At $89 bucks it ain't exactly cheap, but at least 965 people don't care. That's the amount of folks who pledged for one on Kickstarter. At press time the campaign had attracted $96,863 towards a $50,000 goal, with 37 days left to pledge.

Ingenious but a little expensive for a few injection molded parts, even taking into consideration R&D and tooling ?
