So i ended up ordering the Black Ops case last night. Just received shipping notice! Sweet! Pretty efficient of Element!

Fine. I consider myself completely insane at this point, but I just ordered a Black Ops myself. I hope everybody who has contributed to this thread is happy. :)

check aliexpress for discount ;)

Aliexpress is like an internet flea market filled with cheap, knockoff junk...

I've been hanging onto to my 3G holding out for the iPhone 5, but I may breakdown so that I can get a Black Ops. Any I4's for sale?!

Actually,I just ordered and received the Draco4 from there.I don't know if it's fake or real and how the real one look but the finish and the packaging looks great. Can't be happier. Also saved alot of $ too.;)

I'm not trying to convince anyone. Just telling you guys my experience. I think I've bought enough original aluminum cases to know about quality. This case's finish is much better than the "original" alumacase and the Sabre. Also no signal issues and GPS is spot on.
I didn't want to post this case on this thread but just to prove to you how nice it looks.;)

it does look pretty sleek. is there any lay on the table. from the looks it doesnt seem to but then i dont know how important that is.

Not really, probably a quarter millimeter raised edge. If thats important for you guys than I suggest you should stay away from this case.

Just to space age looking for me and I have seen several guys on here that reviewed it and it was a signal killer for both of them. Not my taste but everyone likes something different.

Lol, actually I think the price is still too high for this case, maybe because they're only available on this site two weeks ago. I think give them a couple more weeks the price should come down a bit more. Still' I'm very happy with the price I paid and the performance of this case.

I think the site is down for maintenance or something but here's the link anyway: http://www.aliexpress.com/product-g...ne-4-bumper-Deff-Cleave-case-wholesalers.html

Yea, I've seen their review also, but I never put any weight on anyone's review. Sorry, but I always have different experiences with my cases.
I love the vapor pro too but I don't want to spend that much on cases anymore. I bought too many already. So now I'm going with the bootleg route:D.
