COLOR COMMITTEE- Want a say in the colors available for the SoundJaw? Due to the fact that the manufacturing cost goes up when we start to customize we can't offer too many colors right now. We are going to do black and white for sure but are not sure on the others. We most likely will offer 2 more colors but would like your input. The first $3 you spend on this reward gets you a vote in what color you want. For each additional dollar you spend you get another vote. For Example: $5= 3 votes. $10=8 votes. $100= 98 votes. At the end of the project I will send out a survey asking what color you want, you may divide votes among multiple colors if you wish. I will then add up all the votes and provide you with the results.
Pledge $5 or more Pledge $5 or more
If you love the project and would like to see it succeed but don't have an iPad 2 at the moment you can pledge 5 bucks to help the cause.
Pledge $15 or more Pledge $15 or more
Due to the fact that the Kickstarter community is based on integrity I'm doing a discounted tier for those who intend to spread the word. Whether it's your friends, blogs, or Twitter, SoundJaw would love the publicity. Oh yeah, this reward will get you a SoundJaw.
Pledge $20 or more Pledge $20 or more
You have just bought the SoundJaw accessory. I will be mailing it as soon as the manufacturing process is done. (If you are international please consider throwing in a few extra bucks to cover shipping... Thank you)
Pledge $45 or more Pledge $45 or more
You will get the SoundJaw plus I will send you pictures, 3d CAD models, journal entries, and other things that I have collected in the whole design and manufacturing process.
Pledge $60 or more Pledge $60 or more
You will get all that is listed above plus an extra SoundJaw. In addition you will be sent a numbered handmade clay prototype of the SoundJaw immediately after the funded project closes. The clay is the same clay I used to design the SoundJaw. It is not as beautiful as the plastic product but does a great job of enhancing the sound. Due to the time involved in making these I have set the limit to 50.
Pledge $225 or more Pledge $225 or more
If you live close to Denver Colorado I would love to meet up for lunch. If you pledge at this level I will also give you 8 SoundJaw's for your amazing support.
Pledge $750 or more Pledge $750 or more
Don't have an iPad 2 yet? I already have a few and would like to send one to you. This reward gives you a brand new iPad 2 with 10 SoundJaws to pass out to your friends.
Pledge $1,900 or more Pledge $1,900 or more
This reward is titled "I have a dream". I would love to shoot an Internet commercial. It will involve an iPad and a helicopter. I'm not going to give specifics but I don't think the iPad will look as pretty when we are done. This will be a pricey endeavor but definitely amazing. I'm sure it will go viral. What's in it for you? I would love it if you could be in the video. This will mean going up in the helicopter and such. You will also get the carcass of the iPad. There is only one spot available. Additional Bonus: You will be an honorary member of the "Color Committee" with 250 votes. This will give you a very important role in picking out the colors I will offer the SoundJaw in. Thanks in advance!

Hi I'm Matt,
I live in Colorado and love anything that is "tech". I am currently working on my Master's in Business Administration and am loving the practice that developing projects is giving me. Some of my biggest obsessions in life are aviation, music, and Apple devices.
Mines work with my iPad 3. No issues. I use the Smart Cover. Crazy I see all these new "sound booster" projects popping up which don't allow you to use your current Smart Cover / case and that is also minimalistic! Rock on dude. By the way chance I can order a shirt?
J Newell,
Thanks for the kind words! It's been a great project and I love getting to know the backers.
Hey Scott,
It should fit fine.... Do you have a case on or something that would make thicker?
says it's compatible with the new ipad (2012) but mine doesn't fit.
This remains one of the best KickStarter projects I've been involved with. Great product, great communications, prompt manufacturing and delivery. I'm still using it and really appreciate the simplicity and effectiveness. Thanks again!
Possible suggestion: I could not use the soundjaw with my iPad case on until I cut it down quite a bit. It works this way, although the plastic on the back is a little thick so my case is barely holding on to that corner. Maybe a future version could be designed to push between the iPad2 and a case, and held in place by the case on the back (with thinner soundjaw-for-cases material back there, yet not so think that it breaks easily) and some fingers on the front?
Alexander,
Sorry for not getting back to you. I just sent you a message. :)
I am still waiting for mine and have already send you a message about it, but have yet to receive any kind of response.
GOT IT! Thanks Matt for resending. That small round box that you shipped it may well have found it's way into USPS pockets. But I received this one and appreciate the contact and follow-through.
Hey guys,
I am VERY sorry for going dark for awhile. I have been out of the country and have been hard pressed in finding Internet service. I have left my shipping to a trusted person but personally shipped ALL of the SoundJaws from Kickstarter myself. I have received multiple emails from people saying they have not received their Soundjaw yet so I am working to correct it. I will send them this week. I apologize for not responding.... I assure you I am not trying to get out of sending you your SoundJaw.
