I first read about the Undies on your blog a month or so ago, and was enamored with the concept immediately. Scrolling through all the amazing case covers is so much fun; can’t wait to see all the gorgeous and unique covers that will be short listed. Also, couldn’t have a better name!
I do consider all of the concepts you’ve presented for your post. They are very convincing and will certainly work. Nonetheless, the posts are too short for novices. Could you please extend them a bit from subsequent time? Thank you for the post.
I am trying so hard to get the original of that article up Dan but I can’t do it…its difficult. I think someone should contact them though to let them know too.
