Vaja case ivolution question

Anyone have this case. I stumbled upon vaja's website and their ivolution looks pretty cool. I have some questions regarding that.
1. Speaker, I'm concerned when making phone calls, that hearing the conversation will be more difficult, you're ear is now farther away from speaker. I googled the ivolution for the iPhone and saw one or two complaints
2. Dust, will dust get inbetween the material and the phone? I have the incase slider now, and I take it off to clean the dust off by the seam of where the phone and the case meet
3. Pocket use, I keep the phone in my pocket, does the form factor of the iVolution inhibit this, is it too bulky?
Its a bit pricey, but its a sharp looking case, so if anyone has any thoughts or suggestions I would greatly appreciate the feedback.

I have owned Vaja cases for other products but not the iPhone. I will tell you that any case adds bulk and you will notice it. This case looks thicker then other leather cases of the past - as thick as some hard shell plastic cases.
I would think sliding it in and out of a pocket would be hard to do. You will definitely get dust around the edges and have to take it out to clean it - especially if you are slipping it into a pocket. Pockets seem to hold lint and dust.
I don't think hearing would be a problem though. Vaja makes a fine case, but i decided on none. I have gotten tired of buying accessories for every new phone that add up to more then the phone.

  • Question About Vaja Cases

    I recently bought a neoprene case for my Zen Touch (not from Vaja). All well and good.
    At the same time, I also bought a rubberized skin for my Touch. Great.
    But the thing is, I can't fit the Zen Touch into my neoprene case while the skin is attached. Anyone know whether the Vaja cases would be able to fit the Zen Touch with the skin on it's
    Thanks. I hate to think that I spent $80 for these two items and can't use one without the other.

    All Vaja cases I've see have a 'snug' fit and my guess is that it wont fit while the silicone case is on.

  • Vaja case for i4

    I ordered an i4 case by Vaja last Friday and got two emails confirming the order. However, the charge has not shown up on my credit card. By contrast, the charge for my iPad showed up almost immediately.
    Anyone place an order with Vaja for the i4 that knows how this is working now? I don't want to call their phone number because when I did that for the iPad my order was stopped until I resolved the order by email.

    I've owned four Vaja cases over the years, and the leather craftsmanship is lovely, but my last, the nano classic case with "metal hook", has turned me off Vaja for life. I had a problem with the clip, a permanently attached, $5 add-on, which nearly caused the destruction of my iPod nano when it let go during its first use, and they totally blew me off. I paid nearly $70 including shipping, have bought four products from them over the past few years (at as much as $140+ a pop) and they told me in the most polite possible manner to screw myself.
    Since they're in Argentina, one lacks options as a consumer and I'm spitting mad over it - aside from warning people that you're screwed if you have a problem with your expensive Vaja case. Lousy customer service is one of my biggest pet peeves. Caveat Emptor.

  • Vaja Cases for the 5G - a warning!!!

    These cases are beautiful (& expensive) but I am extremely disappointed that when I put my pristine new SCRATCH-FREE 5G ipod in my new Vaja case, the case caused very bad surface scratches all down one edge and across the middle of the iPod front.
    The Vaja case claims to have a soft leather lining - it may do - but despite this, it still scratches the iPod (partly because the fit is very tight). When you pay a fortune for a case to protect the iPod from scratching, the last thing you expect is to have the case actually CAUSE the scratching.
    The case also traps a lot of dust particles and small hairs between the screen and the screen protector, which you can't get rid of without removing the iPod from the case and making the scratching worse.
    Guess who WON'T be making my next case!
    Nigel

    THANK YOU! I was so close to buying one of those off the site. You have saved me the 70$ to actually get more scratches. Good timing there.

  • Anyone used a VAJA case with their iphone yet?

    Specifically, I'm wondering which clip system (ultra vs rivet) folks have used, and how/why they like it.
    And especially if anyone has yet tried the newer ivolution Top SP Holster... How practical is it? Why do you or don't you like it?
    Thanks!!!

