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.
PadPivot featured in The Year in Kickstarter: A look back at 2011
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!
Hi again, I wrote to KSPadPivot@gmail.com. Someone called MATT Mckay replied instantly but hasnt followed up for the last week and a bit. Whats happening?
@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!
Thanks Rusty!
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 seriously starting to worry now, its been a month since you said you would look into it agian? Whats happening?
Hi Jim,
I am still waiting for my shipment to Australia.... apparently its been sent again on Express USPS on 17 Aug.... just wondering how express is Express its already been 3 weeks....since...and almost a few months since the first shipment went out somewhere in June....
Any help will be appreciated....
I'll look into again Rohan.
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?
@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.
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.
Just wanted to say that I've received my 2 units a couple months back, and they are awesome. One was a gift for a friend and they too are loving it. Good job, Jim! Keep it up.
@Erika - Please email KSpadpivot@gmail.com
I didn't receive my products yet......what should I do??? Thanks.
Great new project but I'm still waiting for the old one to arrive.
@ M Dwivedi - Please email kspadpivot@gmail.com and they can help you. Sorry you haven't received a unit yet.
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.."

Guys could use a twee to @macworld. They are asking What's your favorite iPad accessory?
Hi there -
I am from Belgium and I never received any tracking number. I hope my padpivot will come soon.
Best,
Yohan
Works great w/ a PSP and Kindle.
i fly alot and the pad pivot is perfect for reading when on the plane. Should be a part of all "road warriors'" gear!
Sorry to hear a few people still haven't received their units. Continue to bug Matt at:
kspadpivot@gmail.com We'll get it worked out!
Hi, from Laplante, New Brunswick, Canada. Still waiting for mine too. Last tracking info from San Bernardino California on June 29th.
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.... :-)
@aleksandr please email support at KSPadPivot@gmail.com
I have received number for tracing on June, 24th, but while parcel still in the USA.
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.
Received them last week. Hubby & I love them! Thanks Jim and Bernie!
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?

Still waiting on mine... This is taking too long! Im sick of reading all the posts of people saying how useful it is!
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.

Bad timing :) My PadPivot just arrived (Germany)
Warning for UK backers, still waiting for mine but got a customs note with a charge of £4.33 + £8 handling fee - £12.33! Not happy.
I am waiting too. Will I see any further update on the tracking system?
I'm still waiting for mine to arrive to London UK. Has any other UK-based backer managed to use the tracking system?
loving my padpivot... take it with me wherever i take my ipad! thank you!!!
I received mine PadPivot a couple days ago here in Brazil, great design, works like a charm. Thank's guys.
@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!

Love this thing but HATE HATE HATE the way it unscrews while on your leg if you bump it!!
PLEASE tell me a fix is in the works!!
just got mine in Montreal. great product!
Also received mine today and in Tooroto Canada. Already using it as I type this message out. Great product.
Hello from North Bay Canada, I got my PadPivot delivered this afternoon. played it for half hour on my iPad. I can't believe how comfortable it is. what a great invention / design. I love it. Great job Jim and Bernie!
