cons:
optional belt clip a little bulky, case could be broken if crushed (without ipod inside).

Sharp and precise cut-outs in the
plastic gives access to the iPod's four menu touch buttons and the feather-light
scroll wheel, allowing the iPod to be fully functional and usable whilst in the
case.
Cut-out's for connecting the iPod Sync/Charge cable and headphones...
A bottom cut-out in the leather
allows the iPod to be connected to the iPod Sync & Charge cable - again without
removing the iPod from the case. The top of the case has a whole section cut-out
to allow access to the 'Hold' button on the top of the iPod and headphone /
remote jacks.

Customer Options:
Personalisation - there are just hundreds of different colours and colour
combinations to choose from when ordering your case. From just simple plain colours,
to combining two different colours for the back and front of the case, your case is
surely to be unique from the next and the choices are totally up to you...
I received the case in the Caterina White / Caterina Lilac Grey combination.
Caterina is the name of the leather type used for the i-Vod3G cases. Caterina is
a soft, extremely durable and resistant leather type that is highly recommended
for hard usage.
Just a selection of the many colours available...
As well as the hundreds of available colours you also have the option to order the case with or without the belt clip which means the back of the case will be flat. A neat option is to have your case personalised with your name (or company name) on the back of the case. Vaja will emboss up to twenty characters in a single line, using a special laser engraving system:

Belt Clip:
Dubbed the "Ultra Clip" (fits
belts up to 1.8'' wide). A nickel coated bronze pin is securely woven into the
back of the case, to which the belt clip attaches to. The Ultra Clip can
withstand pulling forces in excess of 130 pounds in any direction. It meets or
exceeds the needs of anyone who is carrying expensive electronics.
Made entirely of high resistance
plastic, the Ultra Clip needs to be turned 90º while the top button is depressed
to install and remove thus reducing the possibility of accidental pop-outs.
Once the case is seated in the clip, you are able to swivel it (and the iPod
inside) through 360º.

Conclusion:
The
Vaja I-Volution i-Vod3G Case for Apple iPod is an extremely well built
and high quality case. Once the Apple iPod has been slid into the case there is
no concern about it falling out as the case fits so snuggly and 'holds' your
expensive iPod in place.
Removing the iPod can be a little difficult as you need to push it up through
the Sync/Charge cut-out, till you can pull it out from the top, however once the iPod is in the i-Vod3G there is no real need to keep taking it out as you can
still use the iPod fully while its in the case, thanks to all the cleverly
designed cut-outs that the
case has.
The iPod in the i-Vod3G...
With the various customisation and
personalisation options available, the i-Vod3G can quickly become the case that
you want it to be and its highly unlikely that any other iPod owner that you know will
not have the same case in terms of looks.
Not many case companies offer such a range of colours and customisation options to
their customers. A neat option is to have your name or company name embossed on
the rear of the case which can be useful for
identification purposes and personalisation, etc...
The i-Vod3G's craftsmanship and attention to detail are impeccable therefore making
this case a real winner for iPod owners everywhere and placing it
at the top of their shopping list.
