Postage of Elppy™ is estimated to be $5USD to Australia and $10USD to the rest of the world. The postage cost is the same for all perks (except retail pack), so you can bundle multiple Elppy's for the same postage!
Elppy™ will be produced in Black, Blue & Green but new colors will be introduced if stretch goals can be met.
COLOR SELECTION:
For all rewards that offer backer-selected colors, backers will be able to make their color choices via a separate survey that we'll send around at the end of the campaign.
$80,000: MORE COLORS TO SELECT FROM!
If we manage to raise $80K, we'll be adding three additional colors selections, including rose gold, for your Elppy™!
$100,000: WATER RESISTANT!
If we manage to raise $100K, we'll make sure the casing is water resistant, so you don't have to worry about any accidents!
Our current design is fairly water resistant, but we cant guarantee it (mainly around the buttons). If we achieve this stretch goal, we'll be able to add a manufacturing process that will guarantee water resistance.
$150,000: SECRET STRETCH GOAL!
If we manage to raise $150K, we'll be introducing a secret stretch goal! We can't tell you all the details just yet, but we can tell you it will be a celebration you won't want to miss;) Keep an eye on our updates for the secret stretch goal announcement!
