Today we have a quick update. You helped us reach $50,000, unlocking our third stretch goal! Our thanks, of course, goes out to all of you! Each and every backer will be receiving a replaceable StylusFlex tip!
(We may have a surprise for you next update... so for those who haven't already voted for the next stretch goal color - please do!)
Have a great rest of your weekend!

Hi Friends,
We hope you had an excellent weekend and wish you an even better start to your week.
Over the weekend, we passed 450% of our funding goal and now have over 1,450 backers. Amazing.
As promised, today we have Jessie Bernal - an extremely talented artist from Colorado - tuning in with us while on a road trip across the United States. If you missed our last update, Jessie will be joining us for a mini series on teaching us how to easily draw some of the things around us using StylusFlex.
She's starting off with something super simple: flowers in a vase. We hope this inspires you to use your StylusFlex in creative ways, and maybe even sparks the artist inside of you!
We've had numerous requests for different colors. So we counted the top 3 and we'll be asking you to vote again on your favorite color. If you missed out last time on your color getting the majority vote - not to worry here's another chance! (Please leave your vote on the main comment board, not on this update - thank you!)
Huge thanks to everyone who shared StylusFlex yesterday and over the past few weeks, we would not be here without you!
We count votes democratically, so there's only one guaranteed way for a color to win... get the most votes! Swing the vote, get your friends on board to vote for your favorite color and share! Thank you so much!
All the best,
Alia & Seva

StylusFlex Backers
You hear this a lot, we know. But we truly can’t say it enough. Thank you.
We're now a 700+ backer community and counting. We can’t wait to get StylusFlex to you.
We gave you a sneak peek on our last update of what we’ve been working on and now we want to throw in one more thing... For those who didn’t get their color chosen last round, we’re doing another round of voting with the previous colors and some newly added ones! (Please leave your vote on the main comment board, not on this update - thank you!)
We're so close to getting all of our stretch goals unlocked - please share this on Facebook + Twitter so we can get you the color of your choice!
Thanks for sharing & thanks for listening. Have a fantastic start to your week!

We also wanted to share just a few of the projects supporting StylusFlex:
It's quite a neat piece, solving a worldwide problem - losing your wallet, but now being able to find it with its tracking system. Be the only one to access your wallet with the first CODE WALLET. It also includes RFID protection and a tracking system.
Blazing fast wireless charging for your iPhone & Android
We personally hate having a limited amount of chargers around and having to plug one out of your bedroom to charge in your living room. Our friends at XVIDA have developed a system of accessories that bring extremely fast wireless charging with effortless magnetic mounting to your smartphone (iPhone & Android). Check them out and ditch the cables here.
Thanks again!!!
Stretch Goal #1 Unlocked + Another Surprise

Dear Friends,
After another week of hard work, we made it to our first stretch goal. We listened to your thoughts and ideas on the comments board and have a decisive winner - Cosmos!
For everyone who shared, thank you! And for those who didn't get a chance to, keep posting your ideas on the comments board and we'll be there taking note of anything you share (there might just be another opportunity coming soon).
We've been working with our manufacturer to get something very special for you. We're still finalizing the details and wanted to wait to tell you this, but we just can't hold our breath any more. After continuous work with our manufacturer, we've agreed to produce replaceable StylusFlex tips. And because we love you so much, we're giving each backer an additional tip FOR FREE - just as long as we can hit 50k =) That's one of the things we've been working on behind the scenes and are absolutely thrilled to share with you. We hope you like it.
You've already made this so amazing. Please continue to spread the word amongst friends on Facebook & Twitter like you have been.
Thank you,
Alia & Seva
P.S. If you haven't already checked it out, we added a new limited reward level that gives you the option to have all 3 colors to match your devices for OVER 50% off, exclusively for our friends on Kickstarter (you can substitute any color for the stretch goal color(s)). Check it out here =)
P.P.S. We wanted to share a few projects we like in the Kickstarter community =)
Our friends at Minimal Design Company created a new type of bottle that's really worth looking into.
Minimal Design Co. created a minimalistic high-grade silicone water bottle that rolls up and starts fires! So in other words, its designed to go everywhere and do anything you do! Check it out by clicking the image and get it while early birds are still available.
Dinosaur Eggs
A fun, creative project, the folks over at Dinosaur Egg Farm are helping take a jab at animal extinction with their cool product. Dinosaur eggs, straight from the depths of the Patagonia, delivered to you for the first time ever. The only catch? They take 6 million years to hatch. Hatch your eggs too early, and a cute little surprise awaits you in the egg. The perfect gift for any animal lover, at any age. We highly recommend that you take a few minutes to see what they’re all about.
