Update #23: iPhone 4s new cable and the MySaver, does it work?

Posted on November 21, 2011

We have had a few questions regarding the new iPhone 4s, seems Apple is trying to make their protector stronger on this new phone release (I still think they will break). Here are some photos we took, we tested the new cable from Apple, the one on the right, by doing an assembly with the MySaver:Diy and it works perfectly, the silicone is just a bit tighter and holds the cable perfectly. If you want to use it on your new iPhone 4s cable it will work great.

      Can we get a new update on shipping? I was hoping to have these in time for the holidays. When will they make it into the mail?

      Can't wait for it, I have had to change my cord recently, due to the lack of MySaver!! Need one soon, before I end up breaking the new one as well.

Update #22: mysaver... we are packing and shipping

Posted on November 21, 2011

we have been working on assembling and packaging all of the mysavers, it is not as quick as we had hoped but we have the opportunity to hand check each one, the quality is very good and the colors are great.

shipping will begin this week and we will give you further updates.

thanks for your support, thomas

      Hi, I've to so many kickstarter projects backed that I fail to keep track on the rewards status... in case the reward survey has already been sent on this project, I'm pretty sure I entered an address that I would like to have changed.

      How should I go about it (changing the shipping address, I mean)?

Update #21: MySaver timing

Posted on November 11, 2011

Just a quick update to inform you that the factory has shipped all of the MySaver parts to us today. I have just arrived in the states from the studio in Italy.  I wanted everyone to know that we will have a team assembling, packaging, labeling and shipping your MySavers out daily beginning late next week. We are very pleased at the turnaround from our factory, considering we reviewed first production on the 20th or so of October, so to have the completed parts so quickly is great.

Thank you so much for your patience and encouragement. The MySaver is our first product in this new venture, and yes, we have plans for a lot more. 

Thanks again.

Thomas
