What is the inner lining?
Sherpa fleece, which is made from acrylic and polyester, but feels and looks like a sheeps fleece.
It's bonded to faux suede (polyester) and a 3mm layer of foam (non compressing).
I have questions about fluff and pilling with sherpa - will it scratch, is it thick enough?
No, it's plush and high quality. It won't pill, it won't shred and definitely will not scratch.
Is there a customer review?
There is one with loads of photographs on the MacRumors forum;
Click here.
We converted it to a PDF so you can download it. It's un-edited. (used with permission
from the forum poster).
Will my MacBook slip out?
Your MacBook should not slip out on it's own, unless you happen to point
the foofbag opening to the ground and loosen your grip and start to
shake it out. It's not the sort of thing you should be doing anyway, as
unibody MacBooks are pretty slippery (with or without a protective sleeve).
Didn't you have a satin lining?
We did, but we no longer offer this due to manufacturing
problems, inferior protection and lack of snugness.
What are the pros of a foofbag?
A foofbag is great for indoor use (home, office, conference, hotel, library, studio, university etc)
and for inside a backpack or tote bag when traveling. It also works well for the occasional
journey from the car to the cafe. It's quick and easy to remove your MacBook.
Removal time of MacBook:
foofbag open sleeve - 1 sec
neoprene zipper sleeve - 4 sec
Insertion time of MacBook:
foofbag open sleeve - 4 sec
neoprene zipper sleeve - 10 sec
A foofbag excels when used with a backpack (with the opening facing up). You can just pull the MacBook
or iPad out and leave the foofbag inside the backpack. Useful if you have to do security checks at airports, or
if you frequently need to whip your MacBook or iPad out to check your emails when traveling.
What level of protection does a foofbag offer?
If level 0 is no protection, and level 10 is a pelican flightcase, then the foofbag would
rate level 2 or 3. It is designed for use inside another case or bag. It is for protection against dust and scratches and for providing your MacBook or iPad
with a bit of style. A foofbag will not protect your MacBook or iPad from major bumps, drops or (very) rough handling.
Can I have an 12"/14" iBook or 12" Powerbook!
Unfortuantely, we no longer make these size foofbags.
Can I request a custom PC size?
No, we cannot guarantee snugness if we don't have the PC laptop to test
the fit. The end result is not satisfying for you or us.
Can I request a different fabric?
Not really. If it is not on the website, it means either;
the fabric is no longer available or is in limited supply, or
is not suitable for foofbags or is too expensive to make for laptop sizes.
Can you send me the material so i can make my own foofbag?
A foofbag is not a foofbag unless we make it ourselves :)
Can you add pockets, straps, zippers, velcro, clips or a flap?
No, a foofbag is a protective sleeve. We know that most people
have their backpack or case sorted out for their transportation needs. Most people
dislike zippers and velcro, as they can scratch, wear out, break or lose grip. We've elected
to avoid complexity by offering simplicity and beauty.
I have put larger feet on my laptop, is this a problem?
Low profile feet are usually ok. Up to 5mm should be no major problem. Be gentle until you get the hang of it.
Please do not ask us if your PC laptop will fit, as we have
no real way of knowing.
We do not make custom fit foofbags for PC laptops, as without an actual
laptop to test, we cannot make any guarrantee of a snug fit. There are
variables like protrusions, sharp edges, laptop feet and surface adhesion
properties that are all contributing factors to snugness.
"i've been looking for
something as simple and
elegant as your foofbag
for about 10 years"
"i LOVE my foofbag and
in the short time I've been
using it, I've already gotten
dozens of compliments"
"Just wanted to let you know that
I have received my fantastic Foofbag!
What a great piece of kit, so nice to be
able to get something so different to
all the readily available Macbook cases.
Your service was exceptional, ordering to
receiving it was a matter of days, all the way from Oz!"
"Just wanted to let you know that
I love love LOVE my foof. It's my
favourite thing in the world right now...
which considering I also have a new
macbook air is quite impressive!"
