Update #16: Live from China: LunaTik Manufacturing
Hello everyone. Like I promised I wanted to share some of my trip in China with all you. Its been a crazy 3 days and have seen a lot and made a ton of progress. Our suppliers are very motivated and doing a phenomenal job. I think much of this motivation can be attributed to your support. It really gets everyone excited and its amazing how much everyone connects with the power of Kickstarter.
So I am going to apologize for the rawness of this video. Thankfully iMovie makes it easy to throw something down and dirty together. But I think it should give you a glimpse into the process and manufacturing of LunaTik and how much craft, hand work and care goes into the metal and even the silicone strap. It isn't your typically mass manufactured injection molded process. Take a look and I hope you like it.
I will be posting some more on TikTok after my trip back into China today. Stay tuned.

I would love to see more videos..
This is really awesome. Thank you Scott for showing the manufacturing process.. it's always fascinating to see how products are made and surprising how much of the process is manual. As an avid "How it's Made" show watcher this really made my day. I can't wait to get the Lunatiks and I hope you consider keeping this video available on the Lunatik main website. Rough as it is, that really personalizes the project and increased my appreciation for final result as it would future buyers for sure. I'm proud to support you guys and this great, quality product. Thank you!
So i received my Luna Tik in the mail! d(-_-)b Im very pleased with the quality of this product! I then remembered the comments about the smell. The first thing i did was smell it, and i love the smell! HaHa.. Its a nice fragrance that reminds me of childhood toys! lol.. Very pleased with my purchase. I also love the packaging. This would look perfect in the Apple Store.
