  Hi Brittani, thanks for your comment and suggestions. We are a new company hence why our social media presence is small, we are working on building this and doing a Kickstarter campaign is part of that process. We are the real deal and we have this product on track for production. We have posted videos on the project page showing the levitation and charging functions. There you can see also photos of our working prototype as well as earlier prototypes with some tear aways of the components. From the length and breadth of your message it seems you have more doubts about the project than compliments or excitement. If that is the case then maybe it is better you do not back the project but rather wait until it hits the market. We are excited about delivering this great product to backers who share our enthusiasm. We don’t expect anyone to back something they are not comfortable with. Thank you.

  Hey, not trying to be a pest but after reading some the comments I too have become concerned about the project. I checked your website and all four your social media accounts (Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and Google+) and none of them made me feel any better about the project. The website offered no extra information about the project, your company or your team, not even an address or phone number. In fact it only contains two images and everything leads back to this Kickstarter campaign. All of your social media accounts were created in July of 2016 and have no real information or activity except for a few mentions on Facebook and Twitter about this campaign. Both the Instagram and Google+ have no posts at all. Please understand, I'm not expecting giant social media accounts with 1,000s of followers or anything crazy like that but I was hoping to see more way more product photos or videos especially since this project is so freaking cool! Your timeline on the campaign shows that you took this product from idea to production ready in less than a year (not saying that isn't possible, just suspicious). Also your connection/comparison to the HiddenHUB project is deeply troubling. Although this connection is circumstantial at best, and has not been proven, when added to my other concerns it does not help my growing doubt for this project. I would hate to have to back out of this project because I was hoping to buy a charging station for both me and my boyfriend. I really think demonstrating the product LIVE on either Periscope, Google Hangouts or ANY platform would end any skepticism from backers (myself included). Again, I'm not trying to be a pain, I love the project and REALLY hope that it is real because I would love to surprise my boyfriend with this for Christmas. Please consider my suggestion & set everyone's mind at ease. Thank you!

  Will we get anything extra for reaching a certain stretch goal?

  @Rosendo: Thanks for sharing! @Emmanuel: Yes, we are on track with the original schedule and expect to ship in October. Tooling and certification have started in August and should be completed by the end of this month. We will then go to China to follow the pilot build. Thanks for you comment!

  Thank's for the answer and great project by the way.

  @Alfredo: Thanks for your comment! @Byron: Absolutely, just private message us the share or post link so we can confirm it for you! @Joshua: All shipping costs are already included on your pledge. Thanks! @Patrick: Thanks for helping out, that’s exactly right.

  Stuart, the Apple Watch 2 has built in GPS and that takes a lot of battery power. So even if the battery is (according to some leaked parts) 35% larger, the battery life will probably feel the same from a user perspective.
14. Stuart James on September 9
  
  Nice update, great news on the orb! I have one question: in the apple keynote they didn’t mention any change to the battery of the new watch. Is it really bigger? Really excited about this!
15. Joshua Kentley on September 8
  
  will we be getting an estimate on the shipping cost before the project ends or no?
16. Bryon D. Grove on September 8
  
  Shared on FB. Are you still offering free carrying pouches? I have posted on my timeline, but not sure how to prove it.
17. Alfredo Gonzales on September 8
  
  Awesome update!
18. Levitation Works Creator on September 8
  
  @Olivier: As you mentioned, for the nightstand mode to work, the watch needs to be positioned on its side. That unbalances the levitating charger quite a lot, as most weight is concentrated on the watch case. For that reason the Lift was designed to accommodate your watch only in the upright position. In that position you can also see the time, use all the alarms and notification functions. Thanks for your comment!
19. Olivier MAJOREL on September 8
  
  Is-it possible to have the watch on the side to see what time it is during the night ?
20. Levitation Works Creator on September 8
  
  @Darrin: Yes absolutely. Also, we have just posted an update with some more information on the Apple Watch Series 2 and improvements we are doing to the Orb. Check it out. @Leslie: Thanks for your comments! @Gary: Sure. Shortly after the campaign we will send out a survey to collect the color choices and shipping information.
21. Darrin on September 8
  
  Will it work with the Apple Watch Series 2 in ceramic too?
22. Leslie on September 8
  
  Great update! The improved Orb is really great news! Can’t wait!

  Any updates?
28. Ralph Vancampenhoudt on September 5
  
  @patrick What's wrong, according to you, with the videos of the prototypes shown on the campaign page then?
  And that's a genuine question, no one here wants to be scammed. The more info the better :D
29. Levitation Works Creator on September 5
  
  @Gerald: Thanks for your comment. The Lift charger can carry a load up to 200g. The heaviest Apple Watch combination is Stainless Black + Link band, and it weights around 125g. So the Lift can take almost double that weight. Thanks again! @Patrick: Sure, we have posted a video showing the prototype in action towards the bottom of our project page. @Darrin: Thanks for sharing!
30. Gerald Gonzales on September 5
  
  Hi Creator
  
  Have you figured out how much weight the LIFT can carry? I happen to have the apple watch with lunatik aluminum casing (www.lunatik.com). Will it be able to lift this much weight? Thanks.

  @Creator
  I guess my comfort zone has diminished since the uprising of scammers in here.
  Can you show us a video of your product (even prototype) in operational mode ?
  
  Gladly appreciated.
32. Darrin on September 4
  
  I just shared the project, but my tweets are private. Hope it’s ok

  I'm a bit scared about the HiddenHUB too... it smells a bit weird... :-/
34. Levitation Works Creator on September 4
  
  @Patrick: Thanks for your comment. We believe each backer has to support a project based on their comfort levels. Once again, we are not associated with them. @Ralph, @Christian: Thanks for sharing! @Nolwenn: Please stop spamming. Thanks

  Can anyone explain what Lift has to do with HiddenHUB? I am concerned, but any words and accusations have to be backed by evidence.

  Your project feel odd...I'll have to agree with the HiddenHUB thingy.
  
  I'll buy your product if it hits the store shelf.

  @Matt, @Carol, @Ulrich: Thanks for sharing! Cases confirmed! @Thu: Answering a few comments from fellow backers doesn’t get in the way of that. Thanks!
42. Thu on September 2
  
  I'm canceling my pledge now, because I think the creator should focus on the product, not confirming the stupid case. I mean It's fishy to act like that. Good luck :)

  @Leslie: Thanks for sharing! We got your message. Confirmed! @Jurjen: We are not associated with them in any way. We did exchange a couple of emails with them and a few other creators seeking advice about a year ago.

  Just to make everyone aware of what Jurjen van Dijk means by his comment.....the HiddenHUB project promised everything. In the end it was not taken to manufacturer and nearly 2,700 backers lost £1,000,000.
  
  There are striking similarities between this project and the HiddenHUB one. DO NOT BACK THIS PROJECT. Save your money. This is going no where!
  
  I will cancelling my pledge.
48. Leslie on September 1
  
  Hi, I have just shared it and sent you the link on a message. Can you confirm my case?
49. Tim Ratcliffe on September 1
  
  I smell a scam here too......
50. Jurjen van Dijk on September 1
  
  Rumour has it you are the same people as the HIDDEN-Hub project. Is that true?
