I really dug the frost & red. The finish of the frost was stunning and really felt good to the touch.
I ordered up a Black & orange, silver & blue and an extreme nickel (to pay for the others) on Sunday.
Yeah, I've got an addiction.
Got a tip for us?

yankintx a change of plans evidently happened in a BIG way. Still the best aluminum cases, once modified.
You got that right. I guess I am hoping that the signal issue is minimal. If it isn't, they all go to eBay. Actually my wife and kids are more excited about the case than I am, and they talked me into it.
Hope I don't regret it.
2 of the Ar-15 , 2 extreme frost and red, 2 extreme frost and graphite, 2 silver and blue, 1 hot pink and black, and 1 black and orange.
I did not get the " sticker" with any of them. We have the sgp carbon back sticker and like it.
I really liked my Black/Black vapor but I did find it slippery. You are so right, the feel of this finish it is awesome. It has a great grip. I'm just stuck on what to keep and what to sell. I love em both but I don't need more than one of the same case. I dont want to try them on because I'm listing it new. I really like the Silver Blue. It looks fantastic in pics.
When did you order? I've been checking daily for AR-15's for sale and always shows out of stock?
Dear lord you two have an issue!
Think y'all have enough Vapors?! You two are going to single handedly drive the price of raw aluminum up! And Rhino, you have more aluminum cases coming...the Exovault, and I'm sure you're getting at least 2 (since that's the maximum initial order) of the Fusion Raw later this week. But then again...I have the Exovault, the Alumacase should be here tomorrow, and I'm on the list for 2 Raws as well. Ok...so all 3 of us have an issue!

What modifications are you talking about?
Please don't be mad.. The thread has almost 2500 replies, it's really hard to find a specific piece of information...
I'm totally digging this Frost. Chris..................YOU SHOULD TALK!
You're the main reason I bought the Exovault. I'm so stoked about getting it
Oh hush! I didn't tell you to go all out and get the super-duper most expensive engraved Exovault! That was all you buddy.
You see that I got the el-cheapo poor man's non-engraved Exovault.

Haha, Yeah, they were pretty much giving the non engraved version away
. I can't wait to test it out. I'm just not really pleased about taking off my lucky labs. i just ordered 4 of the new blue in the Spectra 2.0. I think the new spectra is thicker,tougher or something.
Haha, Yeah, they were pretty much giving the non engraved version away
You "might" not have to take the Lucky Labs off. I don't have any experience with them personally(when I try to order from them, they say they are all out of stock cause some goober in Canada buys them all and resells them!
), but just playing around with the case, I was able to wrap my antenna with scotch tape and work it carefully into the case. So if your wraps are the same thickness (or less) than scotch tape, you might be able to keep them.

I've placed 5 orders with them and had no problems. I get calls from people I've never heard of wanting an install. I have to do three installs tomorrow
. haha, people love the combo. I highly recommend doing it. I'm keeping the graphite. I like the red but love the Graphite. sorry for the bad pic. the light is all wrong and I need a macro lens. Notice my barsAttachments

I was just kidding with you about them being out of stock. A joke on how many of the damn things you have! Show the picture again of all the SGP and Lucky Labs kits that you have on hand laid out on the table. It's sick!

Sure Chris
I've had to order more since I took this pic. I'm getting low.
GD I like this new Vapor!!!! Even my GPS is 100% bang on right down to the direction I'm facing. Best of all it's not slipping out of my hands.

Ha! That's it. And I've thought about trying the Vapor again, but I just can't stand that damn company. The frost versions do look good though. Wanna sell me one of yours?

You know I did my fair share of bashing Element, ( I waited 60 days my first order) but I gotta say. When I got my first one I wasn't totally sold on it and I had no problem throwing it on ebay. This one I love! Its a total keeper! I put it on and there is no looking back. I'm super picky and I am sold on the frost. The grip and finish is perfect. You are going to have to get one. I would have tried for a third one if I knew you were in the market. I put the red on Ebay for 199.
My plan was to get my case for free with the sale of the red one.
Well I'm damn sure not paying you $199 for the red one!
Not when I have to insulate the crap out of them just to get them to work where I'm located. And you always find ways to subsidize your case addiction...pretty ingenious little turd, aren't ya?
Well I'm damn sure not paying you $199 for the red one!
Man, I buy sooooooo much stuff. These cases are the cheapest things I buy. I'm a electronics junkie! I gotta find ways to help with the cost of my habit. I do installs, consult and repair PC's as a hobby to support my need for the latest gear. This way, when I buy it's guilt free

The gf's will always bitch. Mine does everytime I bring in something new. Even if I paid for it with the sale of something else she says im wasting my money. I tell her yeah my money.

Yep, it's always a waste of money unless you buy them something. Whats the deals with flowers? I waste 50-60 bucks on coloured grass thats dead in a week and I'm a hero....but it's not a waste of money, lol
Girls, you be cute but you be crazy
My girlfriend did get me to order her a pink/black vapor though.
I ordered last Thursday about 5 minutes after the store was open for the group that pre ordered somewhere about the middle to the end of July.
I've actually been on Purseforum and Authenticforum. It's a girl thing! I've bought a few handbags lately.....
I had a coworker ask me yesterday why my phone wasn't wearing a Vaja (yes previously I had up to 5 Vaja's for each phone). I told him I was thinking about this aluminum case instead. I also told him that I hadn't pulled the trigger because of the reception issues. Then I got to missing this thread and I came upon the "frost" version. Is that from Exovault or Element? It looks yummy! My phone is evidently under dressed if a coworker is noticing. I may have to cave soon. My birthday is coming up so that could be a good excuse!
'Frost' would be Element. It's from their 'extreme metals' offerings.
Thanks! Now I wonder if my old pre-order code still works?
How is the frost case different from the normal ones? I'm considering between the frost, 007 and the nickel. Any suggestions?
EDIT: So I did some reading through the thread and decided the 007 isn't for my taste. Can someone post up pictures of both the frosts? Much appreciated.
