It's suede, kinda of a pale red in person, and it's not grippy at all...it's suede! The case in the matte red is a nice wine color, that has a nice feel.
I have a few of their other cases, the profile and machining is excellent, great feel in the hand, buttons easy to push, but sometimes you experience signal loss. If they change material and getaway from the metal, they'll be hot sellers...hint, hint!
 
I got my nickle Vapor4 today (shipped last week. To The Netherlands). It looks great and it makes the iPhone real solid.

i only got one problem. The small part (right side) is totaly scratched.

I have send a mail to ElementCase how they can solve my problem.
Hopefully they can send me a Right part so i don't have to send the whole thing back.

Edit: I am on Vodafone and got the same Signal and even GPS hase a quick and normal fix.
 
I never have any problems with the wireless signal or wifi but it sure does screw with the GPS sometimes. I removed the case when it was displaying my location was off and the immediate removal of the case, the GPS pinpointed my location and tracked me like it should.

Don't know if anyone else ever mentioned this but I do love how the sound is better now. Especially while holding in landscape. My hands don't block the speaker port so there is no loss of sound, even if covering the entire bottom.

Please post a high-def picture or link i want to take a close look at how the tarnish looks. Does it smell funny by the way or make your hand smell funny after you hold it?

i would like to see vapor make a effort on changing the design just to let everyone know that they are addressing the signal problems... instead of coming out with new cases with same design. jmo

The new vapor pro has a plastic piece that goes around the antenna part which is supposedly supposed to fix all problems. Saw it in the vid with the guy in las vegas. Whether that will work or not I have no clue lol elements new products look nice tho

If you want a knockoff, check ebay, prices ranging from 17$ - 30$ shipped.

Do a seach for "zinc iphone". I ordered 2 of them. just received a black one with orange cap. The fit is identical to my friend's vapor. No issues with signal so far, fingers crossed. Have not checked GPS, since I rarely use that function. last time I used the GPS, it ate up 20% of the battery charge within 20 minutes :p
 
Are there any problems fitting in third party audio jacks into this case?

For example, Monster Beats Headphones or the Monster Jamz.
 
I will buy one more vapor ....but dont know which model....007 or Satin nickel?? what do you think guys?

I'd probably go for the 007 as I'm not a big fan of the Satin Nickel and the changes that it will go through.

Here are a few pics of the tarnished Nickel Vapor originally posted by Bogart24 awhile back. There's a couple of more pics on page 95 of this thread.
