FROM THE QUIRKY TEAM...
Hey Quirks!
It’s been a big week in Quirktown… but then again, when is it ever a small week? A ton went down. As always, products launched -- Switch, a modular pocket knife -- and products reached threshold -- SlingBack, a cord management device.
Speaking of cord management, after much thought, we’ve decided to redesign Wrapster. The community loved the winning design, and the renders looked great. But when we received the prototypes, tested them ourselves, and gave them to friends and family to take for a spin, it was pretty clear: something wasn’t right. Over the next few months, we’re excited to work with the community to rework the design so that the final product is the ULTIMATE earbud cord management "thingy" – and that it sells!
We know that’s a lot to chew on, and we want to hear what you think. So next week, we’ll be holding a virtual Quirky Town Meeting to chat about many of these issues. Help us out with scheduling by posting your availability on the forum.
And if you have any questions, comments, or concerns before then, by all means, contact us! We're at questions@quirky.com.

PRODUCT UPDATES
 |
SLING BACK
After 325 days, Quirky’s first product has made it into production! Our designers are just getting started on fine-tuning the design, so we’re likely in for a bit of a wait. Trust us, it’ll be worth it.

BOBBLE BRUSH
We’re just about done with tooling on Bobble, and we’re working on some minor details like packaging copy and shipping labels. Barring any delays, we hope to have these in your hands by the end of May.

CLOAK
We just received the latest Cloak prototype, and it’s pretty rockin’. We uploaded a video where Ben shows off all its cool features. Check it out!

USER OF THE WEEK
Jeff Scholen
Why he rocks: PowerCurl sales are through the roof! We recently hit the 3000 unit mark, and with the recent release of colored PowerCurls, we’re sure that number will keep growing, and growing, and… you know. To celebrate the milestone, Jeff sent us a delicious chocolate cake from Magnolia Bakery. Yay happy inventors!
