In that case, the best analogy would have been to say it was "wallet-sized."

It's more accurate, and just as easy to relate to.

"wallet-sized" means nothing to me since wallets come in all kinds of sizes, from just bigger than a credit card to larger than two iPhones side by side. Credit cards are all the same size.

And none of those credit cards are the size of a Veer.
