Vaja RI61 Blackberry 8700 Classic Pouch

Dave Rees — Thu, 21 Dec 2006 23:55:00 +0000

The Vaja Classic Pouch for the Blackberry 8700 has been my most anticipated case in quite a long time. This was primarily due to the fact that my stock belt-clip holder has been broken for some time now and the clip was rubbing/marring my device. While being very utilitarian, this horizontal ‘pouch’ has all the Vaja style and craftsmanship that we have come to love & expect.

This is a review of a mini PDA that is more of a novelty item than a real

I’m a REX 5000 user, and I find the little device quite useful, though not quite “indispensable” as my cell phone would be. I recently “upgraded” to the REX 6000 and found the experience less than entirely satisfactory.

The C.E.O. (Classic, Elegant, One-of-a-kind) case by MarWare
is a leather play-through type case that comes in black or burgundy. This case earns
instant points from me because it doesn’t require you to put Velcro on the body of your
Newton! Your MP2xk is held in place by two elastic bands and by sliding the screen cover
of the MP into a leather sleeve. Because of this sleeve, you really only need to use one
of the elastic bands. It’s best to use the … [visit site to read more]

Are you a couch potato? Love movies and TV? If so, welcome to the club! I am a big movie and TV fan and own a DSS satellite system. With all those channels, I sometimes miss shows that I didn’t know were on. I don’t really like paper TV guides because they aren’t easy to search through.
