New efficiency gains in the fulfillment. I have negotiated a lower price for the laser cutting and will be 3D printing several parts connected together (reduces handling fees)...this reduces the funds and number of backers needed!

Bummp-ies are available for:

• iPhone 4
• iPhone 4s
• iPhone 5
• iPAD mini
• iPAD 2
• iPAD 3/4

Unfortunately, with fewer backers I will have to reduce the "Early Bird Discount" to 40%...all other discounts are still 20% off!

Cheers and thanks for your support!

Hi Backers!

Thank you for your interest and pledges for out first Bummpies campaign!

We have seen great results with our 3D printed field-test Bummpies, and the testers are being asked where to buy them!!

While we are working hard to bring production Bummpies to market we want to offer advanced 3D printed nylon Bummpies to those that can't wait...for 30-60% the new lower retail price!

Most of these have already been shipped to various companies for quoting...packagers, contract manufacturing, adhesive cutting, etc.

Packaging Concept:  Packaging is also a Template!

The clam-shell package (orange below but will be clear) holds Bummpies and an insert card (printed card with all the information).  The clam-shell then fits snugly around the iPhone, leaving the precise location where Bummpies should be applied.

It needs some more work, but hopefully this gives an idea of the concept!
