Hi, Peter,
Thanks for taking the time to respond to my email. I understand that it is impossible to make a holder for every phone that gets released on the market, but I think that once this phone is more widely available, there will be sufficient demand for the holder. In my previous correspondence with Johan and based on his postings in my thread, I gathered that he would be receptive to developing a holder upon being able to receive the device. I never received any indication from him that it would be an impossibility to develop a mount for the OnePlus One; I felt that he expressed cautious optimism. I told him that I would be happy to provide him an invite as soon as I got one.
On a side note, I should think he would receive an invite directly from OnePlus soon, based on his registration date and the rate at which they are rolling out invites. However, these invites are only good for 24-hours, and as he is on vacation right now, I'm guessing he'll miss it. At any rate, I should be receiving my invites to share next week, and those will be good for a slightly longer period, so I should be able to share one with Johan if he is still interested when he returns.
Over 75% of the nearly 100 people who voted in my poll as to whether they would like to purchase a ProClip said they would be interested. That seems like a pretty large percentage to me. If I may ask, how many holders would you need to expect to sell in order to consider developing one for the OnePlus One? This phone is experiencing significant buzz in the Android and social media community, and once people start experiencing that it is easier to purchase, I think it could be beneficial to your company to work with OnePlus to promote your custom mounting solutions. Even something as simple as a Facebook/G+/Twitter posting that said, "Hey, check out these great car docks that are custom built for the OnePlus One" could drive significant traffic to your site, and hopefully a good percentage of those people would purchase something.
In my thread, I expressed how much I enjoyed using your ProClip products, and many other users have chimed in with similar experiences, with some even going so far to say, "The lack of a proclip custom mount is honestly the #1 reason I was hesitant to order my OnePlus One. I really hope an option is added sooner than later." Another user said "Hopefully proclip have an update when Johan returns, the requirement for a car dock is the only thing holding me back from buying the Oneplus One 64GB!" Yet another member said "I would definitely want a brodit carclip. I have used it for every Android phone I have owned so far and it just rocks. (And I have used it in different cars too).
@johanvanmierlo If I don't have a rock solid car dock I can't buy the phone
"
As you can see, you have some very satisfied and enthusiastic customers on the OnePlus forums, and, if they enjoy your products as much as I do, I think they (and I) would be more than willing to try to bring a broader awareness of your products to our fellow forum members by posting there and on other platforms as well. Please let me know what we can do to make a OnePlus One ProClip a reality.
I will take a look at your adjustable holder range, but for me (and I think for many others) a custom solution is the only satisfactory one. I have used ProClip holders for three different phones in my car, and having the ability to automatically slide the phone in and have it start charging is not something I can replicate with any other solution. Again, I appreciate your willingness to listen and take the time to respond, and I look forward to your response.
With gratitude,
Nicholas Murphy
