I'm an independent industrial designer living just outside Seattle in the beautiful Snohomish Valley. I love making things. Design is my livelihood, my passion, and my hobby. When I'm not working I'm either on an adventure with my 3 boys or volunteering my time to my community.
@Tobster - we're looking into it. I remember personally packing your order because it was the only one to South Korea.
I have yet to receive my pledge. can you please check my message I sent.
@Max - your welcome to fillet our fish, but be nice. These critters have feelings.
oh... my fishy is hurt! But still can swim… just gave the cut-out (mentioned before) some polish with my rasp. I know… I am every designers worst nightmare. :-)
The Cablekeeps finally arrived but for me didn't work. Well the cable wraps around but I was looking forward to lay my IPhone on top of them as it always is on the floor up till now. Well that didn't work thanks to the silly fish-tail-slope. I rather have something functional. Well I had to get creative : http://bit.ly/Jcfc3f (WITH MY KNIFE). Fail!
Not USPS's fault I would think. Boxes tend to get crushed during transport when packed in envelopes. The important thing is the cable keeps arrived in one piece and they're lovely!
Blogged about it http://lesterchan.net/blog/2012/05/15/cablekeeps-for-ipad-iphone-and-ipod-chargers/
The boxes I got was pretty damaged thanks to USPS!
@Tobster - Yes, should have received a confirmation email when shipped. Shoot me a message at hello@nicebydesign.com and we'll check it out.
Are we supposed to receive confirmation of shipment?
I got my unit today!
Got it yesterday in Norway.
I will definitely be buying more of these!
Just point me at the website!
Got mine yesterday ;)) looks Sweeet
I sent you an email Jim regarding a small issue
got it yesterday (Belgium)! And i love it!
Everything has shipped. Already receiving a few returns and will contact you for an alternate address if that happens. We had about a dozen backers that didn't fill out the Address Survey. You will be contacted if we didn't get your info or reward selection.
I also haven't received any shipping confirmation. Still waiting...
I still haven't received any shipping confirmation email yet either. Have all rewards been shipped?
Has all the rewards shipped out? Still didn't get a shipping confirmation email.
Got my Gulp CableKeep! Looks, feels and works great. I sincerely love the humor and warmth in all elements of your design, packaging and instructions. Really great work. Thank you for this, I love it. :-)
Got my set of 3! love it! Please let me know if you have something for the 45w Macbook air adapter.
Thanks Jim, I love it!
Glad you like it Quijana. Send them to www.nicebydesign.com to get their own!
My Nibbles arrived two days ago. I unpacked them and a friend noticed them sitting on my table. "Wow, where can I get these?" was the immediate comment. They look wonderful. Now I just have to figure out where I left my charger. If only there was a way to make it more visible.... Thank you for a great product!
got it yesterday...love it!
@Jean-Claude Thanks for the comment. Next project is coming soon enough. I was up till midnight last night completing part of it. You backers will get first crack at the initial release reward.
Got my Keeps Today, love them, and as other people have said already, "Where is your next project...I cannot find it yet on kickstarter so I can pledge for it... what's the hold-up ! :))) "
Got a Goldie and a Nibble today! Great product! Definitely a tight fit for both- but I'd rather have that problem than a loose fit.
Just got my Goldie today! Love it! Nice work, and I'm happy for you that it all turned out well in the end.
@Jim - Bring on the next project. :-)
@Rose - Glad you love them Rose! Thanks again for your support. You guys ready for another project yet?
Two Goldies and two Nibbles just arrived and I already love them. One Goldie was a little stiff to get on, but persistence paid off. The other three slid on more easily. They have a great solid feel, despite their light weight. Thanks for your work; I'm very glad to have invested in this project.
@Sami - Glad you love them. It feels so good to see these going out to happy backers!!
Mine arrived today in CA, got two Goldies and two Nibbles. Fit is great, both work great. Thanks Kickstarter and thanks Jim for hanging in there!
Only nibble (no pun intended): the image on retail packaging of red Goldie is more of an orange as opposed to the actual red plastic, color matching is hard.
Received my shipment notification today. Excited to see this product come to life!
Congrats!
We started shipping this weekend!! You'll get a confirmation email when your package label is printed and finished prep. We'll alert everyone when we've shipped the last ones.
@Everyone - thanks for the amazing support - we're through the fire and shipping soon
@Tamas - thanks for the tip on a new molder
I understand your frustration. Thanks for keeping it in the US. I'm not certain that it would be any better any other place.
Hang in there and don't worry---easy to say and hard to do
I feel your pain, hang in there. Sometimes simple looking projects are the hardest... As far as getting the product, I trust it will come and I can tell your very close on producing!
I don't think anyone is charged unless they ship product. Manufacturing can be frustrating; I know from recent experience.
Jim - if you are having so much trouble with your injection molding, you might want to try Caroba Plastics ( http://www.caroba.com/ ) and talk to Jason Spratt or Carl Hart. They know what they are doing.
Tamas
I think we lost our money
please give us an update
Are you guys kidding? It has been seven months since this was promised to ship, there have been no updates, and you DON'T RESPOND TO EMAIL. Are You for real or should I come to terms with the fact that I have thrown $50 away?! Please PLEASE respond.
Have they shipped yet?
It's going on seven months since you met your goal ... about time to get a product out the door, isn't it? What is the current status?
Jim,
Any updates?
No new information in a long time. What can you tell us?
I need to change my shipping info to my work where do I change it
Agree with Lois - No need to put recognition on them.
@Mark - you can order on our website - www.nicebydesign.com
@ Lois - Thanks for letting me know your preference.
Don't worry about recognition use your time and energy and money to get them done.
Thanks
Lois
