Update #12: SUCCESSFULLY FUNDED!
Thank you!
To our backers, supporters, family, friends, and the Kickstarter community,
Woohoo! Today is a celebration. We have barely been able to contain our excitement as we counted down to the end of the most amazing 30 days of our lives and start a process that is even more extraordinary. We are inspired by the support, ideas, suggestions and contribution that you have made to us and our project. Together, we have turned the EscapeCapsule from a mere possibility into a reality.
We wanted to share a quote from Mark Twain that sums up how we feel right now: "Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover."
What's next is that we will be communicating with you with updates on Kickstarter. Expect to hear from us with an email backer survey to get information from you for your orders. Please also visit our new website www.catalystlifestyle.com, sign up for our mailing list and follow us on Facebook or Youtube or Twitter so that we can let you know about new products including the iPhone 5 case once Apple launches the new iPhone.
Sincerely,
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!

Catalyst is a reflection of who we are and what we do in life.
Sorry to jump on the band wagon but I too agree with Carl, Adrian, and Rodrigo.
Hi Guys, thanks for taking the time to post comments about our website. We agree with you. We originally engaged a web designer to create our website in HTML5 to go together with our Kickstarter project. However, they were not able to finish the site on time, it did not look very professional and it was not workable as a webstore. We didn't have a lot of options given the time, our limited budget and our limited manpower (with our mighty team of 2). We knew that the flash site would have limitations for an IOS device, but it was the quickest, least expensive and most workable solution for us to create a site that really reflected the look and feel of our product in the last hours of our Kickstarter Campaign. Josh built the site in less than 12 hours using a free site builder from www.wix.com that we can update and manage ourselves. Trust us, we realize that this is less than ideal and we are working towards a more long term solution. For now, our main focus is on the development and production of the EscapeCapsule so that we can get it to you. We will have an update for you soon in regards to this. We do sincerely appreciate your feedback and we love hearing from you so thank you for letting us know. At any time if you have any more suggestions or ideas we are completely open to hearing from you. There's more to come, so please stay tuned. ;-)
Hi guys, we are very proud to announce that we have relaunched our site on an IOS friendly platform. Please check it out at www.catalystlifestyle.com ;-)
