Why Esee?

Esee is always with you and is available with one simple motion. Simply pull the lens out of the wallet case and you are ready to read easy again. No searching through a purse or forgetting glasses at home with ESEE.

ESEE is the perfect tool to help with reading small text wherever you go. Since ESEE travels in your wallet, it will naturally be with you: at the grocery store, the restaurant, in the car, around your home, on the airplane, or any other place life takes you!

The Versions:

Esee offers both a phone wallet and a standalone wallet. Read on to determine which version is the best for your lifestyle!

Esee Standalone Wallet and Lens:

Do you prefer to carry a wallet? Combine your reading glasses and wallet into one product with Esee's Standalone Wallet. The slim wallet version of Esee is 1/3 the thickness of standard wallets and  can still hold up to 9 cards. The wallet has a pocket designed for the Esee lens that can be slid out to use, or fully removed. 

Inside the wallet there is a license holder for quick ID referencing. You don't leave home without your wallet, now you won't ever leave without your readers either!

The ESEE classic wallet is a great way to condense your everyday items when out and about. The classic wallet is much thinner then your standard wallet and can still hold everything you need and more. Now your wallet will be your "glasses" too!

ESEE Phone Wallet and Lens:

Already use a phone wallet or interested in leaving your wallet and glasses at home?

Esee's phone wallet is made of the same premium materials as our standalone wallet and fits on the back of almost any smartphone! 

For iPhone 12 and newer, Esee can magnetically attach to your phone! For  others devices, or if you do not want the wallet removable from the phone, we offer Esee with a premium adhesive strip to attach to your phone or phone case.


   

The Design:

How it Works:

The Esee lens, while ultra flat and thin, is not magic. It works using a lens style called a Fresnel lens. The lens has super-thin rounded circular raised portions that bend light similar to a standard magnifying glass to allow for text to be focused and enlarged. Esee has taken this technology one step further and optimized the lens for reading. We've made the lens ultra-thin, ultra-strong, and added anti-glare and scratch features to make this technology more practical for everyday use.

 

The Lens:

 The lens design is shatter proof, scratch proof, and ultra clear and provides up to 4X magnification.

The Case:

 The case is made of premium vegan leather in a variety of colors to match your style. We've tested this leather in some pretty wild ways to ensure that it will remain in the same pristine condition that you bought it in for years to come.

The phone wallet holds 1-4 cards and can also be used for holding cash or other small thin items.

The Colors:

Esee comes in a variety of colors for whether you like the sleek black look, a classic brown, a bright white, navy blue, or cherry red. Place your purchase and after the campaign a survey will be sent to you where you can choose the color (or colors) that match you best.

Esee Offers Five Captivating Colors to Match your Personal Style

The Phone Wallet Installation:

 

In the survey following the campaign, choose between the magnetic or adhesive version for your phone wallet. Remember, the magnetic version is handy for more than just your iPhone, stick it to your fridge, computer, toolbox, white board, or pretty much anything magnetic!

Magnetic:

Attaching couldn't be easier, simply line Esee up to the center of your phone as shown below and boom, better vision always within reach. When using you can either slide the lens out while on your phone or pull esee off for a quick magnification then place right after you use it onto your phone again for safe storage.

The magnetic version of Esee will attach to any iPhone 12 or newer. If you use a case with your phone, ensure that you have a Magsafe case so that the magnets can work through the case. If you don't make sure you purchase a  Magsafe Case reward add on and in your survey select the iPhone model you have and we will provide the case with your purchase. 

Adhesive:

When using the adhesive version, ensure that the surface you want to adhere to is clean first, then peel the adhesive cover off of the Esee and press firmly onto the surface for 30 seconds. Watch the clip below to see this in action, it's that easy.


The Rewards:

Your favorite color is blue, but maybe black looks better on that new case? You can't decide between the phone version or the slim wallet? No matter the color or version, Esee has you covered. For now simply choose the quantity that you want and in the final survey you can choose whichever colors and versions you want. The combinations are endless! 

All rewards come with both the wallet and lens. In the post-campaign survey you can choose what type of wallet and color you want.

A Thank You from the Founder:

Whether you choose to purchase or not, I truly appreciate you learning more about ESEE. My team and I have been designing consumer products for over ten years with the single purpose of trying to make everyday life more convenient and enjoyable.

Since obtaining a degree in Mechanical Engineering, I have always loved the challenge of problem solving. Life can be complex, and by just simply paying attention to the challenges of everyday life, I have been able to help others by thinking up solutions to make things just a little easier.

ESEE came about one day when a design  team member out of nowhere complained "I wish there was an easier way to read on-the-go without always having to remember my glasses". Then just like many good ideas, a problem was identified, and the team was off to find a solution. 

The design challenge was to find a solution that would: always be with the user, ultra-strong, and most importantly be quick and effective to use. 

We identified phones and wallets as items that almost everyone always carried on them so we decided to go with a combination of offerings with these two items for whether the user wants to carry esee on its own as a classic wallet or combined with a phone wallet.

Through a somewhat outrageous amount of material testing, functional designs, and user studies, Kickstart Products believes they have come up with the perfect solution for any user. However, we know that any product has room for improvements so feel free to comment, email us, or heck even snail-mail us with any suggestions you have to make Esee even better!
