I still think a Vaja case would be a great additive for your collection, Navilyn. Maybe you can push up delivery fee if not too custom.
Their cases are top of the line quality and unique. Sena cases are also great quality.
Keep us posted paulbent - thanks!
These are nice, and about two months ago, with the help of MMB916, I almost ordered one. But, the wait time was 21 days!
Who wants to wait that long? Am an addict remember, within that time period I might have switched BlackBerry's, and then what?
06-29-07 11:05 PM - Just received the Vaja case for the 8830 World Edition. Customer service was great; it arrived just when they said, via FedEx from Argentina.
The packaging is nice, as you'd expect. The case comes in a presentation box (cardboard, but high quality), along with a stack of color photos of their other products.
The unit I ordered is in "chocolate" leather, and these pics don't really do it justice. Very rich color and nice feel.
The workmanship is excellent. There are no loose threads or "almost fit" joins. Very snug, exactly the right size and shape, and great to the touch.
The embossing on the back is optional, but it's only $10 and I think well worth the price. A nice addition.
If I have any complaint, it's that the openings at the top and bottom of the screen protector allow tiny bits of whatever to get inside; a little annoying, but easy to clean out by removing the case occasionally. Also, the screen protector itself may be subject to scratching; it's not nearly as hard a finish as the screen itself. We'll see how it holds up after a few hundred calls and handlings.
Overall, I'm very pleased. A little pricey, but worth the investment for the sake of the ol' BB.07-11-07 12:35 PM - Hi Guys,
Read with great interest this thread especially since it had nice pics from Paul's choice. However let me share a concern with you all and hopefully get a reassurance.
About 1 week b4 i knew my Curve would be with me i like all prospective new CB owners scanned which case to buy. It came with the OEM Pouch which i find pretty zippy to use and cool to look at. I was looking for a pounchy type thing since im not a holster wearer...more of a chuck in pocket person.
So im scanning and to cut a long scan short decided on Vaja for the obvious quality and looks etc. As we know they take time to arrive. In the meantime i used the OEM Pouch. Now i have been using the oem for about 1 week (no delivery of Vaja yet) and im really happy with it! However i was still looking forward to receiving the Vaja.
BUT!!!!!! Then i realised something that i could not have done prior to owning the Curve (it was my first BB). I had customized the Curve to react simply perfectly with the Magnet. This ibviously involves pulling out to answer, sheathing to finish, to sleep etc etc Ive kinda not only got used to this but now see it as a crucial feature of the phone!
Heres my new paranoia and doubt RE the ordered Vaja. From Pauls photos and comments i realised it doesnt look like the type of case one utilises the magnet function with. It seems more a case to KEEP the BB inside apart form the occasional clean and battery pull etc. My BB is in and out of the OEM all the time! I dont think the Vaja's are designed to be used in this way.
This leads me to my final comment/question. Do any Vaja Curve owners out there use the Magnet function still with their Vaja or has the Vaja ended the magnet functionallity for them
Please comment ASAP!09-11-07 11:39 PM
