An alternate viewpoint for your consideration. AS ALWAYS, shoot what you like and like what you shoot! (yup, ripped that off from cigars, buts its applicable!)
I ditched my FongDong a few years ago. Relegated it to the occasional wireless 2nd flash usage before it mercifully got lost.
Save the packaging on yours, head to walmart and give this thing a try. I shot entire weddings with it for the last few years.

That's the website and the ORIGINAL bounce card that I have, use and love. It look's like he's done a lot of renovations in the last 3 years and turned it into a business. He used to just show you how to make them. Feel free to peruse the site, but HERE is the video on how to make it yourself.

(disclaimer: he rambles, have patience)
His rubber bands work really well (I have one), but you can use a couple of those colored wristbands every charity and cause organization in the world sells for a $1. I haven't tried any of his commercial products, but they look quite good and I swear by his original version.
Rubber bands + scissors + walmart + flat-packing = win
This was almost certainly done with that card - note the complete absence of raccoon eyes, and that was very much a spur of the moment shot with ZERO setup.
