Just found out about the minimal phone with the launch of the kickstarter. I was immediately interested in it because of my doom scrolling and high daily screen time so I placed an order on the kickstarter to get in on one of the earlier price tiers

At first I thought the appeal of the phone was that it helps limit phone usage through a combination of hardware and software implementations but I’m having a hard time finding information on how actually using the phone works.

I see that the last gen had an e-ink screen and I definitely see how that would help end the dopamine loop but the new gen has a really nice oled display and I’m having a hard time understanding how it will help limit screen time if it’s essentially an android phone with full functionality.

What differentiates it from just installing some screen time limiting apps on my iPhone 17 pro?

Thanks in advanced for any info! Hoping to keep my order

I see carry ons are on sale for Memorial Day. Do their other products, specifically slings usually go on a sale too? Was holding off buying some slings until this sale but doesn’t look like they are on sale.

Thanks!

Just ordered the Roller Pro during the current sale and I’m curious how the newer/current production models are holding up so I can cancel asap if there are issues.

For those who have received one recently, have the earlier issues been addressed? Specifically wondering about any zipper problems (mostly concerned about this one), creaking, handle/wheel noise, or general durability quirks after some real use.

Would love to hear from people who have traveled with it, especially on international trips or rougher streets/cobblestones.
