A Galaxy of an update!
Hey Kickstarters! The past week has been nothing short of amazing!
Until this week, our dozen prototypes were just part of our own personal quest for charging nirvana. Now, thanks to you our awesome backers, Everpurse has become a reality for all of us! It will soon be out the door and on its way to changing our relationship with the #1 electronic device we all use - our smartphones.
We believe Everpurse will change your life and we can't wait to get yours to you. To that end, we have begun a test-manufacturing run of a very small number of Everpurses. Most of the units will be going out to media outlets (who are dying to test them out!) and the rest will be kept internally to review how to optimize the production process, review materials that we are considering, and see where we might find bottlenecks. In the image at the bottom you can see some of the electronic guts and one of the molds that we will use to make the first run of Everpurse charging mats.
The third Galaxy is now supported by Everpurse!
As we alluded to a few days ago, we are officially announcing that Everpurse will support the Galaxy S3! This required a minor modification in the location and depth of the pocket where you drop your phone to charge, but also opens the door to supporting other Android models as we now will include micro-usb as one of the docking options. For now though, the Galaxy S3 is the only phone that we can guarantee will work.
When do I select my phone type for the Everpurse?
Good question! We have purposefully planned to wait to manufacture the docks until the very end of our production run. This is so each and every one of you can tell us which type of phone you will want your Everpurse to work with when you receive it. As we all know between now and March you may change or upgrade your phone and we would not want anyone to feel like they're stuck to the phone they have right now.
What if I change my phone after I receive my Everpurse?
Not a problem! We have designed the Everpurse to be modular, so for about $20 - $30 you will be able to change the phone connector to any other phone that Everpurse supports. So you can go from an iPhone 4 to a 5, or an iPhone 5 to a Galaxy S3. We know you might want to change, so we want to leave those options wide open. We'll announce final pricing on this soon.
Enjoy this photo of an Everpurse sporting a Galaxy S3 phone :) Congratulations to all the Android crowd who have faithfully supported us and waited for this stellar announcement.
Thanks again for all your support! We look forward to your comments and suggestions, keep them coming!

I wonder if Galaxy 3's port is in the same place a with Galaxy 2.
Creator Darlene Fiske on September 18, 2012
I am ready to order one - but in some of the purchasing options I saw a cross body strap available and in other options I did not. Is this available in all options and can you show a photo of it on a body so we can see how long it is. What colors?
Creator fmotta on September 18, 2012
Are the iphone and s3 the only planned phones?

Is the announcement of Supporting the galaxy s3 the stretch goal you referred to in a previous comment?
