REVIEW: Vaja Premium Leather Sleeve for 7 Inch Tablets (Kindle)

[kareth92]

Bent colored leathter often "peels" if you know what I mean. No visible signs of such defects?

Also, how does the sleeve behave when contracted with any kind of dirt? Dust, or something? Is it cleanable or it starts to get darker? Your color is quite light so it should be good unit to check the behaviour in such situations.

And the last one: did the leather relaxed with time? If yes, does it affect its ability to hold your kindle or maybe it can fall out of it?

Thanks in advance for your reply;)

@kareth92 If I peer VERY closely at it, I can see tiny nicks/dents in the leather, but they're basically invisible unless you have a magnifying glass. :-) I've never gotten the sleeve in dirt, so I can't comment on that (I don't know how/why that would happen in everyday use). I can hold the case pouch-down and my Kindle doesn't fall out...unless I shake it. :-)

How about the leather condition after a month of usage?

@kareth92 No joke: 100% flawless. Not a single issue that I can see, and I've taken it travelling with me a couple of times. Really impressive case!

Needs a strap to keep the device from falling out once the leather relaxes.

@dswellhauser I'll let you know in a few months if the leather relaxes. :-)

I have mixed feelings about protective cases and such. On one hand, I really like to keep my gadget looking shiny and pristine. However, when it becomes obsolete in 2 years, I end up with something that looks great, but ultimately useless since it would get replaced.

I guess this wouldn't hold as true for something that's more lasting in terms of its principle of core functionality (like the Kindle).

Regardless,very chic sleeve. I really like it. Too bad Kindle isn't supported in my country

@chieffw Ah, but that's the nice thing about a "generic" sleeve like this...a variety of devices can fit into it (like my HTC Flyer), so it's more useful than buying a form-fitting case for a specific device that you won't have in a few years. I agree about the Kindle though; I expect I'll keep using my Kindle 3 WiFi for quite a few years...
