Foofpod experiences?

foofpods are photographed differently to foofbags, simply for the reason, you can easily hold a foofpod in your hand. Photographing AND holding a foofbag with a heavy MacBook inside is quite difficult to do
There is no intention on our behalf to trick people into thinking we have fleece inside a foofpod. We have numerous photographs and text all over our site indicating that foofpods have satin inner lining (as did our foofbags until recently).
If you check out the 'inner lining for foofpods' under 'about foofpods' section, you'll even find close up photos of the inner lining (i've uploaded them here).
We're in the process of phasing out white satin inner lining, and moving foofpods for the iPhone/Touch over to black satin instead.
hope that clears up any confusion or interpretation of intent.
Thanks for the response. The camera angles that you have for the 'Le Vert' are what I prefer. I like to be able to see different angles of a product before I buy it because a lot of case manufacturers make their cases look all great from one angle and then someone buys it and posts pictures on here and it looks like crap.
Why do fleece foofpods = bloody stumps?
I dont get that Bloody stumps as well
But yes, they do change their designs occasionally..

Any comments?
I just got mine today! After only 4 days! Amazing
This Foof is very very nice! Really protective, good looking and a nice fit.
GREAT!
Yikes, that sucks. Hopefully they just didn't update the site?
Which model did you order?
On a side note, I've been holding off ordering for a few days. The markets rebounding a bit and the dollar is making a meager comeback against the Aussie. I plan to make good use of that extra $0.34 i'll save
CRICKEY!
The deliverytime is depending on which case you chosse. I'd say that you ordered the black one with white inner, right? Some of the cases has a long waiting-list.
Can't you just write to them and say that you would like to cancel the order and ask them which one, they'll be able to ship right away?
I'd do that...

thanks for your suggestion. I'll take that on when i photograph more foofpods in the future. I try to strike a balance between keeping it simple and making it look good. We do vary the camera angles, but sometimes the amount of space on our website is a consideration.
Regarding 'bloody stumps'. If we used the much thicker sherpa fleece inner lining for the much smaller foofpod, the amount of physical exertion required to turn the fleece inner lining from (reverse) 'inside out' to (normal) 'inside in' (in the hand manufacturing process), would be extremely difficult. This 'reversal' all happens through a smallish hole in the seam before we finish off the final side stitching.
'Bloody stumps' is supposed to give one the impression that our fingers would drop off doing this feat on the sometimes thousands of foofpods we make every month.
probably best not to dwell on the gory details.

any delay is usually just a couple of days. Not much in the scheme of things.

um, 'yes' (occasionally) - we've introduced two new foofbags and one new foofpod fabric in the last 3 month period. We'll also be introducing a couple of super quality polyester Japanse Kimono Obi fabrics for foofpods soon.

we use to offer more (changing) variety but the amount of enquiries it generated from people wanting this and that (for products that no longer exist) created more confusion and annoyance for customers.
Running a small business efficiently means keeping stock levels low so that when Apple suddenly changes a device size, we don't have a plethora of fabrics and older size stock to get rid off. If we offered many more designs, our website would be collapse, our customers get overwelmed with choice, and the price would actually increase to cover the cost of holding greater amounts of stock.
Ordered my first foofbag which has since been shipped.
My only comments lie with the website usability. It's definitely not clear how to view products (and thus order) and the 4 column content layout does nothing but makes the site feel cramped.
You have stats setup, I'd seriously considers analyzing the stats and viewing traffic exit/bounce rates.
Love the products though.

Having both black and white 'doubles' stock costs, takes longer to sell stock, requires more storage etc.
We had both white and black for a couple of years, for white and black MacBooks. But now we use sherpa fleece inner lining, so the satin inner lining requirements have reduced somewhat. We are simplifying our range.
just came back on to say its been cleared up, hopefully it will arrive by Saturday
Also im going to be posting very detailed pictures because it seems like nobody else is
I've been doing the same thing with mine. Haha! I'm still waiting on the SwitchEasy Capsule Rebel but if it doesn't fit good, I'm going to spring for a foofpod. How do these fit for the iPhones? Pretty snug?
Or right side up depending on your perspective. LOL Just kidding. (slow day) I've heard good things about Foof cases and am considering one for myself.

He's never ordered a vaja case I take it. On a side note, is there a way to order one with holes on the bottom for the speaker?

Just ordered the black one. These look real nice, and I hate to use a case on my iPhone when in use. I figure this will be perfect for putting my iPhone in when I want to toss it into my bag, and then I can just remove it from the foofpod in order to use it. Good stuff!
Does anyone know what carrier foof shop uses to mail their packages...I'm trying to figure out how to track my package.
My tracking number is of the form: LCXXXXXXXXAU
Thanks!

Just received my foofpod the other day and i love it so far. Fabric is real nice and it's a great sleeve for the iphone...too bad the day after i received it i dropped my iphone without the sleeve on. Oh well, bound to happen. I won't make the same mistake of dropping it without it again!
