The word you utter first when you look at the photo below and realize the price is $150 will place you in one of two camps: you either want a top-tier product and cost isn't a factor, or you're looking for something more affordable. Vaja has truly out-done themselves with this case: you don't often think of "hard shell case" and "soft leather" as being compatible, but Vaja did it. Vaja offers a <a href="http://web.vajacases.com/leather_tips/leather_tips.html">dozen leather options</a>, and the three layers of ABS protection will shield your iPAQ from most types of harm.<br /><br /><img src="http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/images/introivolution1.jpg" /><br /><br />"Vaja renewed the leather cases concept. The new I-Volution line has a unique, semi-rigid new design consisting of three ABS layers that have been integrated with the lid, which turns our original leather cases into a new semi-rigid product, enhancing even more the safety and protection against bumps and drops you want for your Ipaq..." <!><br /><br /><img src="http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/images/ivolution1.jpg" /><br /><br />The case is truly a work of art - smooth lines, feels great, and fits the iPAQ with incredible precision.<br /><br /><img src="http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/images/ivolution2.jpg" /><br /><br />The case fits the iPAQ almost like a sleeve - it "locks" in at the bottom and is very snug - no danger of the iPAQ falling out.<br /><br /><img src="http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/images/ivolution3.jpg" /><br /><br />The dual SD slots are handy for carrying your memory cards around. SD cards are easy to get in and out - no struggling or fumbling.<br /><br />Vaja has a <a href="http://web.vajacases.com/more_info/more_info.html">great information page</a> that shows more details on how the case was designed. This case was engineered rather than designed, and that's an important distinction. It's all about precision with a case of this calibre, and Vaja doesn't disappoint.<br /><br />I truly adore this case - it's top-quality in every way, including the UltraClip. At $150, it's quite expensive and not something I'd reccomend for the average Pocket PC user, but if spending that much on a case doesn't make you blink then this case is for you.<br /><br />If you're looking for a good quality case at a fraction of the price, <a href="http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=10361">take a look here</a> - otherwise, the iVolution case is the one for you.
