manilamac / AirMail = SHIPPING ! :)

[nintendude]

never mind above post.

I guess first come last served

Still waiting for my email....

Ben

EDIT:

Just saw an update on their site, they are selling it now for a $10 more and it ships in 1-2 days. I wonder if I should cancel and reorder? I want my case

EDIT2:

Got an email response, thanks Claire.

Hi Ben,

Thanks for your order, and for writing us.

We've had -- as you may have heard -- some complications in figuring 
out both the manufacturing and shipping 
ends of this brand-new business. We're extremely sorry for the delays, 
but this time has been crucial for us to 
get everything working. 

We are now BACK in stock and actively shipping orders in the order that 
they were received. As soon as yours 
goes out, you'll get an email. All our International orders are going out 
today and tomorrow, so you should 
receive confirmation and tracking info at whichever email address 
you use for PayPal stuff very soon. 

Thanks so much for your order, and we hope you love your AirMail 
as much as we do!

Love,
Claire & Jona

Sorry if someone has already mentioned this, but have you guys had a look at this leather envelope.

http://www.civilianlab.com/

I use the incase macbook case which is a tad big, but does the job.

Very nice leather version. I was also wondering if anyone had gotten one...
I read a review: http://crave.cnet.com/8301-1_105-9897492-1.html
when I was looking for a sleeve.

I browed the civilianlab.com website and found another MacBook case - the Radiator - anyone has one? It seems it's only for the 13"??

I have seen it on the web also, but it seems it ships from April only. And to my taste, the AirMail fits better.

Ben

p.s. I saw the Radiator too, that is more like a high-tech case you are not supposed to remove your laptop from. But that is only for the MB, and not MBA.

Sorry guys at 39.95 I will pass... I can get a leather one for $15 more. Anybody else think the new price is a little excessive for what this is? It seems out of character from what I've read about these two.

Their can only be one explanation for this...

I just wanted to let anyone know who has yet to receive their airmail that I got mine yesterday and I never got a shipping email. it just came as a total surprise. Don't get let down if you haven't gotten your shipping confirmation yet.

Also I agree with the last post the price hike is pretty excessive for the product. Don't get me wrong I LOVE THE AIRMAIL but there's no way I would have paid $45 for it!!

I am just glad I FINALLY got mine!!! I ordered February 7th and got it yesterday.

 

[stsanford]

Just to let you all know, here's another person who received their AirMail case.

Very good execution, nice materials included.

Was a little off-put with the letter inside. I understand that it was a lot of work to get these done, that's what business is all about. Hard work. I also did some rough calculations and figure at probably around $16 profit each, these two realized around $130,000 for their efforts so far. Not too shabby for a couple of month's work.

Regardless, case is real, good quality, wouldn't do it for ~$40 but that's just me.

 

[bence8810]

Still no email here....

I wonder if I will have the envelope by the time I take my first trip on the 1st of April. That will be exactly 6 weeks after my order was placed :|

the real Interofficemac

I know you opted for the InterOfficeMac because it has more protection but look at that zipper. It looks like it will scratch the MBA everytime someone puts it in or takes it out.

Everyone has been posting pictures of a interofficemac sleeve that is for the Macbook not the Air and it is hardly fair. I am a fan of the real interofficemac not the sleeve everyone keeps putting pictures of on here. I have attached a picture of my Air inside the Interofficemac and you can see it fits perfectly. I hope everyone gets a chance to read this and see this. For some reason half of my posts are deleted. I do not understand why . but I think I deserve a explanation at least. But oh well. Also everyone look for the article about Interofficemac in next months Maclife magazine . I just wanted to make sure someone shot down all these negative posts when the real sleeve is awesome so to all of you people that are putting pictures of a sleeve that is way to big and the person doing it knows they have a sleeve for the Macbook not the Air that is not right . so I will continue to watch the boards and post against your negative remarks and I am getting more pictures to rebut any and all posts that show anything false about my new friends.

 

[fredrickyoon]

Received mine on Thursday this week and it's awesome. Perfect fit, light, and durable and compliments protecting my Air. Even with the full invisible shield on the Air, it's still well protected in the ManilaMac case as well as in my Brenthaven shoulder bag.

I'm on the bubble on this as well. I was going to purchase one at $29.99 but now I see they raised it to $39.99 and I'm a bit hesitant to get it. That's pretty pricey for what it is in my opinion.

Hi

Its not only the money, its the shipping speed.

I have purchased mine on the 16th of February, and no shippment note yet. I sent two email, both claimed to be shipping any time soon.

Their website changed to "Shipping withing 1 or 2 days" a week ago, however a custome who purchased over a month ago gets no priority.

I am not putting the product off, as I still think this is the coolest one out there, and I am really looking forward getting it, which is why I am not cancelling, but its getting funny.

Anyways, I am going to keep waiting, and report back,

Any other international orders from the 2nd batch who received a note of shippment?

Thanks

Ben

Damn sorry to hear that. That's over one month, highly unacceptable.

International orders

I ordered mine on February 29 and I am still waiting. I already sent them 2 emails to check if it is coming soon but I am also still waiting for an answer. They should at least have someone answering mail before getting too many canceled orders.

 

[TxMacAddict]

Uh-oh... hopefully not a case of burnout.

Success isn't easy folks.

Hi Ben,

I'm still waiting.... haven't received shippment notification nor manila sleeve, yet

I got mine last week, used it for 1 day and decided not to keep it. Decided to stick with my UKWrappers case instead.

Hi

Were you not satisfied with it?

Ben

 

[fredrickyoon]

No, nothing like that, but it took a while for them to send it to me, and I got others. Have the In-Case Neoprene sleeve right now (which I'm selling. Thread is located in the marketplace), and also got the Asphalt Grey Orion Sleeve by Incipio Technologies (which I'm selling. Thread is also located in the marketplace). Deciding to keep my UK Wrappers one instead.

Nothing is wrong with the ManilaMac, it's a great idea though.

Quite a collector you are, I saw you even got the Civilian case, that black manila envelope one.

I only bought the Airmail, which I still didnt receive and a business case from Fabrixcases.com, the blue suit delux case. That case I ordered a few weeks after the Airmail, and have already gotten it. What a drag...

Same here my friend, same here...... Getting depressed over this, I am leaving on a trip in 4 days, and I wont have my uber-cool case with me

I did send them another email this morning in a bit more pushy tone, I wonder if that is what triggered the shippment. Can other International customers check for their email notification?

Thanks
Ben

 

[yymca6]

I am still waiting for an answer to my 2 emails. Should I add I am also waiting for the case. Canada is only a few miles away...

 

[pletwal]

Tomek, that's good stuff, I am glad you got yours. Hope all the rest of us will get it as well,

How long is First Class Mail shippment from US? I only know the Global Priority Mail, which is 5 days. I wonder when can we get our sleeves....

Cheers

Ben

I just received the AirMail today.

I have to admit, I'm not too thrilled with it. The Air really isn't snug inside. It kind of slides around with all the extra room on the sides.

 

[nihilisticmonk]

I put in an order around a week ago, and have had no emails whatsoever from manillamac.

Not even a "We have received your order" mail.

Still no response from them yet :-(

Your air looks real shiny...have you kept the plastic on, or do you have surf wax on it
