Safe and Secure: Unconventional Switch

This snap fastener switch lights up a green LED when the wallet is closed. It does this by closing the circuit when the metal portions of the fastener affixed to the inside of the wallet are connected; though it only does so when they are properly snapped together. It adds another source of feedback for when the wallet is closed alongside the actual snap sound that is made. The light is a more effective indicator in that it is not present when the wallet is partially shut but not secured; the sound can sometimes be created to a lesser degree when one side of the fastener clips the outer edge of the other. While not especially suited for this particular style of wallet, it would be multi-purpose. Allowing for a user to see at a glance if the wallet is properly secured and also drawing attention to the wallet in a potentially cluttered space such as a purse or drawer.
