Do you support the projects on Kickstarter?

Kickstarter

Brydge w/speakers: It's for sale, I have one I prefer, and I don't like the way it attaches to the iPad, nor do I like the stickers on the keys.

Cruxskunk keyboard (thought by the way things were going, this would show up before the Brydge.

Playgo, an Airplay device that did not get funded.

An iPhone surround bumper (I forgot the name) that also did not get funded.

I plan to hold back on being a sponsor, have hoped for a couple of items to really come through, but didn't and the one that was successful generated a lot of ill will due to their lack of communication to questions by sponsors, some of which were legitimate questions regarding major changes and design, and delivery options and costs.

I may support some of the arts and charity efforts though as it seems to be a good and well known crowd sourcing resource.

I pledge only one so far, but I often browse for other interested project.

Then why did you donate? The hinge design was that way from almost the beginning.

Pebble is the only Kickstarter I"ve backed thus far.

Nope, but they are very forthcoming with the details of the projects.
Lots of pics/video from the production factories in China and updates on the software

Going to be worth it? Is there any that will look professional?

Worth it? They were only $125 at most so it doesn't take much.

Worth it as in worth the price. I don't wear watches but for my profession, I'd like to have a professional looking watch and be able to see who is calling/texting me or if I have any messages by just looking at my watch.

They haven't shipped so it's impossible to tell if its worth it.

Just looking at it right now doesn't seem like a reasonable price. Looks like it should be $50, half that if it didn't do what it does.

I spend more than the price of the watch on dinner most weekend nights. Worth it is subjective

Check out the Slope iPad stand. Very cool. Uses nanotechnology. Love the simple design. Will look perfect next to my iMac coming in a couple weeks.

Spoke with inventor. Interestingly because of the special properties of the nano foam the longer you keep the iPad on the stand the stronger it adheres. I often get frustrated with suction type devices as they eventually lose their grip.

Congratulations, you enjoy wasting your money. I for one would rather cook my dinner and save the cash.

I'm not saying I wouldn't spend $125 on this watch, but the way it looks right now $50 is a more responsible price. I hope the backers are happy, if they are then I will check it out.

This looked like such a cool case for the iPhone 5 but I don't know what happened....just waiting for the Chinese to make it now I guess....

Same here.

I've backed a number of projects on Kickstarter, not necessarily just for apple products. The most recent one was for the myLED for iPhone and iPad.

Nibiqu on Kickstarter

I'm backing this one because it is the keyboard most like the Surface:

Kickstarters I Backed

I recently backed an iOS role-playing/simulation game called Halfling Wars. It's still active on Kickstarter and hasn't funded yet so check it out

Halfling Wars Kickstarter

I've also backed a Military Canvas Backpack by Collected Works

An online film festival on family improvement by Familius

And nature artists who make Miniature Treehouses

I've backed the sequel to Elite by David Braben called Elite Dangerous. He's raised the £1.25M he needed and enough past that to fund a version for the Mac as well. It's due in 2014.
