hello quirks -
so we promised updated and additional renders of the kickster (you remember, the awesomely cool, multi-functional ipod case that we made in 24 hours). 
We’ve got these up now and our apologies for the delay! View these 6 new renders on kickster’s product page. We’ve pre-sold 59/300 of these so far. Lots of influence still up for grabs.
Are we gonna move this product into manufacturing too? You tell us! Commit now…$14.35 in pre-sales.
Yes, we know, one product in 24 hours seemed crazy enough. But never put it past the quirky to accomplish the seemingly impossible. We are happy to announce the launch of Kickster as well.
quirky’s kickster is an awesomely new case designed by the quirky community and apple enthusiasts worldwide within 24 hours of apple’s announcement of the 5th generation iPod nano. We designed this scratch resistant case with the maximum combination of beauty and function.
This case maintains a slim profile while adding a ton of functionality. We’re talking: hard plastic exterior, cord wrap, shock-resistant silicone core, as well as full body and screen protection.
Oh, but that’s only half of it. This case comes packed with a hand steadying video grip that transforms into vertical and horizontal kickstands. For more product specific details, check out the product’s page.
Also, please be kind: our render farm had a technical glitch circa 5 am this morning so there are currently only low resolution renders. We don’t have all the views we wanted to show you, but keeping to our promise, we have launched this product. We will be updating the images throughout the day. What we can promise you now, is this thing will be fantastic!
Commit to pre-sales now!
Just one hour after our product(s) got selected, the wheels are definitely in motion.
We had an amazing amount of community participation for our 1st quick & quirky event. Over 80 ideas were submitted for the ultimate apple accessory.
The winning idea was the Matthew Toghill’s stand case for the new ipod nano. Thing is, there was a kick-ass runner up product that the entire quirky in house industrial design and engineering team wanted to move forward with as well.
So what did we decide to do? We couldn’t simply let Jeff Scholen’s cord wrap idea that go so much love remain just another gadget we wish we had…So we got on phone and called Jeff himself. We asked if we could move forward with his product even though it was second place. He was pumped to let us developed his product too.
So alas, we got a little quirky ourselves here…we’re making 2 products instead of 1!
The case for the new nano will launch tomorrow by 12:45 pm as promised and we will get the cord wrap to the online store as soon as possible as well.
Red bull is on its way to our office…stay up with us everyone…time to submit names for both these products while our designers and engineers are concepting these products away.
Software doesn’t do much to excite me– I’m a hands on tangible product type guy, as is most of the rest of the team here at quirky. So.. We thing the new nano + video is really cool, and has some great opportunity to build accessories around.
That said, it’s important to note that today’s event is not just for products related to apple’s latest gadget, but ideas for any type of apple add on / accessory that has been chilling in that head of yours for a while. With just over two hours left to submit, better get crackin’ It’s onto evaluation when the clock hit’s 5 eastern. Carry on.