"You've really outdone yourself with this bag. It's just gorgeous.
Love the lining too. I'm going to the Apple Store tomorrow, once
this gets seen, bet I get mugged..."
"i received my foofbag today and i'll have to say i carry my ibook around with such pride now
(i used to just carry it wrapped in a sweater, ha!) ..it is well worth the money spent"
"far sexier than I could of imagined. As a person who buys an iPod each time a new
one is released and laptops faster than most people can fill up a Hard Drive.
I just wanted to let you know that i'll be back.
"my foofbag is really exceptional. Very well built and fits my need exactly. It's also
comforting to know that this product wasn't made by an underpaid Chinese worker..."
"I'm glad to have found your shop, there are many many sleeve makers out
there, but none I liked as much as yours"
"..not only does it offer vital protection for my MacBook, but it also looks
great (neoprene sleeves get pretty tired after the umpteenth company offers them)"
"..it's wonderful and has already traveled around the world,
guaranteed to delight all security officials.."
thanks again, you truly make a top notch quality product, it's appreciated"
What is the inner lining?
Sherpa fleece, which is made from acrylic and polyester, but feels and looks like a sheeps fleece.
It's bonded to faux suede (polyester) and a 3mm layer of foam (non compressing).
I have questions about fluff and pilling with sherpa - will it scratch, is it thick enough?
No, it's plush and high quality. It won't pill, it won't shred and definitely will not scratch.
Is the foofpod one-size-fits-all?
Yes. We've made things simpler. Apple's devices have been getting thinner
and becoming similar in dimensions, so we're now doing the same. The sherpa fleece
is very snug, but has plenty of latitude to accommodate subtle variations in
device size.
How snug is the fit?
The sherpa fleece foofpod is very snug. I have
been demo-ing throwing my iPhone around in a
sherpa fleece foofpod. Not a care in the world. Perhaps
i've lost the plot..
Will a foofpod stretch?
Not if you use it with the same device, ie: an iPhone.
If however, you put a thicker iPod Classic inside, it may
stretch a little, making it slightly less snug if you use
it again for a thinner iPhone. Clothes stretch too :)
Can i use a foofpod with another silicone or rubber skin product?
Let's just say foofpod is designed for use with a naked iPhone or iPod.
We cannot make any suggestions as to whether a foofpod will work with
any additional protective product that we have not seen. Choose one.
How long will a foofpod last for?
Depends on your handling. Here is a quote from a customer:
"I purchased one over five years ago for a 40GB iPod and I've used
it almost daily. Aside from it being a little grubby, it's as good as new"
Is there a customer review?

Didn't you have a satin lining?
We did, but we no longer offer this due to manufacturing
problems, inferior protection and lack of snugness.
If you really still want black satin inner lining, email us,
we have a small amount remaining, in very limited choices.
What level of protection does a foofpod offer?
Hard to say. I've dropped my iPod many times whilst it is in a foofpod (on concrete, on carpet, on wood, on vinyl floor and on a grassy lawn).
On all occassions, the iPod has been fine. A foofpod will help keep your iPod safer from scratches and other sharp objects in your pocket
or bag and will handle the occasional bump. That's all we can really say...
What's a cm?
1cm = 0.39"
What is 1G/2G/3G etc?
We refer to the iPod via generation (version), as follows:
1G = 1st Generation
2G = 2nd Generation
3G = 4th Generation
4G = 4th Generation
5G = 5th Generation
The storage capacity of an iPod is referred to in "gb" (gigabytes)
For example: 2G does not mean 2gb! (it means 2nd Generation).
What type of iPod do i have?
Click here to become enlightened in revisionist apple tech history.
Will my device "X" fit a foofpod?
If you have another device with rounded edges and similar dimensions (preferably smaller)
to the supported list above, then that might fit OK.
If your device is 1cm smaller in width, but 1cm thicker in depth,
the snugness factor "should" be the same. If it's 0.5cm thinner,
but 0.5cm wider, then that "could" work too.
