Fellow Vaja Owners,

Quick question - Did any of your cases arrive with small scuffs on it? I recently got my Agenda for my 6+ and it arrived with some small scuffs, not huge or anything, but certainly noticable. Vaja says its standard according to an email chain I've had going with them.

Just curious what others are experiencing as this is my first Vaja case.. :)

The bridge leather does seem to be susceptible to that. After some usage it will blend away. I had the exact same experience and the exact same answer from vaja.
 
I think yours was a different issue because you said it was held in Argentina. Ours is in Memphis and is still stuck.

Mine looks to be on the way again or at least has made some movement. This is the response I recieved from Vaja. I believe they had their ducks in a row it's just customs...

"The order had to go through special export scanning. These procedures are exclusively set by local regulations and though they are not frequent, they may happen from time to time, if they consider
them necessary.
Then extra information may be asked either to the courier or the company. And this brings about some delay in all the clearance process. Unfortunately, this delay is beyond our control.
All required documents have been provided by us in due time and form. We estimate the package should resume normal shipping course soon.

We feel sorry for this unfortunate situation

Best regards,"
 

does this wallet stay closed with less cards?

From this photo, it looks like the top flap stays open substantially, but maybe less would allow it to stay closed?

The photo on their website makes it appear as though the top flap stays down more.

It looks really nice though...

Another pic

can you post some photos of the wallet closed after the card slots are filled? I'm curious if the top flap closes any more than the other pic.

looks sweet

Yes, The less you stuff it, the more it closes, up to a certain point. Becuase it is virtually flat with only 3 cards. I stuff it though even with membership cards and (small) bills in both bill slots.

Here you go.

These are all with my Driver Licenses in the ID slot, 2 credit cards, and a folded $20 bill inside.

Two available slots that I choose not to use. Doesn't close as well as it shows in the pictures on the site, but that doesn't bother me at all.

It also is significantly dark since I've gotten it, but that's to be expected, and it seems to have added character.

The only thing I'm bother by is the stand. The less stiff the leather becomes the less the stand seems to work.

Curious as to how you all talk on the phone and hold it with the agenda type cases. Seems like it would be very awkward folding it back and grasping your credit card/license area? What am I missing?

Not awkward at all, although I text and email a lot more than I talk on the phone except when I am in my car. Then I use the bluetooth connectivity in the car.
 
Yeah, I've got a buddy that basically keeps his Bluetooth headset in his ear constantly unless he's going to bed. That way, he doesn't have to deal with holding the big phone to his ear (he works for Verizon and is on the phone a lot each day).
I'm not at all comfortable having something in my ear all day, so I thought I'd see what others are/were doing.
 
Same deal with my Vaja case, albeit a Grip LP one. Sitting in Buenos Aires since December 22 with about a hundred other orders from Vaja that are all moving together in a bulk order. Same canned responses from CS. FedEx called me this morning to let me know that they are still waiting on Customs to let the bulk order move. FedEx site stills says that Customs is missing paperwork from Vaja. Looks like Vaja makes an incredible product with these cases but doesn't have their stuff together in terms of shipping. Sucks...
 
I ordered one of these wallet cases on Dec 24th, and STILL haven't received a notice that it's shipped. I emailed CS 8 days ago and got a reply that the wallet was entering into its final stage of manufacturing...blah, blah, blah. I then emailed again yesterday to complain that it's been well beyond the promised 30 business days for shipment, and have received no reply.

I sent a final message to them today stating that I'm going to have my credit card co refund the purchase if I don't hear anything within the next 24 hours.

My advice is to stay away from this company at this point.
 
So, finally got a response from Vaja CS. They said it is shipping today...so hopefully it won't get stuck in customs for another extended period of time.

What do you guys recommend, bridge or floater leather?

Also, any Vaja alternatives?

I'm tired of the Apple leather case on my 6+ (it doesn't wear well...) and like the look of the Agenda.

My only reservations are price and protection.

I had an Agenda/Libretto for my iPad 2 which was insanely expensive before import tax which added another £20/40 (one or the other, I can't remember).

Like my iPad 2 case, the 6+ Agenda doesn't seem to cover all it can (i.e. the top of the phone), hence the look for an alternative.

Update: Vaja CS lied to me that the wallet was done. I waited 3 more days after they told me it was done and awaiting fedex pickup. Nothing. So I finally canceled the wallet and ordered something else.

I've had to have my phone naked for TWO MONTHS waiting for these clowns. STAY AWAY from this company.
