Ohsnap Wallet 2 - A Modular Metal Wallet Just 5mm Thick, With Cards That Fan Out

Most metal card wallets stop at "we made it thin, so getting cards out is a hassle." The Ohsnap Wallet 2 cuts the thickness down to 5mm and still adds a mechanism where pressing a lever fans the cards out. It raised 49 times its Kickstarter goal and is now taking late pledges.

📸 Product Look

It's closer to a single metal plate about as thick as a few cards. The ohsnap logo is engraved on the side

Slide the lever and the cards spread out in steps like this. The loop in the back is the clip cover that holds cash

Pick the MagSafe cover and it sticks right to the back of your phone. The card next to it is tucked into the band cover

The three selling points from the maker: RFID-blocking aluminum covers, a lever-operated card fan, and a choice of 3, 5, or 7 cards

The core sets the card count. Pick from 3, 5, or 7, and any cover fits any core

The core is a polycarbonate frame with a rubber retainer inside. The central shaft is the part that pushes the cards up

There are 7 covers: MagStack, Premium (burl wood/carbon), MagSafe, Band (cards), Clip (cash), ID, and basic aluminum

🔍 Why It Caught My Eye

Solving card access without giving up thinness

The trade-off with metal wallets has always been the same. Make it thin and the cards fit tightly; make it easy to pull cards out and it gets thicker. This product puts a lever inside the core, so pressing it pushes the cards out in steps. According to the maker's comparison chart, it's 5mm, half the Ridge Wallet's 11mm, while holding the same number of cards.

Features built in, not bolted on

Stick a cash clip or an ID window onto a wallet and it gets that much thicker. Wallet 2 solves this with swappable covers. Change the front and back covers and you get a cash clip, a card band, an ID window, or MagSafe, with the thickness staying the same. Any cover fits any core, so there's no combination to memorize.

The MagStack cover connects to the Ohsnap ecosystem

The MagStack cover is described as letting you stack another MagSafe accessory on top while the wallet stays on your phone. It's built to be used together with the same brand's grip (Ohsnap Snap Grip).

The numbers back it up

It raised $491,017 against a $10,000 goal, with 5,837 backers. This is Ohsnap's fifth Kickstarter, so the "first-time team" risk that usually comes with crowdfunded products is relatively low.

🤔 What Gives Me Pause

Shipping is limited to the US

This is the biggest obstacle. Every reward is locked to Ships to: Only United States, so getting it in Korea means going through a freight forwarder. That adds forwarding fees, customs duties, and the risk of loss.

Delivery is expected in February 2027

Even if you back it now, you'll wait nearly four months. Since it's crowdfunding, that schedule could slip further.

Areas the maker admits are unfinished

In the risk section, they wrote that they are "refining the fan-out mechanism so it pushes the cards up evenly every time." They say it will be done before mass production, but it also means the core feature of this product is still being tuned.

Buying in Korea

On Coupang, the previous model, the Snap Grip Wallet, is listed as a parallel import at around 160,000 KRW, and I couldn't find any listing for Wallet 2. The names are similar and easy to mix up, so check the model name before ordering.

You don't have to choose a setup now, but eventually you must

Rewards only ask you to pick a "bundle," and sizes and colors are chosen in a survey after funding ends. That's convenient, but you still end up choosing among the 3-, 5-, and 7-card cores and 7 covers yourself.

🛒 Pre-Purchase Checklist

✅ Good for you if

• You gave up on metal wallets because of how awkward it is to get cards out
• 3 to 7 cards and a few bills are enough for you
• You can put up with a freight forwarder and a wait until February 2027

❌ Not for you if

• You carry coins (there's no coin storage)
• You can't accept possible crowdfunding delays or the lack of refunds
• You need a wallet to use right now

🎯 Final Verdict

There are already plenty of thin metal wallets, but few keep it thin while solving both card access and added functionality. Wallet 2 handles both with one structure, separating the core from the covers, and 5,837 backers bought that pitch and turned it into 4,910%.

That said, the real barrier right now isn't the product but shipping. It only ships within the US and arrives in February 2027. If you already use a freight forwarder and can wait, it's worth keeping on your list; if not, it's better to see whether an official Korean distribution opens up.
