Got my MBP foofbag - pics/review

I have an incase sleeve for my MBP, and it's excellent. However, I came across the foof site and really started digging the design. I decided to get a "fun" sleeve for my MBP, something to personalize it a bit more than the 1,000 incase and plain black sleeves you see everywhere.

It took about 12 days total from order date to arrival, shipped from Australia to Boston using the cheapest method. I am pretty happy with the delivery time. Packaging was good too - it came in a plastic sleeve inside of a bubble mailer. It arrived in perfect condition.

I'm happy I ordered it. It is a bit bulkier than my incase sleeve, because the inside is lined with sherpa fleece. However, the style factor is worth it in my opinion. It is nicely designed and fits the MBP very well. There is no "give" space, except for a tiny bit at the top so the edge of your MBP is not exposed. I didn't find nearly enough pictures of different foofbags around before I ordered, so I thought I would do my part. Without further ado, the pictures.

Wow that is one ugly bag!
I mean, I get that it is functional to a point, but the bag is ugly! (personal opinion so chillax).
The thing I do not like is that it looks like the laptop can just slip right out. That and the added girth is what turns me off from these bags.

Nice pics though.

Personal preferences aside, it's not loose at all. It definitely won't slip out.

Can you carry it under arm and not have to clench it with a fair amount of force? Lamb's wool (or something that looks that way) plus aluminum = slippage.

Yeah, I can. Like I said originally, there's no give, you have to push it in to put the sleeve on.

That's well......, something else. Glad you like it and that's the important thing. I would never use it since I broke the heal on one of the shoes that would match.

Think different.

Ha, ha. I am partial to purple. I'm surprised at the reaction, though. I definitely knew it was kind of girly, but I figured there'd be some people open to the unique style. Less of a chance someone else will have the same one, though.

Haha there is a reason why those 'simplistic and boring' incase sleeves sell so well. Simplicity is sexy, and bliss.

I wasn't dissing them, I own one and love it. But they are a bit monotonous after everyone in the class/conference room/whatever pulls out the same sleeve.

And how do you really feel??

As much as I don't think it's anything I'd use, she's happy with it and that's the important thing. Can't we be a bit polite?

Politeness on the internet is an oxymoron.

But I appreciate the sentiment.

It's cool though, I'm a big girl and I honestly don't mind if others don't like it. To each his own. I didn't post it for validation, it was just so other people could have a look in case they were interested in a foofbag, and the "purple people eater" on in particular.

To all the comedians - keep your day jobs, seriously.