    I have the Vaja Top Holster case and love it. And although this particular case I got sans clip, I have had ample experience with both... The ultra clip is heavy-duty (for larger and heavier devices), and moves about on only one axis (spins) - it's very substantial... The rivet clip system is based on a lighter duty "pin" mount, and moves much more freely about it. Also, the rivet clip system has more than one way to be affixed. Although it comes with the standard "Basic Kit" primarily intended for belts, and the like... You can also order the "Additional Kit" that contains a hook, a fabric mount and an adhesive mount... And also "Additional Kit 2" that has a "Kingpin Chain" mount (this one, I've never seen in person, only a picture).
    My opinion on Vaja clips is that I generally prefer the ultra. I only use the rivet for much lighter and smaller devices, like the iPod nano. And although the rivet system is much, much more versatile, it flops about a bit too much for my taste. This is the reason I only chose it for nano... Truth be told though, if I had used a clip for iPhone, I would have chosen rivet, since it more closely matches the weight and size of the device.
    Detailed info is posted on the Vaja website under "Info > Our Cases".
    On the iPhone cases, I can relate two scenarios... I have the Top Holster that provides direct screen protection. In this case, you need to accept the 'dangling' cover when the phone is in-use, but which snaps into place when not being used to protect the glass front. My nieces didn't want the dangling cover, so they use the straight Holster, but keep them in Vaja leather bags when not in use... Whichever you prefer is a personal choice. Both are absolutely beautiful...
    To tell the entire story, though, I also use a Vaja leather bag for my Top Holster equipped iPhone. This is to protect the beautiful leather from getting scratched...
    Hope this helps.

  • Free cases issue + question

    I just watched the PC, and Steve said that we would receive free cases. He said that next week Apple would have a site up that allowed you to choose which case you wanted to get for free. Bumpers aren't the only ones that are being given away. There will be some other cases from other brands that will be available. This is due to the factory not being able to produce the bumpers quickly enough.
    Hope that clears up some questions.
    Here's a question of my own. Will we be able to input, say, an order number and be able to register for a case and have them send the case together with the phone or will we have to register after the phone is sent?

    Thanks for the info!! The cheap (|) case I have does not work very well as it
    comes off every time, but it works great as I haven't had too many dropped calls. Funny thing is most of my dropped calls is because I am in part of a crappy area for AT&T.

  • Need Help on using Forge Config Manager and CAS. Questions listed in the content below

    Hi All,
    I have an existing Endeca pipeline implementation where we read the data sets (Product Catalog Information) from Oracle database using JDBC adapters. The data set undergoes a series of manipulation until it gets indexed to the Endeca system. We make use of PCI for dimensions and dimension values. However, we now want to extend PCI to also include the Product catalog information. The current implementation also does not make use of CAS adapters to consume the dimensions data in PCI. The next consideration is to implement PCI as close to Out of the Box provisions and standardize it. Therefore we are also considering to implement CAS.
    The questions are as below:
    1. What are the ideal parameters that should support the use of PCI implementation (Dataset + dimension + precedence Rules + schema information) ? Note: We DO NOT have any product catalog system (like ATG) between database and Endeca.
    2. Considering that we do not have any product catalog system to organize and maintain data, how feasible is it to read directly from database through CAS Adapters and process the data ?
    3. We also plan to introduce partial update pipeline in future releases. Keeping that in mind should CAS based approach help us to read from a record store at the time of partial updates ?
    4.in case we are limiting to a business case of implementing partial updates in the above explained existing design, should a custom CAS approach be a better design ? Custom CAS approach = writing the baseline output data to record store and later referring it at the time of partial updates.
    5. Will CAS based approach help to reduce the baseline timings ?
    6. What is the best way to export data to record store instance in the above design ? (Record store API / Command line utility / CAS crawl)
    Thanks,
    Nitin

    Hi Neeraj,
    You cam use both PI SLD and Solman Local SLD for LMDB synchronization. Now here you make to make sure that correct ranks are assigned to PI and Solman SLD. With the help of multiple sld, you can remove the cause of concern. Local SLD should always be of solman.
    For CR content. that you can do for solution manager system in a click.

  • Has anyone got their Vaja case for their iPhone 4 yet?

    I just got mine and am disappointed. I've bought probably a half-dozen of their cases for earlier iPhones and iPods and have liked them.
    This one doesn't fit well though. The part that folds over the screen doesn't fit tightly enough so that it is very easy to slide it off enough to one side or the other to the extent that it doesn't protect the screen.
    Too bad, waited almost 2 months and now this . . .