REPEAT: No SoundJaw. Zero response from Matt. Today is Monday, July 18, 2011. 20 mile north of NYC. C'mon Matt.
I concur - I haven't received my SoundJaw either and Matt has been unresponsive to emails.
No Soundjaw. No comment from Matt. Friday, July 15, 2011. Live 20 miles north of NYC, not in the outback. Most unhappy with lack of communication. No reply to any of my emails. There was plenty of chatter leading up to the funding, but now I can't get a response. I'll glady stop whining if I can at least get an update.
Got my SoundJaw today and love it. Everything you said it would be.
I am LOVING the SoundJaw. I find it so wonderful being able to lay in bed and having the ability to hear the audio with clarity. I hope you will make additional SoundJaws specifically for other devices like the iPhone. I haven't taken the SoundJaw off my iPad yet. LOVE IT!!!
Got my SoundJaw! Love it'
Sound jaw received! Thanks!
WHOOP WHOOP that's the sound of the SOUNDJAW!!!! :D
Thanx Mathew for al your hard work! My soundjaw just survived a trip across the oceans all the way to europe (HOLLAND)
And it's working like a charm!
WHOOP WHOOP
I received mine today and I'm international! Its a great product and I absolutely love it!
Got mines yesterday! Loving it! Thanx!
Love the Soundjaw!! Simple, elegant, functional, hassle-free...it just works!
And the one I received was also low-carb, low-cholesterol, gluten-free, ergonomic, low-impact, and rich in anti-oxidants!
Just got my SoundJaw today! It's awesome! Thanks!!!
I got my SoundJaw yesterday. It's simple, but a genius solution for a less then desirable speaker location. It fits perfectly and stays out of the way of the Smart Cover. I recommend this solution to those that find themselves cupping the back of the iPad to help hear your music or videos. Great product and super job!! Thanks, Bob.
I can't wait to recieve mine! I'm on vacation right now so hopefully it already arrived @ my work :D
Jordan and everyone else who has commented,
Thank you for the great comments! I'm so happy to hear that you're all loving them.
Jordan, you can buy them at Soundjaw.com :)
Matt
Best product I have purchased for my iPad....where can I buy more!?
I just got mine. It pumps the sound up nicely and it fits great on my iPad2. The Apple smart cover is still able to turn off my iPad when I close it. Great product!
i love my soundjaw
Supercool! Great idea, great service - thanks. BTW, works quite well with my JoyFactory rear cover. Many thanks again for this great project.
I'm glad that a lot of you received yours today. I hope they exceed your expectations!
I never expected to receive mine so quickly. The product is great and I have already used it for hours of more enjoyable movie watching.
just received mine! works awesome! thanks
Received my soundsjaw today in the mail - it's awesome! Thanks for shipping it out so quickly and great job with the project :)
Okay that cool with me.... Looking forward to using the soundjaw
I'm sorry but I most likely won't. Tracking isn't available outside the US and for those local it would take too long to email you guys all of your individual codes. However I will tell you when I have shipped them and it should only take 3 or so days for those living domestically.
Will you provide tracking for shipments?
What Survey..I never received one. I have an iPad 2 if that was asked in the survey!
Thxs!! Sounds good already!! Can't wait to get it!
Tony,
There is only one SoundJaw :). It is made SPECIFICALLY for the iPad 2 so that is what it will fit best on. It will also work with the other devices, it's just not as clean of a fit.
Does the same soundjaw fit both iPad 1, iPad 2 and iPhone 4?
I just filled out the survey, but didn't specify which iPad to fit. I need it for the iPad 2.
where can i provide my email address?
Mr Wienman,
I am finalizing colors now so I'll be sending out the survey soon. It will most likely be in a day or two. I'll send it to whatever address you provide.
Matthew, are you sending everyone an email for shipment adres and which color soundjaw they want? And if so are you sending it to the email adress registred to kickstarter or amazone? I prefere kickstarter because the amazone account is of a friend of my because i didn't have a credit card. Hope to hear from you.
Congrats on the funding goal!
Adam:
Thanks and yes you may! I'll make a note.
Matt, I have already pledged $20 for a sound jaw. I would like to order a second also now. Can i edit my pledge to $40 and change the quantity to 2 soundjaws? Thanks and Congrats!
Why didn't i think about inventing the SoundJaw :P
Just Pledged you and the word is spreading in HOLLAND :D

Awaiting the shipment!!
It's upto the manufacturer now. We have gotten the ball rolling so hopefully it will be only a few weeks. :)
How long do you think it will be till we receive our SoundJaws?
No longer will I have to cup my hand for better sound, genius product!
