Miracles Happen on IndieGoGo for Orobis

We’re thrilled to be able to announce two miracles that have happened for us in the past week. Thanks to a recent report by c|net, we raised over $2,500 in just two days, and were introduced to a new strategic partner, blowing our goal of $25,000 out of the water. Thanks to our new partner (who wishes to remain anonymous), and the $6,000 we have been able to raise successfully on IndieGoGo, we have the absolute bare minimum amount of capital we need to produce the mold for the Orobis Transform.

We still need a small amount of capital to help us through our first production run, although we will be able to create the mold we need as of March 1, 2013. Please help to pull us through the home stretch with your generous support today! You can read the full details of this miracle on our Updates Page.

Support Us to Pull Through the Home Stretch!!

Regardless of whether or not our campaign is funded in full, we'll deliver the Orobis Transform cables to all of our supporters on IndieGoGo when we are able to successfully build the mold we need to put it into production.

A Special Offer from the Orobis Team & Factory

In Honor of the Year of the Snake, we’re thrilled to share some exciting news with you. Our factory has recently volunteered to supplement the cost of production of the Orobis Transform Cable. With the help of our factory, we are now able to offer 1,000 Orobis Transform Cables for $18 each.

Inspired by Hit Movie Transformers

Nowadays, nearly everything comes with a microUSB port. Any devoted Apple fan knows how inconvenient it can be to carry around multiple cables in your bag in order to charge your devices. The Orobis Transform has completely rethought how a cable should work to combine the new Apple Lightning connector for iPhone 5 and the iPad mini with the microUSB.

What had prompted the design from the very beginning was the dream of most of us to own a transformer. The Orobis Transform hence looks merely to serve as a simple iPhone cable on an ordinary day, but once microUSB is needed, it's high time you watched it magically transforming!

A Disruptive Innovation

In order to make a transformer-like gadget, we have made a very special change to the microUSB connector that breaks the conventions of standard microUSB design. This design innovation creates a connector the likes of which have never been seen before, all while keeping the device sleek and compact.

It's really special, right? After pouring all of our blood and sweat into perfecting the design, filing for the patent, sourcing the materials, and developing the prototype, we found that the mold we need in order to create this new type of connector is a bit on the expensive side.

We’re here in asking for your help in funding the creation of this new mold so we can bring our product to market.

A Creative Product to Reduce Clutter

- Standard 1m Length

The Orobis Transform is a creative product – and its half open microUSB, transforming idea, and 180 degree fully flat-folding functionality are what make it so special. We designed our product with a spirit of renewal and re-creation, modeling its spirit on its namesake the “Ouroboros.”