    I bought mine at the Vaja store in Paris while there on business. I got the sleeve-model. It is just gorgeous, if way too expensive. BUT within three days, it was too large and too loose and the iPhone 4 just slides right out while it is in your pocket. It's probably better for women who might place it in their purse in a pocket where it isn't going to slide around - but it is unsafe and unusable in a pants pocket. Sadly, I can't return it to Paris...I use it, but only when I can carry my iPhone in my inside suit breast pocket - otherwise, I use an older case for my pocket. Oh well.

  • Vaja cases - with or without click wheel protector?

    For those who already own one for your video ipod, what are your opinions of the click wheel protector?
    it looks rather obtrusive in the pictures, but perhaps I'm wrong..
    any thoughts?

    I ordered my Vaja classic case without the screen protector. I wish I would've gotten it now. Too late to change my order. I too thought it took away something from the look of the case, at least on the website, but I've read that it's actually very good. Oh well, I'll just have to use something else. I'm considering clear protectors from Martain Fields.

  • PC 2.5: Delete cases/survey questions

    Hi all,
    In order to test some functionalities of PC I scheduled some surveys a few month ago.
    I'm trying to delete all the questions, surveys and cases that I have created.
    I tried to use program RHRHDL00 but I didn't find these attributes as parameters.
    Note: i have customized lots of master data that i don't want to loose.
    Any idea?
    Best regards,
    Julien

    Julien,
    I assume you are talking about a dev or QA system.  It is my understanding you can't delete a question if it is in a survey and you can delete a survey if it has been used (a key control for audit purposes).  That said you could go into the IMG under administration programs and "Execute Administration programs for PC workflows" and go into 'delete cases and workflows".  You should be able to find whatever you want to delete in here and in theory you should be able to delete subsequent objects.  I haven't done this so I'm not exactly sure if it will work.  You will have to delete everything for each survey.  Depending on your environment, this could be a very difficult task.
    Personally, I would just mark the survey(s) and/or questions inactive and just forget about them.  There are so many interdependencies on the backend that performing these types of changes might turn out to cause more trouble than they are worth.  You could quickly find that other, unanticipated things go "sideways" after making manual backend workflow/case changes (like performing signoff).

  • Case Escalation Question

    I was informed (after 7 months of various support tickets and 2 depot center repairs) that our case would finally be escalated. I was told I would be contacted early this week. It is now Thursday, and I haven't heard a peep from Lenovo since the call that resulted in the escalation last week. When do I start to worry? Is there a seperate department I should contact regarding this? We have 9 of these laptops all with the same issue and it makes us look very incompatent to our employees that are still, after 7 months, having to use these "faulty" laptops. I have heard many a horror story about Lenovo's escalation process. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. 
    Thanks!

  • CAS (array) questions redux

    I have a single Exchange server, where Get-Mailboxdatabase reports that the RPCClientAccessServer is servername.domain.local
    I'm currently having a certificate mismatch due to using a wildcard certificate, this only manifests as an error popup when you first start Outlook. Mail works fine, as do calendars - but I want to get rid of that pop-up.
    I'm already doing a split-brain DNS for EWS and so forth - mail.domain.com resolves to an internal IP internally and an external IP externally through a "real" DNS entry that's Internet-facing, and this way neither users internally or externally
    get certificate errors and everything works - EAS, OWA etc. So it's just this internal issue left.
    The question I have is that  I read something about it being a bad idea to use the same DNS name for CAS if the same address is externally resolvable (which it would be in this case). Does setting RPCClientAccessServer affect external clients too?
    Should I create a second split brain DNS entry instead, like mail-internal.domain.com and point that at servername.domain.local just to use for CAS?
    The second part of this question - can I just do: Set-MailboxDatabase MailboxDatabaseName -RpcClientAccessServer “mail.domain.com” and  walk away, ie skip the CAS array creation entirely if I were to choose that, assuming mail.domain.com resolves internally
    to servername.domain.local?
    Or should I definitely create the array and use that instead even though this is a single-server environment?
    Thanks.

