Hi Backers,
The survey was already sent out. Please check your e-mail. If you can not find one, please check out in your junk box. In case you can not really see the e-mail, please message us.
The survey will ask you to select the buckle color, strap size, strap color and address. You can also add-on the extra buckles and straps as many as you like.
The belt strap has 5 sizes.
S - strap length 41" - recommend for waist 28" - 32"
M - strap length 46" - recommend for waist 33" - 37"
L - strap length 51" - recommend for waist 38" - 42"
Just give you an idea how the size work. For example, size M strap which has 46" length, if you have 37" waist, buckle has 3" length, you will have 6" strap tail left to grow. If you have 33" waist, you will have 10" strap tail left to grow.
We suggest you to order follow the recommended size. However, if you want extra long or shorter tail, you can choose the size you prefer.
Please complete the belt size as quick as you can. It would help us a lot.
You will be the first who experience MIN Belt. MIN Belt is the perfect gift this coming Christmas. Don't forget to order for your special one too!
Cheers.

Hi Backers,
Sorry for keep you waiting. We have a big update for you guys today.
1. Two textures in 1 MIN Strap experiment is done. This feature took us sometimes to figure it out the manufacturing technique. Even this process will cost us more to produce, we decide to upgrade the MIN Strap to 2 textures in 1 Strap to every backers for free. I hope you will love it. Two textures in 1 MIN Strap really add more value. So, we can utilize both sides of the MIN Strap to extend the MIN Belt possibilities. Really nice!
2. Another good news. We will offer MIN Strap in four colors: Black, Brown, Navy and White ... Nice colors.
3. We decided to cancel the Blue PVD MIN Buckle offer. After deep trial, we found that the Blue PVD process is extremely difficult to get the consistent result. Sorry to let some backers down. We don't want to deliver imperfect product that might cost our reputation. So, we will offer MIN Buckle in 5 colors: Natural Stainless Steel, Shiny Stainless Steel, Gold, Black and Copper.
4. We are working on setting up the survey using Backerkit. Further than collecting the survey data, Backerkit allows backer to add-on extra MIN Buckle and Strap and pay through credit card. For backers who are new with Backerkit, it is a popular tools that widely used by thousands of crowdfunding project. So, we totally trust in them and hope our backers will be happy with their service. We think we can send out the survey within this week.
5.The actual MIN Belt looks real nice like a jewelry piece, because we put a lot of effort and time to hand finish every surface and corner until it comes out over our expectation. We really love it, you will love it too. MIN Belt would be a great Christmas gift for this year.
See you in the next update.

Hi Backers,
After long hours of tweeking the perfect MIN Buckle out of mold, we finally got it. The MIN Belt looks simple, Right? But it is a lot harder than we thought when it comes to mass production. Our original manufacturing process was failed in trial. So, it took us quite some times to figure out. Eventually, This is the first MIN Buckle out of mold.
The MIN Buckle which is formed by molding has a perfect shape and curve. We are so relieved to step over the biggest obstacle. Now, we are back on track and ready to prepare for mass production.
For the MIN Strap, we are waiting for the final samples which are supposed to reach us this week. Once we make a conclusion, we will send the survey out to you guys immediately.
If you have friends who wants to pre-order MIN Belt, please share our link.
Thank you for your support as always. Catch you soon!

Hi Backers,
In the past two weeks, we worked on the MIN Buckle toolings and molds. There are some adjustments need to be executed, but we are getting there. The simple look MIN Buckle is more difficult than we thought when it comes to mass production. Many details has to be fine tuned to get the result up to the high standard that we target for. Don't worry we still on the schedule and in control.
MIN Buckle Toolings and Molds
For the MIN Strap, we have been working on the 2 Textures in 1 Strap altogether with the extra colors. We plan to have more than 3 colors to choose from. However, we are working on the right formula to get the perfect feel, texture at the right color tone. We are getting there. Nothing need to be worried, we are on top of it. We are showing you this strap samples. The colors are not exactly what we expecting yet, but you will get the idea.
Nice MIN Straps are coming.

Hi Backers,
We have some updates to tell everyone this week.
Money: We just received the e-mail from Kickstrarter today notified that the funds are now being transferred to our bank account. It would take a few days for the bank to process the transfer. That's a good news for this week. Nevertheless, there are some dropped pledges from credit card declining. If you know that your pledge is dropped, please contact or message us. We will find the way to recover and help you out.
MIN Buckle: There is not much progress on MIN Buckle to show you guy since the toolings and molds need to be completed before we can make the perfect MIN Buckle. The actual process is more complicated than we expected. However, we figure out the way to handle it. Soon, we should be able to show you more in progress.
MIN Strap: The samples of 2 Textures in 1 MIN Strap are scheduled to complete this week. We would evaluate the design while working altogether with the actual cost in order to see the possibility to offer this feature to all the backers at the original pledge. So, the survey would be sent out when we finalize the product features and colors. Please wait.
