If this isn't your first rodeo, here's the quickie: tomorrow you'll receive an email from BackerKit with the subject line "Response Needed -- Get your reward for SuperStraps: Protect & relieve your back and neck." Open that up and fill 'er on out.
If this is your first Kickstarter project, scroll on down this email for the what, why and how on your survey.
So when is SuperStraps shipping?
We've made our first 50 SuperStraps. Manufacturing has begun. We're on track and on time to begin shipping in October.
Yeah!!
Did the design I voted for win?
Guess what? Mine didn't! And that's one of the reasons I love crowdfunding so much. I've held the winning design in my hand and it looks SO AMAZING.
We heard from over 4,000 backers (love you!) and one design emerged as the clear winner, getting 2-5x more votes than the others:
Well done, you!!
Survey Details
If this is your first Kickstarter: how exciting!! Kickstarter doesn't provide your shipping information to us; now's your chance to share it. Over the next few days, you'll be receiving an email from BackerKit, the super deluxe Kickstarter survey software that will help us speed up shipping and get complicated pledges sorted out. Here are the details:
Your personal survey will be sent to the email address you use to log in to Kickstarter. Note:If you use Facebook to log in to your Kickstarter account, the BackerKit survey link will be sent to your Facebook email.
You do not need to create a BackerKit account to fill out your survey, just click on the survey link, fill it out, and you’re good to go! You will be able to answer questions about your reward preferences, provide shipping information, and pledge for more “add-ons” if you'd like.
You're able to change your survey responses, add or remove add-ons, or update your shipping information anytime before we lock the surveys down (around August 21st). To make a change, just click on the link in your survey email again or request your survey link under "Lost your survey?" here: https://superstraps.backerkit.com/ (This page will only start working after we send the surveys out.)
It is important to submit your responses as quickly as you can since we need this information to process your rewards.
Just a reminder that you do not have access to your survey link yet, but you'll be getting it soon. And of course feel free to drop us a message if you ever have any questions at all. You can use the Kickstarter messaging app or email Angela or Mary at [email protected]. We are here to make this easy on you.

Hello Lovelies!
Happy June!!!! It has been a few weeks since our Kickstarter ended and we are still riding high on gratitude for each and every one of you. Thank you oh so much for supporting us in bringing SuperStraps to life. We are so touched and excited and appreciative!

Bryan is the man with the plan (PM) and a great designer (ID) to boot + Josh is SuperStraps' lead engineer and industrial designer. Wish them a bon voyage!
Survey
In July, we will send out a survey to collect your shipping information. We will be using BackerKit (the rolls royce of crowdfunding software) so you’ll be able to login and manage your pledge and shipping information easily. No action needed for now and we will make sure you have a wide window to get your info over to us once we publish the survey next month.
Indiegogo
We are now live on Indiegogo InDemand here, in case any of your friends want to pre-order SuperStraps. We still have discounted pricing available, but these guys will ship in the manufacturing run after yours, arriving just in time for the holidays. If you shared our Indiegogo link (https://igg.me/at/superstraps/x/3789557), well...

Hellooooo Beautifuls!
We just hit a huge milestone: we passed $500,000 with 10 days to go!! That's 6,921 incredible backers motivating us to build quickly, thoughtfully and thoroughly before SuperStraps ends up on your favorite backpack.
(1) We priced shipments from the fulfillment partner we use day-to-day running BetterBack, but since there are so dang many of you incredible people spread around the world, we want to study up on if we can ship to you faster and/or with less annoying duties.
(2) We want to host our first Kickstarter Live and are trying to sort out what time can accommodate the most people. If you're as new to Kickstarter Lives as we are, we will be popping on video for ~60 minutes to meet you, share prototypes and answer your questions in real time. It's gonna be a pahtay!
Sending so much love and thanks!!! We are out of our brains excited to bring SuperStraps to life with you.
