pretty dumb in my opinion. they just getting rid of non working vapor 4 and coloring them with special edition. people who are consider this should live under a cell tower.
must be. Very nice looking case I would be all over if it did not reduce the signal, was compatable with VZW device and cost was about half what they are asking for it. 🙄
If they could fix their reception issues then great but even the Pro that I had gave me GPS issues.
For an over $100 case it better not hinder the phone performance at all.
That Urban camo looks pretty good to me though. Same way I really like and own an AR15. I like the non-glare tactical look.

I like the Ion's (especially the khaki one) but at $60 plus $12 shipping, it just doesn't seem worth it to me.
They've got em $10 off* thru 7/5, but the $12 for shipping is steep.

Ah, thanks for that. Maybe I'll consider it now but that shipping price just seems so ridiculous. I wonder why their shipping has to be FedEx and can't offer USPS too.

Arctic Camo is sick. Not buying a spendy case though with the next iPhone not too far off in the future.
Have a Vapor Pro, but was thinking that the Ion 4 (in Khaki) looked kind of interesting for a change.

Great way to attract new "sheep" to fancy cases that render your phone utterly useless when installed.
Wow, sold out in a hurry.
Not that I was going to order one, but wow, they sold out fast. Still thinking about the Ion 4, however.

They looked pretty sweet, but because of that they sold out like in a day or two lol. 🙁
You are referring to the metal ones only I presume. I wasn't aware the TPU polymer degraded signal.
Against my better judgment I decided to deal with the ridiculous shipping cost and buy the khaki Ion case. We'll see how good it is when I get it (hopefully by the end of the week)

So did they gather up all their original, all aluminum cases, refinish them all fancy schmancy, and resell them?
