Interesting offer, with fixed lug case. 14.7mm...doubles as a step-stool?

It's an interesting project and storytelling. I like the ''water drop'' style case design.

Just bumping this post to see if anyone has any news or knows someone connected with this project. I felt confidant backing this kickstarter due to their past history of successful offerings. Now crickets. They don't respond to requests for updates, their last kickstarter update was in January. No activity on their Facebook site since last year but a vague promise on their Instagram about 2 months ago about possible shipments soon? They seemed to be on the up and up, I know the virus and all happened but many kickstarters after theirs have finished and shipped. Hoping to get an update soon!

My follow up typically ends to see if the campaign was successful or not. Hopefully someone else may be able to shed some light.

I take it you've emailed them directly, as opposed to messaging through Kickstarter?

I've been waiting on a Kickstarter myself that was supposed to ship in March. All I can do is be patient.

Just tried through their website as they had not replied to me or others through kickstarter. Will update if I hear anything
