Funding Phase Complete!
Hey Everyone,
Looks like we just edged in above our original goal. Big thanks to everyone who's supported us throughout this process and has the patience to deal with me and some mistakes throughout the project. All businesses have their hurdles.
So what's next? PLENTY!
1. Shipping- Not everyone got their shipping in on time so you'll have to pay that through Amazon. We are going to try this by posting payment links on the Facebook Site. Again, this is something new so bare with us if there's glitches. We aren't trying the simple paypal route at this time because we'd like to keep all financial transactions in one system. We'll be looking to use USPS.

2. Survey - We will be creating and sending out a survey in the next 24hours. This will collect shipping, color choices, phone type, if you are international, if you paid shipping, etc. Once we get about 70% of the color choices in place we'll feed that to our supplier and start producing.
3. We'll also be ramping production. Right now we are still fielding samples from a couple other vendors and should have those in hand shortly.
4. Delivery - As most know quality is the most important thing when developing a complicated part like the i+Case. We'd much rather delay delivery instead of delivering a sub-par product. We are still hoping to delivery some cases in December, but probably wont' deliver all of them. We'll ship on a first ordered, first shipped basis.
5 Comments & Questions - We'll answer questions and respond to comments as quickly as we can.
In closing we appreciate your patience and continued support. We are now in the hardest part of the process. Final testing, final vendor selection, and managing the logistics to get your products out the door.
Thanks
Jason & Chung

Au 24/01/2012, toujours pas de coque! Il est un peu biiiizar que pour encaisser 68$ il ni est pas de probleme de case pour le numero de carte banquaire,mais que SOUDAINEMENT il y en ai pour payer les frais de port.Bien entendu nous avons ete averti par mail quand cas de non paiement de celui-ci il n'y aurait pas d'envoi. A MEDITER!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Creator Fougeron on January 11, 2012
A ce jour le 11/01/2012 je n'ai toujours rien reçu. Impossibilitée de rentrer le mot de passe de la carte banquaire (Comment entrer 16 chiffres dans une case qui ne peu en contenir que dix) pour payer le port.

