Best (Sturdy, Good Design) iPod case

[ABELnyc]

saw some older threads in the SF archive about this, but nothing recent. There have been many additions to this product in the last 6 months.

So again, what are your fav. iPod cases? Concent has nice ones, but I need an arm strap for running, gym etc. Also, the Contour Showcase is nice but not sure how quality it is. Evo's iSkin is okay, but I don't like the 2-piece design (screen cover, and ipod cover) and it's a dirt magnet.

Looking for something with more than just thick soft plastic over the screen, I want hardshell plastic.

Any recommendations?

Head porter makes tons.

I use a vaja case, which I think is the best out there.

How did my dictate last night?

[sr20det]

Like the Dior Homme one. But its like I didn't even need to post that to inform people that I do. But I think its pretty stylish. But who uses a regular iPod these days ??

dress badly on purpose.

I use the white burberry one, it's quite nice..

[wild_whiskey]

I like the white/transparent iSkin. I dont like any case where I have to remove the iPod to use it, because that basically defeats the purpose!

[Bronson]

my personal fave is the fragment x GDEH x visvim x bxh x levis collabo that has a GPS unit and a hydration system built in.

auctually it's this....

[lilodxd]

Did you say a hydration system? What is its' use?

[tommib]

I think Vaja make the best cases by far!

the Gravis G-pod cases for 4g are out - but I think they are running at $30

[KEERST]

I have the basic incase pink leather one...

it's just fine...I got it before all this new FANCY stuff started coming out...

What I really wanted was the PUCCI one...I think it was an exclusive

with the colette store in Paris...but I missed the boat.

Dear RobbertJan,

If you received a "stainless steel" case for your iPod Mini, then it must made by Capdase (http://www.capdase.com). As they are the only one who manufacture a "Stainless Steel" metal case for the iPod. All others are made of Aluminum.

We [Vinko's Treasures] (http://shop.vinko.com) handle all consumer inquires for their product line.

these vaja cases are like the merecdez of ipod casesm i like the rasta color ones. try ipods cases by incase.

[locash]

VAJA are by far the best looking/quality cases for ipods, but you pay for that.

[vinko]

All,

The Vaja case is indeed the "Mercedes of iPod cases", but if you like something that is more like the "Toyota of iPod cases" (translated = has the quality but much more affordable), there are the cases from Capdase

As we are the only Authorized Online Reseller of the full Capdase product line you can purchase this and many other of their accessories from us

BTW: the cost of the "Capdase SPI Leather Case (4G iPod 40GB)" for example is only USD23.48 (including our regular shipping & handling to anywhere in the world, that's via Registered Air Mail).

Hi ABELnyc,

Thank you for your interest.

You are correct, the "Metal Case for the 4G iPod 40GB / Photo 60GB / Colour Display 40GB" is not yet available. The manufacture (Capdase) does not have an expected date they can provide us.

Although the "Metal Case for the 4G iPod 20GB / Photo 30GB / Colour Display 20GB" will be available very soon, the manufacture is talking about within this month, but I can only be sure when we receive them in our hands. Given that there's only 6 days left to the end of the month.

Please stay tune to our web site

http://shop.vinko.com

Alternatively, anyone interested in either of these Metal Cases, you can drop us an email ([email protected]) to be included in the notification list.

Bumping up super old ass thread. Anyways, about Vaja cases, does the "custom" crafting process really take a month? That's just ridiculous, I don't want to wait that long. Does anyone know any Vaja resellers? Didn't the apple store used to sell some? Or still do?
