S
Memory
is a USB drive designed to slip right into a wallet
for easy access. With up to 128GB capacity and a credit card shape,
the S Memory is simple but generous.

Made from a choice of aircraft grade
aluminum for durability or titanium, the drive is contemporary with
its flat bottle opener shape, suitable for both work and play with
its 128GB memory and portable whether it’s being toted around town or
used on the commute to work.

Many who rely on their computers for
work or study will have felt the cold dread of losing a USB memory
stick before an important presentation. For some, misplacing a flash
drive means staying up until the early hours completing overdue work
for the second time. Others lose memories in photos and videos which
disappear with frustrating frequency along with a traditional drive
when it goes astray. The wallet-sized USB drive can be carried around
in that most sacred of places, fitting amongst credit cards, family
photos and drivers licenses, so it is always to hand.

A spokesman for Beyond Vision,
the team behind S Memory, says: "As with many Kickstarter
projects, we started with a common problem and envisioned an
innovative solution. As developers and product designers ourselves,
we were growing tired of forgetting where we had put our USB drives,
and wanted to offer users a way to keep their flash memory close and
secure. Our solution was S Memory, which is slim, stylish and very
simple. It also enables us to develop a thinner and lighter product
with great aesthetics and finishing. With stunning precision, the end
product is simply astonishing – the fruit of months of research and
design – it feels great in the palm of your hand and will change the
way you perceive a USB forever. Even with the advent of cloud
computing, high capacity USBs are an integral addition to any
computer or internet connection and we expect this to continue for
the foreseeable future.
"

The thinness and lightness of the S
Memory USB drive is attributed to the selection of materials it is
crafted from – either 6061 aircraft aluminum or high-end titanium.
Both options provide strength and durability, which means the USB
won’t become damaged when a wallet is bouncing around at the bottom
of a work bag. In both cases, the choice of material allowed the team
to create a product that combines form and function. It also features
a bottle opener for convenience and a little slice of novelty;
how many other USB drives can also get the party started? The
campaign has been launched to help fund aspects of the product
development including package design, aluminum sourcing, quality
control and shipping.

Pledges from backers can start from just £1
and go all the way up to £149
, with a range of rewards for anyone
who supports the project.
