Why are there so many wallets on Kickstarter?

Living in Switzerland, this is way to big for me, my pockets aren't that big :) I wouldn't want anything bigger than a phone (my current wallet is ~2/3 of a 5" smartphone).

(Phone in one pocket, wallet, keys and work badge in the other).

I've replaced my wallet with one of these:

It has space for two cards and 3-4 paper notes.

I have two sets of keys; one with my car keys, the other with bicycle keys + work badge.

I went the total opposite with my wallet - comparison with an iPhone 6 plus: http://i.imgur.com/1zGqaGY.jpg ;)

I think priorities are different if you have a purse/bag you regularly use that can hold a wallet. Still couldn't find a wallet I loved though, that one I had to settle for. (I also use a lot of cash when possible so it made sense not to go minimal.)

I'm a lady who carries around a purse or bag on a regular basis and I still prefer a pretty slim wallet; I haven't found anything I like more than the denim Hello Kitty wallet I've been carrying for like twenty years.

I've also all but abandoned cash. My needs are clearly not yours.

I use a lot of cash too--I typically have 20ish bills on my person.

Lately I just fold them up and put them inside the band of a slim wallet. In the past I just bundled them with a rubber band.
