Definitely a marketing/publicity release and not a review.

This part gives it away:
The leading provider of custom, high-grade accessories for Apple iPhone and iPad,.........

Holy cow. Did anyone read the comment vs just hitting the link. It's at the bottom of the page!!!!!!!!!!!
 
Brainstorm on those 12 parts....

Metal Half A 1
Metal Half B 2
Screw A 3
Screw B 4
Helicoil A (for screw A) 5
Helicoil B (for screw B) 6
Volume Button A 7
Volume Button B 8
Power Button 9
"hi-tech elastomer" for Metal Half A 10
"hi-tech elastomer" for Metal Half B 11
Epoxy / Glue for Elastomer A and B 12

There ya go. ;)

Nice try, but no volume buttons just power.
1. Aluminum blocks for making case.
2. Power button
3. High tech insert
4. Screws
5. Allen wrenches
6. Vendor that does the coloring?
7. Vendor for printing materials
8. Vendor for packaging
10, 11, and 12 are probably more than one vendor for 1-8.
 
wow, I have never seen so much time and energy spent on a bumper that no one has seen. I have seen obsession, but over a bumper....
 
You should voice your issues directly to them perhaps they'll give you a free case for all your troubles

Btw..all you fools who talk smack about EC should stop hiding behind their call sign and use their real name...or y'all afraid of getting your order cancelled LMAO!!! that would really prove if EC employees are on this board...ya want to be the guinea pig 101?

(and no, I'm not an employee of EC...but I have met the owner once at a moto show and I do love their products!)
 
Anyone else think that the Vapor case will make food also for the price we paid? Maybe it will even make copies of itself. :p
 
Honestly, at this point, anyone who's joined MacRumors within the past month has ZERO credibility when it comes to information relating to this particular vendor / case.

As for real names.... it's the interwebz. Do you really expect ANYONE to be genuine on here? ... Because if you do, I've got a really nice machined aluminum case I'd like to sell you. ;)

John Gruber just got one in, he said it was made out of cardboard and superglue with the side piece being magnetic and not bolts. :p
 
I am still waiting for sizzurp to post his pictures of his element case he claims to have received. He has had a few days to figure out "the Internet machine" and his failing camera. He is too busy on other threads talking about all the 3GS cases he has or is buying.

Come on sizzurple we have offered 70 to produce pictures, would almost pay for the case..

That's a pretty strange statement. You have been here a lot longer than I have so you should have way more knowledge about a case that no one has ever seen.
That makes perfect sense. I didn't know long time members got the gift of ESP for their 1000 post., sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeet! I'll be looking forward to that.
 
Just wanted to mention that I have been reading this thread since the beginning and I have not received ANY shipment or any other email from Elementcase.
My order number is 26xx and put in on July 1st.
Pretty sure I would have been in the first group(s) shipped.....nothing.
I also chose the fastest black/black combo which hasn't helped either.
Not looking good....

How do you know you're one of the firsr people to order just because you ordered July 1st? They told me they released the Vapor a day before the press release of july 1. Which could mean 100s or even thousands of people could have placed orders before july 1. What if your order # correlates to the order in which it was received? So that would mean you're the 2000 something customer? I doubt you'd be in the 1st Group..I mean really...how many cases you think they can ship out in a day? I doubt 1000. When i registered I called to confirm and they said I was # 17xxx for just registration, not pre-order..that scares me because God knows when I'll get to place my order let alone receive the Vapor. I have no idea what my # translates to

I was actually able to place my order and payed for it.
They didn't go to the "registration" mode until later that day.
I got an email right after thanking me for my order....which also had my order number on it.
I never went through the email that says it's time to order.
Hopefully I was one of the early buyers that will see one sooner than later.

Really think about this here - you expect me to believe someone who signed up yesterday with 3 posts when they chime in about this case, and that's it? I'm retarded, but I'm not that retarded.

As for the ESP - that doesn't kick in until you reach G3 status.
 
some guy just said 4xxx orders will be going out at the end of this week via phone call.

WTF

So that means i should be getting my F#$^%$#%$ tracking # today, since my order # is 26xx. I ordered blac/black also, and was told mine was suppose to ship at the end of last week, or early this week. Tuesday, is the last day of early for a week. lol, if it gets to wednesday, that means its the middle of the week. So today is suppose to be SHIP DAY DAMNITTTTTTTTT

Oh and to comment on the Order #'s. Rarely do companies start their order #'s with 1's. So if someone had 2000, it may actually be the first order
