IPhone 4 / 4S in noble skin: Vaja against SGP

Here I never knew some super expensive (at least for a personal budget), the status of things, like phone covers price of $ 100, $ 200 or more. Okay, for a cool product of this kind is not a pity to pay $ 40-50, not more. But, as the saying goes, everything is relative and if your hands are not touched a thing, not popolzovalsya it, you should not judge strictly and, as his lack of understanding to keep to yourself. Incidentally, a common practice of many people and the author, including (when I was younger, but it Hot), loudly argue about what he did not know, did not feel, do not understand, do not feel the hard way, after all. But, sooner or later, everyone's life will teach wits and better, of course, sooner rather than later. Now we will focus on a very interesting experiences with products Vaja. It is a well known company dealing with elite leather goods. Naturally, the products are worth the money, and considerable. It seemed to pay for anything, because there are a lot cheaper counterparts? As it turned out, the fee is for that, and this is especially noticeable in direct comparison of competing products. I not really sure I can accurately convey your feelings through text, photo and video, but I will try.

Serious legend in jaunty packaging

Meet on clothes or, as in our case, on the packaging. Legendary products Vaja comes in a jaunty, but very stylish and unusual packaging. And it is not unusual in form, but in the design, in detail: embossed logo and the name of the office, perforated outer box is white, and under it a bright, rainbow box with hinged cover. Perhaps fetish on my part, but I really like it when the thing framed quality when its packaging is pleasing in appearance, good to the touch. the overall impression is constructed from such trifles.

A pair of Vaja cases for iPhone 4 / 4S are available in exactly the same boxes. The first model, known as the Black SeriesIt is a leather punch with a folding flip down. Second - this is a classic leather pocket with no frills, Classic Retro Slim Bag. Basically, I will compare the first accessory with cheaper analogues having substantially the same design - SGP Gariz Edition, well, until the pile has added SGP Valencia Swarovski Series. So, SGP Gariz Edition packed proved no worse Vaja. Less creative, but very well done. Cheaper Valencia Swarovski Series comes in a plastic box, a place that in the bin. In such like supply its accessories harsh Chinese office basement type.

Let's Mortal Kombat Begin!

I do not know what kind of magic specialists use Vaja in leather processing, but the tactile sensation from her inexpressible. Yes, and externally it looks gorgeous. It seems to be smooth it, but take in hand, it is felt that there is a little rough, a kind of soft touch. Very nice effect, I want to squeeze and hold the phone in your hands, do not let it - it's great! I wrote the last sentence in my head surfaced picture that I often see in the local public transport: sitting young man or woman, and keep in a tightly clenched fists phone. Does not call, he does not gain an SMS-ku, and just keeps why? After all, there handbag girls, guys - a lot of pockets, put the terminal can be anywhere. I do not understand this, and now, it seems that little understood. Me your iPhone 4 with the stretched Vaja Black Series also did not want to let go and hide it in his pocket. Probably, the above-mentioned people to squeeze their brand new Mobilochka, they like tactile feel.

SGP Gariz Edition too bad, but there's no fetish: the usual smooth skin with no frills. Figure also simpler. Company logos in both metal case.

Form factor is the same accessories, the same design, but there are some differences in design. For example, the decision of the SGP, including Valencia Swarovski Series, illusion Legend Black (so personally use a few months) and other counterparts within suede trimmed with delicate embossed in the form of a cunning runes and some inscriptions. So I do not read them, laziness. At Vaja stamping simpler - the name of the office and logo in large numbers, but the interior is made of fine leather - is more practical. I opened my phone and I see on the screen imprinted lettering SGP, funny, and probably more fun than just greasy stains, but smooth skin generally no trace is left.

We SGP front flip mounted in a special box at the back of the cover - it looks good, but slightly thickens the entire structure in the lower part. More on the rear panel for a trendy embossing, but only Gariz, other series of cost inscription «SGP Pounch. Designed in California. HAND MADE. »This is the way, in large letters« HAND MADE ». This annoying obsession with this inscription. I do not know whether to do something there manually, and Vaja also offers handmade accessories, but they are no inscriptions themselves not only on the corporate website. As for fixing the flip, the Black Series retains its metal plate, and the thickness is not affected. Looks like a stylish design element. I personally liked the most the last option, but both solutions look good.

Now let's look at both the accessory with a phone located inside. SGP Gariz Edition closes it on all sides, leaving access to all controls. Fits Case for iPhone 4 is quite easy to remove the phone does not work will be too - it is a couple of seconds. Thus Gariz Edition holds the device firmly as the other SGP cases of this kind, including Valencia Swarovski Series. At last the skin easier, but there is a nice pattern on the top panel and crystal Swarovski, girls like.

