Pelican Hard-Shell Wallets
The Pelican Protector and Protector Money Clip wallets are compact, tech-centric, Magsafe wallets featured in Pelican’s case lineup.
sketching / ideation
Pelican’s mission is to “protect all that you value”. As part of the visual language, I tried to come up with form concepts that were slim enough to live with, but maintained a burly look and feel. Many concepts use a “two band“ visual element which is consistent with a majority of pelican’s product lineup.
Prototype Development
Prototyping the money clip wallet involved trying new mold textures, and designing a clip that held the right combination of rigidity and spring back.
Stand Wallet
We’ve toyed with stand wallet concepts, allowing you to prop your phone up for hands free viewing.
Scalability
The wallet comes in multiple versions. The same base housing is used to save production cost.
Modular System
I came up with options for functional attachments. Here are designs for an airTag compartment and d-ring for attaching the wallet to lanyards and key leashes.
