How did the Keylet come about?

While jogging one day, the keys in my pocket kept jingling and my other pocket housed a rather bulky wallet; it was uncomfortable and inefficient. In addition, the wallets that are currently being used wear out quickly after several months. We wanted to solve these dilemmas; we wanted to create a wallet that would eliminate clutter, possess a slim profile, and be durable. And, after a multitude of prototypes, we have found the perfect solution:

The Keylet

However, after talking with family and friends, another problem presented itself: the number of keys the Keylet could hold. To solve this problem, we came up with:

The Key Caddy:

This convenient companion to the Keylet provides the perfect complement for those that carry around a multitude of keys.

The Design Process:           

       

When we first set out with the initial design, we wanted it to be the following:

· To be unique

· To be sophisticated

· To be compact and efficient, while allowing easy access to all the important essentials.

· To not be restricted by traditional wallet design.

· To be strong enough to withstand the rigors and beating of an active lifestyle.

· To divert from the status quo and rethink what a wallet should be able to do.

· To be made right here in the U.S.A

We spent over a year designing and redesigning the Keylet until we felt it captured the true essence of what we envisioned. When constructing the Keylet, we did it with a passion and a purpose. Why make something that we do not believe in and would not use every day?

Material and Construction:

It took a lot of refining and countless hours of research to decide what the best material for our creation would be. We need it to be durable, withstand even the most active and on-the-go lifestyle, but at the same time provide the finest quality and promote simplicity. So, we:

· Used precision construction and machinery for quality

· Used 304 Stainless Steel with a number 4 brushed finished -- by using this alloy for the two outer plates, it provides rigidity and with the number 4 brushed finish, it helps protect against scratches.

· Used a 6061 aluminium core for keeping the overall product lightweight.

· Used counter-sunk holes for a flush design

The design of the Keylet was kept simple, and, in doing so, this made it easy to finalize construction.

Competition:

· Traditional wallets are bulky and cumbersome

· Most wallets wear out within a few years, if not a few months

· Most money clips made from the same respectable material retail for over $80!

· Many competitors advertise that they will hold everything you need, but this is clearly not the case

· Requires the consumer to pay a premium for more sophisticated wallets

What we need the money for:
