      One of my all-time favorite projects. After several weeks of use, I'm in love with all three. I use the phone pocket in my car to keep my phone safe as I drive around. I only wish the diFeltro logo was upside-down from how it is now on the leather. I keep it off to the side and snapped so the iPhone slides in/out. I also wish the bag was about 3" taller, so it would fit my MacBook Air. It'd be the ultimate slim-case!

      Overall, amazing product, quality, and value. I'm in love.

      I would like to echo the sentiments of bchan84 and Eolake. Beautiful product using high quality materials. I received multiple questions/compliments the first time I took it out.

      Professionally run project with wonderful photos and video. I wish you all the best and look forward to future product releases.

      diFeltro uses Merino wool felt and vegetable-tanned leather, both 100% natural materials. Our products will last a long time with proper care.

      100% Merino Wool Felt Care Instructions

      Gently run a lint roller or naturally bristled garment brush over the felt, cleaning off any accumulated dust. When not in use, please store in its protective bag.

      To spot clean, please only use a small amount of wool detergent with water no warmer than 30°C/86°F. After cleaning, always lay flat to dry.

      100% Vegetable Tanned Leather Care Instructions

      Vegetable-tanned leather is tanned using natural tannins extracted from chestnut, quebracho, mimosa, and tara trees and contains no dyes. It is a slow process and is considered an art. This leather will become non uniform over time, but this is part of its charm. We suggest letting your leather age handsomely and naturally.

      However, if you would like to keep a more uniform look, place a small amount of unscented glycerin soap bar or facial cleansing soap on a damp cloth to clean stains, these both contain moisturizing agents such as mineral oil and lanolin. For a more commercial option, feel free to use leather cleaner.

      Just received my Heather Grey bag and pouch today. They are very well-made, pleasantly light and lovely to touch. The space had me worried for a while, glad to know that it's there by design. One question though; how should we go about cleaning the bag and pouch? Also, do you have any maintainence tips for the wool felt and leather? Thank you! :)

      I've made a mini-review on eReaderJoy.com:

      ... with a nice, big photo of my products.

      Thanks. It seemed incongruous, but I figured it would be something like what you say.

      What other products are you planning for this year?

      The bag is made from a single cut of felt, hand sewn, and put together in an unconventional method, this is what makes the bag unique. We wanted to have some point on the bag where we could demonstrate the folding aspect of the design. The two inches of space displays how the felt folds in on itself and allows easier access to the inside pocket, providing more flexibility and ease of use.

      I got my belt, pouch, and bag today. They are excellent, thank you. Very aesthetic.

      Small question: the stitching on the front of the bag stops two inches from the top. In the video I can briefly see a bag that has the same feature, so it's apparently not a production flaw. So I wonder why it is so?

      What luck that the iPad 3 is the same size as the iPad 2, eh!?

      No update for nearly a month. Could you please say where this is at?

      Creator Eolake on February 27, 2012

      Will we get an email when the items ship?
      (And can you say about when that'll be?)

      Creator Colleen Beckett on January 18, 2012

      The diFeltro Fold has 2 inside pockets, the pocket in the back fits the iPad snuggly and a slightly longer and wider pocket in the center, fits the Apple keyboard or other items you may want to carry.

      Creator Eolake on January 18, 2012

      By the way, I don't want to sound like Linus The Doubter, but are you sure the Apple keyboard fits? In the video, the iPad seems to fit exactly, and the keyboard is over an inch longer...

      Thanks, Colleen.
      (I suggest larger images of the products/colors, it would make it easier to choose. The image one gets when clicking is hardly larger than the embedded image.)

      I've not seen leather/felt products before, but it's interesting, I look forward to getting mine. (I've selected all three products, and I think I'll go for the dark grey. Seems the more masculine of them. :-)

      Thank you for your color input! While we may introduce new colors in the future, we've carefully selected 4 classic color combinations for this production run. Our first production run is set up to accommodate Heather Grey, London Smoke, Black Night, and Fashion Fuschia.

      Looks really nice.

      I have trouble deciding between the three greyscale variants. How about making a light grey one with darker grey or black leather instead of tan?

      Agree 100%. Classy too. I love it!

      I love brilliant design like this. Best of luck! I can't wait to get mine.
