3.0 out of 5 stars Nice Case by Not so Good Designer, September 27, 2009

This review is from: Sony VGP-CVP1 VAIO Leather Cover for P Series Lifestyle (Black) (Personal Computers)

This case has a pretty nice design and appearance to it; however, the designer could have done a better job. The instructions are really clear and easy to follow, but it still doesn't work the way one may hope it would. The way the case sticks to the computer is with adhesives, a rubbery like tape, and velcro on the bottom. There's no need to worry about the rubbery like adhesive scratching the surface of your precious Vaio P; however, that's not the big problem with this case. The most annoying part of it all is that the adhesive tends to unstick from the Vaio, causing the top "flap", or top part of the case, from falling off. As the case gets older, this will happen more often. Sony does include extra adhesive, but I still don't feel that issue should occur. It started happening on my case from the second day.

I received this case as a gift, so I'm not sorry I received it, and I really did want this case because it looks so nice. Now that I have tried it, I would go for n other Sony case, or even a third party case. If you really want a leather case, and are willing to spend $200 on real leather, I would suggest a Vaja case. I have a Vaja case for my MacBook and it is close to perfect, and I'm tempted to get one for the Vaio P; I should start saving for it though.
