Here is how our referral program works:

1. Add a pledge for an iMacompanion
2. Click on the link button below our video to get your personalized referral link
3. Share that link via the different social medias: Facebook, Twitter, Reddit...
4. Track via your Indiegogo profile how many times your linked has been used to add a pledge. If you are an early bird contributor and you have at least five referrals your iMacompanion will be FREE! 

At the end of our Indiegogo campaign, we will refund you based on how many times your referral link has been used to add pledges and you can of course use it to get more than one iMacompanion funded! 

TIP: Just sharing your link may not be effective enough. The most efficient way to get referrals would be to share one of our photos that you like, explain why you supported our campaign, and then add your referral link.  

Do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions on our referral program!

Certain USB devices, such as a printer or a hard drive, may always stay connected to your iMac. They can therefore be plugged into the rear ports of the iMac and left there without a problem. However, when you want to add files from your USB thumb, transfer photos, or other day to day uses for a USB port - accessing them in the back can be a hassle! 

The iMacompanion solves that problem by giving you access to a front USB port while preserving the beautiful design of the iMac. 

The iMacompanion is a USB 3.0 extension made out of sandblasted and anodized aluminum to seamlessly integrate itself at the foot of the iMac. Thanks to the ultra-slim cable (0.01 inch/0.25 mm) that passes under the foot of the iMac, it will keep your desktop cable free.

To install, simply remove the protective layer of the PU (polyurethane) below the iMacompanion, stick it on the tip of the foot, and pass the cable under the iMac. The cable will be completely invisible from the front. 

Thanks to its unique design, the iMacompanion is fully compatible with all iMacs ranging from 2004 until Today! It also works with both the 21.5 inch and the 27 inch versions and it is very likely that it will be compatible with future iMacs. 

The iMacompanion is also compatible with Apple's Cinema Display screens and other brands of screens with hard to reach USB ports in the back. Please check measurements carefully before pledging.

The iMacompanion is a USB 3.0 extension made out of sandblasted and anodized aluminum just like Apple's own iMac.

Xbench Transfer Speed test on iMac with fusion drive and an SSD external drive*:

• In the iMac's rear port: Write 130MB/s Read 140MB/s
  
• Via the iMacompanion: Write 110MB/s Read 140MB/s
  

*Performance may vary from one drive to another.

The PU below the iMacompanion can be re-used several times should you need to change iMacs (though we recommend not to treat it as a mobile port).

The iMacompanion is an accessory every iMac owner should have. It's also a unique gift for people who love their iMacs!

Here are all the steps that we have completed so far in the creation process of the iMacompanion:

To continue we need your support and funding. We have already gathered the funds to produce a USB 2.0 iMacompanion but the market has really told us that USB 3.0 is the way to go! Therefore we have to create specific molds for the USB 3.0 connectors and we need your help to order them as they are expensive! Here is the timeline from the project onwards:

Launching the iDockAll last year has taught us precisely how to successfully completed a campaign, and we know how challenging it can be. Our priority is, and has always been, to make sure our backers are happy with their purchase and the service they have received. We are very proud to say that in the vast majority of cases, we have succeeded! We intend to do even better in this campaign.

We are now 100% ready. All processes have been carefully tested, allowing us to establish confirmed lead times of manufacturing. We are confident to say that we will be able to ship within five months of the project's funding.

Please let us know if you have any questions or comments, we would love to hear from you.

And of course, feel free to share this project with anyone who loves their iMacs.

Thank you warmly for your support,

Nathalie and Kevin
