Actually they state a metal alloy, AND new model pvc is available too.
I belong to aibaba and sent company a message asking for clarification.
The listing looks like a poorly worded chinese menu!
Just got into the store, still so tempting to do an AR-15. Even a $50 profit is better then nothing.
Just never know how quick they will ship. I'm still waiting on 2 items to go out, don't want to make it 3.
---------------------------------------------------
Oh well, I like to gamble. Ordered an AR-15.
just ordered the Ar-15 u can't order it without the carbon fiber back which kinda sucks but oh well
I think they just upped the price. I don't see where they include the carbon anymore.
Scratch that. Looks like they changed the description.
Me too. ar15 and 007
We're just glutton for punishment aren't we?
Actually an AR-15 would look great around a converted White iPhone...
I actually use the ar15 so I am selling this one but yes it would look good. I now have two 007's.
Your order process should go like this:
Day 1 Awaiting Fulfillment
Day 3-5: Awaiting Shipping
Day 5-7: Shipped
Day 7-10: You get your case.
I have been all over this Vapor Thread and I can't tell if this case is still causing signal issues or if there are tweaks to prevent them or if I should avoid this case all together. So Are these cases still causing problems, because if not, I'm all over that AR15-V?
I honestly think your going to get mixed answers. I have tried ALL the metal cases out there and when I am using my ar15 or Frost Vapor I have no signal problems, but alot of people do so its a toss up. You can do little mods that make a world of difference also.
all the aluminum cases have reception problems - my vapor has the least but still has some I don't like. Fusion coming up....
I've been following the Fuzion Raw closely, but I still like the look of the Vapor cases a little better, especially the AR!
Thats the biggest problem, all the posts are mixed answers.
Gotta pay to play!! If it works for you then great, if not EBAY!! Really no reason not to at-least try it.

Would appear demand is dying some. Stores been open since 1 and the only thing sold out is the 007.
just pulled the trigger on a black/aqua to go with my silver/silver..i figure i can switch caps and get the damn screw back that i lost. the pure sexiness of the case trumps the gps degradation and the fact that i have to deal with element's ****** customer service. im just a glutton for punishment.
Thanks for the pics.... i ordered it yesterday because of your pics!! i love the shiny bright side but also the used and wasted look .... the case looks really awesome with the stain(s) - have you polished it yet?
I'm with ufc. I don't any signal issues with my black/black Vapor. I will say Bluetooth and GPS do take a hit.
If you are in a good cell area, you should be ok but as always YMMV.
As for eBay, I bought my black/black with a Carbon back for 135 (included shipping). I got it a couple of months back before the huge upcharges came and felt it was an ol premium to pay for something I would not be able to purchase for a while (I'm currently in line for mid-November according to Element's email).
I truly want an AR15 but honestly I'm not spending more than face value. I can do without. It isn't the money but the ROIC. It is barely worth asking price for what is essentially a super sexy bumper that while I don't have reception issues, I have noticed a Bluetooth and GPS issue. The Bluetooth bothers me.
Anyway, a lot of the buy it nows on eBay are going unpurchased it seems for the $300 items. Even the AR15. Everything else seems to be ending at about decent prices overall. A 20-30 premium seems fine to me but the 100-200 profits of a month ago seemed a little odd. Some of those were more than likely "fake" to up the prices.
