  @ Matthias
  
  Actually in the last update the estimated shipment date is this week.
  
  UPDATED SHIPPING TIMELINE:
  
  It is always difficult to delay shipping. Still, our standard for delivering premium products of the highest quality outweighs meeting our original target date. We are very excited to get these out the door and I am personally heading to China next week with our team to sign off on the new tool and kick off final production.
  
  So, based of the final change to the smooth rubber tip, here is our adjusted shipping timeline:
  
  ·       4/16 Tooling for the new tip kicks off (takes 20 days).
  
  ·       5/8 First parts off tool are scheduled. Parts to be reviewed/revised and approved by 5/10.
  
  ·       5/11 Pilot production kicks off on first 250 pens.
  
  ·       5/14 Kick-off approval for full production ramps up.
  
  ·       5/18 Finished goods start moving to fulfillment house.
  
  ·       5/21 Fulfillment house starts pack out.
  
  ·       5/25 (Week of) target date to start shipping to Kickstarter backers
  
  LunaTik is a brand uncompromising in design detail and quality. While we understand that delays are frustrating, it is always in the best interest of our backers. Without you guys, this couldn’t happen and we thank you for your understanding.
  
  They are actually in the process of giving us an update.
  
  We will get our rewards soon. One thing about this team, they don't compromise on quality.

  Thanks for the update Scott much appreciated, it is better than the folks at LandingZone which I feel for the backers who have not heard anything for weeks.

  @Chel- some of the team is still on the ground in China, which is why we haven't posted our update yet. We are putting together what we know and will fill everyone in in the next couple of days! Thank you all for your patience!

  Scott, while I respect that you have a lot going on, if you have an update you should post it. Waiting two days to post information you already have is a little frustrating on our side of things. Please fill us in? Thanks!

  Is there some reason why the ship date timeline has not been confirmed/updated? The last project update issued was almost 30 days ago. You are starting to make me think that this product will never be "finished" but always in the tinkering stage.

  @shoji
  ありごとございます。I appreciate you giving me the correct words. I never realized that a japanese word could have more than one pronunciation.
  Your english is fine for me. I understand your communication. We are both learning!
13. ramses reyes on May 20
  
  I didn't remember the ship address i give you to send my lunatik touch pen, is there a way to check if is up to date?
14. Judith Benz on May 20
  
  @Kevin Wilson Thanks for the hint!
15. Kevin Wilson on May 17
  
  Judith, look at the last update. There is a shipping calendar. The shipping isn't planned for another week.
16. Judith Benz on May 17
  
  I have not yet received my touch pen. When is it expected to ship? Thanks.
17. Shoji Kawano on May 16
  
  @Scott and Juan,
  Thank you for your comment. I hope so that.
  Juan, your Japanese is very good for me.
  Japanese "Kanji" characters show meaning and have some pronunciations. Perhaps "Shitate (下手) " that you wrote is pronounced "Heta (not good or poor)" in correctly . "Shitate" is meaning to "be modest" or "an underarm throw".
  Japanese is very difficult for foreigner, and so many Japanese is not good for English as well.
  I know my English is too much poor ;). sorry.
  
  "Satoi" is maybe "Kashikoi" as "smart ,wise or clever"

  @ Shoji- The TouchPen is very durable. The tip is made of a firmer rubber, which gives a more precise feel when in use.

  Scott have never replied my questions about durability. I'm afraid that LunaTikTouch Pen quality is so bad. especially grip parts ;)
22. Marie-Andree Poisson on May 11
  
  According to the plan, pilot production should have start today. Is it the case?
23. Carlos Morán on May 10
  
  But i think the logo LunaTik looks better than the new. And this has not technical problems, like the rubber grip.
  I want to ask, why change this?
24. Carlos Morán on May 10
  
  Good idea, to change the rubber grip design.
  The design it´s cleaner now.

  @Helene- just shoot me an email to jillian@lunatik.com with your full name + updated address. Thanks!
  @Dan- thank you!

  Love the Touch Pen idea and am looking forward to reviewing it. We are trying to do our part to help publicize it. Feel free to leave a comment on the post we did on Gear Diary.

  I never received my order.

  Can I have a spare of rubber grip?
  Maybe the rubber grip is consumable parts, it will be bad status before ink was empty for some people.
31. Kevin Wilson on May 1
  
  I'm with you on that one, Juan ... I see the benefit of the stylus that you can keep in the headphone jack (which is unused about 90 percent of the time on most phones and tablets). But the size makes it pretty much useless as a tool ... there's a reason pencils and pens are 5-6 inches long.
32. Juan Mitchell on May 1
  
  So… if it's this small, why not just use your finger?

  @Xishan- We agree with your concerns about the rubber grip and we are not satisfied with it yet either. That's why we are currently retooling the part without the knurl pattern to reduce part lines and molding flash. We shared a lot of the factors that contributed to this decision in our latest update. Check it out under the "Updates" tab above and, as always, thanks to everyone for your comments.
34. Xishan on April 28
  
  The ilounge picture of the pen rubber grips really looks quite bad. Just wondering why the pictures differ from the ones shown on the videos ...

  Minimal projects are the benchmark for developer to update backers. I wish Scott and his team the best, keep up the great job. Still waiting on you to launch of the LunaTik Bluetooth adapter.

  I have moved, How do I change my shipping address?
39. Shoji Kawano on April 22
  
  There is a few days in April.
  In fact, can we get the Pen in this week?
40. Anthony Bailey on April 20
  
  Hey guys,
  
  Just in regards to the shipping address, if we need to change these details, can we update this direct with Amazon, or will you use the details we provided in that previous Kickstarter form?
  
  Regards.

  One friend says Gmail because nobody would understand the Twitter handle. Another friend says if they don't know the Twitter language, they don't deserve to know.

  @Kevin
  I dont know... If you got the Anniversary Pledge they will be laser engraved already and it may add clutter to the pen if you add more. For the PHX Pen, it wouldn't hurt to add something to it. Twitter name is fine... Gmail too long... Or you could add something that has a lot of meaning to you.

  With two weeks left was wondering how things are coming along? Can't wait as I've been drawing wit my pogo stylus and resisting buying the Bamboo stylus because I know it's coming soon! I discovered the Paper app which is making me anxious to see how the Touch will work with sketching.
  
  The pogo's tip isn't working too hot on that.
45. Kevin Wilson on April 9
  
  Question for the group ... I'm consdiering getting this (and my PHX Pen) laser etched by a local jewelry store. I'm going with either my Twitter handle (@kevinwilson16) or my email address (kevinwilson16@gmail.com). I'm not that concerned about extra money for letters, because it's a difference of a few bucks either way. Which one should I go with, and do you guys like a particular font?
46. Juan Mitchell on April 8
  
  @Kevin
  Thanks man. Im watching it right now. I am not sure if i like the design yet. It's so plain... I'm particular when it comes to writing utensils : )
47. Luis Eduardo Garcia Diaz on April 8
  
  Hey Scott, I sent you a PM... Let me know. Thanks!
48. Kevin Wilson on April 8
  
  @Juan, If you like the Hi-Tec-C, I'd suggest you get in on the PHX Pen. It's a nice stainless steel housing for a Hi-Tec-C, and they give you a 0.4 Hi Tec C just to start out. It also fits the Uniball Signo.

  In a few short weeks I will have a pen in my pocket and a watch on my wrist. I can't wait!!
