      My PadPivot is no longer sticky. I have rinsed with water, but it doesn't seem to help. Am I able to get a replacement or something? Surely this isn't acceptable failure, right?

      I'm a little bit anxious about this. I'm one of the backers and I've received no news about the item supposedly shipped. I've written twice and I have no answer. I think I need a response.

      @Rohan. I checked in and your order has been submitted to warehouse. You should receive confirmation email soon. Thanks again for backing us!

      @Rohan & M Dwivedi - Please message KSPadPivot@gmail.com for any customer service related issues. It's hard to track and respond through the general dashboard. Thanks!

      You guys are truly an inspiration. I recently filed a patent for one of my ideas. It is weapon related so I chose not to bring it to Kickstarter. My next 2 projects are definitely Kickstarter projects.

      PS I rooted a nook color, to Android 2.3 just to use my Pad Pivot.

      I love that it is in Best Buy, now try for Fry's.

      Congrats

      Hi Jim.
      I am really worried that I wont be able to see my Pad pivot as I sent a message out to you and you havent replied for nearly two weeks. Will I ever get my pad pivot sent to my address?

    17. Jim.small

      Creator Jim Young on August 22, 2011

      @Robert - My apologies if you saw our update as spam. We always intended to "keep the story going" so you could keep tabs on new projects. We'll find a better way to do this.

    18. Missing_small

      Creator Robert Willard on August 22, 2011

      Pretty disappointed that backing the PadPivot has become an open invitation to spam us for other endeavors. I ignored the first couple but I see they just keep coming. Great way to reward your supporters.

      Love mine. Great product. I like hearing about your new stuff but it is a little sketchy using the pad pivot updates to tell about new campaigns and products. If you have a mailing list I'd be happy to sign up but others might not dig this method. Thanks.

      Hi Guys,

      I am one of those unlucky ones who did not receive the shipment (order 48896). I got the shipping notification via USPS in late June but is still sitting in " Sort Facility, SAN BERNARDINO, CA 92403.."

      Hi, I'm in Germany and still waiting. The USPS tracking site has the last info on June 24th, saying that it was "Processed through Sort Facility".
      I wrote to German Mail but have not received any answer, yet.
      Do you have any ideas? I'm getting nervous.... :-)

      Creator Jim Young on July 17, 2011

      If you're an overseas backer and have not received your unit you can use your US Postal Service (USPS) tracking number to locate your package. You need to contact your local carrier by phone and usually they can get your status.

      Hey Jim, a late congratulations on such a successful campaign! I myself pledged and have been using my pad pivot for the last month. Have not been disappointed in the least. I've just started my own campaign and was wondering if you have any words of wisdom to pass along?

      Had to pick up mine from the customs office. You may want to attach an invoice on the outside(!) in future shipments to avoid this extra hassle. Looks good, just haven't had a chance to really try it out yet.

    46. My_pic.small

      Creator Bernie Graham on July 12, 2011

      @obin the edge should rest on your lap and the force is always down so if the grip plate is stuck to the center it can't unscrew. It will naturaly want to stay screwed in. There is a slight hold when the shaft is fully screwed in the ball. It seems you have quite the HATE on so I'll give you a quick fix. Add a bit of electrical or Teflon tape on the thread of the shaft if you want more friction.

      Just received my two padpivots in Ottawa - I think it is a wonderful design - thank you so much for all your efforts to make this a reality. Its versatility for positioning the ipad is great and its stability is remarkable.

      Thank you again!
