Know if they're anodized and CNC machined, or are they the aluminum/zinc ones, that are painted on?

This one looks particularly interesting, as it looks like it's seperated by a top and bottom piece, unlike the other ones that has the cap on the side.
 
i am really interested how you put on that last case. it says: screws and screwdriver included but i don't see any screws.

Likewise. I might just bite the bullet and get the blue and the grey half and half one. There's a return policy for DX, so I'm not TOO worried about the cases being absolute crap.

I have been wondering about these also. I believe in the description it states that it is an aluminum alloy. So I think these are die cast and painted not cnc machined and anodized. Although in the pic the silver does not look like a painted finish.

Top 2 pics theres screws on the bottom and top part of the small piece.(u can see the screws on the bottom part) The third one looks like a 2 piece snap on bottom and top.
 
the third pic screws in. on dx it shows screws with the picture but not where they go. also show that one in a element case vapor 4 package haha ..

after posting that i looked agian and it shows screws in pic but it also shows front and back pick with no screw holes so who knows.
 
i have one (silver/silver). it's a signal killer for me the same as the regular vapor. came with logos on the metal which were easily removed.

overall very meh.
