Creator briankb on May 10

thanks for finding that little snippet Nick! :-)

Creator Nick Rooney on May 10

I may not agree with all the complaints, but this comment was funny right here: "By the time Mr. Kim finally fulfills our rewards, we may all have a cochlear implant and contacts powered by google!"

The people I purchased this product for all have "lightning connectors" now, so I feel your pain.

Creator TrashMan on May 10

I did the "Report this project to Kickstarter" on the main page as suggested below. I would urge all to do the same. Sad we have to try to do this since all we hear are the crickets instead of updates. This project introduced me to Kickstarter. I am glad I have had more postitve backings that this one didn't sour me on.

Creator William Dubé on May 9

My Apologies..that should have been Mathew A Lavery, but thanks to you both.

Creator William Dubé on May 9

briankb. Thanks for your efforts. I copied your text and reported it to Kickstarter also

Creator briankb on May 8

Earlier today, just after my last comment, I filed a complaint via http://www.ic3.gov/complaint/default.aspx which is a partnership between FBI and the National White Collar Crime Center. You can find Hern Kim's contact and address information from his two websites if you wish to file a complaint of your own.

Just so Mr. Kim doesn't hop on hear claiming he posted an update on April 10th, I have a small clarification to what Mathew just posted. Mr. Kim's last communication via Kickstarter system was via a comment on the last official update in the UPDATES section, which was back in early December 2012.

Updates from the project creator are to be done on the UPDATES page [period - as per Kickstarter]. A comment on an update is NOT an update. Mr. Kim likes to call his comments on updates a "mini-update", but that is just to avoid posting a real update, in the UPDATES section which would fire off an email. An email that would go out to the 790 backers of this project. And I suspect it's something Mr. Kim is desperate to avoid.

I wish I could say I am getting something out of filing the complaint or even posting this comment. But I would much rather have my two WALdok's!

When I became a backer in September 2011, I had an iPhone 3Gs, which I've since upgraded to a 4s. And soon I'm about to upgrade again to a 5s/6 or possibly move to a Android phone like the S4.
By the time Mr. Kim finally fulfills our rewards, we may all have a cochlear implant and contacts powered by google!

Creator Mat on May 8

To all concerned:

Kickstarter has advised me that the only means of escalation we have since Hern is not responding it to click the "Report this project to Kickstarter" button at the bottom of the main WALdok page (http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/hern/waldok-wall-plug-in-speaker-charger-for-the-ipod-n).

I chose the "this is not a project" reason for my report and have pasted the text of my report below.

"This projects goal has not been completed in over 2 years and the last update from the project creator was 5 months ago. The project creator has not returned any requests for update and appears to have quit the project and left with the funds. As per kickstarter's terms and conditions and recommendation from kickstarted support many backers have requested a refund and again heard nothing from the project creator."

Creator briankb on May 8

I'm curious if what he is doing is criminal. Are there any backers who are in the legal profession who can help us take this to the next level?

Creator Luis Eduardo Garcia Diaz on May 2

Refund please to lic.luisgarciad@gmail.com US$59

Thanks

Creator Nick Rooney on April 30

He addressed people asking for refunds awhile back. Go through the comments below. In short: ain't gonna happen.

Creator Versteeg on April 30

Creator Shawn Prather on April 24

Creator Noah on April 23

Mr. Kim. Can you also please confirm that your current business address is still at
88 Gerrish Avenue #307 in Chelsea, Massachusetts, 02150?

Creator Noah on April 23

Dear Mr. Kim. I have still not yet received my requested refund. Please respond.

Creator Marcelo Arteiro on April 21

I'm also here asking for my $349 refund since at marteiro@me.com via PayPal!
Thanks

Creator Noah on April 18

I asked Kickstarter and they said in order to request a refund I needed to ask the project creator... so I'm officially asking for a refund of my $59. You can send it via Paypal to Support@FFTRealm.com - Thanks so much!

Creator Nicholas Kawal on April 18

At this point, we'll get this when apple changes their port to the standard Micro USB.

Creator Chris Rowe on April 17

So, how do I unback this, clearly its against Kickstarters TOS and we should be covered?

Creator Nick Rooney on April 14

My wife and I are still very excited for this product Hern. Praying the tide turns with the Apple MFi thing soon.

Creator TrashMan on April 11

It would be nice to have a full, real update now that we are past the two year mark on this. I would like to see any new info actually be listed under the updates so that I get an e-mail when this is done so I can check to see what is going on. Also, can we get some idea of what the product will be like if it gets completed? It would be informative to hear about the colors, options, and what has changed and been altered in the past two years of work on this. Thanks.

Creator Nick Rooney on April 9

His (admittedly slow) updates show that he is working on this.

Creator Noah on April 9

It's been two years since I backed this project. Wasn't I supposed to have my WALdok a while ago? Haven't checked this site in a while. Please advise as I no longer have an iPhone/iPod that will fit a 30-pin connector.

Creator Amir on April 9

Happy 2nd anniversary everyone! here's to not making it to the 3rd....

Creator Robert Leunis on April 9

Well Nick Rooney and Zachary the Tuba player still believe this joke, so ....

Creator Myk Crawford on April 8

Sadly, tomorrow marks the 2 year anniversary since this was successfully funded. Update??

Creator marc buccheri on April 4

What a fucking joke..... Hern Kim has played all of us... That Ass hole is lagging on product and his updates are ridiculous. I thought the "Juices"guy was bad...... Hern takes the cake for fucking everybody out of $76,491.00 worth of product and design...! I would punch him in the face for stealing my money with no regard, but I guess that's how the he rolls and we are the fools. Kick starter got me on this one...!

Creator Andreas Duess on April 3

Just as an FYI, I've got zero interest in receiving my waldock as I don't own any iPhones with the required connector anymore.

I'll take this as a lesson to make sure to check up on the capabilities of the people starting KS projects before backing. This entire process has been a total gongshow, from start to the, eventual, finish.

Creator mike rock on April 2

There are 760 people waiting.

Creator Versteeg on March 30

This is by far the worst kickstarter project ever. With 8days to go this is a two years project with no ending. Hern Kim you be a shame for kickstarter projects. So I hope the walldock wil be send before a new iphone sees the light but I have my doubts.

Gr Marc

Creator Aaron Hulsîzer on March 26

randy, monkey oh doesn't have a speaker which is the main feature promised of waldok... so no, monkey oh is not a substitute. hern, stop jerking around with mini update and put up a proper update; throw us a bone, some pics, some copies of your email with related parties, something please.

Creator Jon Lee on March 25

Will this product ever see the consumer market? It's been almost 2/3? years since it's been funded and yet there seems to be no end. Hern what is going on?

Creator Randy Padawer on March 25

Sorry for the three messages in a row, but since my mind was on WALdok and wondering if we would ever see this project realized, and in what form (old 30-pin versus new Lightning connector, etc.), I came across a brand new Kickstarter project called "MonkeyOh" that basically achieves the same thing but with far less fuss and muss. Here's that Kickstarter link:
http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/588155957/monkeyoh-charging-dock-and-stand-for-iphone-and-ip

Other than being a new backer of that one, I have no connection with those individuals of course. Anyway, it hugs the wall outlet, incorporates a standard little Apple cube charger (of which I assume most of have a few in a drawer), and works with both old and new Apple connectors (because it uses a stock cable in an ingenius way). Ah well.

Creator Randy Padawer on March 25

No, it's only been two years. My bad.

Creator Randy Padawer on March 25

Has it really been almost three years? Alas.

Creator Richard Smykla on March 24

"Ouch", said all concerned.

Creator Nick Rooney on March 20

He does mini-updates in the comments of the last major update. He doesn't post a major update when the update is essentially "communication related". A lot of people have asked for posting the mini-updates as if they were major updates just so they don't have to check this page all the time. But if you look at the number of buyers (760) and the number of vocal people here, the majority of people don't care, forgot about this, or would rather not get emails about "My supplier said they needed to test a thing-a-ma-jig" every few weeks. At least that's what it seems like.

Creator Alex Fazekas-Paul on March 19

Hern says 7days ago, "just posted an update", and yet the most recent updated is dated Dec 12, 2012. When is this "project" going to complete? Two years now?! Really?! Hern, you should be ashamed and embarrassed!!!

Creator Mr. Beerd on March 14

Wow, coming up on 2 years and nothing to show for. You bit off way more than you can chew on this one dude. Stick to your day job.

Creator marc buccheri on March 14

I have ordered two of these "WalDorks".... My boss keeps asking me when we are going to get our pledges...? Sadly you have fucked me over and everybody else by not completing your project timely.

Send pictures, your current designs... For gods sakes do anything to prove you are a man of your word...!
