Just a quick note to thank everyone for their patience as we get orders out the door - we're as stressed about getting these shipped as you are about receiving them, and appreciate the added patience!

Team Wallee

Did you watch the final launch of space shuttle Endeavour? An intrepid Wallee owner did, and even used his Wallee to watch all the specifics on an app called MissionClock

Doesn't get much more awesome than that!

Thanks again, @mstyne!

Thanks Richard H. for sharing this!!

    

We've been quietly testing our super tuff adhesive wall mount and we're ready to share a few pictures of it in action. This is the perfect option for anyone who's renting, doesn't feel comfortable drilling, or wants to mount their Wallee onto glass or some other material where drilling is simply not an option.

We're really excited to be offering this very soon and think you'll find a whole new host of places to put wall mounts with this simple, stick-on option!

These are pictures we've taken during the final testing phase - it's held up perfectly and remains super strong even after a few days of constant use.  There's a little more testing to do, but this one will be available in the next month or so.

As always, keep up to date by following up on twitter (@thewallee), and right here on our blog.

GeekSugar has just named us as one of the best tech toys mothers will love for $100 or less, and, well, we kinda agree!

And Happy Mothers Day to all!

Oh happy days! 

We are excited to be able to share that all products are set to ship out next week.  It was an frantic race to the finish line, with many sleepless nights - but we've loved every minute (well....almost every minute)!

We're still working long days, and will continue to do so until each and every pre-order is delivered, and then all orders thereafter.

We would however like to take a brief moment to say a MASSIVE thank you to our brilliant manufacturing partners around the world who all worked overtime to help us get orders fulfilled as quickly as possible given the unavoidable delays that we hit at the end.  It's inspiring to work with craftsmen who are at the top of their game and passionate enough to be a part of our team at a very granular level, guiding us every step of the way.

Also, we thank you all for your patience.  We regret the delays we hit, but we're very glad to be bringing you products we're sure you'll love!

Now, no rest for the weary. It's right back to the design lab for us as we work to bring you even more exciting products.

Regards,

Team Wallee!

A quick note to update you on orders and stock availability.  

You'll notice that we shifted the shipping dates across our new products, and while we truly hate having to do that, we rather delay shipping slightly and produce products that are absolutely perfect - we're sure you agree and we know that once your order is delivered (soon!), you'll agree they were well worth the wait.

We remain very excited about how beautiful our accessories are, they are easily the best looking products on the market - and your great emails tell us that you agree.

Staying true to our commitment to being open and up-front, we can share that the delay comes down to two main things:

-  The interest in all of our accessories and iPad 2 case far surpassed our estimates based on what we had seen for Wallee 1.  Yes, we've sold more iPad 2 cases than we did for the 1st gen iPad, and we had to increase our initial production run immediately. Completely amazing for our little (well...not so little anymore) start-up, and a great testament from you that we're doing things right!  More product = more time, unfortunately there's no getting around that.  We are however going to be express shipping (as opposed to shipping by sea) some stock into to our warehouses directly (at a significant expense) from our factories as they roll off the line so that we cut down that additional delay as much as possible and can get Wallee products into your hands as soon as possible.

-  The finishing, packaging and packing process is taking a little longer than anticipated, and there is more to do given the previous point.  We admittedly should have been more diligent in controlling this part of the process (where possible), and we've learnt some very valuable lessons here that will help us in future product launches (Yes - still got lots of tricks up our sleeves!)

We want to thank you all for your patience, your constant flow of communication and feedback, and your willingness to be an active part of our product development process.

Feel free to contact me directly with any questions,

Nothing shows progress like a good batch of fresh pictures, so check these out!  

Rolling off the production line and looking as sleek as we imagined, finished to perfection in aircraft-grade Aluminium that has been sand-blasted and anodized to create an amazingly accurate apple-like finish, sure to match your iPad perfectly!

We can't wait for these to get to you!  We'll keep you posted on delivery schedules as we get closer to despatch.

Regards,

Team Wallee!

Hi there!

We got some fresh pictures from our great manufacturing partners showing how our accessories are progressing,so we're passing them along to you.  The Aluminium accessories have not yet been sand blasted or anodised and that's why they look a lot shinier than the finished product.  We kinda love the silver iPad 2 case we made as a test unit, what do you think?  The great news is that it fits perfectly and it is so thin and low profile that you can barely even tell it's there - we're very happy with the result and know you'll all be too!

That first picture is of the kick stand, before they go through a 'form' and get their sexy curves.  The next two are of the VESA adapter, and then our Wallee case for iPad 2.

We're getting there, and are super excited that you've all responded so well to our accessories, we can't wait to get them to you!

Don't forget to visit our facebook page, 'like' us, and check out all the brilliant customer submitted pictures of their brag-worthy Wallee installs!
