[Nexus 5 Accessories] Hank-Rearden:
Hey everyone,

It's been quite a long time since I've been on here. For those that don't know, I'm the guy that developed the Air Dock back at the first part of 2014.

First of all I'd like to say thanks to everyone that has believed in the product enough to get the original Indiegogo campaign funded. Thanks also to everyone that has bought one on our website since the campaign ended. It really means a lot to me personally that so many people backed me and my product.

We have gotten quite a bit of traffic from this post here on XDA so I figured it would be a good place to come to get some people who would be willing to do some testing on version 2.0 of the Air Dock.

The first version of the Air Dock worked quite good, especially when used with a few specific phones. It had a few small bugs, but overall it was a successful product. I'm quite proud of it personally. It represents an awful lot of work on my part. I hope that many of you have enjoyed the convenience or your Air Dock as much as I like mine.

I have been working lately on a new version that corrects the little bugs, and will allow the Air Dock to work with many more phones. I think that the overall user experience will be quite a bit better with this new version.

I have already prototyped this version, and have done some initial testing. Things are looking good. At this point I would like to get a handful of these docks out there being used everyday by people with all sorts of different phones. I am determined to do a lot of testing so that when we release Air Dock 2.0 it has the fewest bugs possible. My immediate family, and friends aren't enough people to do what I consider thorough testing.

That's the reason for this post. I am willing to offer a limited number of these second version Air Dock prototypes right now to people that are willing to use them, report back to me regularly about their experience, and make (reasonable) recommendations for version 2. I can't give away a ton of these things, and I don't know of any real fair way to give everyone a chance at getting one that wants one, so I am just going to go with first come first served.

I've setup a Google form where you can go to request a prototype.

The requirements are pretty simple. They are:

-You need to own a phone that has Qi wireless charging capabilities that you currently use.

-You need to have purchased an Air Dock in the past, and hopefully still be using it. (I'll use your email address to verify this)

-You need to live in the USA, as shipping out of the country is pricey.

-You need to use the dock regularly, and be willing to email me once a week with feedback on the prototype until we release this version officially. (hopefully only a couple months from now)

I'll be giving a maximum of 3 docks out to each different model of phone that supports Qi wireless charging. With a maximum of 30 Air Docks being given away. It will depend on how many people respond, and how many different models of phones there are to test with.

I am guessing I'll start shipping out these test units within about a week, but some may take a little longer. I might send them out in waves, as I get feedback from the first ones I send out.
