Update #11: Our First Factory Visit
Hello to all of our backers and supporters,
We wanted to create a video update to share with you the process that you have started. With your help and generous support, we have got the ball rolling on production! This video is filmed today from our visit to the factory. We are very excited about the project and so is everyone we are working with. We are working diligently to get the details and timing coordinated so that we can get you the EscapeCapsule as soon as possible.
Thank you everyone for your overwhelming support. It is because of you that this entire adventure is possible and it would not be half as much fun if you weren't a part of it. We are so happy to have you all along with us on this exciting journey. There is much more to come, so please stay tuned as we continue to post updates and share with you about our project.
One last amazing day to go on Kickstarter. :-)
With Love,
Josh and June

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!

@Serge, you are correct. Just be certain if you want more than one reward that your dollar amount is equal to the total of both rewards. So if you wanted two "Pledge$80 or More" (as an example), be sure your total is $160. After the close, you will receive a e-mail requesting the details of your order and you can specify that you ordered 2x "Pledge $80 or More". You just want to be sure your total cost amount totals all the rewards you want. Hope that helps.
Hello I just wanna ask you about when I can get that. Thank you
Hi Suppawat, thanks for the question. Right now we are working on the details in developing our tooling for mass production. This simply takes time, and our exact shipping date is still unknown to us. We will keep you updated as everything progresses over the next month and a half.