Please direct message me with issues.le
Creator kel00811 on November 24, 2011
Jason, I desribe the problem to you through the private message (inbox), but haven't see your reply. The step - shipping payment which I'm still CANNOT be completed, the hyper-link that is problem.
Creator i+Case on November 22, 2011
@Dorian please private message me.
Creator Rian on November 22, 2011
Again, Jason, please explain it to me why $5 for US backers ore not necessary, and yet it's still written on the update #17. It's really confusing me. What kind of changes does it make?
Creator i+Case on November 21, 2011
@kel00811 what message? Please correspond with me in private messaging. There's no reason to clog the comments area. I read all messages, but not always reply when I get them.
Creator kel00811 on November 21, 2011
Jason. You said contact you offline; did you read my message (in the inbox)? I've NOT received you reply.
Creator i+Case on November 21, 2011
@Prakash please private message me. thanks
Creator Prakash Jagwani on November 21, 2011
I pledged $190 for 3 shipped. I need 1 of them shipped to a different location.. How would you like to handle this ?
Thanks again for all you effort on this amazing product.
Creator Matthew Howell on November 21, 2011
Never mind..my mistake..I found the survey at the top of the page after I signed in as a backer. Thanks..can't wait to see it in person.
Creator i+Case on November 21, 2011
@Matthew what funding did you choose? Seems like Guillaume chose $1 but paid $65, wondering if you did the same.
Creator Matthew Howell on November 21, 2011
Nor have I...
Creator Guillaume Verdonck on November 21, 2011
@Jason I haven't received the survey (and there is nothing corresponding to that in my spam folder). Sorry.
Creator i+Case on November 21, 2011
@Guillaume You should have received a survey in your email. Please check your spam folder. Thanks
Creator Guillaume Verdonck on November 21, 2011
@ Jason : I've not received the survey. could you please send it to me again ?
Creator kel00811 on November 21, 2011
Jason, I mean the kickstarter.com inbox. Thanks.
Creator kel00811 on November 21, 2011
Okay, I've just sent you a message to your inbox.
Creator i+Case on November 20, 2011
@ kel00811 contact me offline
Creator kel00811 on November 20, 2011
Jason. Make the shipment payment through the facebook page which I've tried again; the situation that is the same as before - the message shows: 'The webpage cannot be found...'. How to do that on next?
Creator i+Case on November 20, 2011
@ kel00811 (not keioo811) Please make shipment payment through the facebook page. thanks
Creator i+Case on November 20, 2011
@ We've answered that in the FAQ's. Thanks
Creator kel00811 on November 20, 2011
Hey, Jason. my id is kel00811 (not keioo811).
You say "they are working"; mean they now are still in follow-up? is it?
So... is it I need to wait you feedback me for choosing the amazonpayment - shipping payment?
Thanks.
ps. I'm from Hong Kong.
Creator Noor Ahmed Qureshi on November 20, 2011
@Jason, if someone missed out on the I+case project and wants a case, how can he also be a part of the project, now that the pledging is closed?
Creator mous on November 20, 2011
Hello Jason i just respond your message for delivery but i have a problem.
I would have one for 4S and another one for the iPhone 4.
My is Mous.
Creator i+Case on November 19, 2011
@keioo811 yes, they are working. I've been receiving payments all day.
@elPiotr yes, that's the idea. However, if worst case scenario arises and we have that information if needed.
thanks
Creator kel00811 on November 19, 2011
The ISP reply me, they only block the port 25.
And I've tried again, the message still shows:
------------------- message begin -------------------
The webpage cannot be found
Most likely causes:
‧There might be a typing error in the address.
‧If you clicked on a link, it may be out of date.
What you can try:
‧Retype the address.
‧Go back to the previous page.
‧Go to and look for the information you want.
More information
--------------------- message end ---------------------
Is the hyper-links address (amaazonpayments - the 3 options of the shipping choices) something wrong? such as comma... etc.
Would you make a confirm for those hyper-links? Thanks.
Creator elPiotr on November 19, 2011
@Jason
so the choice "Which iPhone do you have?" has nothing to do with the case design ?
Just to know, because I will get two cases, one for 4 one for 4s, but the survey let me choose only one iphone model
Thanks
Creator i+Case on November 19, 2011
@Kory & @ Ryan The concept is to design a single case that works on both phones. We are finalizing that testing in the upcoming weeks. thanks
Creator Kory Doren on November 19, 2011
Good point Ryan. Would there not need to be two different designs on the case if the ATT mute button is in a different place than the Verizon mute button?
Creator Ryan Cavender on November 19, 2011
Keep in mind also that the iphone 4 att model and verizon models' mute button are in different places. The verizon iphone 4 and all iphone 4s are in the same place.
Creator i+Case on November 19, 2011
@Noor that's the concept. We are finalizing testing with suppliers in the next two weeks.
Creator Noor Ahmed Qureshi on November 19, 2011
So I'm presuming that the same case can fit both the iPhone 4 & the iPhone 4S? No difference in case specs?
Creator Jason on November 19, 2011
Just making sure nothing had changed. The questionnaire makes a distinction between iPhone 4 and 4s. We have one of each and I wanted to make sure it was still a one size fits both models scenario.
I didn't mean to muddy the waters for anyone else. Thanks.
Creator i+Case on November 19, 2011
@Jason not sure I understand. There's only one case.
Creator Jason on November 19, 2011
How do we complete the survey for multiple cases? We have an iPhone 4 and a 4s and we want to make sure the desired color is ordered for each appropriate model. Thanks.
Creator i+Case on November 19, 2011
@Mefody @kel00811 Everyone else can access those links. So I'm not sure if your ISP is blocking it. Perhaps try going through a proxy. thanks
Creator kel00811 on November 19, 2011
Hey, Jason & Chung,
My status is same as Mefody; it is NOT link-up to Amazon automatically after choosing the payment for shipping.
Problem solved?
Creator Mefody on November 19, 2011
Hi Jason & Cheng.
I made several attempts to pay via Facebook Sita, but the page when you click the Amazon is not opened.
How can I pay for delivery to Russia (Moscow)?
Thank you and good luck!
Creator i+Case on November 19, 2011
@Shawn yes. In the next 18h
Creator Shawn on November 19, 2011
Hi Jason,
I got to wait for the Survey to be sent to my email right?
Creator Salsa77 on November 19, 2011
shipping another 15 bucks!! is that right
Creator Nikolay Bezhko on November 18, 2011
Hey. Have ordered for the $65, then pledged $9 more. I think it's okay for the delivery.
Creator Aleksey on November 18, 2011
Hi.
With my card have drawn out money for i+Case. When take money for delivery?
Best regards from Russia...
Creator Haven Lau on November 18, 2011
@Vince #1. "We'll be looking to use USPS."
Creator Kory Doren on November 18, 2011
Question: "Looks like we just edged in above our original goal" I thought the goal was $15,000?
Creator Vince on November 18, 2011
Question: What shipping service will be used? UPS, FedEx, or UsPS?
Creator Rajiv Nanda on November 18, 2011
Glad to hear the good news. You guys have done a great job keeping us up to date and in the loop. I'm really looking forward to your finished product. Keep up the great work!
Creator Menno Stil on November 18, 2011
Congrats guys. I am happy to be a part of this nice Kickstart project.
And indeed a later delivery with great goods is better than medium goods with fast delivery.
Keep up the good work,
Menno from Holland.