Vaja Black Series covers the side of the device by three-quarters, plus the iPhone 4 camera angle is completely open. At first glance it may seem tasteless, and it seems that on the protection of such a design has an adverse effect, but this is not true. There is one important caveat accounted designers of the company. When hide the phone in punch from SGP, the lost feeling that you use one in a stylish glass-and-steel casing of the world's thinnest smartphone. In the hands of a comfortable leather punch with an electronic gadget inside. All tactile baldezh the iPhone 4 lost.

In the case of accessory Vaja all slightly different. It's like a woman's dress with a deep neckline, if the lady has something to show. The smartphone is open, do not lose the feeling of communicating with a thin, technologically advanced and beautiful gadget. In the closed state chahol Vaja protects the smartphone is not worse than the SGP decision, in case of a fall: Flip wide enough and hook, too, so as not to allow the phone to hit the corner. A thick skin damps kick. In addition, iPhone 4 sits in a case very, very tight. Place it by the "put and pressed," as in the SGP Gariz Edition, I could not. I had to put on top and even make a little effort to gadget "stopped" into the case. Although neither of extract labor, but kept Vaja Black Series smartphone stronger.

Incidentally, trendy cover was slightly larger in thickness than the SGP Gariz and other products in this series, but as I mentioned above, it looks izdedlie Vaja spectacular in the hands felt nicer. Before making any conclusions, I take a look at the short video sketches comparisons theme of this pair of covers (best viewed in 720p):

Vote purse? It's not the same for everybody…

Not all owners of an iPhone 4 and other expensive devices are well-to-do people. There are simply enthusiastic users are willing to spend on an expensive gadget while saving in other areas. It happens, "toy" gives no soul in its Chad aspirants parent, or sponsor / sponsorsha happy girlfriend / friend in this case covers a person never thinks. Easy Come Easy Go. If, however, about protecting your gadget you're still worried, but especially do not want to spend money, although cheap things are not acceptable, then the solutions of the SGP is very good. use punch myself for a long time, very happy, no complaints. Is that a little hitch polished upper bound smartphone.

So to whom, then solutions from Vaja? Well, for example, considered accessory is not really something and expensive in comparison to some other company offers. The official website of its price tag is $ 80, and it is only $ 24 more expensive than the SGP Gariz, although twice as much illusion Legend Black or Valencia Swarovski Series. Official Vaja partners offer it to $ 10-20 more expensive, but, sometimes, can meet cheat and 50% or even 100%. As a result, it is possible and to please a loved one, if you want something of such things, or make a good gift - it will appreciate.

Complaints about the quality of cover I have. Using them is also convenient, easily discarded flip with one hand and no less easily back into place. Kept firmly in itself is not disclosed.

On personal appraisal put the accessory highest score. Perhaps, in his other products Vaja and takes over the brand, but in this case it is clear that the fee for money: for the quality of a cool skin, for a stylish design. A great thing for the price that the company asks.

The legendary simplicity

I fell into my hands one more Vaja case, even more simple and cheaper than the Black Series. This Classic Retro Slim Bag, valued the company at just $ 55. I remember in the "bearded" in 2007 I for the same money I would buy same design leather pouch from Crumpler for a classic aluminum iPhone.

Nothing extraordinary in Classic Retro Slim Bag is not even fashionable lately tab for easy phone extraction. But the fun of the fact that without this element to get out of the case Phone 4 Vaja is much easier than the vast majority of such products, including those with a strap. There are other nice nuances, which read below.

Of jewelry on my copy was the only signature metal logo and a white stripe. Accessory very neatly stitched edges zapyany, smells like leather, not dye, and it is soft. While at the drop of the edge is quite capable of dampening blow due to corners and edges (except for the cases when the phone fall to the upper, open face).

The product is decorated inside, I did not understand - like a very soft suede, this could be a kind of analogue and felt. But the fact that the thickness of the skin, its manufacture, the size of the inner cover and the substrate are chosen so perfect and exactly what the phone is very easy to enter into it, and no less easily removed. At the same time he does not hang out inside, Classic Retro Slim Bag sits very tight. Do not need to break in, it is not necessary to suffer for a week, until the skin is pulled, as it was with the same product from Crumpler. Case bought and are using them as a bud if he was already in advance by someone prepared specifically for your phone.

Amazing effect and excellent product that makes it clear that Vaja takes the money is not for the brand, although clearly in its range has a status thing for a rich and successful. The company pays maximum attention to any product and it's very nice.

I bought myself something like Vaja Black Series? If it was three or four months ago, it would have definitely picked up. Just at that time, I tried to phone SGP illusion Legend Black and just could not get it back, really liked the accessory, and at the moment I think this format is most convenient cover for themselves. But sooner or later you get tired. For the future iPhone 4S pick up something else and then when the "other" get tired, you can again look at Vaja. On the other hand, the company has a chic accessories for MacBook Air, some of which stirred up a couple strunok in the shower.
