Still not working. Re-posting below...

I did receive an email on 27th June, 2014 saying I hadn't been forgotten. To be clear, that email stated that -- "We fully believe that we will be able to have your order complete within the next four weeks (hopefully sooner)."

So... what's changed in the last four weeks?

To respond with an alternative, I would prefer a more detailed email stating -

1. my original backer order;
2. what it has changed to now based on decisions made since kickstarter closed (fully aware of all the issues you guys have been transparently sharing with us all) - this detail is just for my own clarity;
3. clarify which ring (or rings) in my order are causing the delay; and,
4. what options are on the table to bypass the delays and get something shipped now - i.e. swap ring choices (to what?) change sizes? etc.

I just got the email saying I'm in a holding pattern. It listed my order as:

NTAG203-V1-NORMAL-T-B-B-9.5
NTAG203-V1-ALPHA-B-B-B-14

Now maybe this means something to ya'll in the NFC Ring office, but it's a bit vague for me. At a guess, it looks like I'm down for -

• a "normal" titanium ring with black+black inlays, size 9.5.
• an "alpha" black-plated metal with black+black inlays, size 14.

Now as much as I'd love to consider alternatives, I'm not sure which of these (or both?) are holding up delivery? Also, what are my options -- just choose any other ring at all?

Without knowing more, I'm inclined to wait it out for even longer -- hopefully there is an end in sight. I'd be very sad to just end up with a refund after all this. Aside from all that, a visually-QA-failed ring so I can make some progress with my electric door strike + arduino/raspberry gadgets would be great! nudgehint* :))

Just have multiple rings. :)

You know us geeks are just dying for an "NFC-only" jewellery box, right? :))

Any chance of a wiki for build-guides and better sharing (and improving) of How-To instructions? (preferably including image hosting)
