As our reader Ben who sent in the tip
noted, Orbino cases might just give Vaja a run for their money when it comes to luxe cases for your gadgets. Their Orbino Cambio case for the video iPod is made of
leather that is stitched by hand with waxed thread. The case features Orbino's spring-loaded combination belt clip and
desk stand in polish palladium metal and a precious metal scroll wheel frame mounted with microscrews. The case has a
cut-out for the charger and sells for $65. Orbino also makes gorgeous Italian leather handbags and stunningly beautiful
and functional laptop cases.[Thanks, Ben]

I ordered a case and just like you didn't hear anything yet... I am stsrting to wonder if this place is still open. They charged my credit card though... I have been trying to get some answers but nothing. Same as you... I didn't call their number yet. I keep sending e-mail request for information. If you e-mail at: info@orbino.com you will get an error message back. I am really starting to wonder here... My item is a black leather casing for video Ipod 30g. I got a memo when I ordered that it was on back order, but now I am wondering if it is a fraud or something...

I ordered a case for a Video Ipod 30 Gig and received the wrong Case altogether. So they do exist and the product is real. However i ordered my case 2 months ago and haven't received the correct case and I'm holding on to the wrong case for insurance on my 65.00 charge.
