  Great news :) Glad that most of your eager backers will be getting their wallets soon and you guys are finally reaching the end of your fulfilment process. Are you guys planning another kickstarter project after this :)?

  Hey guys!! Good news!! We are getting a huge shipment of wallets in tomorrow at 10am!! This batch will cover all our remaining Kickstarters except for those who ordered the special edition or extra engraving which are currently in production now. We will be packing and labeling hardcore so every one is ready to ship first thing Monday morning. Thank you so very much for your patience and support!!

  Been a little while since an update. Is it safe to assume all the Early birds are done by now?
  How long do you estimate until the sleepy birds will start getting theirs?

  Hey guys,
  For those who have received their wallet, could you let us know what tier you selected? I am interested to see how the early and sleepy bird rewards are being delivered.

  Hi John
  
  Is it possible to change my shipping address now?? Because I will move out of my Uni address back home for the summer and may need to update my address.
  
  Thanks

  I have received mine last week. (Germany) It looks great!
10. Creator Jose Gleiser 5 days ago
  
  Got mine today (Chile), so far looks great but cant fit more than 4 cards on each side to properly close, olive looks black but just saw in another post that is a dark shade, will have to see tomorrow with daylight to see how it looks. Seems sturdy and tested the bridge with one card and it didn't move as advertised. I have my doubts for the retail price of $199, $99 seems a lot more down to earth. Still happy with it and planning to use it for my main wallet.

  5 days into using my wallet....in various pockets with various items (coins, keys....). Sat on it while in my rear pocket a couple of times too. No harm done. Nothing.
  Sad to report however that my Obtainium took its first STRONG hit....dropped it this morning on asphalt.....sad sad day.
  Happy to report that the black ultra hard coating did well against the drop tho! No dent...very minor scratched-looking surface...still pretty smooth.
  Honestly John, quality product! I look forward to hearing about a wider model soon (yes? maybe? :D)
12. Creator Mike Pilcher on May 13
  
  The only difference is the Jeb Corliss signature and logo.
13. Creator Joshua Greenblatt on May 12
  
  I just realized that I have a Reward Survey to fill out and have a quick question. Please let me know if there is a difference between the Black ultra-hard (Jeb Corliss signature model) and the plain Black ultra-hard model, other than the logo. Thanks - looking forward to getting my new wallet.

  I was worried that mine had been lost in the post but it finally turned up. Thanks John for getting back to personally with the tracking reference.
  
  I've gotta say, this thing is ace. Loads thinner than I'd first thought (which was a nice surprise) and the colour bridge kit is good. I'm currently sporting the red ones (though not as 'red' as I thought they would be, the colour still looks good).
  
  Another thing that I was wondering about was the stiffness of the hinge.. it feels just right. It stays open at any angle and it's loose enough to snap shut for those who want to make a statement. I can't wait for it to patinate and build some 'character'. Thanks a lot to all the guys at Obtainium, it's been well worth the wait :)

  We love the great feedback we have been getting so far from those who are using their wallets already. We love to hear all your ideas on things we can think about in our future products! Keep them coming!
16. Creator John Adams + Obtainium on May 9
  
  @Brain .. we are hoping to have all the shipping done by mid june. Unfortunately, at this point we are at the mercy of the factories and their constant timing changes, for example we were told we would get our next batch on May 9th and yesterday it was changed to the 15th. Once they arrive to us we work as hard as we can to send them directly to the post office.
  
  @Remi Thanks for the photos and great feedback! Interesting feedback about the wallet size, we have taken note for the future.
  
  @ Paul Yes we send you a shipping notification when they go out.
  
  @Jeroen We are the kind of guys that always toss our coins in our pocket and so that was one of the reasons we worked so hard to get the coating hard and scratch resistant. We understand that coins can get overwhelming though still...here in Hong Kong our coins go up to $10 coins, so we deal with many!
  
  @El Drijver You guessed it! Black is our best seller!
17. Creator El Drijver on May 9
  
  Thanks for the pics Rami. Nearly everyone went black? :)
18. Creator jeroen thomas on May 9
  
  Just received my black Obtainium and it is everything as promised! Looks and feels great. However, last week I was in Istanbul and I was confronted by the fact that coins are not already totally out-of-date... there are still some destinations where the Obtainium wallet is not the perfect solution. But it comes close, that's for sure! Thanks.
19. Creator Paul Duncan on May 9
  
  Sleepy bird here. Do you get shipping notifications when the wallet ships? Excitedly waiting.....
20. Creator Rami Nasra on May 9

  Comment: i wish the wallet was a few millimeters wider so i wouldn't have to double-fold my cash. My cash is taking up way too much room.
  If you do considering making different sizes in the future, please do let me know!

  Got my black Obtainium in Dubai, United Arab Emirates today.
  Opinion: it looks SICK!!! Great job Jack!!

