how much can it bend in the pocket? is there a video/example? i do usually brake cards, so wondering how a screen can survive me.

It is a flexible E-ink screen, just like a paper. See more details ok official E-ink display website. http://www.eink.com/flexible.html

I really like the idea. It has a very short timeframe, four months - is that doable?

Not much information about the person or company behind it. $150 is a lot to give without knowing more about who's behind it. I'm tempted to fund it anyway.

We are into this one year, we can manufacture it quickly once campaign is fully funded. You can see about section regarding team info.

> You can see about section regarding team info.

Am I looking at the right place? I see one member of the team, and email-verified. But no information about the experience ("we've brought n products to the market before" even if n is 0), or software expertise for the app or wallet, or...

Good crowdsourcing products have enough info you can feel the team is reliable. I'm not saying you're not, just that I would like to know more about the credentials of those involved first. If they are "this is our first project", that's fine, but be open about it. If not, boast about what you've already done!

And do you have a prototype? I'd love to see a real example in the video, even if it's not as polished as the real thing.

I mean, it's cool. I like the GPS tracking and Audio alerts but It's bad enough I need to charge my watch, never mind having to charge my Wallet as well.
