Where
do you go if you want the best possible case for your PDA? After all,
you likely invested a couple hundred dollars and so you simply have to
make sure that your investment is not only protected but stylish. For
instance, my girlfriend needs something that looks good to cover her
device because, unlike me, she doesn't find PDA's as stylish as I do.
Alright, while you might not be the pinnacle of style yourself (I know I
am not), sometimes you just want something that is. That is where Vaja
comes in. Know this, Vaja doesn't cut corners. Vaja's products are
one-of-a-kind both for quality and style. If you want a case that sets
your device apart, then you are looking for a Vaja case.
One of the unique things about Vaja's cases is that
they are customizable. Even if you have a case for the same device as
someone else, in the same color, it is unlikely that you will also have
the exact same features. The kind of slots in the case for holding items
can be added to a case and customized. You can get a case without slots,
two credit card slots and money pocket, or two SD card slots. Adding
slots costs $6. A belt clip option can be added for $4. In the case of a
device like the iPAQ hx2400 where there is a CF card slot on the top of
the device, a cutout can be made in the case to allow for access to the
slot while the case closed. Cost of the CF cut out is $4. The inside of
the case can be lined with leather for an extra $10. Finally, there are
two personalization options for the case. Either $10 for laser cut text
or $30 for an embossed logo. For the hx2000 series iPAQ, the base Vaja
case will run you $75 plus any extras.
I love the smell of fresh leather, and that is just
what you get with a Vaja case. Highlighted by a small logo on the front,
it is easy to tell the cases is a Vaja case because of the quality put
into the product. Everything is just right on the case even down to a
small emblem engraved in the side for where buttons are located. The
only thing that puts me off about Vaja is the price, but the price is
defiantly shown through the quality of the product. I have only used the
Vaja case for a couple of weeks, but I have no doubt that my device is
being protected and is being taken care of by the case when it is in my
pocket or on the belt clip. Also one of the great features about the
case is all the colors that are available. Especially for my girlfriend,
she can really find the perfect color case for her (I am suspecting that
would be one with purple in it) and it is great that it can be
customized to fit the user's requests for style and personalization.
Dave's Score - 9.0
This means, this product is about
as close to "the best" as you can get. This product
embodies quality in its design and application, and is something I
would use. Though you still should consider it for yourself,
most would probably be happy with this product even if they were
unable to try it prior to purchase.
