Nice! I may order one if I do not get a Vaja

Yes - I got tired of waiting to even be able to order a white caterina ivolution top from Vaja - so I ordered this. The nice cases are taking SO long to become available. This case seems to be very similiar to the Vaja case. I guess I will see how similiar when it arrives.
 
I can see the similarities between the Vaja ivolution and the Vintage Leather case. Honestly, I prefer the Vintage because it has more of an old West, rugged style.

I found these listed on ebay last night (there were 10 available from a seller in CA) and ordered one. I went back today and they were all sold out. The link for the british ebay above still had some but the shipping and currency exchange put it over $60.
 
Mine just arrived today from the SGP Store, and it is just as well manufactured as the iPad version. Nice smooth touch leather with a suede feel to it. Got that nice fresh leather smell too. The flap which hangs down just flips right behind the phone with no problem. Very hard to read the Mercury poem though... writing is just too small. No reception problems, and it fits very tight in the four corners.

This is a very high quality product overall, and if you love that old western vintage leather look, feel, and smell... I strongly recommend this one!
 
Got mine today....AWESOME.

I've had the Vaja's and the Orbino and this is just as high quality. Very pleased.


With the Vaja case, the top flap of the front cover that keeps it closed, left minor scuffing on the 3G chrome bezel from opening and closing over time. The top bit on this case is very snug. Anyone think this might happen with the new steel band?

I think not, as steel with this finish is far less scratch/scuff prone than the chrome used on iPods and earlier iPhones, but, I am curious.
 
I received mine today as well. The leather smells and looks fantastic. It does not, however, cover as much of the sides of the phone as the Vaja cases, which worries me a bit as the phone doesn't seem to be as secure. The camera and flash hole look plenty big, as well as the headphone jack. It feels really nice in the hand. I like it, but I'm not sure it's my final solution for a case. Still for the price it's a heck of a case and very well made.
 
Now that I have my iPad and iPhone 4 covered in nice SGP Vintage Leather Pouches, I wish there was a version for my iPod Classic. I thought about ordering another iPhone 4 version but when I tested the fit, the case is actually bigger than the iPod Classic.
 
I love the finish on this case.
Its has the same finish on the outside as the inside of my high end gun holsters, great build quality. holds the phone great.
 
How much bulk does it add? Can you still fit it in your pocket? Does it take long to open? Does it mess with ringer volume?
 
Just got mine in. it looks great. I can imagine with more use and wear the leather will build more character. Very nice for the money.
 
Will oversized headphone jacks/L shaped jacks fit in the headphone port?

Just ordererd one so I hope the answer is yes!

Oh and a reconfirmation that the camera flash works without interference would be great to hear too!

Can't be bothered waiting forever for a vaja! Been there, done that.

Waiting for an element vapor too!

You'll get yours faster then! I am also a female!

I as well gave up on Vaja. I loved my Vaja cases, but the leather dyes rubbed off and it did not always look nice. The darker the color - the worse it was for the ivolution cases. I did find that my original iphone ivolution cases and the pouches all fit the iphone 4.
