Are you noticing that dust, pet hair, etc gets trapped between the case and the phone? Thanks.

I also don't think anyone has had the case long enough for anything to get into the case. Maybe in a month or so, people will report whether or not dust/hair/crap will be getting in between the case.

I recommend boiling in 3 inches of water after bringing the water to a rolling boil. About 2:30 to ensure a quick dry with no water marks you can briefly submerge the bumper in a separate container of bleach.

" And a nice chianti" :D

Sorry man, couldn't help myself. Your post read like a recipe.

That's because almost nobody if anybody has one yet! ;) I think that is 99.9% of the problem with the case!

I know! i dont wanna drop 80 bones on something i dont totally like, i suppose i could get it, and if i dont like it send it back for a refund, and i would just be out shipping costs.

i got my email from element saying i can order, not sure if im going to. My main concern is that gap between the case and the phone, how much dust does it accumlate, will said dust scratch my phone ect. Anyone?

The inside of the Vapor case is lined with a very high tech shock absorbing material that reduces the G-forces of an impact. It also creates
a non-conductive barrier to help maintain the iPhone's antenna signal strength.

did you read this thread https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/988639/ almost everybody is complaining they don't have it. pretty hard to return something until you have it. ;) plus if it's that hard to get what do you think the return process will be like! :eek:

I have version 1 and after 3 days of use I took off the case just to see if their was a bunch of crap in the case and to my surprise it was very minimal to none. As far as dust scratching the case I don't see how this could happen since the phone is very secure in the case ie no movement.

Good, thats the answer i was looking for. I have a SPG matte incredible shield wrapped around the outside anyways, but i still wanted to know. Ill likely place my order, and if i dont like it just return it. The element case site says nothing about a 30 day returnor anything, so it seem slike i can take my time.

Don't think you'd have any problem selling it if you didn't want it either.