    Indeed!
    http://blogs.technet.com/b/exchange/archive/2012/03/23/demystifying-the-cas-array-object-part-1.aspx is what Will is referring to.
    No, it is not that simple of just changing it and walking away. 
    Is this Outlook 2013 by any chance?

  • Case saving question!

    Hi guys:
    what is the parameter IM_NEW_VERSION(Generate New Version of Record (X: Yes/space=default: No)) of IF_SCMG_CASE_API~SAVE.  Normally do we need to set the parameter?
    thanks and best regards
    Eric

    I have two pieces of advice:
    #1 Invest in some 80mm, 92mm. or 120mm case fan filters.  From the pics it looks like you've got a little bit of dust in there.  The filters are only like $2-$4 each at your local computer parts store (or directron.com or frozencpu.com) and you should mount them over every fan/air-intake hole in your case.  The build up of excessive dust will lead to premature fan failure, I know from experience.
    #2 As far as your question goes... measure twice, cut once .
    [EDIT] Added URLs to filter sites.

  • CASE Expression question

    Hi,
    I am wondering how to implement case logic where THEN statement would be written only once for many WHEN's.
    This example is from the oracle documentation, I extended it a bit.
    SELECT cust_last_name,
    CASE credit_limit
    WHEN 100 THEN 'Low'
    WHEN 200 THEN 'Low'
    WHEN 5000 THEN 'High'
    ELSE 'Medium'
    END
    FROM customers;
    As you see we select 'Low' for both values 100 and 200.
    What I am really looking for is something like:
    SELECT cust_last_name,
    CASE credit_limit
    WHEN 100
    WHEN 200 THEN 'Low'
    WHEN 5000 THEN 'High'
    ELSE 'Medium'
    END
    FROM customers;
    OR
    SELECT cust_last_name,
    CASE credit_limit
    WHEN 100 OR 200
    THEN 'Low'
    WHEN 5000 THEN 'High'
    ELSE 'Medium'
    END
    FROM customers;
    But both of selects are not valid in oracle (tested on 10g Rel2)
    Maybe it is very simple and I am witting it wrong, or it is working only the way I have to repeat the THEN to every WHEN.
    Thanks in advance!
    let's say I would like to perform the same step

  • A Case Study Question in the Use of Stills with Final Cut Pro

    Believe it or not, for the last week I have been reading endlessly about pixels, resolution, aspect ratio, Photoshop resizing, the bloody battle over the usefulness of the term "dpi" in video discussions, and generally about what one should do in order to use still images in a film edited in Final Cut Pro. And yet, though I have a PhD from an Ivy League university, and can understand a lot of things, I am sorry to say I am still at a loss.
    Much of the discussions of photos on forums like this one are either quite technical or broadly philosophical. But my questions are completely practical and specific. I am not a photographer or a printer, nor am I an experienced editor. I am just a fairly smart person trying to use photos in his film. So I am going to ask some specific questions and hope for specific answers, without any philosophical waffling or technical mumbo jumbo.
    I have one of those HP all in one printer/fax/scanner machines. I am told this device, while not fancy, is perfectly adequate to the task. Some of my photos I scan with this device from prints. Some of them I get from other people. (I have stopped downloading photos from the web, as the quality is nearly always poor.) I have Photoshop Essentials (not Photoshop). I am making a 90-minute HDV documentary, 16x9. The doc is mostly HDV footage with a still here and there. I want to be able to move on the photos (zoom, pan, etc.). I want, obviously, for them to look good. My sense is that the work flow is: (a) scan the photo (or obtain from some source as a digital file); alter the photo in some way in Photoshop; and (b) import the photo into your FCP project.
    Question #1: If I have a 6x8 print, what settings should I scan it in with -- is it possible there really is no difference between scanning in it at 72dpi and 300dpi? Is it really all about the dimensions of the image? Isn't a photo whose dimensions are enlarged in Photoshop to make it available for panning and zooming in my sequence going to look fuzzier and more pixelated if it was originally scanned at 72dpi than at 300dpi? Also: Does it matter if I save it as a jpeg or tiff? Bottom line: What settings do I use in my scanning software when I scan a photo for this purpose?
    Question #2: Once I have the image file on my hard drive, I suppose I now have to load it into Photoshop Elements and do something to it. What is it exactly I am using this program for? I'm going to take a wild guess. I use PS Elements to (1) crop the photo so that it has a 16x9 aspect ratio, and (2) resize it so that I can do pans and other Ken Burnsy moves on it in FCP. Bottom line: What exactly do I do in PSE to the photo and what settings do I use to both (a) make it available for moves and (b) not injure the quality of the photo by increasing its dimensions?
    (In passing, I will say that I have done experiments that show that if I increase a photo's dimensions to, say, 4000 pixels by 2000 pixels, the photo's quality definitely and obviously suffers. I don't understand how a picture can be increased in size without losing sharpness. So, what am I doing wrong? Is this a function of it having been scanned in improperly to begin with?)
    Question #3: If I am obtaining a photo from an outside source -- say, a professional photographer -- what are the specifications I ask for in both a hard print and a photo file? If the former, what dimensions do I ask for? If the latter, do I specify resolution and dimensions and file type?
    These are my questions. At this point, I really don't want to know WHY any of this is the way it is. I just want someone to say: "Do this; do this; and then do this."
    Thank you very much.

