Where is Cinder?

Been following the forum since being one of the early backers but figured I would create an account to inform you guys that the review you see for Cinder on Amazon is in fact legit. I posted it today. Want to squash all the conspiracy theories I somehow see inevitable.

Like all of you I have been pissed off at the lack of communication, shipping b/s, and even ordered other "backups" recently because I truly believed we were being scammed.

But then it happened; the tracking number actually worked on Sept 16 (I am in US part of "first" batch I assume) and it was delivered USPS on Sept 22. I ordered (2) black iPhone 6 protectors. They were delivered in same padded envelope (so much for paying 2 shipping costs, but whatever, just happy I have them in hand).

After installing it last night, I saw the post on here that had a link to the Amazon site. So I guess in the short time it was active, I was able to post my review.

Seriously guys, all this crap we put up with was so worth it because this thing is as good as we all hoped it would be.

I have always used premium glass protectors on all my iPhones and Cinder is by far in a league of its own. As you can see on the review, it is as close to OEM glass in fit, feel and function as you can get. Fits like a glove with the Apple Leather Case. I tried it briefly with the Slim Armor and immediately had bubbles appearing from the pressure at the sides from the case.

I hope the rest of you recieve yours soon because no way you will not like this.

Wow, I totally understand the frustration...but really? Complaining because the item is being sold for less than what was originally planned? C'mon now..

Theyve literally disappeared from Amazon now. Can't even find a seller or product page.

But the link to the product page posted before; http://amzn.to/1Ou4n0Y
still works, just shows that it is currently unavailable.

Hopefully this is a sign that they will be eventually getting more?? The operative word being 'eventually'

are you seriously asking this?

the phone design and size will most likely change for next year's phone.... NO ONE KNOWS!

Really? But Cinder might just arrive in time for that.

I mean Cupert stated that they are honest with us and sent the packages already 3 times. I am just wondering how many more times they need to send them until they arrive.

dude! you REALLY have a hard on for this company! I didn't order... and it sounds like they are just as bad, if not worse than nomad... but you gotta give it a rest!

Thanks, but I am taking it with humour now. I even wrote a little peom ;). Some of you might recall the original song.

No Cinder today, my package hasn't gone on its way

The phone lays forlorn, a symbol of the dawn
No Cinder today, it seems a common sight
But people passing by don't know the reason why

How could they know just what this message means
The end of my hopes, the end of all my dreams

No Cinder today, it didn't seem always so
The company was gay, received the backer's money yay

My Amazon order arrived. Although I don't approve of the company's tactics, I must say the product is amazing. The glass is comparable to the glass on the iPhone 6. Can't wait to install it tomorrow.

Sigh. Anyone get any updates for the 6 Plus version?

It's out of stock? Says "unavailable"

Probably because willmtayler posted it here and somebody thought it's Cinder. There you go.
This was available already longer time. Because ~12 hours ago it was the only listed item by Cupert on Amazon and when willmtaylor posted it, it still was.

You can try asking on twitter. But they try not to answer.

Example: One person asked when they would restock and they replied with "Yes".
 
Are there still backers without a shipping number? (batch 3)
I know one and was wondering if it is the only person.
