Review: Vaja iVolution Case for the iPhone 3G/3GS

When I first purchased my iPhone 3G back in August 2008 I became obsessed with finding the best case possible. I’m a fan of the swivel clip, but I hate bulky cases, and cases that are made from cheap plastics, like a lot of the cases that are currently on the market.

In October, I stumbled upon Vaja Leather Products, a small company located in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Vaja makes custom designed leather cases for a long list of products, the Iphone and iPhone 3G / 3GS included.

The cool thing about Vaja Cases is that they give you the ability to design your own leather case via their website.

2 months ago I decided to bite the bullet. I spent about an hour playing with different colours and design options for my case and committed to buying one. After shipping it cost me around $150 and it took 3 weeks to arrive.

The Breakdown:

  • The case is absolutely stunning and made with very high quality leather.
  • The custom design that took me an hour to commit to was exactly as I had seen it on screen. I even branded a little message into the leather back.
  • For the extra $5 I had them include the Ultra Clip, which is basically a high quality swivel clip adapter for your belt.
  • The iPhone fits very tightly into the case. The best fitting case I’ve every had.
  • The flip on the front of the case protects the screen from any dust or damage.
  • For $30 you can upload a graphic, which they will brand into the leather on the back of the case.

Overall, I easily rate the Vaja iVolution Case for the iPhone 3G / 3GS  a 4.8/5 . Vaja offers a superior product when it comes to iPhone cases.

    I recently purchased a custom case from vaja. During the customization I added a belt clip assuming this would mean that my CUSTOM case would then come fully equipped to be carried on my belt. After $100 I got my case. It looked as it should. However, it did not have the clip attachment for the belt . They did send me an attachment piece which can in no way be attached to the case.

    When I contacted customer service I was told that my custom case could not be made to go in a belt. I asked why they would have that as an option on my customization page if it was not an option. And why would they sell me an attachment that is not even viable. I got basically no response from the company.

    I asked for either a refund or for tfgm to refurbish the existing case to include the clip attachment. That was almost 2 weeks ago. I am extremely disappointed in this company’s customer service. You would think a custom case means that you can make it what you wasn’t. Otherwise if there are restrictions they should state them . Now I have a useless $100 case.

    I am really disappointed. Think twice before ordering from this company. They are shady!
