Timeline + Stretch Goals Update
over 9 years ago – Thu, Aug 13, 2015 at 07:12:35 AM

Timeline update

Hello everyone, we’ve been working hard to prepare Uamp for manufacturing. Our initial aim was to release Uamp in late July. Unfortunately we won't be able to make that deadline. Ok yes we are frustrated and I'm sure you are too. However, the good news is that the design is coming to completion and we are very happy with the final development of Uamp.

Why the delay?

Well the main reason is sourcing components to build 5000 units is no easy task. We have sourced 95% of what we need. But the battery and a few of the chips will take the factories longer to get, about 6 weeks. It's frustrating to us that we have everything we need except only a few parts which then hold up everything else. So we estimate the delivery of Uamp to be in late August/early September. 

Stretch Goal updates:

We also want to share with you some updates of some of the stretch goals.

1. Detachable clip

After testing many different types of clips we have decided to go with a magnetic clip. The clip is silicon with bendable metal and magnets on each end. 

You can attach it to the inside of your pockets, shirt/t-shirt, bag and more very easily. Uamp then sticks magnetically to the clip. 

The magnetic clip is strong, we have tested it ourselves and are very impressed.

2. Carry bag, which one do you like?

Bart and myself both like a different carry bag. On the left we have a gray felt bag with elastic band and on the right we have a white soft canvas bag with a draw string. Both will be able to hold Uamp and cords. Which one do you prefer. 

So we are going to leave the decision up to you. Tell us which one you like better. 

Your support is awesome

Thanks again for your support, we know you are all eager to get your hands on Uamp and we are doing our best to get it to you ASAP. Feel free to comment your thoughts and we are happy to answer any questions you might have.

Much Love

Bart + Joe

Hi everyone, 

Finally an update from Kickstarter about payment issues!  

From Kickstarter "There was a temporary error and if your backers try to go through the fix payment flow again, their pledges will be collected. Can you ask any backers to try again? Rest assured that they will not be charged twice."  

So if you have the error message try again, you will not be charged twice!  

Cheers
