Vaja Grip for iPhone 6 -- Pictures / Review

Seems pretty thick

 

Glad I didn't order one now. Sad to hear that about such a promising case.

 

Did you ask for a return that was denied or something?

 

Functionally it would protect the screen...

I guess I'll mark this one off the list. Doesn't look like it'd protect any better than the Apple one.

 

I'm confused, what are you fighting them about, OP?

 

Thanks for the pics. The lip is not a game changer for me. I would rather place it down face-up anyway and the lip is just something that might get snagged in pocket anyway.

It does look pretty thick with the phone however. If you can, please let us know how many millimeters of thickness the case adds.

 

I suppose the Agenda case may be better for protection.

But i wonder if it drops when the face is open, would the case close automatically due to the magnets before it lands?

Also, wonder how much more depth does the extra cover add to the phone.

 

The edges look slightly more raised than the leather Apple case, which barely keeps the screen from touching when face down. Personally, I'm not a fan of the design nor the name. Appreciate the photos though!

 

Show a picture of the 6 in the case. Did you get the LP (low profile) version or the normal grip?

 

Great review and pics! I am anxiously waiting for this case.

 

Not gonna lie that case looks perfect for my needs.

I do think they used the LP frame because all the past vaja cases I have used have been huge.

 

Very nice. I like the detail and care they took for the camera cutout. Very elegant. Still anxiously waiting for my Calypsocase. Might just get a Vaja to do a comparison. Though the apparent 25 days to ship even though item is in stock puts me off.

 

Agreed. But i am worried about the feel and quality of the Calypsocase after hearing how nice the Vaja is.

 

It's different leather from different countries. The style and texture is completely different from the Vaja leather. I have a Hermes card case. The Calypo seems to be made with the same leather (which is why I wanted to get it in the first place). This is a picture of the case.



Got it about 8 months ago. Holding on nicely. Of course, Calypo probably uses a different supplier but then again, you can't go wrong with Italian leather.

 

Out of curiosity, what is the feel of that leather like compared to that of Vaja?
I hear that Vaja is a very soft, nice leather. While I know they are two completely different leathers, how do you think the Calypsocase leather will feel, given that it seems similar to the Hermes wallet leather?

 

I was quoted 25 days and I got a shipping notice today, which is about 5 days after I ordered. They are shipping direct from Argentina, and they shipped it FedEx priority, so I should see it early next week.

 

The last time I touched a Vaja was in the 4/4S days so this is purely based on memory. The Vaja leather is thicker, sturdier, rough to the touch compared to the Hermes which is thin, soft and smooth. Do note this is the Hermes leather and not the actual CalyposoCase though I think both will be identical or very similar. Vaja will probably be heavier than the Calypso too. We will only know for sure once I have the case in hand. Which I hope is within the week, though more realistically, 2 weeks.
