By the way @Davide last login was May 26th but provide NO RESPOND.
Even if you won't offer any refund or replacement, at least give us some respond here.
Ordered two cables. One cable only used about four(!) times and now it's not working anymore. It's still able to charge when the cable's end is pushed to the left a little bit but will off again when let go. I think it's because of very poor cable to port soldering. Very odd since this cables are intended to use with a lot of stretchings.
Well, one cable left but very low in life expectation.
Very disappointing in regard of how in updates they was telling of a high quality product manufacturing process.
Both of my cables have stopped working in just about a month. I contacted Davide but no response. DO NOT BUY THIS DEFECTIVE PRODUCT!!!
I still have not received cable, what happened?
Waited for my cable for month, since I moved. I got it today and it does not work! Disappointed. Want a good one!!!!
I would hate to be one of the 4 backers who purchased the re-sellers package.
Unfortunately another failure here..
Mine still able to be used to charge my iPod.
I guess the problem of not charging as other experience is because of cable gauge (diameter) is not adequate for charging an iPhone or iPad which required higher amps.
I think it's important for the integrity of the company and product that the owners address the failures we are all having and come to the table with a viable solution.
I used my Curly Cable to charge my iPhone once over night and the next day, upon reconnecting my iPhone, the Cable has ceased to function, both for charging and syncing. What can be done about this problem?
Last night my second cable went bad. I am quickly becoming rather disappointed with Kickstarter as I have noticed the communication and situation friendly until the project is funded. Then the promoters are slow to deliver and many times deliver past deadline with inferior products. I have really cut back my sponsorships to none until the backers get some kind of guarantee. Sure hope they replace my cables.
carol heath: Does a normal cable provided by Apple charge your iPad through your PC?
Just tried my curly cable for the first time. It will transfer data between my iPad and PC but will not charge the iPad. Pity. Any chance of remedy?
sent them an email, and they said they are waiting for a new shipment. So I think they are aware of the problem.. Hopefully they will follow thru and send new ones out when the problem is corrected!
I got two cables. One has stopped working after a couple of weeks. Not happy either. Waited a long time for the product so very disappointed. Looms like a lot of people are having the same concerns
One of mine stopped working...not happy
Just stopped working. While I am on travel... Big trouble.
Yep, no longer working here either.
One of my cables went bad too. Geez.
2 cables. One still charges.
Fascinating to see what happens with this project.......
Yep, one of mine went bad last week. It certainly was not abused. I hope the other one keeps working.
One of mine stopped working last night... not impressed.
Did anyone in Germany receive the reward yet? Hope I don't have the quality issues... Otherwise it's the next failed KS-Project :(
Yup, my curly cable seems stopped working after a couple of weeks of hit or miss. I think the quality of the material used is not up to par. As the rest of the backers, I expect to get a response SOOON!!!!!
10 days since I e-mailed Davide, no response. I hope that he is extremely busy yelling at some south Asian manufacturer; regardless this is unacceptable customer service that is compounding a faulty product. 3 strikes and you're out Davide.
Kickstarter #FAIL
I ordered 2 and both stopped working. What's going on?
After a couple weeks of use my kid brought me a failed unit. Unfortunate. You guys need to let everyone know what you plan to do, even if nothing.
My curly cable does not work. I love the idea and would love it if it only worked! I tried it in a Macbook Pro and an iMac and a G4. Not working. Has anyone heard anyone from the company?
My cord stopped working last night.
Have two - neither work. It is evident there is a major underlying issue. I am sympathetic to the issue and they do fit fill a need in the market- the product has legs. However, it would be great to get some correspondence that at least acknowledges the issue and what the potential remedy will be and time frame - regardless of how long. Now is the time when you show what your leadership is like as a company.
so i got two...neither still work
thoughts?
Had a strange issue with the cables I ordered...they do charge my phones/iPads, but they render my devices useless while charging (e.g. they affect the touch screen's ability to sense location). Anyhow...would like to get replacements if possible...as this is still a great concept if they would work as advertised. :-)
Also ordered 2 cables. Got both! But one is not working... (I detect a trend.) Still, great hands-on work and envelope stuffing guys. It can't be easy. Kudos for your efforts. Hope the problems get sorted...
Cable does not work, it will not provide a charge. Reading the many comments below it appears that this problem is very prevalent, how do you plan on remedying?
Cable does not work. Tried it on two iPhones and two iPads. Zilch. Terribly disappointed. Hoping for a replacement that works.
My cable doesn't fit the connector port on my iPhone. All the other (non curly) cables I have work just fine but this one doesn't line up correctly. Disappointing.
My curly cable doesn't work on my iPhone 4S...
Very disappointed! Should I send it back to you guys?
cables arrived in the UK today, working so far, cheers!
curly cable stopped working completely. only worked with ipad (not iphone). now won't work/ charge at all.
Ordered 4, received 2. Of the 2, 1 is DOA.
Kiclstarter...we will part ways for a while.
I ordered two cables and one stopped working. Doesn't charge or sync iPhone. Messaged Davide on 05/03 and i'm patiently waiting for a response.
Same issue as many of you have experienced...just went to charge my iPhone 4S for the night after a week 1/2 or so of normal usage, and the curly cable is no more. I have sent an e-mail to Davide.
Checked mine...charges from power outlets but does not sync my iphone 4!! Tried it on both mac and pc....guys! I want a replacement please.
Just like the others, my cable worked the first time, but has not been able to provide a charge to any device since. What should we do from here?
Just received my cable today.... the cover of the Ipad connector was not assembled correctly
and it does not charge my Ipad so it does not do what I bought it for
what can you do to fix this problem
When should we receive cable in France?
Apparently, some more testing may have been needed. My cable worked perfectly, at first. Now, the cable will not provide a charge to any device. Even though the "Reward" has been delivered, I hope that the Curly Cable team can provide some type of remedy for this situation.
My cable also worked fine initially, then failed.
Got mine, and it works well - will have to test the other one now!
