Some of the best iPad cases out there for Christmas aren’t new, so they might not be fresh in your mind. So periodically in the next 10 days I’ll be doing a sort of year-end best-of reposts with the most gorgeous and in-demand cases we saw in 2010.

It’s been awhile since we’ve heard from Vaja, but, wow, they are beautifully back. This time they’re packing some of the most lavishly high-end leather iPad cases we’ve seen to date. They’re numerous, and they’re gorgeous, and ready to make you stand out from the Incase crowd. Nearly all of thier designs are hand-crafted – literally. Which means you need to wait for them to make it. There’s a modest turnaround time of +/- 35 days, so if you order one be prepared to wait while it’s meticulously crafted just for you. The price is justified by the incredible worksmanship they’re putting out as you can see in the high-res pictures. You won’t find better leather than what Vaja is using, it’s plush and supple like executive chair, just take a look at the Matalasse model, it looks more comfortable than my bed!
Vaja has 12 models in total each with different names such as the iVolution, Leather Agenda, and Top Crystal (featuring Swarovski crystals), which range in price from $100-$350 for the crystal encrusted number. It’s cool because they have models in all sorts of vibes…you have your sporty cases, business cases, some that fit young, some skewing older, some women’s styles, Vaja hit every demo, so props to marketing!
Also available is a STUNNING leather iPad messenger bag, but unfortunately it’s out of stock. We’ll be doing a full preview of that one soon.
These are pricy, but chances are if you could afford to be an early adopter of an iPad you won’t mind dropping a couple Benjy’s on a beautiful case for it. Three of the basic styles are available now with no wait, but remember there’s a 35 day turnaround time on the handcrafted models, so get those orders in now!
