Happy to answer any questions people have on the kit, our product page seems to be hiding the description so here are some more details.
We did the math and it costs over $45 to order all those bits and pieces Google suggested, and that doesn't even include shipping from 4 different vendors.
We are gathering all the pieces you will need to assemble your own Google cardboard VR goggle (minus the smartphone). We precut the cardboard and you should be able to assemble all the pieces in under 5 minutes. Easy Peezy. Get cracking and place your order.
Here is what comes in your kit..
- Precut cardboard
- Lenses
- Magnet
- Velcro
- Rubberband
- upgrade for optional NFC tag (not included in base kit)
As it stands right now, it seems to be highly misleading. If I hadn't read your comment I could be misled to believe that you are selling the 'Official' version for the following reasons:
1- Using Google's own images.
2- Nothing indicating that it isn't official.
It is at worse maliciously misleading, at best misguided. You should correct that.
All of that copy in my comment is suppose to be displayed on the product page but Shopify seems to be broken at the moment. We are not trying to mislead anyone.
Google released all the drawings and is encouraging people to build these, we just want to help make that easier.
Wow, really glad I read the comments before I put in my credit card info. Four to six weeks, you must be out of your mind. If you don't get that one the site fast you're going to have a whole lot of angry people on your hands.
I can appreciate the eagerness to get everything instantly. However I hope you can appreciate that physically cutting and shipping lots of stuff that was only announced to the world 12 hours ago takes time. I wish hardware was as easy as pushing something to Git hub but unfortunatly it is not.
You are always welcome to go order the parts and cut the cardboard yourself.
>Sorry, in the age of near-immediate gratification from Amazon, up to 42 days until I see the product I paid for is a huge turn off.
If you frequently find yourself angry that you can't buy a new package Amazon-style less than 12 hours from its announcement to the general public, I would suggest you seek professional help as you might be able to improve your impulse control.
sorry we were just messing around with trying to fix the product description thing. Try going back to product page and adding to cart again and it should work.