  When are the Kickstarter Special Editions shipping out?
24. Creator Derek Broadhurst on May 8
  
  Hey guys, anyone in the Early Bird bracket in the UK not received their wallet yet? I got notification that it was sent 27th April but I've yet to see it. I'm hoping that UK shipping is just slower than other places...
25. Creator John Adams + Obtainium on May 8
  
  @Nirav You prob best to email us your home contact details then we are safe either way. I am assuming there is someone there to collect it if it get there before you?
  
  @ Julio sending you a private email in a min.
26. Creator Nirav Mehta on May 8
  
  Hi John,
  
  I saw a comment that stated that people in the third bracket will receive their wallets in early June. How early do you think it ill be because I will move out of my college address back home for the summer and may need to update my address.
  
  Thanks!
27. Creator JP on May 7
  
  For the guys who already go their wallet: Would be great to read some about your experiences or maybe see a picture of your packed wallet :)
28. Creator Julio Esteban Barranco Galaviz on May 7
  
  Hi John,
  
  I´d like to know about the shipping of my wallet. At the start of the pledge I paid for the international delivery, but I made my mind and I am asking you to send my wallet to an address in the US. Please let me know if this is possible, I can´t see a problem.
  
  I sen´t you a message previously, but no answer. Also I sent you in that message the US address. please let me know you have the new address. Thank you!
29. Creator Josh on May 7
  
  June!
  
  John feel free to send me one of yours, I will take good care of it! :)
30. Creator Nikolai Go Tenazas on May 7
  
  just saying.hehe
31. Creator Nikolai Go Tenazas on May 7
  
  hope you send out the limited editions before the third support bracket since some of us even pledged earlier than half of the early birds.
32. Creator John Adams + Obtainium on May 6
  
  @Josh the next shipment should cover the remainder of the early birds and a massive portion of the sleepy birds. Third support bracket we are hoping will go out early June.
  
  @Jeremy we are working on the last remaining few of the early birds and getting the sleepy birds all ready.
  
  @David thanks for the positive feedback!
33. Creator David M on May 6
  
  Early bird backer here in Minneapolis. Just received black one today. Didn't need to sign for it (which I liked). Fit, feel, finish is fantastic guys. Packaging looks great too. Thanks!
34. Creator Jeremy C. on May 6
  
  As you seem to be shipping in tiers John, Can you give us a heads up on what tiers you are shipping out? Thanks
35. Creator Josh on May 6
  
  Does that shipment cover all of the early/sleepy birds? Sitting in the third support bracket so hanging out for a replacement to my current non-Obtainium wallet...
36. Creator John Adams + Obtainium on May 5
  
  Next round of shipments are planed for 7 days from now.
37. Creator John Adams + Obtainium on May 5
  
  For the people that ordered olive color. It's a dark shade that appears almost black in low light. In bright sunlight it should appear a greenish olive color. Please check in brighter light first.
  
  If it is black it will always look black no matter what the lighting. If you did receive black by mistake we apologize and will send you the correct color. Just send us a message. We will also pay return shipping.
38. Creator John Adams + Obtainium on May 5
  
  @ Snailmeat, it is normal for there to be two small dots on the inside where there is no anodizing, this is because this is where the wallet is held by the anode. It should be in a spot that is covered by the cards so not seen during normal usage. If it is overly large or is in a spot you can see when there is cards in the wallet then we would consider it a reject.
39. Creator Ron on May 5
  
  Hey guys, if you have received your wallet, could you let us know if you were early birds or other tier? Many thanks.
40. Creator Mike Pilcher on May 4
  
  Oh no!
41. Creator Dwayne Tan on May 4
  
  @mark, thanks! I checked, and it was indeed olive.
42. Creator Mike Pilcher on May 3
  
  Dwayne, check on the right where your pledge is, theres a blue link that says "Your response." Double check your responses.
43. Creator Adam Wickemeyer on May 3
  
  Any estimate on a ship date for the sleepy bird's?
44. Creator Marc Bechard on May 3
  
  Just got mine in Canada. Thanks
45. Creator David Markus on May 3
  
  Just got mine in the US. Looks and feels great guys!
46. Creator Dwayne Tan on May 3
  
  Hey guys, I got mine in Singapore today.
  
  It's a fantastic product, but I think I received the wrong color.
  
  I got black, instead of Olive.
47. Creator Peter Van Bogaert on May 3
  
  Received my black one yesterday. 100%perfect. I just love it. Thanks guys
48. Creator Snailmeat on May 3
  
  Got mine today in Singapore. The olive is a little greener than I thought but its still cool. Product look well made but i got a little bit of a burr (and loss of anodizing) on the inside. I'm not fussy since this is going in the pocket together with my keys, but those of you keen on getting a 100% perfect one should take the time to check it. My favorite part is the feel of the hinge and how it feels almost fluid damped.
49. Creator El Drijver on May 2
  
  Nice! Really getting psyched, can't wait for the non-birds to be manufactured+sent.
  
  Thanks for the first impressions guys, keep'em coming :)
  
  Also, pics? :)

  Got mine in Paris, France today, so many europeans should see their wallet show up soon.
  
  Stellar product, very nice quality and strong built. I'm glad I backed you, you deserved it. The discount coupon is also a nice touch.
