Possibly a pocket killer??

While this device is not designed for pocket carry, I have no problem with it being in my pocket - especially if I keep it in the soft velvet bag that it comes in.

To be clear though - This device is meant to keep your cards overnight for example, when you're done with your daily card routine. If you were to perform throughout the day, then pop the deck of cards into the Compressor V1 - They'll be perfect in the morning, and greatly extend the lifetime of your premium cards.

It really does make a huge difference - I'd be happy to send you one (at my expense) so you can see for yourself.

I do like the compression factor for variable thickness. That will allow keeping gaffe, jokers, and others with a deck too.

Certainly - To give you an idea on the adjustability, it can accommodate the thickness of a new deck of rider backs + 20 additional cards on top! I have hundreds of decks and they all fit no problem.

The only decks you'd have trouble with would be oversized, specialty tuck boxes - I just don't personally have any of those. But if I did, I would simply put the cards into a standard tuck box or one of those clear plastic tucks and then I'd be good to go!

@BrianP11383 this looks really cool! Do you have STL files? I have a 3d printer and would love to give feedback!

Hey Brian,

I am always looking for a way to extend the life of my cards. I have tried other clips and they were ok but I have yet to find one that really does the job. I work in a magic shop, have cards in my hands most of the day, and go through them like they're free. I literally wash my hands before I pick them up in an effort to keep them clean, but moisture is of course always going to be an issue and trying to keep them in good shape is tough even with a clip.

I can get maybe a few days out of a deck but thats really about it. There have also been times I have opened one in the morning and threw it out at the end of the day. I'm curious to see how the compressor does.

What is the cost per unit?

Thanks

Hey - Thanks for reaching out! Only 10 days left on Kickstarter to get discount pricing, check it out: Kickstarter Project

The S52 Compressor V1 does a phenomenal job on extending the life of your cards, which is why I invented it.

I'm just like you, I've got cards in my hands all day, doing Faros for fun...lol. However, after 8-16 Faros, I put them back in the Compressor and take out another deck, rinse and repeat.
I drop a lot of money on premium decks these days - Limited Editions as well, not just for collecting but I like to get my hands on them too. This is the main reason I built this product - It does an amazing job at keeping all your cards flat and in like new condition!
