Obviously you have never owned both cases!! The Vapor is heads above the e13!! Hands down and yes I have owned several of each, still do as a matter of fact!
I got the matte grey top and black matte bottom. It's an awesome looking combo and makes the phone look great. I added an iCarbon black carbon fiber skin on the back. I also had my first iPhone drop today. Getting out of my car it hit the pavement. The case did a great job of protecting the phone. No bruises except on the case. It's a bummer because at $80 plus I feel like I need a case for the case. Oh well that's what it's there for and it did the job.
That's the exact combo I was thinking of getting, but was worried that the combo might look weird as they're both dark, but slightly different. Can you put up some pics?
Sure. I'll post a pic here shortly.
Not the best pics but I think it'll help you make a choice. Let me know if you need more.

I'm torn between the hybrid black back but it's between blue,light grey or dark grey now thanks to them pics lol. Can you just order the case plus a different colour top separate ?
This thread sold me on the e13tron case.
I knew this was the case for me right away, the hard part was just to figure out what color combo I wanted.
I was also looking at the Vapor Spectra but the e13tron was just a much better deal with the option to create your own color combinations and create more in the future. Great idea! The 15% discount coupon was just the icing on the cake
I ended up with going for matte dark grey bottom and blue top for my white iphone. I didn't see the combo in this thread, hopefully it will turn out good. Will post pictures when I recieve them.
Thanks for all the help and pictures sharing from all the posters in this thread!

Man that looks sharp....ugh, what a tough decision. I'm definitely going hybrid with the matte all around, but both your dark grey and the black look damn good...
Was surprised to find out this company is located in the same town where I live. So I stopped by and picked up a case for my 4GS. The owner gave it to me for $50, so it seemed like a pretty good deal to me.
They had the white backs, but it seemed like they would get pretty dirty to me. I have a power support crystal on the front and back, and it works fine with those. All though I had the Wrapsol side protectors on, and the case wouldn't fit correctly so I had to remove them. Sorry for the quick pictures.

Yes its the matte red face plate. The owner said the chrome was easier to clean, but I like the matte options better
Hey VidPro --
Is that the dark grey or light grey? Looks amazing and would love to copy you.
Hey VidPro is that on the iphone 4 or 4S. If its the 4S hows the signal strength? thanks
Dark grey matte on top and matte black on the bottom.

4S and I haven't noticed any issues or dropped calls.
I just got my matte dark gray front matte black back case in today. looks really cool, especially with the clear back glass case from one of these Chinese sellers. gives the phone a very industrial look. I do find the find to be a bit wide in my hands. but I love the overall form factor and the look of it. I change cases way too often. for what I have invested in this configuration, I will keep it a while.