We make NO guarantee of fit for anything outside of the list above. We don't have enough time to keep abrest of the
incremental mm changes of every revision of every product out on the market.
Can I have a foofpod for a iPod Nano?
No, sorry - we currently no longer support this size device.
Can I have a foofpod for a Nintendo DS Lite?
No, sorry - we currently no longer support this size device.
Can I have a foofpod for a treo?
No, sorry - we currently no longer support this size device.
Can I have a foofpod in XYZ"?
No. You can try a close match to the supported items list above, but
we haven't seen your device, so don't listen to us, we have no idea.
A foofbag is a protective MacBook sleeve or
MacBook cover or MacBook soft case.
A foofpod is an iPhone or iPod cover, pouch, sleeve or soft case; useful
for other similar sized gadgets like a treo...
"they leave no scratches and they are stylish too.
great for people who like to enjoy their original iPods design and also keep their iPod protected."
i LOVE my Foofpod! The service, quality and delivery has easily exceeded my expectations!
I am so happy, I can just Foof! I will definitely be back for more.
"...thanks again, for making the only decent iPod case on the web.
If anyone thinks one of those silicon skin things is going anywhere near my ipod, they can think again!!"
"They fit snug over my iPod, no need to hide it behind some rubbery lint magnet silicon rubber case."
"The foofs are wonderful and very tactile, just like the iPod, so it is always
a perfect match. Silicone just isn't right"
"I've had my original foofpod for 3 or more years (my
iPod just died) and have always really liked it"
"I ordered a foofpod about two years ago and it still looks like new. Just recently, I ordered a
foofpod for my iPhone and since then my new gadget looks even better in its stylish wear!
Even to the point that I had to order the same one for a friend of mine"
"I wanted to say how great the experience was in dealing with Foof..
From my initial enquiry, through the ordering process, order status and
receiving the sleeve - the whole process has been great!"
"Thank you very much again for the speedy responses and helpfulness - A breath
of fresh air for the internet shopping world!"
"your service has been absolutely fantastic and the products look even nicer than on your site..."
"I'd like to say thanks for answering my questions so quickly! I've never had such good customer support before"
"you guys are awesome for bringing some hand-made quality goodness back to life!"
"I bought a matching powerbook and ipod bag almost two years ago now,
and they have outlasted both the ipod and powerbook they protected.
Thanks for the amazing bags"
"it's basically perfect right out of the box. I also feel the bags are sufficiently thick to be able to carefully place the laptop in a school backpack between
textbooks without having to worry about it"
"I've been on the lookout for a good laptop case for my new 13" MacBook forever, but it's surprisingly hard--too big, too flimsy, too ugly, too lumpy... I ended up ordering and returning a whole bunch, but finally, I've found my match - foofshop"
"They're a big step up from the common neoprene and nylon sleeves made by the established manufacturers, and happily, they aren't that much more expensive...."
"Handmade, yet with no imperfections to indicate this fact. Good seams and construction throughout"
"The FoofPod is clearly made from quality materials and provides full protection from the elements. Those looking for something out of the ordinary will not be disappointed. The FoofPod scores big on style points..."
(printed in Australian Macworld - December 2006)
"The range of materials and sizes is incredible.."
"The bags are handmade in Australia with quality and expertise that no other small company could match that I know of. Shipping was extremely fast even from Australia to the states, and the customer service response time was excellent, and on this note, I could not have chosen a better case manufacturer"
"...there's no reason not to love these cases with their playful designs."
(US Macworld - Apr 2005)
"If you want to live dangerously (and look cool doing it)..
Fabric sleeves that offer more padding and a sturdier build than iPod socks"
(neowin - Aug 2005)
"Foof meet the key requisite for making iPod accessories: keeping the style factor high.
They stop scratches and give protection at a reasonable price.
"We really enjoyed this product. Plush, colorful and inexpensive if compared with other cases on the market.
Fun to use and show and most important, it protects your iPod."
