Wallet 2.0 Live
All the way from Taiwan and just in time for Xmas, MoCo Loco gets its very own "wallet from the future", the Wallet 2.0. It's bigger than expected, more for a back pocket than a front one. It's made of pliable silicone and bends easily. The flip-top container contains organizer/planner-like refill sheets designed for use with the wallet. It comes with five types of refill sheets - bill, coins, ID, credit cards and 'others' and there are more sheets on the way. More pics after the jump.
Refill sheets up close.
I love the concept and the look but it's way too big too fit in any of my pockets. Plus my experience with pliable silicone is that it's also sticky. Spending 15 seconds trying to wrestle your wallet out of your pants sort of destroys that slick hipster from the future aesthetic.
If they'd shrink the depth by half I'd try it.
Its a cool idea and I get the whole 2.0 thing, but it looks more complicated to use than wallet 1.0. What were the usability problems this redesign addressed?
While I like it, I hate it... design for functionality. Study people, how and why do they use their wallets. When? Just because they slap on huge sans-serif type with funky sayings, it makes it good design?
Functionality through simplicity.. or vice-versa.. its the chicken or the egg..

don't like it, not really functional looking, its like walking around with a mini folder, who wants to walk around with a folder.
I don't see this catching on. Neat in concept though.
I picked up a few cool wallets from these guys last friday. The inside is clear, I can see everything quickly and it's very thin.

dood are you kidding me?!? this thing is massive! what the hell pocket am i supposed to stuff that thing in. its bigger than a normal wallet.
this is exactly why i switched out to the umbra, then the jimi, and finally to my purist muji holder i picked up at moma.
