Dont know which one to pick - AR15V or VaporPro spectra black/black??
Pro hands down. Better quality finish, looks better, and less signal issue (presumably). I think the Vapor 4 is officially obsolete.
Got a tip for us?

I like them both, I think its a personal preference really.
Not again!
Wow. I can't believe these guys sucked me in to buying another case. Just ordered the blood red/black. I was torn because there were a few colors I liked. I was working a tradeshow last week and reception in that area was really bad and with my vapor extreme on I had no bars. My bro had 1 bar without his case. Looking forward o testing this bad boy out.
The wording leads me to believe that the speed wrench is included. Do I have that right?

Yeah it appears you get the speed wrench but not the rest of the extras like the screen protector or the pouch. Ignoring the waste of time SP as you can get those anywhere for a couple of bucks but the pouch that they gave me when I had the first version of the Pro was actually really awesome. Form fitting and actually pretty rigid for some decent protection.
If I hadn't returned my Pro due to terrible GPS then I would have used it for my iPod Touch. It was really nice.
It seems like location plays a big role in GPS issues and usually I have them but when I had my Pro, my GPS was dead on all the time. That's why I felt comfortable buying two more. Honestly its the only case that the GPS worked correctly besides the Atomic Hybrid, the rest were off from a little to a lot. But not the Element.
I'm in the exact opposite scenario. I almost always have perfect GPS, with or without a case. When I put the Element (any version really) the GPS was always off by a significant amount. If I was driving or even moving slightly then forget it. Zero signal.
For a $150 case I expect the GPS to work. I overlooked this point when the first Vapor came out but not anymore. There are too many other cases out there.
Not only that but the metal look has kind of worn out for me. I'm more into functionality now, even though the Pro did look pretty sick on my phone. Went back to my Candyshell/Commuter depending on the day.
That's cool. To each their own you know. I actually don't mind apple bumpers myself but I have had good luck with my pro so I am sticking to it. Everyone likes different things. It's what keep so many companies in business.
I have the black ops two on a white iphone but i really like the new colos much than the black ops
Holster
I really wish Element would make a holster for their cases. This is one thing I really miss when I'm sporting my vapor. I hate carrying my phone in my pocket when I'm wearing dress pants. I asked them about this many months ago and they said they were working on it. Still no sign of one. Sigh............
Has anyone found something that works well and i'snt a pouch with their Vapor pro or Vapor pro black opps?

I decide to buy vapor pro
BUT ...which one do you like more?
tnx for help
Just MHO. Of those choices the all black combo looks the best to me. I had an earlier vapor in all black and it looked really good. once again that is just my two cents. I'm a fan of all the colours. The best looking combo yet is the pink/black. My GF has it on her phone and it looks awesome. If somebody wants to impress their woman that has an iphone 4, I would suggest getting that colour combo. I ordered the Red/Balck combo but I keep wondering if I should have gotten the black/black.
I've been using the leather Nutshell case http://tuff-as-nuts.com/apple-iphone-4g-with-bumper.aspx. You can custom design it with a magnetic tab or flap, belt clip or loop. It's durable and pretty good looking. It's designed to carry an Iphone 4 with a bumper. It can be belt mounted vertically or horizontally. it's great protection for the phone and precious bumper case.
BlackOps on white iphone looks bada$$
Vapor limited edition is non glassy finish - it's Matte finish
but the new Spectra line is Glossy .....like a matte way better
Somebody stop me!!!!
Ok, so I keep looking at the page and changing my mind so here is what I've ordered so far. I'll keep the combo I like the most and sell the others. I'm not interest in any colour combo than these.

still can't decide
vapor pro spectra or Draco IV ??
anyone who has both of them care to give any inputs ?
actually i reaelly like the old vapor 4 007 series but can't seems to find it anymore and also im afraid the signal problem will burden me enough .
sigh....

then don't get the draco because that is the king of signal issues. The Vapor PRO has zero problems! I had a Vapor 4 that sucked for signal but with my Blackops PRO I have zero complaints!
I had the Blackops also and the GPS was perfect. The Pro is a great case all the way around.
