another one with the same issue the thing is all this goes exactly against what were looking for a simple secure and instant way to unlock

by working item i mean an item that works on ALL nfc enables phones. Instantly and easily. Without the need to remove cases.
While i accept that some of this may well come down to phone manufactures the fact remains the device is completely useless until that happens.
please understand in truth im not in the least bit worried i feel that the small amount of money put forward has left me with a reasonable attractive ring. Im just talking from a business perspective.

hmm 2 top manufacturers devices that have no error reports for nfc functionality are more likely to have issues then a ring whos 90% of customers are unhappy angry or can not get it to work, makes perfect sense. The truth is if it does not work with every nfc enabled phone (thats not broken and can read regular nfc tags) then the item does not work. You can not sell a nfc ring and then say oh it may only work with phones that havnt been invented yet. Unless you say it works on this one device (like the shitty doomed samsung gear)

so far the ring does not work with the htc one and one m8, samsung s3, s4, s5, note 2, note 3, lg g2, nexus 4, nexus 5

the fact that its hard to read makes the ring unusable and pointless (it was advertised as being a quick secure locking method)
if you have to remove a case it makes the ring unusable and pointless (just completely stupid and impraticle)
the fact it does not work with 90% of the phones on the street and market make it pointless

in short the item is sold in a 'not fit for purpose' state and as such all backers should be refunded in full and the idea either shelved or actually developed into a working item before shipping.

Recieve my ring, + spare tag ect

However when trying to set up following your quick guide my phones fails to see either side if my ring at all no matter how long I try.
However it detected the spare tag sent with the ring immediately.
Have tried on both the LG g2 and the nexus 5 same story.
It's an alpha ring so I thought the signal should be good.
Possible faulty ring? Or does the rings structure reduce the signal that dramatically?
Any help would be appreciated.

seen reports of the rings not working with the samsungs top phones.

I did the obvious stuff like remove the case (although to be fair this is pointless as i could never carry the phone without a case making ring redundant anyway)

weird thing is phones work great with all normal nfc tags and see them instantly even through there normal cases.
