  Quirky HQ has been transformed into a temporary warehouse as we attempt to ship all 1200+ powercurl orders that have piled up over the past few weeks.

  
  

  Shipments are going out in the order of which the orders were received, so please be patient.  We expect to have shipped all orders by the end of the week.

  
  

  Congratulations to Jeff who should be receiving an extra special care package by 10am tomorrow morning.

  
  

  We’re totally psyched about the product and think it has a very bright future.

  
  

  For all of you who are influencers, your money should start hitting your account by the end of the week if it hasn’t done so already.

  
  

  As always, hit tiny dino with questions.

  Beamer Hits Quirky’s Online Store

  By nikki at 2:11 pm

  Beamer has hit the store! $32 to purchase it in pre-sales and our threshold is 500. Go get ‘em quirks!
  
  quirky’s Beamer is an iphone case with a built in light. This light can dual function as a flash for your iphone’s camera as well as a light for use whenever you see fit – Dropped something under the table at dinner? Need a flashlight for your car? Squinting to read a menu in candlelight? Taking a picture in the dark? Beamer is the case that shines!
  
  
  
  Beamer is a hard, durable plastic case with a friction-fit, 2 piece design. Beamer’s base slides out for quick insertion of your iphone. Turning on the light is easy. Simply press the silicone button once and the light will remain on for 10 seconds – leaving you with enough time to snap your picture. Pressing the button twice in a row will leave the light on indefinitely until you are ready to turn it off – to do so, just press the button a 3rd time.
  
  Beamer’s super bright LED is powered by its own battery (residing on the inside of the case) so it does not drain any of your iphone’s battery. And not to worry, the button is set in a groove to avoid being accidentally turned on when in your pocket thus keeping the battery alive as long as possible.
  
  You can choose from one of quirky’s funky case colors. With the Beamer, all you iPhone-ers out there need not feel jealous of your Blackberry-ing friends. Now you too can have stellar phone pictures.
  
  NOTE: Beamer will use replaceable Lithium coin cell batteries for an estimated life of about 10 hours of super bright illumination.

  85W Long vs 85W

  By nikki at 5:55 pm

  For those of you selecting your PowerCurl SKU: we realize there was some question about which version to select and what we meant by “older generation.” Here is a picture that helps differentiate the 85WLong versus the 85W. Notice the 85WLong is more rectangular. Email tinydino@quirky.com with any further questions!
