OhSnap's Toolless Modular Lever-Action Wallet 2 Draws Praise, but Price and Weight Give Reviewer Pause

OhSnap's lever-action Wallet 2 draws praise for its tool-free modular design, but The Verge cites price and weight as drawbacks.

According to The Verge, pulling the integrated springy lever fans the cards out. The wallet can be made thicker or thinner by pressing in the right place so it separates without tools, allowing a user to swap in a three-, five- or seven-card core that grips the cards and keeps them from falling out.

The front and back magnetic plates can be exchanged for an ID card holder, a work badge, an elastic band for carrying more cards or a money clip, the review said. Both plates can also be replaced with ultra-thin aluminum covers for users who do not need the wallet to stick magnetically to a phone. The wallet can be stacked with OhSnap's Snap Grip Stand, a product the same reviewer previously tested and liked well enough to buy.

The review described the assembly as a compliant mechanism: the plastic arms of the card-carrying core act like springs, pushing a small locking mechanism into the notches of each modular cover as the parts slide together. With cards inside, the review said, the arms are held apart so the wallet cannot open accidentally, unless the whole wallet is dropped.

In drop testing, the reviewer reported that the wallet typically did not come apart, usually separating only slightly. After one hard drop onto concrete, one half popped off and two cards came out, with everything landing within a two-foot radius, and the wallet now has a large dent, according to the review.

The Verge listed several downsides. Although OhSnap advertises the Wallet 2 as "impossibly thin," the reviewer said it is only surprisingly sleek in its thinnest three-card variant, without the thicker and heavier MagSafe and MagStack plates attached; the MagStack plate lets other magnets snap to the wallet.

Price and weight were the stated reasons the reviewer did not buy the wallet. The seven-card version adds 127 grams and made the reviewer's phone feel too heavy. The three-card version with a double-magnet kit would cost $61 on Kickstarter or $76 at retail, and OhSnap charges $35 for extras such as an ID cover or a money clip, the review said.

The reviewer added that although the product did not prompt a purchase this time, it could work as a gift.
