Vaja SD Keeper Case Review
Posted Feb. 2005 by Tong Zhang, Senior Editor

With the increasing amount of digital content on our PDAs, notebooks, even cell phones, we see our storage card collection growing rapidly. As a result, we seek out ways to store and carry these cards safely as they are small and easy to misplace. Vaja Cases, a well known PDA case maker, has introduced a line of products that will help you keep your storage card collection in one safe place. They currently offer three SD card carrying cases for storing 2, 4 and 6 SD cards; one Memory Stick case that stores 6 Memory Sticks (VA41 model) and one combination case that can store 2 SD cards and 4 Memory Sticks (VA21). We received the SD Keeper cases for this review.

The SD Keeper and the SD Keeper X4 have Vaja’s signature i-Volution case style. Like many PDA users, we are big fans of i-Volution line of cases and have reviewed the P800 case and PDA cases in this line. The i-Volution cases feel rigid because they are integrated with three ABS layers that provide great protection for what’s stored inside. The SD Keeper cases continue to use this durable design along with high quality leather and an integrated spring system that allows you to put in and take out the cards easily.

Another distinct feature in the i-Volution line is you can customize your case with any color, solid or combination. The colors range from professional to playfully vibrant, but always tasteful. You can choose the SD Keeper cases from 30 basic colors and hundreds of color-combo choices. Like other i-Volution cases, the SD Keeper cases wear the silver Vaja logo on the cover. The cases are made with fine grain leather that feels smooth and looks classy.

Both SD Keeper cases have a magnetic closure that keeps the case securely shut. The spring system built into the cases work similarly to the SD card slots in PDAs. You can simply push your card into the slot until you hear a “click” that tells you the card is securely in place, or push down on the card to spring it out of the slot. This is a great design that not only makes it easy for you to handle the cards but also provides them with maximum protection.

The SD Keeper which can store 2 SD cards or MMC cards measures 1 5/8 x 2 1/8 x 5/8 inches and is priced from $29.90. The SD Keeper X4 measures 2 5/8 x 2 x 6/8 inches and is priced from $39.90. The price of the cases is higher if you choose customized colors.

Conclusion

A great way for your storage cards to travel with you in style and in safety!

Pros: Very stylish and eye catching design. Great protection in i-Volution style. A large number of color combinations ensure everyone find something that suite their taste. The push spring system is an ingenious design.

Con: None.

Price: Starting from $29.90 (2 SD/MMC case); $39.90 (4 SD/MMC case)
