One time swap out

We'll be offering a one-time optional swap out for Explorers who purchased their device before October 28, 2013. The Explorer Program is designed for people who want to shape the future of Glass. We are always improving the software based on Explorers’ feedback, and this time, we’ve made some improvements to the hardware. We want everyone to take advantage of them by offering this one-time swap out.

To swap your device for the new hotness, keep your eye on your email inbox. We'll email you with detailed instructions on how to sign up and ship your old device to us.
