It was very stupid of them changing the overall design in the beginning. Which pretty much ate up most of the funds and caused additional delays. Delays cost money. And the design change was also rigged. To the original founders of myIDkey, you guys are worthless .
I keep coming back to see what others have posted and see that nothing has changed. I'll check back in a few more months. They should be forced to return their CES awards. VAPORWARE!!!!
Ok, since its long since obvious that I'm never going to see my myIDkey in any shape or form, feel free to send me one of the CES trophies for a product that never existed. I put this scam right up there with the Radiate Tee Shirt guy...
Last update the 9th October 2015, what more can be said. Below the comment box is "Be respectful and considerate". This company is showing no consideration to its backers, nor has it shown any respect by its science it permeates to all. The so called technology from 3 years ago, is now so far outdated, and not worth zip with other "id keys" on the market, far cheaper, and readily available now, not when this company wants to stop playing. Money certainly wasted for sure.
My response from the team on Aug. 12:
We're currently making efforts towards the final completion of the M-Series Devices. Some manufacturing inconsistencies brought about additional setbacks that were not anticipated. We truly understand the frustration that the Kickstarter backers have experienced and our teams are focused on bringing you the most optimal product that we can provide. We thank you for your continued patience while we approach the completion of this project.
I sent an email to Sonavation last weekend and got the following message back from them. I can't help it but I keep holding faith:
"
Sonavation is continuing to work to develop the IDKEY™ M-Series device. The technology we acquired from Arkami was not fully developed and had design flaws. If Sonavation can complete development to its satisfaction, delivery to is expected to begin after Sonavation obtains the required industry certifications, export approvals, and manufacturing is underway. Thank you for your continued patience.
Like many, doing my round of dead campaigns, gone down the drain like Mycestro, Radiate fitness shirts. Didnt even realized that I lost the ability to believe campaigners for awhile now, sad for the true, honest campaigners that suffer the blunt of lack of early trust as soon as a misstep occurs. And this technology is far outsmarted by Apple to name one, logging thru iphone and watch authentication, samsung uses retina scanner, Asus fingerprint scanner to log you into your computer, apps, browser, I even use a very simple usb authentication key that cost under $30 now, no storage but who cares, a 16gb usb key barely cost $3 by now, I order them in bunch now, encryption is included, no actual idea what I'll do with the IDKey when they arrive, if any.
I just dropped in to see if there was anything new... but of course there isn't. I took a quick look on Sonavation's website and noticed that there is no longer any reference or link to IDKEY at all. Also, the pre-order page has been pulled down from the IDKEY website: http://www.idkey.com/idkey-m-pre-order/ (page not found). I won't be surprised to see the whole site pulled soon. It would be nice if they would show some minimal level of integrity and admit they will never deliver the product. Benjamin Chen, you should be ashamed of yourself.
This experience is down there with the Agent smartwatch. Both obsolete at this point.
There was a funded justice campaign against Chris Walker(Agent Smartwatch) that didn't get funded, but if someone could start one that would go after all of these scam artists, I would invest in a heartbeat.
wow... it really has been long.
can I get something solid with my pledge? This single campaign beats every scam I have seen on Indiegogo and this sure is the worse on Kickstarter.
This is my oldest, unfulfilled Kickstarter campaign. I'm just curious if Arkami, Inc., is bankrupt, or if we can expect to see a return on our early good-faith investment in the future?
Fantastic experience with this campaign. Successfully turned me off to kickstarter. Thanks for promising and not delivering. Ps. Apple figured this tech out for you already. Is the next campaign going to be a super duper new form of VHS cassette?
Looks like this project is dead and my money has been stolen... yet again reasons why I do not support any more crowd funding projects and slag the KickStarter/IndieGogo franchises on twitter. Thieves
Three years and counting. This is a project that makes others think twice about being a supporter on KS. Very disappointed how so many of these companies just don't care.
Be honest about kickstarter. Go look at all the pledges you've ever made, remove all the projects you actually really use and leave the rest: the scams, the products that are so bad you would be afraid to use, the ones you don't use at all and so on. Now sum all those money up. Would you still want to back a kickstarter project? EVER?
Please everybody take 5 minutes to rate them 0 in facebook https://www.facebook.com/sonavation and any other place you can find to WARN others from going into business or buy something from this people! The name of the founder should be published everywhere to never make business again. He is already known for those kind of things anyway.
they did use our money to build it, they sell it online and on events but dont pay back the backers with products. these group are criminals! and kickstarter is supporting this scamers!
I can't believe it's been 3 years and nothing. This is one reason why I've decided not to fund anyone else on this site. Kickstarter should have a responsibility to its customers to ensure we don't get ripped off like this product.
Project is 100% dead. No refunds. No myidkeys. No idkeys. No communication.
Besides you'd have to be cray cray to use ANY device (software / hardware) they create. Pretty sure they can't program the clock on a VCR let alone make a secure, functional security product. #flashing1200 haha
Sad thing is that the original 'business' was acquired by sonavation, meaning they don't have to fulfill said original campaign owner's promises, unless in written agreements during the acquisition negotiation transcript.
Secondly, for a well established company as 'the buyer', I find it rather dubious that despite a so called finished product as the campaign portrayed is still capable of leading to years of 'work' afterward, It begs the question of the original design's real status and/or the latter's desire to fulfill any original promises.
In essence, I dont believe this will pan out well for us backers.
As for below remarks regarding the CEs awards, as the Sonavation product is different to the original, I dont believe they would be allowed to stick the award to their designed models, it only applies to the original MyIDKey, as the award stipulates, not the Sonavation IDKey.

Long ago I accepted that this project had died. I accepted that I had made a bad investment. I accepted that I had lost my money.
What I cannot accept is that Sonavation refuses to give us closure by telling us the project is dead. Their silence is deplorable and reprehensible.
