Vaja Cases: Protecting Your Zune With Style

Posted by David Tucker in "Zune Accessories" @ 06:57 AM

A case can serve two different purposes. The first reason is almost always protection. The screen especially is always at risk of scratching. The other purpose is looks. Now I’m personally a huge fan of the design of the Zune. I have been since the original Zune 30s with their unique double shot and I love the classy lines of the current generation. It takes a special case to enhance the looks of the Zune and there is always one company that will provide such a case. If you’re not new to the world of electronic gadgets, Vaja’s name will come as no surprise.

Figure 1: Such an unassuming package!

Vaja has a case for all Zune series now available but I’ll just be showing pictures of the Zune 80 case. For the Zune 80 there is only one style available in both aniline and vitelino leathers. I chose a case in passion vitelino leather and no belt clip. The case is simple and functional, with cutouts for a synch cable and the front controls. Integrated into the rear of the case is a stand which easily folds out to allow easy video watching. Now on to the pictures! Read more...

Make Your Own Device-Holder Leather Pouch

"The pouch that came with my Zune started to wear off. So I decided to make a pouch myself. I also never liked, that there aren't icons on the regular pouch which would allow for easy operation of the player without taking it out."

Well that's just cool. "Mike73" has posted a complete walkthrough on the steps needed to make your very own leather Zune pouch, which not only looks cool but is also functional—the buttons can be operated from outside of the pouch. I love how it looks both rugged and homemade, and if I had any artistic talents whatsoever I would definitely show this off. My favorite part is definitely step 8, where he brands the Zune logo on the outside of the pouch; it looks really cool, and it's neat that he started with a hexagon (I've never really thought about the logo in geometric terms). This tutorial is by no means limited to Zune, so if you've got a device that needs a new pouch, definitely hit up the read link for more.

Vaja's Zune Case: A Teaser Photo

Posted by Jason Dunn in "Zune Accessories" @ 10:00 PM

Yesterday I unwrapped a nice Vaja box to find their new Balance case for the Zune. What can I say other than it looks awesome? I wish the Microsoft cradle had more space to allow for Zunes-in-cases to be docked. Pretty short-sighted of them to develop it that way. At any rate, Vaja is going to be offering up 10 fully customized Balance cases to lucky Zune Thoughts readers. Keep your eyes open, the contest will be launching soon enough...

"Keep your Zune™ secure, and add some style to it with Vaja's distinctive Balance leather case. Customize your own case by choosing among a vast array of leather colors and embossing your name or logo on the backside. Innovative design: the Balance collection reflects Vaja’s unstoppable desire to satisfy the most demanding customers around the world. Balance is a harmonious proportion of Vaja's Classic and Ivolution design components that melt into this timeless but cutting edge design. Exquisite high-quality Argentine leather: the leather used in Vaja products is full-grain cowhide, unmatched in feel and aroma. These hides are selected from the top 10 percent of Argentina's leather for its quality, strength, character and grain."



Vaja makes the most exquisite leather cases on the planet, bar none: their leather quality, awesome colours, and customization options are unmatched by any other company I've ever seen. Vaja has said they'll send me one for review, so now all I need is a Zune to put in it. ;-)
