Pricey leather cases by Vaja for Sony VAIO P Series

While we know how pricey the Sony VAIO P Series may already be, we didn’t get to really try it out and get hands on with it recently. After having done that at the Gadget Show Live recently, we truly agree that if you had the desire and the money to spend on the new Sony portable beast then you should also drop your coin on this, Vaja’s leather made “ivolution suit”.

The ivolution suit is a stylish leather case that wraps around your P Series nicely and stays intact on opening and closing. There are a few different designs, starting from $180, they are handcrafted and of course customisable.

However, if you don’t want to spend nearly 200 smackers for a decent looking one you might also want to consider the “classic Retro Slim Jacket” which is basically a leather envelope that doesn’t offer as much protection but still gives a distinct stylish design.
