The case is huge.. and actually I don't understand the problem they are solving. Maybe I'm just too old.

  The case is the size of a phone, because it's a phone case. If you prefer something smaller, their first product is a 1.5" keychain fob. The end-goal of Loop and other tech like it is to make your phone (or smart watch) the only device you have to take with you when you leave home. You'll be able to pay for anything, use your store reward/loyalty cards and open the doors to your house with it. I'm almost there myself -- I don't carry keys, my supermarket has an app for the loyalty card that scans my screen instead of a card, I can pay at lots of stores with Google Wallet by tapping my phone on the credit card terminal, and my drivers license slips between the phone and its case. The only thing nobody's done yet (AFAIK) is replace the "intelligent key" fob for my car. I can't start it without that.

    I didn't mean width or height, I meant thickness, it seems to double your phones thickness. See the video at the kickstarter at about 2:30
