I have just received my Vaja Flip Top case. I must admit that the case is as beautiful as it is functional. I was using the Rhodiana for a while, but when I saw the Vaja, I just had to get it, and I'm definitely pleased. However, when I received the case, and upon careful inspection, I noticed there were a couple of "problems" with the case I received and I am wondering if there were other Vaja users out there (or any leather case users) that might be able to shed some light on my situation.
When I examined the case carefully, I noticed that there were two stitches that were loose. They are both on the back of the case. One is below the belt clip knob in the corner (it's either the first or the last stitch), and another one is above and to the right of the reset hole.
My concern is that since they are both on the back of the case where it will get alot of friction from clipping it on and off the belt clip, they probably will have a high chance of freying off. I'm wondering if it will affect the integrity of the case.
Does anyone have any experience with something similar of loose stitches on leather cases? What would your advice be? Is there anything to really be concerned about?
Any comments or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

I didn't have any loose stitches, but if it is at the beginning or end, I imagine it is overrun...I'd just trim the excess and maybe use candle wax to hold it in place. DO NOT drip hot candle wax on your new case...just use some slightly warmed to hold the stitch in the needle hole...use a little bit just like hair gel and it should do fine...
