Ok so after 3 unanswered emails and unanswered phone calls, I'm thinking their customer service pretty much doesn't exist. I returned 2 cases at my expense and yet instead of giving me a full refund, they took out $12 for each case which is how much they charge for shipping. Why would they do that and not give me my full refund? Has anyone gone through the same issue?

I think they charge a restocking fee.

i was refunded only the cost of the case and not the shipping fee as well.

Hey guys I have two authentic Vapor Pros for trade.

First edition vapor pro

Vapor pro Orange/Silver

I'm looking to trade for the following (authentic only): All Black Vapor Pro, Blackops, blue/silver, white vapor pro, or any of the stealth/venom edition ones! Let me know :)

That's not right since they charge you so much to ship and you have to spend your money to ship the cases back to them. Oh well live and learn I guess. Never buying their cases again.
 
Hi everyone,

I am new to the Vapor case and never had a iPhone 4 before.
I just have a few questions:

What material are these Vapor 4 cases made out of?
Are they metal and will they affect the antenna signal?
How is the installation process? (If someone could give me a brief step by step)

How does the "Carbon Back Plate" looks like? I notice some of the cases they sell do not have a back cover and I want a one that is similar to the looks of the iPhone 4 back cover.

Thank you!
 
is it as good as the pictures look? Build quality? Will this work with the new iPhone 4s? and can you put a screen protector on the phone if you have this case?

im tlaking about the element comp.
 
Well I returned the Vapor Pro Stealth due to GPS issues ...

I was one of the "original ganstas" in the first Element Case thread with troop & whiterhino back in 7/2010...

Can't believe people are still buying these things & having to return them. :confused:
 
Hey, I just read the last 20 or so pages of this thread.

I really like the way the way the Vapor Pro Spectra all Silver and all Black look.

I noticed that some people mentioned buying the same thing (well a knock off thats just as good as the same thing) on Aliexpress.com or something like that.

Could anyone recommend me a seller on there for what I am looking for. Hoping to buy a case for my brother as well as for me and obviously don't want to spend the $260 I would direct from element case.

So would really appreciate if someone could recommend a good seller for these on a site like aliexpress or something that sells a high quality knock off of the 2 designs I want at a decent price

Thanks again
 
Element Case Vapor 4 Katakana - Limited Edition

Hello. I'm new to Element Case and it sounds likes there's a lot of disparaging comments regarding the performance of the iPhone4 when it's used with one of their cases. I really like the look of the Vapor 4 Katakana - Limited Edition. Has anyone tried this one? Anyone noticed any loss of signal with it? Would like to order a case in the next couple days and would appreciate any advice regarding this particular case. Thanks!

Well i have just bought a white case from a seller, not before having a very long conversation on the live chat thing to confirm everything is in place. I paid via paypal so hopefully i will be covered.

Not sure what the forum rules are in terms of posting direct links to things like this.....?

Yea I was in the aluminum case phase. I feel like I wasted $30 but shiz happens.

but they do reimburse you back for the cost to ship the item back to them. not sure why they doesn't do it for the initial shipping though. so do remember to send them pictures of the receipt to ship the case back to them.
 
Anyone try a Vapor Comp iPhone 4 case with Lucky Labs iPhone 4 Spectra Wraps?

Thinking it will make the clear colored plastic piece look better.

Thinking Blue Vapor Comp + Olympic Blue Spectra Wrap + Blue Aluminum Back Plate on my Black iPhone 4.

Red looks pretty nice too but cant find a Red Aluminum Back Plate.

I just read their return policy and it states they don't reimburse you for shipping. Maybe you got lucky or they like you.
 
Well, that looks fabulous. But might have some of those problems discussed in the beginning of this thread as it seems to be one of the first models.

----------

Can someone point out a few places to get one of these for $50 as many people seem to have got?
 
Anyone have the Limited Edition Katakana Vapor 4?
I am looking for that and will be willing to purchase it from anyone here that is selling.
 
Going with the Red or Blue Comp case. Still undecided... think blue might look too girly.
 
Looks like the Vapor Pro White is not available on the website.

Thinking about going with the Black Ops on a white i4s, any pics?

Any other good combos with a VP and a white i4?

Thank you.
 
Few pages back someone posted pics of a white iphone with the blue vapor comp case. I think it looks pretty sweet.

Anyone have a white iphone with the black vapor comp case?
 
I've spent the last 24 hours deciding between the Vapor Pro White Edition, Spectra (silver on silver) and Chroma (silver) cases. I ended up going with the silver on silver Spectra model. :D I decided to add on the Transit Kit for a discounted fee of $10.

I'll be using it with my new white iPhone 4s (32gb) that should hopefully be arriving soon. I felt that the silver brushed aluminum of the Spectra would look fantastic alongside the white of the iPhone 4/4s.

I never throught I would actually drop $150 on an iPhone case :eek: I'll be sure to post some pictures when it arrives.
 
Well, the Vapor Pro White is OOS. There's a couple listings on ebay, but I wanted to order from element case...bleh...
