Did it ever get shipped to those who prepaid for personal use?

I don't think any of those shipped or the other models.

Apple/Samsung/Android Pay kinda killed that niche before it could get anywhere.

It was a multiple credit card replacement.

You could scan and store all of your cards on it for use on purchases. You could scroll through the cards using a button to select the card you wanted and swipe it.

I had one but it didn’t work at a lot of places. It was great when it worked it just wasn’t reliable enough.

There's something called The One Card that does the same thing and works. A few weeks ago we had like 50 people in the hotel beta testing a different version of this and it didn't work for shite. Or maybe the people beta testing were all broke and that's why their cards declined.

Plastc was the other one that looked cool but eventually failed, leaving a ton of people holding the bag. I preordered one on Black Friday that allowed me to preorder without paying anything until it shipped. No way in hell was I going to throw down $100 on some pipe dream with a high likelihood of failing, which it did.

I did, it was a great setup...but the EMV laws (cards must have the chips) killed their business. You can out several cards in one, but the chips situation made them obsolete immediately.

Because a shitload of people pre-ordered them, and they either: a) never received or b) after several delays, received it, but it never really worked.
