FAQs
Q: Where do I choose if I want a Lightning or Micro USB?
A: We'll send you a survey at the end of the campaign.
Q: It didn't ask me for my address. How can I let you know my address?
A: That will be in the end of campaign questionnaire.
Q: If I have a phone case, the connector is thin enough to sit between the phone and the case, right?
A: No, the connector will clip into your phone and remain outside of the phone case so that it can connect quickly and easily to the adapter or the dongle.
Q: Can you add a USB type C version since it’s becoming the new standard?
A: We're thinking of setting up a stretch goal for that!
Q: If I pre-order a double pack or a family pack, can I choose a mix of lightning and micro-usb Gecko connectors?
A: Yes! You can choose what you want from the survey we'll send out at the end of the campaign!
Risks & Challenges
All of the Gecko's, connectors, adapters and dongles on this page are working prototypes. This means that the
finished products will be even more polished. Changes may also occur in
the final solution of the Gecko based on the feedback we receive
during the campaign.
We’re very much a team of perfectionists. Because we’re striving to
create something that is not only functional but nice and durable,
we’ve already faced and beat several challenges including design and
partner changes. We now have a core team and close partners who have
years and years of experience in the fields of engineering, product
design and manufacturing.
Thanks to the range and depth of specialized knowledge
within our team, we’ve put together prototypes that are very close to
the industrial product design which will be used in manufacturing all of
the various parts of Gecko.
The risks of delayed delivery are truly minimal as we’ve already
locked down agreements with our manufacturers and have dates of delivery
from them. These manufacturers, who we’ve chosen because of their focus
on detail, have quality control officers who will ensure that we are
sending out the best product possible.
We’ve also already found shipping partners in Honk Kong as well to help
us find the best solutions and in hopes that the final delivery phase is
literally smooth sailing.
The road from the very first idea to the final delivery of Gecko is a long one. We’re doing everything possible on this
side of our campaign to make sure that things runs correctly once it’s
been funded. We want to make sure that you get Gecko that matches
your expectations in the time-frame we’re aiming for.
At any rate, we understand the importance of communicating all
decisions, setbacks or changes. We love this special aspect of
crowdfunding. The fact is that you as a backer are not simply buying a
product. You are deciding to take part in the adventure and you become
part of the team.
Your feedback is precious and
we’ll keep you up to date on what’s happening as we finish this first
part of our adventure product delivery!
