Update #9: Product Testing the EscapeCapsule with the Adorable Little Marcus :-)

Posted on September 15, 2011

Filmed in Tuscaloosa, Alabama with the adorable little Marcus McClanahan. It is so cute to watch children play with Apple products. The intuitive interface makes it possible for even the 15 month old Marcus to use and enjoy the iPhone. If you notice, even the he is hesitant to put the phone into the bath, and so is his proud Father Scott.  Kids are so smart. 

As most people upgrade to newer and better iPhone models, the EscapeCapsule makes your iPhone 4 the perfect hand-me-down gadget for any youngster. You can relax knowing the iPhone is protected and sealed for even the rowdiest kiddo.

The EscapeCapsule is your iPhone 4's life jacket. A waterproof case designed to protect your phone from water, rain, snow, sand, mud, scratches, sticky little fingers and bubble baths. 

Catalyst, for the adventure of living.  :-)

With Love,

Josh and June

ps. A special thank you to Scott, Gina and little Marcus.  We had a wonderful day hanging out.  We love little Marcus and hope to see you all again soon.

      Love you both. We are working around the clock (literally) to get this all sorted and worked out. We cannot wait to deliver the EscapeCapsule to all of our supporters. We seriously have to give another shout out to our Angel Supporter Sebastian. You rock bro. Your trip to Hong Kong is going to be simply epic. :-)

      Adorable little fellow. I've watched a dozen times and still makes me smile. I want a grandchild to go with my Escape Capsule. ;-)

ANGEL SUPPORTER: We think you are a pretty special human being and we love you! Your generous support will have a big impact on our ability to launch the EscapeCapsule. In return, we are going to give you an iPhone 4 32G unlocked and 10 EscapeCapsules in your choice of colors. On that note, we want you to be involved in picking the color of the next EscapeCapsule, which we will send you when available. And furthermore, we felt it would be fun to talk about colors after a brief tour of the factory, so we are going to include a trip to Hong Kong so you get to see where the product is made. We will fly you from LAX to HKG and put you up in a hotel for 7D/6N. While in Hong Kong, we will take you out for a beach BBQ and a night out on the town for dinner and drinks. Also, there are a few hidden beaches, waterfalls and epic rock climbing spots that we would love to share with you. Sound fun? Of course, it's the ultimate escape!

Estimated Delivery: Nov 2011
