You could vastly improve the gimmick just by reducing the number of moving parts.
Depending on how you're counting, the current gimmick has 2 moving parts with about 4 ways to go wrong (Part 1 triggers prematurely, part 2 triggers prematurely, parts 1 and 2 cross how they shouldn't, improper setup prevents triggering). Reduce to 1 moving part. Now there's only one way for it to go wrong, which is triggering prematurely. There's nothing to cross, so there's no issue there, and you can't set it up improperly because it only has one moving part. Even if the gimmick "creeps" it won't really look suspicious, whereas any "creeping" by the existing gimmick will be VERY noticeable.
Think inside the box. . . it's less crowded.

A review from Straight Talk Magic - "this trick is super cool and very strong. It is seemingly impromptu with your everyday phone and will certainly befuddle your spectators."

Stash – Jasper Jongejans
Product description: Card to impossible location, a dream for many magician, with various forms : wooden box, metal box, candy box, envelope etc.. Jasper Jongejans is providing his solution for having the card between your phone and your clear case, it’s sitting here from the beginning. Someone is selecting a card, he signs it, and it is lost in the deck. You remove your case from your phone and you show the card inside, it’s the signed one ! It looks cool, sounds cool, you want it to be cool.. But is it cool ? Let’s find out. Price and where to buy it: This is sold at $25 and you can find it in nearly every Murphy's magic partner ! What you get: The cardboard packaging is nice, it’s like many packaging from Magic From Holland. Inside, you have a link so you can watch the explanation video, it’s quite well made, you learn how to “make” the gimmick with the one provided, it should work with anything : bill, train ticket etc.. The gimmick which is provided can be used to “produce” a red bicycle card or a blue one, I must say that the design is clever. You need to provide your own phone and clear case. Overall, it’s quite cheap, the gimmick is almost ready to go, but I had trouble setting it up in my phone case. It’s hard to setup and hard to make it stay flat without triggering. But we will see that in the cons. Teaser: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xl5EsvP5yJw The pros and the cons: Here is the core of my review, let's begin with the cons, as I will usually be doing, I prefer to keep the good things for the end. THE CONS: - As I said, it’s quite difficult to use, the gimmick is very tight and making it look right is a pain in the ***. It keeps moving and triggering by itself, I managed to set it up nicely once but it was the only time it looked ok. - You’re limited to bicycle back with this gimmick. - You have to have a phone which is large enough so you can put a full playing card behind it and you also have to use a clear case. That’s a lot only for one effect. THE PROS: - The gimmick is clever, the fact you can show either a red or a blue card is nice. - The retention of vision, when you manage to set your gimmick, is also interesting, the move is quite fooling. - The card isn’t folded so you can reuse afterward, that’s a big plus in my opinion. - I think this is more dedicated to a one shot performance, you set the gimmick before you do your routine, and once it’s done, you won’t bother fiddling with the gimmicks in order to do it again. Overall rating: I was quite disappointed with Stash, the idea behind it is good but the gimmick and the limitations are too severe for me, I won’t be using it and I don’t think anyone will, 1.5/4 hearts. As for the difficulty level, if you manage to setup the gimmick, you’re good to go, but you need patience, 3/5 stars. Similar products: Card under the phone case is not something very common, Peter Eggink put out something with the case but not a card to impossible location.
