The card reader that fits in one's pocket is also a memory stick.

The tiny ID card reader reached the Estonian market on Tuesday, the authors say that their first client was President Toomas-Hendrik Ilves, who has tweeted about +ID in Twitter earlier.

Designer Martin Lazarev who lives now in Brazil had the idea of +ID four years ago. "When you travel, you don’t want to carry all these wires with you and as a designer I just figured out a solution to solve this issue in as ergonomic and compact way as possible," said Lazarev about his cross-shaped gadget.

With the help of three friends, Argo Männiste, Arte Ermel and Argo Karusoo, they managed to make the comfortable card reader a reality. Since all team members are located all across the world, it took around for years for the card reader to be completed. The card reader is produced in Taiwan.
