Hyper Slim Eclipse Wallet Launches on Kickstarter
A Kickstarter wallet that keeps things simple with a sleek elastic design and an ultra-low price point.
Minimalist wallets come in all shapes and sizes, but every so often a new design appears that takes the idea of simplicity to the extreme. The Eclipse Wallet is one such release, an elastic-based cardholder that’s as affordable as it is pared-back. Today we briefly check out this wallet and disuss whether it deserves your backing.
A new contender in the minimalist wallet space has just hit Kickstarter. The Eclipse Wallet, created by Modern Carry, is a simple yet strikingly effective design that strips things down to the bare essentials. At the time of writing, the campaign has already raised nearly $1,000 from 73 backers with 28 days still left to go.
The Eclipse is built around one idea: simplicity. Instead of metal plates or pop-up mechanisms, it’s essentially a folded piece of elastic that holds your cards tightly in place. That may sound basic, but it’s part of the appeal. Its wider band keeps everything stacked neatly, while the full-coverage design means cards are completely hidden from view, unlike many open-sided alternatives. The result is a wallet that’s lightweight, slim, and more comfortable in the pocket than rigid cardholders.
What makes this especially interesting is how much it echoes the now-defunct naoLoop Wallet, which followed a similar elastic-based concept but added extra features such as a slot for a pen. With the naoLoop no longer available, the Eclipse feels like a spiritual successor, offering the same minimalist practicality in a refreshed form.
The campaign also makes a strong case for the wallet’s affordability. With early Kickstarter pledges starting at just $4 per wallet, the Eclipse sits in a price bracket few competitors can touch. For comparison, most elastic-style cardholders typically retail at several times that cost, making the Eclipse an incredibly budget-friendly option for anyone curious about minimalist carry.
Key features include space for 2–12 cards, full coverage for extra security, and easy access from either side when you need to grab a card. Built from premium elastic with reinforced stitching, it promises durability while staying feather-light. The design also reflects the modern carry mindset, since digital wallets like Apple Pay have reduced the need for constant card access, Eclipse is designed to keep them secure until you really need them.
With a clean look, small footprint, and almost unbeatable price, the Eclipse Wallet is shaping up to be one of the most accessible minimalist wallets to launch in years. Whether it can capture the same cult following that other elastic-based wallets once enjoyed remains to be seen, but with its mix of simplicity and value, it’s off to a promising start.
