Over 12,500 people backed Elevation Labs' iPhone Dock through Kickstarter in February, only to have received the 30-pin-equipped device just days before Apple made it obsolete with the new Lightning connector.

Head over to Wired to see how three individuals turned a seemingly useless Kickstarter investment into a future-proof device, and how they did so without any help from the dock's manufacturer.
