I could be wrong, but the yellow foam looks like a synthetic chamois type
material to keep the flies dry, or drier. Perhaps this is why 3M/SA calls
the yellow, the "dry fly box"?
Picture of the yellow foam:

I just bought two SA System X boxes yesterday. The yellow you speak
of is not the foam, but rather the space where the body of the fly
sits. The white (actually grey) section is the foam part that hold
the point of the hook.

Yes, you are correct Dave, I ordered one also (yellow box) and when I called
to place the order, they told me the same thing about the yellow is just the
space for the body of the fly. Nice boxes btw, glad Frank posted the
suggestion on the SA System X fly box. Did you notice some have a very
clear see-through plastic and some don't?
