Beware: I have a problem with the ivolution top for the ipad; the leather split on one of the corners, and they have refused to honor their warranty saying it cannot be a fault in their material or workmanship, even though examination clearly shows the split to be jagged, following the lines of the embossing in the leather. Other cases I have had from them have been fine, but I think they are now overextended by demand and may be slipping.
Got a tip for us?

Anyone got a link to a video review of this baby yet? I'm almost certain to get one when cases.com get their stock in but need to be sure lol.
hey foolishfocus, any more pictures?
What is your opinion after few days of use? What did you try else?
Have cases.com given an indication yet of when their stock of Agenda 2's is due in?
Also - does anyone know of any Agenda 2 videos out there? Now people are getting theirs delivered I would have hoped to have seen some out but no luck on my searches so far

I've spoken with them, cases.com, twice in the past four weeks and each time they state they are expecting the cases in 1 - 2 weeks. I just called again and heard the same thing, but they offered to notify me when their Vaja stock arrives. Problem is, their system doesn't seem to know about the "Agenda 2". This sucks. I hope this is just the employee's lack of knowledge coming into play.
Unfortunately i believe that they are like everyone else facing vaja: no info, so, they can only say a date they expect (the first time they said 2 weeks to me, did that mean it would be 45 days? we know they are at least 2 weeks late on their delays).
by the way I couldnt wait anymore, plus I got a £15 tax from fedex for my iphone case, so I decided to order from the UK. And guess what, gadgetwarehouse did stock the ivolution top for ipad, black and lime, for cheap! 83.99inc. p&p.
They are on sale on ebay, ordered yesterday, shipped today, getting it tomorrow so i will give my feedback and post a review.
i'll miss the stand function, but anyway i promised myself to get the iPad2 as soon as it is here (thats why i took the 16GB wifi) so i am not sure that it makes sense to spend twice the price for a stand.
Mine just arrived. It's perfect in every way (for me). I have tried many case but they have all been too heavy or too clumsy. This one does just what I want.
The leather is beautiful as expected. The cover fold back to sit flat when hold the iPad. The stand function is simple and very stable. The whole case is lighter than I expected which is nice. Mine is black on black which looks great.
Overall, I'm happy.
Will post some photos later but I'm sure you all know what they look like.

What color combination did folks go with?
A video would also be appreciated please
YES! Sorry. Been busy....give me to tomorrow and I will post pics. I have my long run for my marathon training and will post tomorrow after that.
sorry, here are the pics. The one picture of me flexing the cover is to show that the front is a bit flexible. I have the yaobao one which is much stiffer. Also, there is some sort of cushioning under the leather so the front and back of the Vaja are VERY soft to the touch.
The grey is OK...the leather material on the inside is more smooth so I don't worry about flipping it open or easily wiping it clean. If I had to do again, I think I would have gotten a brighter color for the inside!

White gives it that Valextra look and all. I might go for BLack but then I'd spend too long trying to decide what the interior should look like.
Where are your photos then ;-)

I'm a guy! I have no idea what Valextra means!
I think for the price it's a bit over the top...
but one of the benefits are that it is easy to pop in and out. (As you can see from the pics, you don't slide the iPad into the rails like my black yaobao)
For the price the yaobao really rivals the Vaja. The yaobao is a really really nice case. The thing I like about the Vaja is that it is thin, has an unique look, and the front cover easily folds back and flat when holding it in one hand. I find that this position is the only one that is awkward on the yaobao.
Just buy one steffi! You know you are going to
I placed my order for this case on August 2 and my card was charged on August 4. As I expected, the wait is killing me. I'm hoping I'll get a shipping confirmation soon (the 45th day will be September 18 counting from the day my card was charged).
UPDATE: I got my shipping notification today! Woot! It should arrive by the end of the week.

Anyone else have screen 'grease' from Agenda 2?
I also have an Agenda 2 case (black outside with rabbit grey inside) and love the look, feel and functionality.
One disappointment is that every time I open my case, my iPad screen has a build up of what appears to be leather oil or 'grease' from the inside cover of the Agenda 2. I definitely know it's from the case as it didn't happen with the vaja case and there is a subtle but definite diagonal pattern to the smudges that match the diagnal design of the Vaja logo on the inside cover.
Has anyone experienced this with their agenda 2 cases? A quick swipe of a microfiber cloth takes care of it but it's definitely annoying to have my case MANDATE this... Especially poor feeling when I am showing someone my great new case and iPad and then there is a smudge festival happening on my screen.
Maybe once the leather ages and dries out a bit the residue left on the screen will reduce as well? I have a Vaja case for my iphone 4 and haven't run into any problems but that case doesn't totally sit on and make contact with the screen like the Agenda 2 case does with my iPad screen.
Anyone have any experience having this same issue? Or, just as helpfully, having not had the issue? Related to the color maybe? What color are your cases where you are/aren't encountering this issue?
Looking forward to everyones feedback and help in figuring this out!
