Thanks!
Yea, as I said in the post, I think it's drastically easier to start a hardware company now vs 10 years ago. And it's still pretty hard, ha! So I can just imagine what you went through.
Yep, the battery is "exposed" in that we don't have a cover over the battery. But each battery does have protection.
And you aren't the target market, yet! Making cases for just iPhone made things easier, but we are hoping to expand to the most popular Android phones.

You really need to add an email signup for people interested in CoBattery for Android. At least by the time you write the next part of your blog post.
My first company did hardware, and it was kind of an awful experience, and I swore to never do another hardware company. I got burned out from sourcing things, dealing with revisions, and working with manufacturers through the language barrier. But, things look so much nicer ~12 years later, and there are several products I wish existed that I think would have a solid niche market. But, it's still pretty intimidating.
Also, I love the connector. The case is a bit weird, though, with seemingly exposed battery? But, I'm not the target market, anyway (I have an Android device).
