“ It is less important to redistribute wealth than it is to redistribute opportunity. ”

A perfect quote to end our funding days on Kickstarter. We have learned a lot from our launch of the MySaver on Kickstarter. We were given an opportunity like so many others and for that we will be grateful for a lifetime. Thank you to our Kickstarter backers to whom we greatly appreciate and hope they will continue to follow our journey. More products that simply solve a problem are coming!

Thank you Kickstarter!

DRUMROLL PLEASE...

We've all learned quite a bit from this ride on Kickstarter! Some of our favorite quotes from you are too great not to share--

tweeting and facebook posting like mad, we can do it! --Kyle W.

Thank you wonderful MySaver on Kickstarter FANS. We hope you continue to follow us on this journey to solve every day problems with simple design solutions.

It's not the thinks that you think, it's the thinks that you do. -- straight from the RugRats so it holds a lot of weight!

1 Day | GOOD DESIGN IS AS LITTLE DESIGN AS POSSIBLE

GOOD DESIGN IS AS LITTLE DESIGN AS POSSIBLE --

Less, but better – because it concentrates on the essential aspects, and the products are not burdened with non-essentials.

Back to purity, back to simplicity. --Dieter Rams

2 Days | GOOD DESIGN IS ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY

GOOD DESIGN IS ENVIRONMENTALLY-FRIENDLY --
Design makes an important contribution to the preservation of the environment. It conserves resources and minimises physical and visual pollution throughout the lifecycle of the product. --Dieter Rams

3 Days | GOOD DESIGN IS THOROUGH, DOWN TO THE LAST DETAIL

GOOD DESIGN IS THOROUGH, DOWN TO THE LAST DETAIL --
Nothing must be arbitrary or left to chance. Care and accuracy in the design process show respect towards the consumer. --Dieter Rams

4 Days | GOOD DESIGN IS LONG LASTING

GOOD DESIGN IS LONG LASTING --
It avoids being fashionable and therefore never appears antiquated. Unlike fashionable design, it lasts many years – even in today’s throwaway society --Dieter Rams

5 Days | GOOD DESIGN IS HONEST

GOOD DESIGN IS HONEST --
It does not make a product more innovative, powerful or valuable than it really is. It does not attempt to manipulate the consumer with promises that cannot be kept. --Dieter Rams

6 Days | GOOD DESIGN IS UNOBTRUSIVE

GOOD DESIGN IS UNOBTRUSIVE --
Products fulfilling a purpose are like tools. They are neither decorative objects nor works of art. Their design should therefore be both neutral and restrained, to leave room for the user’s self-expression. --Dieter Rams

7 Days | GOOD DESIGN MAKES A PRODUCT UNDERSTANDABLE

GOOD DESIGN MAKES A PRODUCT UNDERSTANDABLE--
It clarifies the product’s structure. Better still, it can make the product talk. At best, it is self-explanatory --Dieter Rams

8 Days | GOOD DESIGN IS AESTHETIC

GOOD DESIGN IS AESTHETIC --
The aesthetic quality of a product is integral to its usefulness because products we use every day affect our person and our well-being. But only well-executed objects can be beautiful. --Dieter Rams

9 Days | GOOD DESIGN MAKES A PRODUCT USEFUL

GOOD DESIGN MAKES A PRODUCT USEFUL--
A product is bought to be used. It has to satisfy certain criteria, not only functional, but also psychological and aesthetic. Good design emphasises the usefulness of a product whilst disregarding anything that could possibly detract from it. --Dieter Rams

10 Days | GOOD DESIGN IS INNOVATIVE

We are extremely proud of all the hard work and dedication of the MySaver Team led by strategic designer, Thomas Lehman, who has dedicated himself to producing smart products that will simplify life. One of Thomas's favorite design geniuses is the renown Dieter Rams. This is why for the next 10 days this post will feature one of Mr. Rams ten principles of design. Enjoy.

GOOD DESIGN IS INNOVATIVE --
The possibilities for innovation are not, by any means, exhausted. Technological development is always offering new opportunities for innovative design. But innovative design always develops in tandem with innovative technology, and can never be an end in itself. --Dieter Rams

Pretty Pretty Princess Pink!

So,whose in the PINK?! Pre-order your "pink" MySaver today only on Kickstarter while this promo price lasts.

The word ‘studio’ is derives from ‘study’. Our object is not to know the answers before we do the work. It’s to know them after we do it.

911

It used to be a day in September, the 11th day to be exact, but will forever in our life time be 911, the day that redefined everything we knew as Americans.

How will you spend the day? The MySaver team would like to take time to say how grateful we are to honor the memory of those lost that day, and we pray God's blessings on those who survived.

Tell someone you love them.

What's With The Countdown?!

Sorry to bore any of you who wanted to know everything there could be known about the little gadget of the decade and got the infamous countdown. Well. the countdown is our way of reminding ourselves that we only have an x amount of days on Kickstarter with the MySaver. Kickstarter was never meant to be our ecommerce site but it has been a great venue for meeting new people who are all interested in protecting, preserving, and/or personalizing their Apple docking cables.

We have enjoyed all of the accolades, and kudos these past 6 weeks but we definitely are looking forward to the end of our time on Kickstarter with the MySaver. The brand is taking great shape and we eagerly await to get our head designer, Thomas to China to look over the production of the MySaver. We have seen this little gadget go from idea to design to solution for an ugly problem, and now just eager to get them into our Backers hands.

If you haven't yet taken advantage of the Kickstarter prices before the MySaver hits the mass market, please do hit us up on http://kck.st/MySaver and pre-order yours. Got stocking stuffer? This would make a great holiday gift for your Apple lovers.

So why the countdown? Basically because we are humbled by the support from all over the world and we hope the quotes have been the inspiration they were meant to be.

Thanks
Regina
and the MySaver Team

A customer is the most important visitor on our premises.
He is not dependent on us. We are dependent on him.
He is not an interruption of our work. He is the purpose of it.
He is not an outsider to our business. He is part of it.
We are not doing him a favour by serving him.
He is doing us a favour by giving us the opportunity to do so. --Mahatma Gandhi

Why we bring you the quote of the day? As designers and writers we believe there is more to marketing than the adsense. We believe in allowing people the opportunity to see and understand the depth of our character. The quotes are a mixture of who we are and what we believe. Plus they're fun.

If you have a quote to share, please post it. Thank you.

Pleaae Take A Moment to Remember a Hero

With 9/11/2011 right around the corner I'm sure we have seen something in the media about the beautiful World Trade Bldg being dedicated. It is breathtaking albeit doesn't bring back the lives lost on that day we do get to remember them with something awesome.



Also something awesome is The Hidden Heroes Project on Kickstarter. There are some projects that are just fish tanks on a desk but than there are others that matter. Please take a moment to look at this project and maybe even for a 9/11 tribute you might consider backing the project. It's not MySaver but it touching all on its own.

Thank you.
