This case is the biggest tease in the history of teases. Man I want that nickel case...but the signal loss just kills it for me. I can't pay $100 to make my phone work less well.
Best looking case in history, but the signal lost will be that bad it'll turn your iphone into an ipod. (or simulates how it would be if your carrier was vodafone ... LOL)
Nickel Case and Signal
I sure agree about the beauty of this case - I've had mine for about 2 weeks and it's just now beginning to show very faint areas of tarnishing - and I'm loving it! It looks and feels like serious metal which is the perfect compliment for this phone. I get more comments on this little nickel band than all of the other cases I've owned over the years - combined.
And signal - I haven't noticed any drop at all, but that said - I live in the Kansas City metro area and the signal is pretty good all over town. I've always gotten 2+ bars (with 3-4 being most common) just about everywhere and that hasn't changed. I suppose you might experience a more significant negative affect in areas where the signal is poor to begin with.
But god this case is gorgeous.

Will these cases work on a Verizon iPhone? I know their website makes it clear they are selling for GSM only, but it seems like it should be fine side the vibrate/volume buttons don't have cutouts?
I believe theres a cut out on the other side for the sim card slot tho (atnt). Verizon iphone does not have that
i sold my vapor 4 case last month and atomic case i not have and aluminum case right now i am considering buy a Ar-15
But " first offering of the case will feature a special FE "First Edition" symbol, a removable carbon fiber back plate, and a zipper case for those rare times you want your iPhone 4 to go naked."
He must relize a "lite" version ,only vapor case ....
But the brown color doesn't match well with iphone...

Emailed them, they may be sending me one out for review, stay tuned for the review (hopefully)!
they send select units to big sites for review. i emailed then a few time through all the versions they have put out and never a reply.
maybe they are updating the site for sales of new case... who knows maybe it crashed from to much traffic
The Vapor Pro is coming tomorrow....What do you say ? Do you like it ?
Looks interesting. Id consider it, but is it really $150?
Is it half aluminum half composite? Or just the small upper right part?
