How It Works

The entire product development lasts through 3 simple stages.

• Stage 1 is a wide open gathering of ideas and creativity.
• Stage 2 is final details and a decision about the gathered ideas.
• Stage 3 is presentation of the final product and the users decision on whether they will buy it.
• Stage 4 -Delivery!

Stage 1 Let your creative muse loose by suggesting ideas regarding the materials, style, and the special features of your vision of the ultimate tablet bag design. You can participate as often as you wish with your new percolating ideas. 

At this stage the ideas are discussed by the community and by the Shanzai Studios curators to determine the practical viability, popularity and issues regarding the ideas contributed. This period of time  for stage 1 is typically 3 weeks. At the end of Stage 1 contributors are then notified of the projects move to Stage 2.

Stage 2 Fine tuning the product's minute details your keen eye for quality and trends means the ideas from Stage 1 will start to take shape. You make the tough final decisions and fine tuning choices that need to be made by the community regarding the potential finished product. Weed out the weak ideas from the most popular and practical design concepts that you vote forward for final selection. This period of time is approximately 2 weeks and requires no commitment on the part of contributors. At this point contributors are then notified of the move to Stage 3.



Stage 3 begins with the exciting unveiling of the final product that will go into real world production and its announcement! Depending on the crowd dynamic of Stage 1 and 2 there may actually be more than one final product.  At this stage contributors can decide whether they would like to pre-order the final product(s) (at a hefty discount in reward for your contribution) for themselves with the option to refer it to others for even more rewards.
