the door out at 75 degrees  which is the perfect angle for watching video content in landscape, and when you rotate it 90 degrees clockwise, it stands up in portrait, all without the user having to do or adjust anything.

Also, if a customer wants to use the BulletTrain SAFE Wallet ULTRA as a freestanding wallet, they can add a 10th card to the back outside of the ULTRA. This basically makes the BulletTrain SAFE Wallet ULTRA a Ridge Wallet Killer, as it flawlessly does exactly what the Ridge pretends to do, but without the elastic bands that stretch out over time, and the metal plates that get all scratched up.

SPEAKING OF RIDGE WALLETS

I friend of mine I have known for a long time and I went out to lunch recently. I showed him one of the first prototype BulletTrain SAFE Wallet ULTRA models and he said "Man. That is so cool. I can't wait to get an ULTRA!!!" I asked him what he liked so much about the ULTRA and he responded, "I have a minimalist wallet, and I always forget to bring it with me, but I NEVER forget my phone. If I could simply attach my ULTRA to the back of my phone, I would NEVER forget to bring it with me." He showed me his wallet, which appears to be a Ridge knock-off and it's named HAYVENHURST". 

Above and below are photos of my buddies HAYVENHURST wallet, an it's a thick boy. No wonder he never wants to carry it around with him as it's so big and thick and bulky. His wallet holds 9 cards, as seen below, and he also had 5 cash bills folded in half in the money clip as pictured below

The bottom line is Ridge and Ridge copycat wallets let people turn into walking bricks, but the BulletTrain SAFE Wallet ULTRA does the exact opposite.

A few days ago, I had a breakthrough epiphany where I figured out how to successfully hold more cards in the ID vault section of the BulletTrain SAFE Wallet ULTRA as discussed earlier in this story, without making the ULTRA any thicker. I mentioned to breakthrough to my buddy, and he got really excited! I was surprised and curious, so I asked him why he was so excited, and he said, it was because he liked to carry around his insurance card, so if the BulletTrain SAFE Wallet could hold 7 cards, instead of 6, he thought that was great news.

The most recent BulletTrain SAFE Wallet design is pictured below, and on the right side in the hollow core wallet door, it is designed to be able to hold 5 plastic cards, and one tri-folded cash bill. The new ID VAULT tray on the right was originally designed to be able to hold one plastic card, like an ID, with one try-folded cash bill behind it. 

We left a little more room in that area so customers could also place an item on top of their ID, like a paper parking garage ticket. At the time, the BulletTrain SAFE Wallet ULTRA was a total of 12MM thick, and the ID VAULT area was 2MM tall. Then I had the crazy epiphany, where I figure out how to perfectly be able to secure two cards on the right, along with a tri-folded cash bill. The method we came up with is not easy to explain in words, and I don't want to give too much away before me launch this new model, but suffice it to say, my plastic engineer and I figured out a method to be able to press fit in two cards on the left side in the ID VAULT area, on top of a trip-folded cash bill, or business card. 

Then I kept thinking, "If we only add .5MM more of height to the ID VAULT area, which is on a half of a millimeter, which is about half as thick as a credit card, it would allow customers to hold 3 plastic cards in the same area, all secured in place by press fitting. Then it hit me like a ton of bricks!!!! At one point, I thought, maybe I would launch with a BulletTrain SAFE Wallet model that could hold 6 cards, then maybe a year later, I might launch a second model that could hold 8 cards. With this recent breakthrough, there will no longer be a need to ever have to launch a second model or SKU, as this puppy can easily hold 8-9 cards!!! So just imagine with the photo above, that a user could hold an ID with two plastic cards underneath it. 

More importantly, a user will now be able to hold an Apple Find My tracker card in the ID TRAY, with two tri-folded cash bills behind it!!!! This is outrageously great news, and is a fundamental game changer for the BulletTrain SAFE Wallet ULTRA!!!

I launched my Kickstarter campaign for the first BulletTrain SAFE Wallet back in 2012 and raised just over $25K. A few months later, Ridge launched their first wallet on Kickstarter and raised $250K. Fast forward to today, and last year it's estimate Ridge sold $300 Million their good, clumsy wallets. 

The fundamental difference between Ridge and BulletTrain is that over the past 14 years, I have had to try to keep up with Apple coming out with as many as 4 new models every year, which has been a logistical nightmare, while Ridge has NEVER had to update their fundamental model design. The BulletTrain SAFE Wallet ULTRA represents the 6th generation of SAFE WALLET, but the great news is that since we are only going to need to make one SKU moving forward, we can go after Ridge and Apple's super goofy Magsafe Wallet, which is a fundamental copy of our 2017 SAFE WALLET MINI—just with MagSafe magnets added. The future for BulletTrain is looking brighter than EVER, so stay tuned!!!!!

