SlideMorph

At first glance SlideMorph looks like a plain card case. The idea, as the campaign describes it, is in the mechanism: push up the top of the holder and up to five stored cards spread out like a fan, or, in the project's own imagery, like opening wings. The maker presents this "fan-style opening" as both a visual flourish and a practical way to reach the card you need.

The campaign also puts weight on sound and feel. Opening and closing produces a metallic click, which the maker positions as a mark of mechanical precision that cheap plastic holders lack.

A multi-tool on the back

Folded into the rear of the holder is a multi-function tool that, according to the maker, works as a knife, a screwdriver and a bottle opener. The tools pull out for use and stow securely in the body when not needed, and the campaign states they are made of stainless steel for rust resistance and hygiene.

• Holds up to five cards with a fan-style opening mechanism
• High-quality aluminum alloy body, described as strong and lightweight
• Folding stainless steel tools: knife, screwdriver, bottle opener
• Built-in lock mechanism intended to stop cards or tools slipping out unexpectedly

The maker says the aluminum alloy body resists scratches and warping with everyday pocket or bag use, and that a built-in lock keeps cards and tools from deploying by accident.

Who it is aimed at

The project pitches SlideMorph at city dwellers, outdoor enthusiasts and minimalists who want one compact object to cover several jobs. It is described as the SlideMorph brand's first project, and the source notes that the crowdfunding campaign raised well above its target.
