So if I sew two pieces of felt around my iPod, can I sell it for grossly inflated prices?

As long as you put a silhouette of the product dancing in front of colorful backgrounds in a commercial that will be seen by many, you can sell it at any price.

Ayala-
actually it looks like a single piece of felt that is sewn at the seam… yikes. unless this is handmade and proceeds are going to tsunami victims, that may be a bit steep for felt. And the seam should be more integrated… it should seem seamless- no pun intended.

Some kids make money off lemonade stands… Some buy craft felt, borrow their mom’s sowing machine and charge $10 a pop. Ouch.

The sleeve from Burning Love detailed a few days ago seemed much nicer, and cheaper at about $15 US.

I find it humorous- all the expectations people have for the most trivial things.
“Well it won’t protect my ipod from a nuclear explosion, so I won’t buy it!”
Come on folks- really. Its felt. Its a color swatch to add to a shuffle. Thats it. Its clearly more style than function, thats what the ipod is all about to begin with. And I’d imagine the cost of these felt cases reflects the volume of sales; they’re not selling wal-mart volume… yet.
BTW, felt can be tougher than you think… especially if its lined and reinforced.
