Just ordered the white vapor pro from caseswill.....and now the wait
i'm also waiting now for the patroit.
just placed and order for the patriot comp ever wanted to get one i buy also a month ago the white one and the fits it's perfect
Wow that was fast! I ordered on the 20th and received my order from caseswill.com today; I had been prepared for a 3-week wait based on the other posts on this thread. I have only used the Vapor Pro (blue/black) but I must say for $10.99 I am impressed. Yes there is a very slight gap around the frame in some places but not generally noticeable, and the finish is very good. And I can't say that my signal strength has degraded at all (at least at home where I usually get 2-3 bars I am getting 3-4 bars right now). It adds a certain heft to the phone and makes it feel really substantial without being overly heavy.
I also ordered a Deff Cleave (gold) and a simple plastic bumper (orange) but have not opened them. I hear that the Deff Cleave can be a real signal killer, and I don;t even like the looks of it, so I may just sell it unopened. I also have an SGP Neo Hybrid EX from eBay (infinity White) that I am going to get rid of because it just doesn't feel right.

Bummer! I just found out that my original Apple sync cable (I think it was from an original iPhone or perhaps an iPod) will not fit with the Vapor Pro case on! The sync cable that came with the iPhone 4 fits well though.
Sorry, but I wouldn't buy a bootleg patriot. The whole point of that case is the donation to Veterans. I highly doubt the Chinese are donating their proceeds to help US Soldiers.

I just picked up a pair of Vapor Comps from Jacky Lin. Quality stuff as usual. I had to tweak the placement of the foam padding however, otherwise the case just didn't "seal" right for the plastic section.
I am however, quite pleased with the much-lessened affects that the Comp has on my WiFi signal vs my Vapor Pro (also a custom job from Jacky Lin).
If I decide to quit being lazy, I'll take pics of all three cases.
I really can't recommend Jacky Lin enough. Now if only he'd/she'd/they'd get the Royal Purple in stock...
Really? 10% for a $110 case that was produced for no less than a few bucks.
If you wanted to be a true "Patriot".....then you would buy the $23 knock-off case and donate the remaining $87 to the "Fisher House Foundation" to help the veterans. It surely beats the $1.10 donation made by ElementCase.....don't you think?

Ha..that's funny...and so true. I thought the Patriot as damn ugly....but yeah I wouldn't buy a chinese one even if I wanted the Patriot because of this fact.
Still waiting for a vapor comp stealth in red/black. Drool!!
10% of $110 is $11.
Duh, you're right. But who's to say that they are actually donating that amount in the 1st place. Because it's in the print?
Besides $87 > $11
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe it was 100% of the proceeds went to Vets, not 10%.

He doesn't have the colored buttons yet. I asked.
Per their websit:
In honor of our American veterans, Element Case has created the "Vapor COMP Patriot." With your help, this limited edition Vapor Comp will raise up to $2,000 to help the families of American veterans to be with their loved ones while they are in the hospital.
10% from every Patriot case purchased will be donated to the non-profit "Fisher House Foundation." See more info at http://www.fisherhouse.org/. Help us help our Veterans!

Ordered a white Vapor Pro Edition case two weeks ago. Finally received it today. Great value for the money! The case looks absolutely great! Ordered it from casesinthebox.com.
finally got my purple vapor from caseswill and its a great value for the money! It's a tight fit and doesn't degrade my reception. My only complaint is a tiny bit of padding is visible near the silent switch but eh...I can live with it.
Could you post some photos of the case? I ordered mine last week and really want to see what it looks like... Thanks!!
You can probably remove the padding and trim it up a bit so that it looks cleaner...I did on all of my knock-offs.
Could I have a link to the pink vapor pro?So I got my two new cases on the wife's phone and so far I'm very impressed with the fit and finish. The pink pro fits like a glove. The phone does not move one bit. The blue comp has a little play in it, specifically in the corners of the top and bottom right. There's even the extra pads in those corners, so I'm pretty surprised that there is movement. Nevertheless, i'll probably just add a little piece of body guardz to both of those corners to tighten them up. They both look fantastic and she's already had some comments on the blue one....all in all I'm extremely pleased with these cases from caseswill...definitely a better fit than my black ops from jacky lin. Now I am just waiting for them to make and release some tacticals....
