Another idea we had.
This is for fursuiters who struggle to have a way to keep their key cards, and other things accessible while in suit.
So, we invented this solution.
It's a wallet that fits under your suit.
Anyone interested?
Lot's of people are saying they like this idea... but not
+fav this submission. If we are going to produce this item, we need a large enough pool of people willing to buy. So, please support us if you like this by simply hitting +fav
While I am usually pretty good with my irritability, and keeping it in check.. This normally cuddly Lemur is low on coffee today, and is asking you a favor.
Please refrain from design tips already covered at this stage. Many of the questions have already been answered.
I have been doing this sort of stuff for a little while, and until the refined version comes out I do not want to continually remind people that we are already well aware of the concerns..
Just to be clear about the most mentioned items.
-Yes, it will have a retaining strap for your cards
-No, your cards are no more susceptible to damage over that of any other wallet
-Yes, we will most likely have an ankle version as well.
If you do want to offer advice.. please do..
But I will offer this advice.
-Make sure I have not already answered the question in the comments section below.
-Paypal me 3 dollars for coffee, to help me curb my irritability and remain the sweet and lovable lemur I hope to be, and help me politely answer your question.
-I love you all, but even lemurs have bad fur days.

We are trying to see how popular of an idea it would be.
how; to figure out how to hold ones cell phone :P
Should get this on kickstarter haha xD
What colors or patterns would you want to see in the 2.0?
Hmmm:
Strap colors: black, white, nude
Holder: roygbiv, black, white, grey (maybe a teal ^.^ personal fave there)
Obviously for production purposes probably narrow it down, but that would give a good range that can either be blaringly obvious, or nicely subtle. the range of colors would make it easier to mask against the colors of a suit, or simply look good on their own. and even maybe provide a way to simply represent yourchar even out of suit by having your colors on display.
Maybe to basic mass produced ones at the typical - b/w/n with b/w/n pouches and have the colors be customizable for a small service fee of 5-10$
Whereas if I did suit, a nude on nude for cheap would be just fine since it is more about function than form.
i dont full suit enough for this to be necessary for me, but i hope you get lots of customers for it :D
I remember seeing someone with a pocket like this but built into the inside of the sleeve of their suit instead of on a wristband. This is a nice non-permanent/destructive solution! Maybe toss a velcro strap or somethign over the top? I feel like with the way suiters flail their arms around centrifugal force would throw the cards out of vertical slots like that...
But yeah, we are already planning a strap for the 2.0. that. We really didn't have a lot of free time to make this, as we made this one while waiting on a part to cast for a suit we are working on. So, we will have a much more refined version soon.
Yeah i'm sure you'd considered all this and id assume how tight it is on the wrist makes a big difference as far as stuff staying in/falling out.
Still a rad idea!
Only issue I've experienced is moisture where I've had a hotel keycard start to not work after suiting before.
Definitely interested!
It is tucked up flat against your arm. For you to bend, or crush a card, you would most likely also have to break the arm the card is affixed to.
I'm sure everything will work out great for ya :3
I agree with Chronidu on this " suggestion would be maybe adding some kind of a snap to go over the cards so that they don't fall out should the card pockets get a bit stretched out with use ". Also for added security.
Also was thinking if the material is stretchy enough that can be wore on a person's ankle as well. This way can have the option on where to wear the wallet but also can wear it outside of suit, like if traveling, especially aboard
I'm just yanking your chain, Lace.
Yes, we will be adding a strap to the top... as mentioned many, many times before.
If you ever wanted something custom, I am sure we could figure it out for you. Ankle would be easy enough.
Now, I do have to ask, what did you mean by outside the of the suit? Can you describe what you are looking for?
Overall saying your idea can be used for everyday use and not just fursuiting. Got multiple potentials :)
Though it is somewhat ad nauseam to mention, yes, there will be a strap over the top.
When you introduce a new idea like this you always hear about these things that people do. I for one have never had that issue (I was born, and still live in Florida).
I am going to go out on a limb here and say if the 30 pounds of faux fur has not made you overheat, 4 inches of neoprene on your wrist should not put you over that edge.
I will have to try that next time I am hot though.
Interesting home remedy.
If you don't mind me asking, where is your mom from?
Will the wrist size be osfa or custom?
Have you faced any issues with blood constriction to the hand from the strap? That would be my biggest concern, is getting a pins-and-needles hand after a bit of time
It's no worse than a wrist watch. If anything it is more comfortable, as it has a much larger surface area.
on your way to becoming a bigger company that way lol.
either that or just make them constantly in spare time and sell em at cons at your table. probably would be the easiest way to go. make one a night kinda thing.
I do have a question tho. in terms of general cosplay and such, do you think you'd come out with other versions, like an upper arm version and a thigh version? these really can be applied to other things besides fursuiting, and it would give you a broader target audience to have other versions of those kinds.
oh, second question. are they able to be worn backwards, with card hole facing towards your arm instead of away? or are they kinda shaped to be worn one way? with or without the restraint strap some people might prefer the cards face them as added security.
Something with stretch to reach at least you fingertips so it is usable.

I came at it from the fursuiters perspective.
I'll probably get one for future use when I get different arm sleeves since my paws are actually connected to them.
I'll share this around with my other fursuiter friends and see what they think! ^-^
My underlayer is usually a diveskin, and I just slide my ID and room key up the back of my left wrist; but if I needed to use something shortsleeved in a pinch, this would be a great backup option.
Or heck, even out of suit. I ride motorcycles, and am forever forgetting I might need gas until it's time to rock up at the gas station (again) and go rooting through my overpants (again) to try to get to the wallet in my bluejeans underneath. Having it all right there where I can just pull the gloves off and take care of business would be pretty stellar. I would imagine even moreso for riders in closer-fitting track day stuff that's designed to be worn instead of, vs. overtop of, your regular clothes, where a full wallet might not fit comfortably in any of the upper-body pockets.
it's like the wallet of assassins creed.
+fave all the way
