Just got my Grip for the iP6+ with the London color. It was one of the stock colors when I ordered it, and I got it in less than a weak.

I've been a fan of the Apple leather case, which I still have, and when I first noticed the cutouts on the vaja web site for the top, the bottom, and the buttons on both sides, I thought it might detract a bit from the look. But now that I've had this for a day or so, I'm really getting to like them.

My current opinion is that those cutouts reveal more of the iPhone's natural beauty, and make the buttons far easier to access than on any of the other cases I've had. The cutouts don't significantly reduce the protection IMO.

For those still interested, their IS a slight lip on mine that fully protects the glass when laying on a flat surface, and in comparison to the Apple leather case, my take is that the Vaja is very slightly thicker. I'd guess half a mm. I absolutely don't notice that difference as I'm carrying it or using it. I had to look at them very closely, side by side, to see that (if I DID see it). It's really trivial IMO.

I'm VERY much enjoying both the look and feel of this case.

Pics would be awesome! What color iPhone do you have? The grip in London is exactly what I'm looking for and also the comparison to the apple leather case is what I have questions about. Thanks!
 
Ordered a crown blue/true blue grip case last week which arrived this morning.

Looks great and doesn't add too much bulk to the device over the Apple leather case.

It's a secure fit, but there isn't a lip around the screen.

On the downsides, Vaja are taking a risk when they ship these out as the value on the packaging was around $26. No doubt to avoid import tax, but something to bear in mind.

Also the metal logo on the back wasn't pristine on mine. It arrived with some residue on the side and fine scratches.

Finally, not sure if it's worth mentioning but there is an unevenness to some of the edges where the leather wraps around.

Vaja Grip LP for iPhone 6+

Although I loved my Vaja grip for the 6 plus it felt almost too prefect, in a way that it felt like I was always trying to keep it pristine. Started as Durango and Birch. Added signs of distress to it by choice. The more I added the more I kept adding and adding. Anyways just my personal touch, to an already not your run of the mill, Vaja case.

That's really nice.....#
 
Love the case.

Got my replacement case yesterday after work. It is beautiful! I had asked if they had a true blue option with the bridge leather Pique, but they only do it in Caterina. So I went with that.
Great quality on this one, not a real complaint to be had, and I didn't expect it so quickly so that was a pleasant surprise.
Took some pics of it and my original black on black Bridge to show the subtle differences in the perforation and leather type. I'll try to attach them now. :)

Hi friend.

I love your case, and I've been trying to figure out how to order that exact one for about two weeks now:mad:. Is the "bridge leather" the perforated case that I seek? PLEASE HELP. When on the "customize" page, i'm given options to choose from, however, when I select "Leather Type" and "Bridge" it doesn't show as a perforated item I want. Is there something I'm missing?

I'm not the same person but when I view the Vaja website on my iPhone I don't get as many options as I do as when I'm viewing it from my desktop. Have you tried your desktop? Just throwing that out there...

Yep, I thought it was wired to I tried on my desktop and there were more options i.e

Floater-Caterina
Plain-Caterina
Bridge-Caterina

but no Bridge pique.

I have sent a communication to Vaja, now its just a waiting game ig.

Here is the communication between myself and Vaja customers service


Hi there,

I have been looking for a bridge pique ip6 plus grip case on your site for about two weeks now but to no avail. PLEASE HELP. Do you still offer it, I see it on the bottom left hand of the ip6 plus page, but there is no option to customize or purchase.

Hi Chris,
Thanks for contacting Vajacases and your interest in our products! That feature is not offered for that line any longer, not even as a customization option.

Please let me know if I can be of any additional assistance
Best regards,
