Lol, If I said nana nana poo poo would that be crossing a line? Or how about nener nener nener nener 😀😀😀😀😀😀
Don't worry you will still get yours first. Mine has to cross the border and I will have to give a blood sample and 50 bucks before I can pick it up,

Mate, I'm in Canada too!! So you will get yours first. I think it's because I asked for a colour change at the last minute. I told them to give me black/silver or black/blood red instead of my original all black so it's gonna be a surprise which one I get.

Holy cow. Put that in your Country description. Fly your colors man. 😀
I think it will be Black/Red. When I spoke to them they said that there are issues with the silver. I asked them to switch mine too but there was gonna be a delay. I thought to get my Black/black now and order some other colour side pieces later and maybe get them custom engraved. They are cool about updating your order as long as you get to them before it gets to shipping.
I just ordered the SGP black leather and the Steinheil Ultra Crystal full body protection. What is the back cover? Is that just the matte finish back cover?

Yeah, it's the ultra matte kit. It comes with a matte back and sides and an ultra clear for the front. It is by far the best skin I've ever used. ( No finger prints on the back whatsoever) I have done at least 15 installs on different devices from different vendors. I've since ordered a carbon and cube back plate from SGP and all three different films for the front. I'm gonna replace the ultra clear when my Ultra Oleophobic front skins gets here. Most people say they are much better than the ultra clear for reducing smudging. There is a new anti finger print ultra fine coming soon that better suits the new high res screen.
Oleophobic really doesnt make a different. The oleo screen protector and the ultra crystal have the same difficulty or removing fingerprints. I think the oleo is more clear, but for some reason i feel much less protected when i use it.

Haha I ordered the ultra clear and then was told by people to get the oleo screens instead because they were better. I guess you never really know until you try. I am super happy with the ultra clear so far but I'm totally blown away by how much I love the matte back skin. It feels and looks great. Everyone keeps asking me where I got it.
Did you see this review ?

What's the difference between aluminium and gunmetal in practice ?

Hey SESpy. I posted the review for the SGP Ultra Matte. It's at www.whiterhinotech.blogspot.com Don't expect much from my blog page. I just set it up today. I have a lot of tweaking to do. 😱
Just missed the revision 2 cut off for the Vapor Case. I received my Vapor Case (V1) on Monday and e - mailed Jeff Sasaki about the availability of v2. Here is his reply for anyone that is curious about version 2.
Hi Mike,
Yes all orders going out this week have the change.
-Jeff
I was actually happy when I opened my package and discovered that I received version 1 (wasn't to crazy about the sim cut out in Larry's v2 reveiw) but now I am curious about any benefits revision 2 might offer. Although I have yet to try any Up Load / Down Load speed tests on my v1 with & without the case, I have not noticed any performance problems with my phone using v1. Even though I am a bit curious about the v2 case I think I'm going to stick with the v1 case due to the sim cut out on v2 and no noticible performance issues with v1 on my phone.
It sounds as if we should start seeing some more feed back on the version 2 case as people start receiving theirs this week.

Where are you guys seeing your tracking numbers? I got my email yesterday that said my status has changed to shipped. but no tracking number?????
ordered July8th #497* red/blk** carbon-yes
ordered July8th #497* red/blk** carbon-yes
well the oleo is super clear and you cant even tell its thier, but the trade off is that it isnt as durable as the crystal. And im sure as you guessed the crystal is slightly less clear (but still very clear and takes nothing from the display) but is much more durable. buy both, use both, only 30-40 bucks.
you are order 497X and already shipped??? WTF I'm 46xx and I havent shipped...last email said it was awaiting shipment...but then I asked for a colour change...but I got no email back saying nothing...bastard guys!!!!

Just picked up my gunmetal and blue element vapor 4. It looks great. It's version 1. I'll post pics in a little bit I'm driving to work now.
according to an email element case sent me yesterday. The orange color (which was sent to ilounge) is actually the solar yellow.

I know, I read that, but is that the same Black/Yellow I'm in line for from the pre-order sheet? It's all very confusing. I wish they'd list the colors w/ a pic next to it.
What happened to this one? They were calling this yellow before.

I know here ill post the email i got..
Steve,
We actually don't have a black/orange case. The orange that is shown is actually the solar yellow, and we are currently offering the black/solar yellow.
Feel free to contact me with any other questions.

The question i asked is if the black/orange case sent to ilounge is available
So basically... "Solar Yellow" = Orange
nooo idea, i was going to get the solar yellow, but i think im gonna take the safe bet and grab a black/black
how in the hell do people get replies to emails??? maybe they just dont like me...bastard guys!
I wonder if it's a "green" version? Because that yellow is decidedly orange lol. I still really like it. But it might be too edgy for me.
ya i really like the orange too, im scared if i get it 2 months from now ill be tired of it, black is something you just dont get tired of. Maybe once they start selling part for it ill but the orange piece.
