Element Vapor Case

It looks to me like those are all Version 1 models.
I figure if they had a good enough reason to eat the costs of creating a Version 2, it's worth waiting for.
I think i might get either the red yellow or blue, and the matching phantom chromatic skin from phantom skinz.
Larry, you are the man.
Did you get the most recent preorder email? They're real pictures, but of version one. Should be good enough to judge color by. I think the pic is in this thread too, but not sure.
Doesn't this happen with most cases?
Oh fine, I'll stop being lazy...
New Vapor Colors and Images (still of version 1)
This is the exact set-up I'm considering, given I actually feel good about ordering given the reception issues. First, chromatics on front I think looks bad, IMO. The clean black is best. Second, I was hoping for the Vapor in silver and blue, but that doesn't appear to be available yet, given the emails from some pre-orders. Silver on silver looks great, too.
I'm not sure if the 'blazin blue' chromatics will match the Vapor blue. I would think the odds are not good. Then I think the safer bet is the silver on silver with either blue, SGP carbon fiber, or just plain black on the back.
My $.02.
I am kind of new here, but just as a FYI, I pre-PAYED this case on July 3rd and decided 3 days ago to cancel the order. Element Case cancelled the order and updated my status promptly but have NOT refunded my actual funds to Paypal and its been 72 hours.
I opened a dispute for non-delivery with Paypal since I didn't get any response to follow up email and still have not gotten refunded or a response.

Just received my email saying my case has shipped. I ordered on July 4th. I ordered gunmetal/blue with carbon option. Can't wait to get it. Gonna be sweet!!
I ordered on the 5th so I best be getting confirmation this week, especially after not getting any response from my emails.
Dude!
You had 313 posts in the original Vapor thread ... and you punted a week from delivery???
Where? I can't order it now since I haven't got my yet, but it is not listed on as an option on this page.

Is it an option when you put your code in?
Trying To Get a Refund...
We'll after my GPS signal loss and my Apple Comp cable not fitting I am
in the process of getting a refund...
First called and got no answer from their phone...shocker.
Then sent 2 emails with my trouble and asking for RMA info..
Still waiting for a reply.....
Now I called my cc co and issued a dispute on the charge
Hopefully it won't be too long for that.
Good luck for anyone else doing the same.

They (Element) dropped the ball. So yeah I cancelled my order.
It's not even an option. And it wasn't an option back when ordering started in July, so he is pulling it. My order hasn't shipped and i'm 34** and that's for Black/black
Oh well, I sent element an email anyway if they knew when gunmetal would be available. If they get back to me I'll be sure to let anyone know.
Hi guys! I'm from eerythingicafe and have literally following everything about this case day and night, including the posts on these forums (yes that log one too that got closed down). Simone just posted this on our forums, very interesting http://www.fusionwerkz.com/iPhone4_Case.html as soon as I see reviews on it, I'll be ordering it
Haha, thanks man for jumping the pond to share some info. It sure does have a lot in common with the Element case. The word design pattens jumps into mind. If they can deliver at that price than they will have a winner on their hands. It seems they aren't willing to take any money until they are ready to start shipping. That's a nice change.
No I'm not "pulling it" my order is number39** i sent them an email last week asking what colors were available and that's when they said gunmetal was available. I was going to change my order from red/black to silver/blue until they told me the gunmetL was coming. So I asked them if I could get the gunmetal color with blue and they emailed me back and said yes so I changed it. I paid for priority mail so it should be here Friday. I will post pics of it. Just checked my tracking number and it says it was processed and left San fransico ca tonight. I can't wait. I'm thinking these two colors together will look great. I opted in for the carbon fiber but not 100% sure I'm gonna use it.
Oh, I wasn't trying to squash your hopes. It's going to be out very shortly I believe. I was talking to the guy who said he ordered it on July 4 and it shipped. Now that's funny.
What are you talking about?this pics on the knock of site are real, sure they look crap compared the vapors case renders, but so do vapors own cases in real life. Anyways, I'll still wait for reviews, which won't come for a long while. On a side note, does macrumors happen to have an app?