    Studio X is absolutely correct; while DPI has no meaning in the video world, it often has significant meaning in scanning (and, of course, printing). If your scanning program only allows image size adjustments in DPI, then you'll have to adapt to that ... keeping in mind that the scanner's DPI setting directly relates to pixel resolution. And it is pixel resolution (not DPI) that will make all the difference in the world for images used in video. You can test this yourself by scanning an image at 1000 x 1200 @ 72 DPI and again at 1000 x 1200 at 300 DPI. They will look identical on TV or projection as long as the pixel resolution remains the same.
    As an example, my Epson scanning software allows me to adjust image size by DPI or pixel resolution. Wanting to maintain the correct aspect ratio for the image area that I'm scanning, I adjust the DPI setting which in turn adjusts the pixel resolution automatically. But it doesn't work the other way around; if I adjust the pixel resolution settings manually, the DPI setting does not change. Your software may vary.
    As Jim Cookman suggested, a scan setting of 300 DPI works well for most images ranging from 3 x 5 to 4 x 6 (typical snapshot size) in a DV Sequence. I may scan smaller images at 400 or 600 DPI and larger images (8 x 10 and up) at 150 DPI. Other size images fall in between those numbers. But I'm constantly watching the pixel resolution numbers to make sure I'm getting what I'll need to support the animation I intend to apply to the images once in FCP. Also bear in mind that I don't always scan the entire image. I only scan the area of an image that I intend to use in my program.
    So the answer is that it all depends on your scanner's software and how far you plan to push into an image once in FCP. Do a few experiments ... you're a bright fellow so it shouldn't take long for you to find the formula that suits your purposes.
    I haven't edited an HD Sequence using images yet, so I cannot offer definitive pixel resolutions for you there.
    On to your specific questions:
    1. See above. There is no one correct answer It all depends on what you intend to do with the image once it's in FCP. If you only plan to push in about 10%, you won't need much higher resolution than the equivalent of your FCP Sequence resolution. If you plan to push in further, you'll need a higher resolution to support that move.
    2. I've been doing these for many years (SD Sequences only) and I've never loaded them into Photoshop first. I import the entire folder into FCP and drop it on the Timeline so I can see what the images look like on TV; unless your program is for CD-ROM or web delivery, that's where it counts. When you place them on the Timeline, FCP will automatically scale to your Sequence settings and pixel aspect ratio. If I see that some of them need adjustment using an external editor such as Photoshop, then and only then do I use that program. And by the way, if you have a vertical image and a 16 x 9 aspect ratio in FCP, how do you propose to crop it to fit? Perhaps you meant another term instead of "crop."
    3. If it's a print, it won't matter what size they supply because you'll control the image size when scanning. If it's a file ... once again, the size (pixel resolution) depends on what you intend to do with the image once in FCP.
    I really don't want to know WHY any of this is the way it is. I just want someone to say: "Do this; do this; and then do this."<<</div>
    With that attitude, how did you ever earn a PhD from an Ivy League university? But if that is truly all you want, you might consider hiring an experienced editor to do it for you.
