It's actually great marketing and a great business model. I applaud a company that doesn't patronize banks to fund an unknown concept. This way they take in an enormous amount of cash on pre-orders and fund the purchase of machining equipment with cash not borrowed money. If more companies would do things like this we would not be in the financial boat we are currently in. By the way Vapor.....HURRY UP I WANT MY CASE!!!😀

On one hand you are saying how smart they are to collect money from customers without any product to deliver and then on the other hand you finish your comment with "Hurry up, I want my case". At this point, don't you think at least 1 forum member would have their case and could post a few real pictures of the case. This "business model" stinks more each day....

I think they probably intended to do some kind of just-in-time process model but grossly underestimated initial demand. It's hard to get started in that scenario.

If what you are saying is true, don't you think they by now they could have delivered at least few cases and we would be getting some feedback from the first few to get one. Wake up...

Your statement has no validity. I bought the case and did not care about spending $100 on a case for a $700 phone and never said I had a problem waiting for it. I simply stated facts about a company that has no transparency in their operations and in turn create a lot of negative customer feedback.

You sir should go back to the hole you came from as your comment is useless.

Where does it say that all companies have to have transparency. Apple certainly doesn't. It would be nice but not required.

They did send us an email telling us what was going on with the orders. What more do you want from them? The situation is what it is. They are communicating and this company has a history of producing quality products.

I would send the first few cases out to blogs and websites for review... that is where we should see the first pictures. Can't believe that hasn't happened by now.

I also still want to know if they offer an actual ALL black model...so far all their renders show silver/whatever color option.

Did you not read my reply to you 3 pages back? If you pre-registered you would know because it gives you the option to choose "Black/Black" = All black

nope I didnt see it. Sorry...there has been a lot of posts.

I did pre-order, and that is the option I chose and I figured that would be what it meant, but every render so far shows silver/xxx so I was slightly confused and just confirming.
 
I get $30 back on my iPhone bumper so now the Vapor is only $50!

Will be getting one soon!

Not sure about carbon back though....will wait to see some pics/reviews.
 
I'd buy this if Apple didn't offer it, not that they will. But, that horrible branding on the side makes it look so pointless. Very nice though.
 
You are out of your mind if you think Apple is going to buy $80 phone cases for this give-away. I would imagine that the only case on the list that retails for more than $5 will be the Apple Bumper.
 
I wish they did, but it will probably be Bumpers, Reveals, iFrogz.. uhmm.. Thats probably it I'd think.
