Vaja has introduced its first cases for Apple’s iPod nano. Like all cases from the company, they’re made from Argentine high-ended leather and can be customized with numerous color options and added features. Vaja offers further personalization with your embossed name or logo.
The Vaja AP171 case ($34) features a screen protector and access to the headphone port, hold switch and dock connector. The case is available with an optional metal hook, Ultra Clip, or Rivet Clip system, and can also be ordered with a click wheel protector.
Vaja’s AP161 case ($40) sports a flip-down front cover with a screen protector and access to the headphone port and hold switch when closed, and access to the dock connector when open. The AP161 is available with the Ultra Clip or Rivet Clip system and can also be customized.

Is it just me, or are these waaaaaaaaay more reasonably priced than normal for a Vaja case? I like this trend!

Well they’re muuuuuuuuuuuch smaller than previous Vaja cases too hehe. Much less leather used…I mean, think about how small this case is. That said, I just ordered one for my wife’s birthday.

I think they adjust their price because of noreve cases….now they have a real competitor…
it seems that Vaja’s magnetic closure may damaged the devise right ???? I already had this problem with my Archos mp3 player.

Careful…my promised order of 1-2 weeks was finally 6 and 1/2 weeks before I received my order. Slow to respond to email enquirys also…and the worst issue was I was told several times various stories that all were along the lines of “it will be done on Friday!”
