Element Vapor Case

[Rooskibar03]

i wonder if anybody with a Vapor case or Atomic case willing to try to paint the inside of the case with clear nail polish instead of taping up the phone itself?
this would be less bulky and provide a complete insulation.
(yes it wont be durable, but this would be a good test if the case's contact has anything to do with the reception)...
if this proves to be a non-issue then the aluminum itself would be the physical barrier that causing the reception degradation...

I honestly don't think it would make a difference. I have a product used as a liquid mask for painting plastic RC bodies. I thought about using it on the inside of the case, but wanted to do some testing first.

I took my phone down to my workspace in the basement, which is the worst signal in the house. Only two bars, but I could make a call to the house. I slid the large side of the case around the phone, didn't install the colored side or the screws. That was enough to drop signal to one bar but unable to make a call. As soon as I slid the metal from around the phone, the call connected.

Next I tried wrapping the edges of the phone in masking tape to completly insulate it from the case. There was no metal on metal contact. Same results as before.

My very quick conclusion, the metal of the case weakens the signal. No amount of insulation is going to change that.

All that said, the phone worked fine while at work with the case on it. But as my home is a weak signal area, there is no way I can use it. Its to much work to take the case off every night when I come home.

You get your Order early. 2 Weeks shipping to Germany

Shipping to Mexico also takes 2 weeks usually . Damn slow postal service.

In the picture with the volume buttons you appear to have an Invisibleshield or other protection on the phone. Is this true? This could contribute to the good antenna performance.

It looks so unbelievably good I'm very tempted to order one even though I have a silver/silver (my continued quest for the most beautiful Iphone 4 case).

he must be lying or in denial

search online for reviews of this case, even with the invisible shield bumper this case kills 1-2 bars of reception

have fun with your overly priced iPod touches guys

Man that nickel plated looks way better than the silver, that is my new color choice. They cost 20 more bucks right? Man I can't even order yet, they better not stop selling it when my turn comes up.

I don't get it. Why would I lie about my reception? What do I have to gain? I do have the best skins protection on maybe that helps,I don't know. I just post because I just want to share with you guys some pictures of the nickel plated because I haven't seen anyone post it yet.I don't want to argue with anyone here.

This guy came out of the blue, his 1st post on this thread. With a quick lOOk it doesn't seem that he's got much positive to say about anything . Your case is sick, what haters say makes NO differences .

No,no really. Go in to the shiny light. Hit the pre-order button. HIT it, hit it, hit it! Where is this GD button??? I can't find it. Must have shiny 20 dollars more case...........screw reception!! I just want to look good...button? button?
If I order now I will have it in 3 months or less.................Does anyone else hear angels singing?

 

[kaikai830]

Thanks a lot guys. Actually I've gone through a lot of this thread.I know that a lot of people have had problems with the reception. Before I got the case today, I was expecting to have some signal loss also but hoping I won't lose that much and my phone is still usable. As it turns out I don't think I have any problem with the reception at all(finger crossed). Where I'm sitting right now I usually get 3-5 bars. I just post some pictures to show you guys the signal on my phones.Anyways, thanks again guys for the compliments.

Don't get excited man . It seems you live in the dreaded Vapor Triangle. Every attempt Element makes to send you a case ends up in a mysterious disappearance . They are still debating whether this is a magnetic disturbance or alien intervention. There is some speculation that ET is rocking your Vapor

I Can't Phooone hooooome.......

That's extremely negative. this case has worked for some of us for whatever reason. give me your number I'll call you everyday. I have an Ipod touch, i can tell the difference.

Actually i did just that for real. how sick is that.

Did you hear the angels too? Or did you just push the button? I don't see a way to pre-order the extreme metals only the reg vapor.

I could be wrong, but i thought the additional options would be presented when I can order and i could change to extreme metals then. That's what the angels said.
