This is a joke, right? I mean Jesus H. Christ on a hopped-up pogo stick, what kind of sh!tsteak would spend more on the case than the unit? Yeah, ok, Paris Hilton’s skanky a$$, but besides her?
Give me a freakin’ break.

Vaja has done a comprehensive and beautiful job of advertising (wonderful ads, fabulous website) and their products are laden with style. Yes, all this coming from a male. I am looking into one for my wife as a Christmas gift since Tods does not make an iPod case. I am backing Vaja since they have put the time and funds into a high-end operation; aimed at the high-end (no pretense about doing so) and I believe they have become a player for the long haul. Not for everyone, but not meant to be. Conspicuous consumption? No doubt about it.

The sad part is that for every single one of these monstrosities that actually find a bling addict wanting it, other customers of Vaja fine products will have to wait even longer for their cases. This whole bling thing is pretty sick.

Uh, no thanks. I’d rather buy another Nano if and when my Nano becomes too scratched up for my liking.

My (male) friend thinks the Vaja Crystal cases for cell phones look good…he’s such a fool. I’m sure he’ll pick one up…

why don’t they just call the prizes what they really are…? $100 off a vaja case to entice someone into buying one (with plenty of profit left for vaja).
