Thanks for the heads up....... I'll do just that. It does look great though!
According to Vaja they may be introducing a more protective version with the front lip added back on in the near future. [This was posted on their Facebook Page]
Yep, just saw that. Sort of good news, except by that time, me and most others looking for a case, would most likely already have gotten and settled on a case.
I've got a little more time until I actually have my device, so that helps a little... but then again, the ~1 month delivery period for the Vaja kind of cancels that out.
I'll keep an eye on Vaja for now until I get my device, but they really shot themselves in the foot here.
That's what I thought, I think I like the bridge leather more then the floater, but there's less color selection for that option.
The Bridge London has slowly got me hooked. Just waiting for the Nuova Pelle to drop.
I'm thinking they may add the front lip back on for the Grip Silver thats supposed to go on sale this week sometime
I really don't see how they could add all of that silver to the edges of the normal case, its just too thin, theres barely any room to add it.
vaja cases customer service
Vaja Cases are awesome. But the last one I ordered, and I have ordered eight of them, was a much darker color than the swatch on the website. I get that it is difficult to capture the color exactly on the website but Forest Night turned out to be black with a hint of green. It was like they ruined the color black. Customer service told me that leather colors vary. OK. Can I replace it? No. Can you give me a discount on a new one and I will just reorder? She emailed "I will ask for a usd 20 ecertificate to be issued so you can use it in your next purchase." That is a worse deal than the Father's Day 30% off coupon they had. I wrote back that I didn't think was a fair solution since the color of the product is not close to the sample swatch. I have never received another response from them. So in summary, Vaja Cases are quality cases but if you have a problem don't expect much from their customer service department.
Colours vary from screen to screen. What you see might not be exactly what you get. Especially with genuine leather. For example, there is a promo video of their Nuovo Pelle. The colour looks tobacco but in fact, according to their CS, it's London which is a much lighter shade. According to them, they had used that London for 6 months to get a natural patina over them.
If Vaja went about replacing or giving discounts for every colour complain, they won't be very profitable. End of the day, it's still a business. I am not defending Vaja. I only had ordered one case ftom them years ago for my iP4 and it took months to arrive. Just saying colours are a tricky business.
That said, I wish Vaja would let us zoom in on the case in the customization screen. The current one is tiny.
I have ordered 8 cases from the company. I do understand color variation. The website shows a dark green swatch and a dark green image to represent the manufactured case. The case I received is black with slight green tint. I am not exaggerating. And they send out 30% off coupons so giving me a 30% coupon wouldn't have driven them into bankruptcy, I am assuming. The pic with two cases shows the case I received. The near black one is the forest night. The other picture shows the sample from Vaja Cases website.

My grip durango came in today. It adds no noticeable bulk over the apple leather case. The Vaja is definitely bigger, but it's by a millimeter or so all the way around. It certainly doesn't feel any bigger. Also, I have the same results a previous poster had. The lip is just big enough to keep the screen off the surface when face down.
It's a nice, good looking case. I'm happy with it, and it only took a week and a day from order to arrive from Argentina (though obviously mine was in stock).
No pictures because my only camera is my iPhone, and a picture of a case by itself doesn't really do much.

Ordered this exact stock case for my husband for his upcoming birthday. He has a brown leather Apple case for everyday but he's a bit hard on it and I'm getting this one for a dressed-up/going out case. Hope he likes it! Glad to hear both of you got one with a protective lip.
Do you know that every time I am tempted to pull the trigger on vaja someone make a post like yours? I am not sure if I should thank you, or hate you.
I'm assuming you'll be calling Vaja's customer support on this. Please update the thread with regard to this. Some people have had some issues with their CS in the past so it will be helpful to the rest of us, in hearing how this will get resolved.
Good luck
Same here with a Grip LP for the 6.
I hope that it will adjust after a few weeks like my other Grip. Had the same problem, but not as much (no stitches).
