      womp womp. :/

      I can't guarantee anything at the moment. We are sending out a confirmation email to backers imminently, we are strictly stating that all orders are fixed. However Alpha rings are going to be towards the end of the delivery schedule so if you sent a message in just over a weeks time we could see if it's possible.

      I would add though that Black Black White is a pretty awesome looking ring.

        Gotcha. Well considering all the hard work y'all have done already, I think I'll just take your word for it that it's pretty awesome looking, and if I'm unsatisfied I'll just wait for the CF voucher. Thanks again for being so helpful and friendly! You guys rock!

          All in all I'm sure I'll love the ring. Honestly though I can't wait to show off a carbon/transparent one though.

            @john,

            fight the good fight!!!

            BTW: This was the one I pledged for:
            [quote:ktnzer09]Due to popular demand we're adding The Collection early! This includes a Normal NFC Ring, Alpha Ring and the option of a Stealth Bomber Edition Ring. You will also get 3 inlays, 1 16ml, 120ml, 1 30ml. These all come with a presentation box and a chain to keep those extra rings on![/quote:ktnzer09]

            Are we/me still getting all this or just the rings,box chain, inlays etc?(obviously not the Stealth Bomber Ring)

              Hi mr3rown, as far as I know the collection will still be as listed although I'm not sure the different inlay sizes are current any more. We'll have to get one of the team to verify that one for us. And the Stealth Bomber is still present, just minus carbon fiber.

                Thanks ahead of time!

                    Has there been any headway with the carbon situation? I absolutely loved the idea of wearing carbon fibre and the weaving looked epic.

                      There was an update sent out...[url=https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/mclear/nfc-ring/posts/764107:y629hset]Update #33[/url:y629hset]. Basically it says 6 months or you get another choice of ring.

                        I think I have a fix for this now, a kevlar alternative that looks like CF. I also think I have a solution for black plated PVD rings being impossible to polish.

                        I have begun our R&D process and I should have a result in 8 weeks. It takes ages because every component in the ring is completely different so this is a complete start-from-scratch project!

                            @johnyma22 That's great news! Is the 8 weeks for the Kevlar fiber, the blask plated rings, or both? Either way, it's definitely something to look forward to.

                              I think 8 weeks for an R&D prototype @mkabala -- So far everything is actually going swimmingly the bummer is that I leave my R&D office to go to London for most of the rest of this month, I'm trying to get everything done before I leave but it's certainly going to slow things down :(

                                Great news! Hopefully I'll be able to fiddle around with my replacement before the R&D is finished but I'm amped that there may be a possible replacement.
