VAJA Case or KRUSELL Case?

14 replies · 8,260 views · Started 27 June 2003

Hey peeps,

Need help deciding... I'm undecided on which one to get... I really like the VAJA case and I'm willing to pay, but is it worth the price? The Krusell case is cheaper... but does it work well? Will I be able to use it, access the programs with my stylus without removing the p800 from the case...?

Thanks a bunch... will post my comments regardless of which case I eventually get.

Mark.

Thanks sureban... that cover is interesting something like an in-between of the Piel Frama case and a Krusell Case...

But I'm still choosing between the VAJA and the Krusell though... and maybe even that condom-like silicon cover thingy from Martin Fields

I like the MF case also. I would like to wait and see more/higher quality photos first.

That covertec case photo is also a tease (not enough detail).

Can't comment on the Krussel case, but I have had the Vaja case (with ultra clip) for a little while now and still very happy with it.
Every function is available without taking the phone out of it's case. Keep in mind, the P800 will fit it's Vaja case without the keypad.

It is Krussel all the way for me. Krussel VS the Vaja case

1) Fully functioning, camera, earphone, cradle etc without having to remove the phone. Vaja cannot use cradle

2) Can include the flip, Vaja no

3) Small, light and tight fitting does not add bulk. Vaja is thick

4) Removable clip, attachment is flatish on the Krussel case, Vajas sticks out like an outie.

5) SUPERIOR protection for the screen and keypad, Vaja is so exposed.

6) Krussel is really cheap, it is USD12.00 in Singapore, DOML sells the Vaja at really much higher price.

The only thing is that the Krussel does not look so good (to some) but to me, protection and utility are utmost.

I like the Vaja case too and am willing to pay, but I use a Krussel-style case just for the convenience and protection. It's not looking great, but more business like style for everyday use 😊

I notice it says on the p800er.com site that the Krussel case has a leather "flap" to protect the screen, but there are no photo's (that I can find) that show this. Can someone post some photo's that show the flap (or point me to them if I'm just being stupid)?

Cheers

Testa Ross4,

Can u use the stylus function well even with the phone in the Krussel case?
I actually prefer having the flip-off so I use the stylus quite often...

Thanks for the info guys... I'm now just down to a decision between the Krusell and the Martin Fields Silicon Case... the condom like thingy... The VAJA seems to much to spend on... I might just get a bluetooth headset for roughly the same amount.

Th MF Silicon Case comes out mid-july... I'll post pics of whatever I get.

Markiee, you can use the stylus and touchscreen just like you would with a normal P800, ie. open the Krusell front flap and access the touch screen with stylus.

I too have been trying to decide if I want to get the Krussel case but then i could not see anything from their web site only like a picture...can someone please post pics of the thing and give your comments on your experience using the case or better yet, you can give me a web site which reviews the krussel case.. thanks...

The PF is one of the nicest cases out there. There is one big problem that a few people I have spoken to had with it. Their P800 will slide out of the case when they have it open. It isnt nice to drop a P800.

I really like the Krusell Classic case. You can see who is calling you and you can use it with the case closed and flip on. This provides nice protection for the phone.

I still really prefer the P800 without a case at all.

thanks for the info testa

rickpaul... I agree with you, i really would prefer the p800 without any case at all... thta's why i'm also considering the silicon case thingy from martin fields... its as close to be safe and naked for the p800.

You should try the PF Unipur case. The P800 fits in the right way up and the case is very well made. Black or brown.
