Vaja classic retro slim bag?

There's no doubt that the Vaja pouch is a quality product and looks killer.
There are three things to consider.
The Slim Sena pouch is thin and fits nicely in your pocket but will not protect as well if dropped.
It also costs less.
Use code PCWIPNK11 at the Sena website to get 20% off.
I know of no discounts on Vaja products.
I ordered the Sena Slim as I want something that fits better in my pocket.

Thanks for the reply!
What makes you think the vaja is bulky? In fact, I was interested in it because it appears to be not bulky at all. I could be wrong, I've never seen one.
The Sena looks nice but apparently it's "US only".
Hmm, I don't want it to be too bulky. Based on the pictures from the website it looks OK but you never know. I don't want this to be a $60 experiment, lol.
Those look great, but are just as expensive as the Vaja. Would you go with this one? Looks like they ship international too!
I'm ordering this case tonight. I just can't decide what color to order it in...
It does say ultra slim, so I think it will fit in a pocket without too much added bulk. Without doubt, however, the Sena case will be slimmer. It is FAR too tight though, I used it at the Apple Store for my iPhone 3G. I know it stretches out a bit, but this was ungodly tight.
Besides, I've had two Vaja cases in the past and everything else now seems cheap to me, even Sena. Vaja absolutely makes the best cases you can get for under 500 dollars. The leather is outstanding and they have wonderful customer service.
Didn't you know that it didn't have a clip on it before buying it? Also, howcome it is so hard to remove the phone from? Is it too tight?
I'm gonna go with black (+black stripe). The iPhone doesn't need any colors!
The bulk really concerns me - but if you look in the pictures it looks pretty reasonable. Also, what kind of leather are you getting? The description of the difference between the two choices is hard to understand - it appears to be "cracked" vs. "uncracked" - is that the only difference?
It's actually cheaper if you get the slimline. Either way I have a 20% code for these cases that works and will give to anyone that wants one. I am going to go for a slimline.
I think I'm gonna go with a dark tan and dark tan stripe. Good choice on the black though, I just can't decide.
I believe so. I'm going to spend the extra $6 for the cracked leather.
Good choice on the color. I was thinking that although the cracked leather is nice, it might feel "harder" and thus more "bulky". Ugh, I wish they had a little store at which I can test them out haha
Update:
Just ordered the case, black on black, soft aniline leather. They nail you with shipping - $17!!!
Now the waiting process begins...If it ever ships I'll post pictures for all!

It looks better than those pictures - those were taken with the iPhone so you cant see any of the cracked leather detail and the colors are off. It is a great case, and if you are looking for something to cover it and then pull it out of I think this is about as good as it gets. Some of the other posters seem to think it is an ugly case but their choices seem ugly to me as well so if you like the looks I say go for it.
