Overview Vaja case from my Visor days and love the attention to detail that the company used in designing the case. Piel Frama is another company that pays attention to its leather selection and focuses on designing a high-quality case for a discriminating business user.

The Leather
interesting link that goes into details on the manufacturing process that Piel Frama uses. The inside of the case is engraved with a message saying "The product you have just acquired has been hand-made by Piel Frama leather craftsmen, so each piece is unique." The leather is soft, and all three versions of the case look great.
does look like crocodile leather. So how does it compare with the less expensive stylings? I personally liked the Crocodile case more. It looks much snazzier, and I got several compliments on it when I had it out during meetings. The other cases look almost plain after using it for a few days. The Tan case is unique in being the only one I have seen with a matching colored beltclip. If you can afford it, go for the Crocodile version, and save Black and Tan for the pub.

Treo 600's photography abilities , but then I realized that the lid would get in the way anyway. Speaking of the lid, there is a hole cutout near the bottom of it whose purpose I still have not figured out. It does allow one access to the Treo's spacebar when closed (lot of good it will do you!). I would have rather the hole be at the top (maybe it was upside down!) so I could speak on the phone with the lid closed. A mesh screen covers the speaker, which I thought was a nice detail.
