I found out about
Plastc in the
new wallet thread here last year. It's a single rechargeable e-ink card that can store and mimic mag stripe and chip cards.
It was supposed to launch this summer, but release date has been pushed back to April 2016. When it launches, it is supposed to support any mag stripe or barcode card, and Mastercard chip and pin. Additional chip and pin cards as well as contactless tap is to be supported with an ota update after launch.
Specs
Cost is $180 (US) for the card and 18 months of use. Subscription fee is $50/year.
If you pre-order before April 29, 2016, cost is $155 which includes lifetime subscription.
I ended up pre-ordering. I've constantly been trying to reduce my wallet size for years now. Went from a traditional wallet to a small card holder with money clip, to an elasticized band that holds around 10 cards plus bills. To me, Plastc is the next logical step to my minimalist quest. After that, I anxiously await the shape-shifting key
Also, if anyone is interested in pre-ordering, Plastc gave me a link that gives new buyers a $20 discount (so $135 including lifetime subscription).
The link:
Save $20 on Plastc Pre-order, and also get free lifetime subscription
For full disclosure, using that link to buy Plastc will also give me a $20 Amazon gift card, though I'm not sure if it's a single gift card, or one gift card per usage.
