Analysis

Existing cardholders fall into two types:
1. a separate case with card slots
2. a cardholder with one compartment that holds a maximum of 2–3 cards and attaches to a phone or is built into a case

Neither option solves the problems faced by the target audience—individual cardholders are easily lost or forgotten, accessing the cards is inconvenient, and they all look identical, making them difficult to distinguish and identify.

Cardholders attached to sleeves or using MagSafe, in addition to the issues mentioned above, can interfere with the magnetic strip of the cards and may not accommodate all necessary cards.

Problem Resolution

Create a card holder that attaches to the phone without risking the magnetic stripe of the cards, holds a variable number of cards, and allows you to easily see and pull out the one you need.

Concept and Visualization

Each module is crafted from lightweight, semi-transparent matte plastic. The open top allows for quick access to the card, while tight side clips securely hold it in place. The minimalist design adds almost no bulk. Silicone stoppers provide an extra layer of protection, preventing the card from falling out of the cardholder.

Thanks to the Snap-fit modular attachment, the card holders connect with a single press, forming a unified system. The swivel mechanism allows them to unfold like a fan, enabling instant location of the desired card or compact stacking. An additional ring allows the card holder to be attached to a keychain and, crucially, to keys, helping to distribute volume. The entire design allows the user to independently adjust the quantity.

One of the cardholders in the set has a lip on the back to attach it to a phone or any other smooth surface.

The compact built-in ring allows you to attach the card holder to keys, a carabiner, a bag, or a belt, turning it into a convenient accessory that is always within reach.

Each cardholder can be personalized using a set of company-themed, dimensional 3D stickers included in the kit.

SIBUR. More than plastic. More than a card holder.
