Gecko Connector/Adapter



Gecko Dongle


What is Gecko?

Gecko is a magnetic wireless-style charger adapter for iPhone, Android and other Micro-USB powered devices.

Gecko is a simple three-piece kit:

  • Gecko Connector, a tiny plug for your Lightning or Micro-USB port
  • Gecko Adapter, a magnetic adapter for your existing sync/charge cable
  • Gecko Dongle, a small dongle that transforms all your power-banks or USB port in a convenient wireless-style charging station.

Both Connectors and Dongles auto align themselves and start charging instantly

Gecko is small and thin enough to be applied to any smartphone with a Micro-USB port or a Lightning port. its adhesive surface will lock the connector directly to the mobile or on the bumper in a breeze.  Thanks to our specialized micro-connector, Gecko is so small it will fit into any custom phone case so you don’t have to ditch your favorite phone cover.

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!
