Check out the incredible story behind the invention of Slivver, an antimicrobial credit card sleeve stylus, and its Indiegogo campaign.
Greenwich, CT, May 11, 2015 (Newswire.com) - Galazin Products, LLC announces the launch of Slivver, a slim credit card sleeve that covers one lengthwise edge of any standard credit card. Slivver is made of conductive plastic, allowing the corner of the attached card to act as a stylus to tap and sign on touch screens - especially helpful when users are making purchases on public and frequently used touch screens (self checkout at the grocery store, ATM etc.). Slivver not only eliminates the need for users to physically touch germ-covered touch screens which consistently carry high levels of germs and bacteria, the material itself is antimicrobial, meaning that even if users touch Slivver, or put it back in their wallet, they can rest assured that they are not transporting germs. Credit cards with Slivver attached fit easily within most wallets, and the extra grip helps users remove cards from tight wallet slots.
“Public touch screens are becoming more and more prevalent - almost unavoidable when we’re doing any kind of daily transaction. But most touch screens - our personal devices as well as publicly used screens, are covered in an alarming amount of filth and bacteria. Slivver protects your skin using the very object you’re probably going to pay with.” Tony Galazin, Founder & CEO, Galazin Products
More than a Stylus. Because standard styluses are relatively expensive and only serve a single function, it is not practical for the average consumer to carry one around simply to avoid germs on shared touch screens. Unlike a normal stylus, Slivver is not another object that users must remember to bring with them - it’s a credit card accessory. Once it attaches securely to a credit card, users never have to think about remembering it again.
