New Vaja Arrived

That looks great, I ordered mine on the 20th so it should be here pretty soon in the next week or so, do you know if that metal attachment on the back will be on the case if you didn't want a clip? i'll rather have nothing on the back and have it flat...then having some metal thing on it.

Here's mine, black again but for the 40GB. No belt clip.

Is it small enough to fit in your pocket with that case? Seems like you'd NEED the clip if its too puffy to fit in the pocket.

wow! great case!
i'm also thinking about getting a Vaja one

thanx 4 pics!
;)

The case I ordered on Sept 19 arrived today.

It's Lilac Grey / Black with a Rivet clip.

Beautifully made, fits perfectly. It's very lightweight, the front is nicely padded, but it doesn't make the entire package too thick.

In recent weeks I've taken to using a Rivet clip with my cell phone and Sony T1 camera, so the iPod is now another Rivet'ed device.

So far, the only downside I see is that the PocketDock doesn't fit... it's too thick for the cutout. The Apple cables fit fine.

Thats a nice looking case, but at this point in time I dont know if I could justify spending 70 bucks for a case. I have my iPod in an Oakley Sunglass bag, and it works well for now.

Just recieved my Vaja case for 4G 20GB. I selected the rivet clip system, both work great. A couple of notes...

1. The shipment (FedEx) took all of the 25 days that was indicated when the order was placed.

2. I did NOT recieved an email notification that the order had been shipped as indicated I would on their websight, however I did jump the gun and emailed coustmer before the 25 days and requested an update..the return email indicated that it was due to be shipped at the end of that week(25 days).

3. The ipod is a snug fit into the case so I would suggest that the ipod be free as much as possible of any lint/dirt before insertion in the case to TRY to cut down on scratches when inserted.

I know that there is a profit to be made on these cases...packing slip that came with shipment indicated case was insured for $42.00.

I would reccomend the case and company highly

um ok..

I have the same issue Supter. It doesnt help that my dominant hand is 100% in a cast from a couple broken bones, but im worried pushing it from the bottom might cause some problems.

btw, got my Caterina Maiz 3g Vaja yesterday. i will post some pics soon.

I got my Vaja case Black/Gray recently.
I love the case but I have one question...

The iPod fits in really tight, almost too tight that it is hard to take it out of the case. I usually take the iPod out by pushing it from the bottom where the firewire is and I would like to know if people broke them in to the point where they didn't have to do that and an just take it out by just getting it from the sides at the top of the case...

I ordered a lilac gray and black case. After it arrived, I used a compressed air can to rid the case of any dust/lint and then slid my iPod in. It took some effort to get it in the case without scratching it, as the fit was really snug. Shortly after having put the iPod in, I noticed the screen protector had scratches on it that I did not originally see under indirect lights in my office. I know the screen protector is supposed to protect the iPod screen from getting scratched, but I didn't really want to stare at scratches on my $100+ Vaja case's screen protector either.

Getting the iPod out of the case was a real pain. There didn't seem to be any easy way to get it out without possibly doing some damage to either the case or the iPod, but I finally managed. I contacted Vaja to RMA the case and they were very good about sending me a new one out. Unfortunately, the next case that arrived had some unsightly color variations on the gray leather to the left of the click wheel, so I am sending that one back as well. I want to give Vaja another shot, but I'm not so sure it's worth the continued time and money spent on shipping these flawed cases back to them.

despite the inbuilt obstacles here is my case:
