Risks and challenges

The Testing & Revisions phase is the biggest unknown for our team in terms of completion time. We are perfectionists, and must be 100% satisfied with the quality of the electronics, plastics, surface finishes, connectors, and mechanical snap on/off feature before mass production. Should delays occur, we will notify our backers as soon as possible and post regular updates.

Our goal is to finish mass production and begin shipping out orders in March 2017, but we have officially stated May 2017 to be on the safe side. Manufacturing is a slow process. Some changes can take 3-6 weeks until we are able to receive samples reflecting these changes. Our estimated timeline has taken into consideration potential set-backs and worst case scenarios.
