Guest 010967djg Posted June 10, 2011 Report Share Posted June 10, 2011 Hi, we have been looking for a leather effect case for our vegas for a while and read all forums and how the offical case is not that good? this week i found this on ebay they are based in the UK so i ordered 2 on the 7th June they arrived the morning of the 9th June, they look and fell quite good quality but time will tell but for under £15 delivered got to be worth a try? I hope this helps other vega usuers Visit My Website Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest trevor432990 Posted June 10, 2011 Report Share Posted June 10, 2011 Thanks for the info. Out of interest is there a hole cut-out for the headphone socket just that when I look at the picture of the side I can;t see one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest gingercat Posted June 10, 2011 Report Share Posted June 10, 2011 The latest version of the official case is much better than the original one and now actually stops the Vega falling out if you hold it in the "wrong" orientation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest premieral Posted June 10, 2011 Report Share Posted June 10, 2011 Looks as if it actually was made for the vega with cutouts for the card slots headphones etc, might just be tempted and get rid of this official case ;) good find Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest theeskimo Posted June 11, 2011 Report Share Posted June 11, 2011 Fanstasic! I bought the vega currys case in the last couple of days, so I'll just have to figure out a way to slip it back into the box and return it... ;) Can I just confirm that there's no way the vega will slip out of the case (as opposed to the flawed currys design) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest flip.c Posted June 11, 2011 Report Share Posted June 11, 2011 Just received my case, excellent! The Vega is held very snugly & I doubt it'll fall out easily. The Vega inserts from the top & is held closed by a Velcro strap, as the above poster has said. I bought a 10" laptop zip case for my Vega originally, and this new case with Vega will still fit inside. Phill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest chrisrich85 Posted June 11, 2011 Report Share Posted June 11, 2011 (edited) ive had a punt on this, its half the price of the official one so defo worth a shot. the official one IMHO just isnt worth £30 Bet this guy makes some £££ from us lol Edited June 11, 2011 by chrisrich85 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Burcotwoody Posted June 13, 2011 Report Share Posted June 13, 2011 Just taken delivery of one of these cases and very impressed. Ordered Friday evening and it arrived Monday morning. The Vega is held nice and secure and there is no way it can fall out. When closed it makes the Vega about the same size as an A4 diary so its not bulky at all. There is someone else now on Ebay selling a case that looks the same but is £12.99 and comes with a screen protector so this one may also be worth a look.

If you read the auction it is for a pre order stock coming on 19th June, i wouldn't be keen on that from ebay. Although the seller does have very good feedback so may be worth a try.

Although the seller does have very good feedback so may be worth a try. Well spotted, I hadn't clocked that. For the sake of £2.00 more though I would highly recommend the other one as he has stock. He has sold 81 in the last week so there should be plenty more comments about them soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
