What's an "ultra clip?"

gilmour25

Um... it's a LOT more than $50. Per their website:

$69.90 (for the basic holder)
+$4.00 with 1 c.c. slot and a money pocket
+$4.00 with a cushioned cover
+$4.00 with an "ultra clip"

You're looking at the custom cases. Look at the main page of the DJ Cases listed on their website. It shows $49.90 (or something like that). However, as stated by Chris and on the Vaja website, they are currently out of the Classic case. Keep in mind that shipping will increase the price a good bit though, as it is shipping from Argentina.

REVIEW:
Vaja Cases (www.vajacases.com) : Dell DJ Mp3 Player : Classic Case

I have been looking for a decent case for the Dell DJ since I first purchased it. The different types of cases had different features lacking. There are some cases available that offer a bit of style with mediocore protection. But, needless to say, not one case that I have previously used has been able to offer the protection that the original case that was included with the DJ 20 did. The obvious problems with this case include its immense size, as well as its dull look. After browsing the web for weeks, I stubbled upon a company named Vaja who produces quality leather cases for a variety of handheld items such as cell phones and mp3 players.

First Impressions:
After stumbling upon the Vaja website, I contacted them and inquired them about their case for the Dell DJ. The head of marketing responded back to my email within a period of two days each time I contacted her. I did not speak with anyone else within the company, but my experience with the woman who I spoke to was very pleasurable and professional. Within one week of my initial contact with Vaja, I recieved my Dell DJ via FedEX. I received the package in New Jersey within two days of it being sent from Argentina. When I first opened the package that I received from Vaja Cases, I was extremely impressed. The case had style and it seemed that it would offer more protection than any other case, yet still provided easy access to the necessary buttons. The headphone/ remote buttons are exposed for easy use. There are also a cutout for the power, volume, record, and reset buttons. The only thing that could be added would be a button for the mic, but that doesn't seem to major. Basically, the entire device is protected when closed, but the lower corners are exposed -- inevitable due to the way the case is built. These areas are still protected though. There is no plastic in the entire case. The actual buttons and screen are has a cutout which is exposed when open. There was a lot of thought put into this. One would not need plastic in this cutout area, because it would be protected when closed and being transported. One thing I have to mention, I love the packaging that this came in!


Initial Usage & Others Opinions:
The case which I was provided is a tan-brown color. Even though the style has impressed just about all of the people whom I have shown, the color has had a varying effect. The women seemed to love the case with its color. The men on the other hand, showed interest in the case, but were not so impressed with the color. Either way, buyers can customize their case and colors when ordering from Vaja Cases online. The important part that has been agreed upon by various people whom have been able to use the case via my DJ is that the case is clearly sturdy and stylish.


After One Week:
I have used the case for my DJ whenever I took it out of the house and even sometimes at home. The way the case flap was built is very good. I have used it to stand the DJ up without any other accessories. It also provides good protection for when I put the DJ into the change holder in my car. The case I reviewed came with a belt clip. I found this to be very useful at times when i did not have a pocket to put it in. I find myself not worrying that the DJ is going to get scratched. When I had other cases I was very scared about my new mp3 player getting scratched. I even got some comments from IPOD Users! This case has been able to provide me with the style that was missing from the DJ.
Although I haven't dropped my DJ in the case this week, if the flap is closed it looks like it will be well protected. One thing that could have been changed is if the top hole where the stereo headphones plugin were made a tiny bit wider (top to bottom). This would allow for an L-Shaped headphone to remain plugged in while opening and closing the flap. I have noticed after looking at the case that the stitching used makes the case look much better. Oh yeah, and I like the way they put their miniature logo in silver on the front of the case.

Overall Opinion and Recommendation:
I will be using this case for myself and I am going to recommend this style of case from Vaja to anyone with an IPOD, Dell DJ, or Nomad. There has been no case that I have used that has been so nice all around. It is clearly a top quality case. I would rate it a 9.8 out of 10 with the only minor problem being the lack of hole for the mic. This is extrememly minor and did not bother me at all during the first week. The price may seem high to many, but when one truely thinks about, its a bargain. A terrible case purchased directly from Dell retails at about $30. For $50, Vaja provides you with an excellent case, made of awesome leather, that has nothing wrong with it. The lack of improvements needed speaks for itself. This case does not need to be modifyed, because I feel that it is as good as a case gets. Overall, I would consider this a very luxurious case.

My Recommendation: Buy It!

i agree, its an awesome case, mine is in black which i think looks better with the DJ

Best. Case. Ever.
I've had one for my Clie for over 1.5 yrs, and it still looks brand new... and I abuse the thing (I use it as my wallet)
