Element Vapor Case

1-- post it in the vapor threat
2-- yes many people have tried it showing little positive effect .. aluminum blocks reception

the ultimte solution to all aluminum cases is to get rid of them

by the way the fusion raw even has an open side and still has issues
 
How do you know the fusion raw has issues? Its not even out yet!!

I sent a note to Atomic that I wanted to return it and got a note back that said - "OK, let us send you a new case that has the sides cut out, or a whole new CF frame type. Frankly, the cut sides don't work too well compared to the CF frame - which one do you want?"

Well, Duh....

Didn't I read that CF degrades signal, as well?
 
Just saw vapor cases on alibaba.com. It didn't take the Chinese long to steal an idea. They even call them vapor4 cases.

14-17 bucks a pop. Says they are alloy. Wonder what it is. I'm sure it isn't anodized aluminum like elements case.

Guess eBay will start getting jammed with these cases. I'm certain the real cases will take a major price hit.
 
I cant find them. You got a direct link?

Here are some pics of the modifications that the dude I sold my 007 Vapor to made, I have to say that I like it with the mods, he also says the signal got much better. Wonder if it could be cut to look like that case that has the sides missing. Might look pretty sweet

+1. Probably should have let him know through a PM, because I'm sure a lot of people, myself included, went to look :D

You would know the difference. I have both cases and one looks like chrome and the other is alot duller. The satin finish is alot rougher and they send out a cleaning cloth with it. If yours is extremely smooth and looks like chrome then you have the old one and it does tarnish fast. The new satin one that I have been using has been used for 4 days and still looks brand new with no hint of tarnishing so far, not to say that it wont but its not near as bad as the old one. I sold my old one because of having to clean it almost every day. Hope that helps you.

And it cost 10 dollar more for that cloth :p

My friend got a pre-order code, I'm thinking of putting my money for two.

1 Satin Nickel and 1 AR-15V? the silver/blue looks nice also.
 
I have a brand new silver and blue I will sell you right now. Never even took it out of the box. Are they sending out preorder codes for the next round already? They have not even filled all my orders yet. I know after this deal, I am done with element. Their customer service sucks. Why in the hell would they sell cases that are not ready to ship like they did to me? That is terrible business.

They've done that to almost everyone (sold cases that they were not ready to ship). It took almost 50 days from the time they charged me for my case, to the time they shipped it. They have been like this from the beginning. Element is more concerned with getting your money than they are actually providing a good customer experience. At least Alumacase and Fusion didn't charge me for my products until they shipped. Hopefully my Fusion Raw that's coming Saturday or possibly Monday will be the aluminum case for me. If that design still hurts reception significantly, I imagine there's no hope for an aluminum case that won't.
 
I am in the same boat. I ordered two raw's yesterday and I have said the same thing. If they don't work, I am done with aluminum cases altogether. But yea, element's customer service is s**t.

Haha! My bad guys, I had NO idea that link had any of that stuff on it, thought it was just the pictures. But since so many of you copied it to your messages, I can't completely erase it, oh well let see if a mod takes it down

Oh and that link has nothing to do with me, it's "just" a Vapor 4 picture of modifications a person I sold it to did
