I can see the usefulness of being able to hold your mock-up in your hand, but doesn't the WhitePad rotate when you try to draw on it? Would be nice to have a very thin non-slip pad on the back of it. It also would be very nice to be able to draw, but that has nothing to do with your product.

#22I always find it very hard to draw, and erase, tiny details on whiteboards. It's like the pen has to be drawn in a certain direction and you can't overlap lines without smudging them. Also the pens are always very thick. I can't imagine drawing with a whiteboard pen on something so small.

#24i dont get it - its a square peice of plastic? why couldnt you just cut one for yourself at home? why fund a campaign and wait weeks?...im totally confused.
This is the type of thing that totally confuses you? People pay to offload a little work all the time. Do you whittle your own toothpicks? That's just a piece of wood. Do you make your own floss? That's just waxed thread. I thought it was a little silly at first but by the end of the video I'd figure for a couple bucks it might be cool. One thing I wasn't however was left totally confused.