BulletTrain Wallet Autopsy Exploding George Costanza Ridge Wallet

RIDGE Wallet Autopsy 

Exploding George Costanza RIDGE Wallet

As the designer of the BulletTrain SAFE Wallet, one of my favorite things to do is conduct autopsies on peoples wallets to learn what they store in them. Recently I met a man and I showed him my prototype BulletTrain SAFE Wallet ULTRA, and he said, "I love the ULTRA! That's so much better that my current solution which doesn't attach to my iPhone case." Then he pulled out his Ridge wallet and showed it to me:

Holy Hell!!! I was shocked, as I always thought that the essence of a Ridge wallet was that it was for people who were minimalists that wanted to avoid the hazards and potential pitfalls of having a George Costanza exploding wallet, but low and behold, I was shocked to see how this man's Ridge wallet had become a complete nightmare that looks like the Goodwill blew up!?!!

It's funny, when I think about a Ridge Wallet in my mind, I see this clean minimalist wallet that is skinny, not a metal brick that is overflowing with paper receipts sticking out of it, that is as thick as a Big Mac, and it looks like it survived a war, receipts exploding out like confetti, and cards scratched to death. This is not a wallet. It's a cry for help.

This stale wallet appears to have everything he was too lazy to throw away for the last couple of years, just jammed in there because the elastic let him. This Ridge Wallet has been turned into a trash compactor.

BulletTrain SAFE Wallet ULTRA
To The Rescue
Or upcoming SAFE WALLET ULTRA is pictured below and is very close to final spec. ULTRA will hold 6 cards internally, as well as two cash bills that are tri-folded. If a user wishes to use a BulletTrain SAFE Wallet ULTRA as a freestanding minimalist wallet, they can attach 2 cards to the outside surfaces, which would give you a total of holding 8 cards. Examples of cards a user would want to attach to the outsides would include NFC Work ID cards, as well as something like a Tesla NFC card.
The fundamental difference between the RIDGE Wallet and the BulletTrain SAFE WALLET ULTRA, is that the ULTRA will not allow you to packrat unnecessary stuff, even if you wanted to, not to mentioned the ULTRA will have a way superior method of attaching to the back of any phone case using Magsafe magnets, which unlike the Ridge Magsafe variant, will never fall or slide of your smartphone case unexpectedly. It's ironic that the original SAFE WALLET predated the first RIDGE wallet case launched in January of 2013. In other words, the first BulletTrain SAFE Wallet campaign launched on Kickstarter in November of 2012, which was months prior the launch of the Ridge Wallet.
The Key Takeaway
BulletTrain pioneered the modern everyday-carry smart wallet with the SAFE Wallet's November 2012 Kickstarter launch—months before Ridge debuted in January 2013. BulletTrain invented the category. Ridge refined it. The ULTRA perfects it!!!

The ULTRA is the last wallet you'll ever buy.

The history of wallets is a graveyard of broken promises.

Leather that balloons. Metal that scratches. Gimmicks that fail.

Every “innovation” added weight, noise, or regret.

Then we built the ULTRA.

21 Reasons ULTRA Ends the Game

1.  Capacity to hold 6 plastic cards + 2 tri-folded cash bills

2.  Indestructible TPU—drop it, wash it, run it over

3.  100 % Waterproof

4.  Lifetime warranty—we replace it forever

5.  MagicStand—perfect portrait & landscape

6.  One-handed card access—no removal required

7.  Stealth: Cards completely hidden

8.  Strongest MagSafe grip on the planet

9.  Works on every phone ever made (ring adapter included)

10. Infinitely reskinnable—free skin included.

11. Flexible ID tray—receipts, tickets, or ID

12. Holds keys, coins, receipts

13. Ergonomic 4-way grip—phone feels better

14. No elastic, no bands, no rattle

15. Future-proof—no battery, no obsolescence

16. Optional 8-card freestanding capacity

17. Optional Find My card slot (no bulk)

18. Comes in any color—as long as it’s black 

19. Forgotten Card Alarm—5 cards = silent. 4 cards = instant rattle.

20. We invented the piggy-back wallet in 2012

21. Apple copied our 2017 BulletTrain SAFE Wallet MINI in 2020. We finished the job in 2026.

And since we compared the Ridge to the ULTRA, and I also mentioned BulletTrain invented the piggy-back smartphone wallet in 2012, we might as well examine and compare the ULTRA to the Apple Magsafe Wallet which is a copycat:

2017 BulletTrain SAFE Wallet MINI v. 2025 BulletTrain SAFE Wallet ULTRA

 

2017 BulletTrain SAFE Wallet MINI

v.

2026 BulletTrain SAFE Wallet ULTRA

I finally got a chance to experiment with and photograph our first BulletTrain SAFE Wallet ULTRA prototype which is pictured below next to our BulletTrain 2017 SAFE Wallet MINI which has a Magsafe backplate attached to it for prototype testing, so I thought I would share this picture. The reason why the ULTRA is salt and pepper colored is that's the a limitation of 3D printing process, but the production model will look almost identical to the MINI at it will be black.

It's fascinating to me to observe how remarkably similar the two models are, yet totally different. 

-The MINI is made from polycarbonate and the ULTRA will be made from TPU.

-The MINI holds 5 cards, yet the ULTRA holds 5 cards.

-The MINI attaches using Microsuciton, and the ULTRA attaches using Magsafe magnets.

The whole process of getting to market is taking way longer than I would like, but as they say, good things take time. There is some pretty miraculous engineering going on to bring this beauty to life. In particular, the level of detail that goes into the magnets makes my head spin, but that's part of the magic as everybody will soon see.
