The design, which won the Silver A' Digital and Electronic Device Design Award in 2017, is a testament to Lin's commitment to crafting quality elements that accentuate our increasingly mobile lives.
Asher Lin's inspiration for the iKlips Wizard stems from a desire to create quality-crafted elements that enhance our digital lives. The design's unique properties set it apart from other card readers on the market. It connects to an iOS device via a lightning connector and a computer via a USB-A port, allowing for easy data transfer and expanded storage capacity. The iKlips Wizard is compatible with the iKlips app, enabling users to backup, view, and manage files intuitively.
The iKlips Wizard's unique magnetic cap design is a standout feature. This allows users to attach it to nearby metals, preventing it from getting lost. Moreover, when paired with a metal plate on the back of the phone, the magnetic cap can be used as a stand for the iPhone, showcasing the design's versatility.

Available in five magical colors, the iKlips Wizard embodies a unique and flexible design, further enhanced by its magnetic cap and ADAM plate for versatile storage on the go.
