Ohsnap Wallet 2 Is on Kickstarter and Has Raised $150,000
The modular magnetic pop-up wallet is back with a refined design and three card capacity options. Campaign closes Sept 26.
Ohsnap is a brand I was first made aware of in 2024, when Mark, the COO, got in touch and sent me across the original for review. The unit arrived, and within minutes of unboxing the lever snapped clean off. Not ideal. To their credit, a replacement was in the post almost immediately and the whole thing was handled without any fuss. What I never got to do was actually publish the review, because before I worked through my backlog the original Ohsnap wallet had quietly been pulled from the market. The campaign for Wallet 2 acknowledges there were issues but does not go into specifics. Frustrating if you want the full story, but here we are.
The Ohsnap 2 Wallet Is Here. This Is the Original.
The good news is the Wallet 2 is now live on Kickstarter with over $150,000 raised and a campaign that closes September 26 with an estimated shipping date of February 2027. From what I can see, they have taken everything that worked about the original and built it into something more considered.
What Has Changed From Version 1
The concept is fundamentally the same: a tiny aluminum pop-up wallet where modular accessories attach to either side using magnets. Strong ones too, bipole magnets that Ohsnap claim are considerably more powerful than standard MagSafe. The plates snap on and off cleanly, no adhesive involved, so you can rearrange your setup whenever you feel like it.
What Wallet 2 does differently is give the whole system a proper structure. You pick your Card Core first: a C3, C5, or C7, holding three, five, or seven cards. That core is the foundation and everything else builds around it. The original had a similar modular idea but the Wallet 2 formalizes it into something that actually feels like a coherent system rather than a collection of add-ons.
Cover options include a standard aluminum plate, a Clip Cover for cash, a Band Cover for extra cards, an ID Cover with guide rails that locks your ID in place, and a SnapGrip which is essentially a refined pop-socket built into the wallet system. Premium Burlwood and carbon fiber covers are also available if you want to go full gadget-brained about it.
Why It Is Worth Paying Attention To
The thing that genuinely impresses me about the Ohsnap concept is the size. At its smallest with the C3 core, this is probably the most compact pop-up wallet I have come across. I cannot think of another brand that has managed to fit a functional fanning mechanism into such a tiny footprint. Three cards is admittedly not going to work for everyone, but the C5 and C7 options make it a credible everyday carry without changing the core appeal.
The double-sided magnetic system is also genuinely interesting. The only other wallet doing something similar is the Ekster Cardholder Pro with MagSafe, where accessories attach to either face. Ohsnap’s version is arguably more flexible because the customization goes further, into materials and finishes rather than just functional modules.
The SnapGrip is the standout addition for me personally. A pop-socket built directly into the wallet system is such an obvious idea in hindsight and I am surprised it has taken this long for someone to do it properly.
The Ohsnap Wallet 2 campaign is live at Kickstarter, and I am most likely going to back the project for myself. Modular wallets have been hit or miss over the years, and my first impressions of the Ohsnap 2 are that it is something that has genuinely piqued my interest. For that I must give credit to the brand.
In terms of costs, the wallet can be yours starting at a price of just $45.00 (this is the Kickstarter price and not the RRP) with the price rising to $67 for basically everything. And you know, this is great value for money. It’s been far too common in the wallet world to almost expect around a $100 price tag these days and Ohsnap have done a fantastic job of keeping this wallet affordable.
