Show HN: Design your own thin wallet

devinmontgomery 11y ago
For those interested, we did an Instructables "launch" a couple weeks ago: http://www.instructables.com/id/Custom-Thin-Wallet-Kit/ http://www.instructables.com/id/Custom-Thin-Wallet-Kit/. Having great instructions for the kit was really important to us, so it seemed like a good fit. We got a very warm welcome and some incredibly useful feedback.

How much for international shipping? I'm in Canada.

It's not the most user-friendly design - I found myself start at the bottom of the page where the form was, and then scrolling up to the pictures/descriptions, and then back down to the form, and then back up again to the next section.

  Thanks - this is absolutely true. We're working on a javascript configurator so customers can better visualize what they're building. And see it all without scrolling. :)

This is a really awesome product, I'm going to see if I can make some room to get one. Great job

This is awesome. I've been on the lookout for a thin wallet and this checks all the boxes in addition to it being very reasonably priced. Just ordered brown/brown, nice work guys.

  Awesome. Thank you! We'd be really interested to hear how making the kit goes.

    Sure thing, can't wait to get it. Whats the time frame looking like for order delivery? No rush, just curious.

      Your kit will ship tomorrow (well, today - Wednesday), so you should have it by the weekend!

        Cheers man!

        I don't know if you're still checking out this thread, but my girlfriend and I put it together. Packaging is good, form factor is slick. The instructions were spot on and all the build materials seemed good. My biggest complaint is honestly the leather - its surprisingly lightweight and doesn't really give off the "premium" vibe. For instance I've got the apple leather case on my iphone6+ and it has a totally different feel despite being nearly the same thickness. Just want to clarify I liked the kit and would recommend it but I figured I'd give you my whole honest opinion.
