Card-Wrapping Straps

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The Hold'em Lets You Easily Wrangle Together Loose Playing Cards

— February 3, 2016 — Tech
The Hold'em is an incredibly appropriately named and brilliantly simple card strap product that is designed to make it easier for you to organize loose playing cards and stack them into place.

Available from Animi Causa for the reasonable price of $8, the Hold'em takes the form of a simple and solid silicone band that is capable of wrapping around a standard deck of 52 cards and keeping them in place.

While many people use elastic bands and the like to hold together playing cards, these can cut into cards' edges and damage their shape and appearance. The Hold'em's shape means it doesn't do that, and instead conforms to the cards and holds them together snugly.

This card strap will appeal to anyone who's faced the frustration of dealing with cards missing from their deck.
