Version 1 images.

I've drawn out some detail images of the Glass end of the Hard-core Glass Cable and of the silicone sleeve that will go over the Glass battery.


Version 1 - Glass end of the Hard-core Glass Cable

Version 1 - Silicone cable support

I am currently working on version 2 of the cable. Since talking with a few people about it, I think I will be taking the cable straight up the side of the Glass then turning towards the back. The design change will allow for a tighter fit against Glass and should help to avoid strain on the micro-usb.

The silicone sleeve will remain pretty much the way it is. I may reduce the size, but it is pretty small as it is.

I'll be specifying the smallest diameter cable I can get so we can keep it nice and flexible and make it as light as possible.

I'm also going to be making the USB-A end of the cable as compact as I can as to avoid the same strain issues on your battery pack. I might even make it a right angle cable on parallel with the width of the USB-A plug.

Let me know what you think.

Launch of the campaign.

The Kickstarter Campaign has been launched.

The official Kickstarter page can be found here:
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1317076092/hard-core-glass-explorer-cable
I have also created a Google+ page for the Hard-core Glass Cable which I will be updating at the same time I update this site and the Kickstarter project page.
I will be leaving the posts here closed for discussion but will have the Google+ page open for comments.
I'd like to thank everyone who has helped me get to this point and will be reaching out to each of you individually over the next little while to thank you personally.
