Vaja Cases Grip Case with MagSafe

[nrvous1]

Shame they want $29US shipping to Australia.

Total shipped for the grip with MagSafe is about $80 with the coupon code LUV20 to the US. I’m still not sure I want to drop another $80 on another case that I’ll probably use for a month.

Would be $130AUD for me.

I was going to add to the main sticky thread about "What case did you get..." but decided this deserves its own. I ordered two weeks ago the Vaja Cases Grip Case for my 12 Pro and received it today. I have been a customer of them for at least 20 years. This year's Grip Case is by far their best. I say that because in years past they had an open top (I believe prior to the 11 series). I liked the open top actually but the top corners didn’t always rise above the screen. It seemed like one side would always be flush and didn’t provide enough protection for me. But this new case provides great lip protection all around. The fit is perfect. A little tight to put on initially, but perfect all around. The leather is beautiful and looks great in combination with my blue 12 Pro. I love the open button areas and the open bottom. First of all it allows me to see the beautiful blue sides of my phone. I also prefer the open bottom. When I wipe off the screen there is an exit point, and I'm not just pushing dust particles into either the top or bottom of the case. (Yes I suffer from being slightly OCD.) It also allows me to insert my 12 Pro into my Kishi game controller, which the closed bottom Apple leather case didn’t allow.

The best part of this case is it is a MagSafe case. I was worried it wouldn't be the same as Apple's cases. I am super happy to report that they nailed it. The MagSafe charger and the MagSafe wallet attach exactly the same as on a bare 12 series phone and the same as on Apple's cases. The strength of the magnets seem identical. They even included the NFC chip because you get the same notification when you attach a MagSafe item (charger or Wallet) to your iPhone. The only minor difference is when putting my iPhone into the case initially, I didn’t get a chime like with Apple's cases.

All in all, this is a great case. I am super happy with it. Here are a few photos:

Hi, curious how do you like this case long term use ? I just ordered for my 13 max, also considering cutting up the rails of a dbrand skin to put on the exposed sides .. your thoughts ?

i used the case throughout my time with the 12 pm. i really liked the shape of the case, especially the exposed parts. it made it super easy to wipe the screen of my phone and have an exit point. Just not wiping things into the edge of the case. i also like seeing the exposed parts of my phone. I am very careful with it, never got any scratches. I wish i didn’t need a case. but too risky with the cameras for my taste. i also like the fact that the MagSafe magnet is just as good as apple's. with all that said, i didn’t order one for my 13 pm. mainly because i paid for a peak design case from kickstarter, which i haven't received yet, but seems perfect. i broke from tradition this year, so far, and haven't gone nuts with buying a million cases. i bought one inexpensive case from amazon and am awaiting the peak design case. but i still do recommend the vaja case.

Just got my vaja case, it only took 3 days from CA to NY , here is quick YouTube short of it … your right the quality is beyond my expectations, and the cutouts don’t bother me much and it’s very comfortable to hold ..I feel that this gives a little more protection than the Apple leather besides the cut outs … I’ll update after a few weeks of use . So now I’ve add to my case collection lol
