Orbino Cambio iPod Video Case

By Julie Strietelmeier / October 13, 2006 / Uncategorized / Audio, Video, TV, Cases and Covers, iPod, Leather / 2 Comments

I think that it’s safe to say that most of the gadget geeks that read this site will automatically think of one company when a person mentions the words leather and luxury in the same sentence. That company is Vaja. But did you all know that Vaja wasn’t the first company to bring opulent PDA / gadget cases to market? Before Vaja, there was a company in Italy called Ondata. Ondata later turned into Orbino. While not as prolific as Vaja, Orbino cases mix old world craftsmanship with a touch of industrial design.

I am going to take a tiny bit of credit for the product that I’ll be reviewing today, so if you like it, let me know. If you don’t like it…well, what’s not to like? Here’s the story: Soon after I purchased my PPC-6700, also known as the HTC Apache, I contacted Vaja and asked

EB Cases eNOVO PPC6700 for the HTC Apache / PPC-6700

By Judie Stanford / May 17, 2006 / Uncategorized / Cases and Covers, Leather, Pocket PC, Windows Phone / Leave a Comment

I think that many HTC Apache owners would agree that they use their PDA Phone without a headset more often than not. Even though the 6700 is a little brick, it can comfortably be held to the face when talking without making its owner look like a complete tool. For that reason alone, I think

Along with being an avid tech-guy, I’m a diehard runner. Over the years I’ve found the right shoes, clothes, music player, and accessories are important for an enjoyable run. My current mp3 player is the iPod Nano that I used in conjunction with an old Nike armband that was held in-place with velcro. It was

CoreCases is probably not a company that you’re familiar with yet. If their current offerings are any indication, that won’t be the ‘case’ for very long. I think they are going to give Innopocket a run for their money with their cool aluminum Sony PSP, and Apple iPod covers. Today I’m going to take a
