I got the “Parallel Lines Blue” design for my iPod and it has protected it really well - not a scratch so far and it’s so easy to slip in and out for docking etc. (but not so easy that it falls out!) Highly recommended!

You guys are all smokin—these things are perfect, plus they look nice. I wanted to order some last time, but they sold out—so I’m glad they’re available again because I just bought one!
I prefer these cases to skins and other hard cases because they don’t scratch, plus they’re compatible with ALL iPods. I’ve owned 2 3g’s and now going on 2 4g’s, and I can still use the same case.
Thanks for making such a wonderful product.

In case you thought they were just for girls, well dudes (& dudettes), have you seen the man-style fabrics of tweed and typhoon braille. Have a look around.
We do some of them for iBooks and Powerbook as well

THIS IS A GREAT PRODUCT, 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.
***A foofpod and JAVO Screen Protector are the perfect combination.***

Those things are rockin’. I dig the Herringbone. I use a Timbuk2 case now though, which is essentially the same thing, but with a belt loop, and a velcro cover… They don’t come in Herringbone though!

hello Jurly,
there is no USA reseller (yet). foofpods are sold exclusively online at present. We are organising international distribution in UK & Eire and Also Australia, Switzerland, Singapore and USA. This is a while away yet.
If you want a foofpod cheap, just order and we’ll ship by air parcel post. EMS (express courier) is only an option for larger orders that make it more worth while.
Enjoy - dirtymouse & foof

These things are hot. Now saying their girly is saying im not to manly to buy somthing pretty and soft. I cant wait to get one but im waiting so they have more powerbook sleezes because i want to get a matching foofpod and bag.
PSI find the whole shipping thing a bit confusing on the website. How do i just get the cheapest shipping and is there any downfalls for getting the cheapest. Im not sure about the whole insurance ect.

When you order, shipping is calculated on checkout. The cost is $7.50 USD per order.
If your order is over $52 USD in value, shipping is calculated at $11.50 USD per order.
If you prefer not to have your order dispatched by uninsured Air Parcel Post, there is an easy option to upgrade to EMS courier at time of order, or at order confirmation time. This also provides insurance for order over $52 USD.
We’ve had many orders from people in the states, and none have gone missing so far..
