I believe he will if you ask him. It wont be through the Aliexpress site, but I believe people from the Vapor Pro thread have paid using paypal. you could message him and check. He's online now. Here's the link to his store home page:

That is what I plan on doing, thanks!

No but you can tell from my name since you can see my name on the order that I am female, no mistaking that. Unless there is a man names Monique, he couldn't possibly think I was a man, at least I hope not LOL
Can you tell from a Chinese name if it is a female or male name? Don't be so sure he would know Monique is a female name. Besides, his name is Jackie...isn't that very female?
So, give up on the sexist thing. It was probably just a language thing.

Jackie Kennedy ring a bell? So, my point exactly: you can't always go by the name to decide the gender.
Different cultures have different views on names.
For example, Alex could be both a girls name or a guys name here.
Jackie could be both a girls or a guys name in china. Besides, in China, everyone has a Chinese name AND an American name.
Ignorance to different cultures isn't a great excuse.

My point is, it may be what it is here, but its different in every country. So no, not "everyone" knows this.
Jacky got back to me to me and said the reason the statement was made was because someone else complained of the fit and he was worried that I would do the same and as he put it, "try and make trouble" so that is that.
I have no problems saying I was wrong, when I am. So yeah I was wrong, glad to get a response though.
So he stopped selling the case for a while, took it down off his page because of the fit issue and didn't want more problems.

I wonder why someone would have to give him a hard time about the case not fitting..? He was sympathetic and perfectly willing to make things right for me..
He said it should be "soon" that we see the next series of e13ctrin cases. I can't imaging much would change other than the fitment issues being fixed..
well he shipped out my replacement and the Deff case I ordered yesterday. So I'm hoping to get it wednesday-ish of next week.
My replacement backplates shipped on tuesday so hopefully those get here around the same time
next week should be a happy week I was at the post office today and picked up my orange/silver S4 Pro case! It was sent as registered mail, very well packaged in a lot of bubble wrap. 10-11 days to Sweden. I ordered from Jackie Nie.
The quality seems very good and it fits perfectly. The iPhone does not move at all within the case, like what happened to the thread starter. It is solid as a rock!
I have pretty bad reception where I live, but I have not seen much signal loss, if any, so far with the case on.
I had around -105 db with my Apple bumper, around -98 when it was naked and around -109 with the S4 Pro. But for all measurements the signal was fluctuating a lot.
I got the silicone handstrap with mine, but I'm not using it.
So far, after an hour with the case, I'm very happy!

Wow, nice pictures! I was thinking about getting one too. I was just wondering, is that an iPhone 4 or 4s?
That looks really nice on that white iPhone! Congrats! I need to find another camera to take pictures of the case on my phone. I put an aluminum backplate on and I think it looks pretty slick
Thanks! It's a 4S, that's why I got the S4 Pro version which has the bigger hole for the silent switch and volume buttons.
I wanted to know because I don't know if this case would have a negative effect on the iPhone 4 reception.
So the fitment problems from my case are from the plastic inserts. They still sit on my antenna, but just barely. They don't perfectly fit around the glass, so thats why the phone can slide up and down in the aluminum bumper.. Sad day.
I'm thinking I might get some thin strips of foam and sorta fill in the gaps between the screen and the bumper. If I use black, no one could tell, it'll keep debris out of the gaps, and should keeps phone from sliding. Not sure where I'm gonna find that though. Maybe I'll use some felt instead. We'll see what I come up with..

How come your first picture kind of shows your case with 3 colors? like silver/white/orange an the following pictures show only 2 colors? Or is it your camera?
That'll be because of the reflection mostly. Going by hat picture though, three colors would look pretty cool
@hizzaah, have you been able to further test reception on this case?
I ask because i bought a sword case which was also mostly solid all around and my reception went to crap in the hand basket, so much so that my battery almost died with one hour i guess because the phone kept on trying to acquire a signal.
I really want an aluminum case like this one that does not have bump (raise) on the side like the vapor pro but so far the vapor pro is the only one that does not change the reception on me.
