like 1 mate here mentioned, slightly twist the top n bottom of the plastic part outwards. i did tat n used some blu-tack to hold it straight.

Thanks by I don't want to put blu-tack on my phone. I use that at my job and it stains the oak tag after a while. Don't want for that to happen to my phone.
 
Sorry I took so long to post but I don't have my camera at the moment. I used the camera on my mac. The apple decal came with my wraps from lucky lab. This is the comp I got from caseswill.

It took about two weeks

----------


I ordered my vapor pro last weekend, and got the confirmation the same night, but I haven't gotten any tracking updates, or even a tracking number email yet. Is this normal? I spent over 30 dollars so it gave me a shipping method with a tracking number as default, I'm considering emailing customer service asking for a tracking number

I never got any tracking info and mine showed up. I would't stress it. (caseswill)

Yeah good call, I won't be back home to receive it until next friday anyway, hopefully it'll be there by then, thats about 16 days from date of purchase, seems about the average amount of time (from what I have read on here) for a caseswill order.
 
Mine took around 8 business days from caseswill and casesinthebox. I ordered a case from caseswill and 1 from casesinthebox 1 day later. Both delivered the same day.
 
where did you buy your R8 Pro from? I just ordered the white/black one from caseswill a few days ago and it should be here in a week or two, but how does it not fit well? Can you post pics?

Also is the mute switch issue too close because maybe you have an AT&T iPhone? I have a Verizon and I know the switch placement is different so maybe that could be good... :confused:

Got mine from caseswill. If you have the verizon one it won't be a problem with the mute switch. I have the ATT ip4 and it hits the top of the opening. I don't think I could even post any pics as I can't even put the case on with the screws. I do have some luckylabs wraps on, but I have seen that there are others on here with the wraps on and they seem to fit fine. Hope yours fits.

Odd. My real and bootleg Vapor Pro's fit on my AT&T iPhone 4. In fact, my bootleg Vapor Pro went straight from my 4 to my 4S.
 
Has anyone ever asked CasesWill if they plan on providing the Vapor Comp Stealth series? Just curious as I really like Black/Red model.

Also, for a bit of an update, my Blue/Silver Vapor Pro from CasesWill that I've previously posted in this thread is holding up fantastic. Great case. Word of warning though, the gal got the White Vapor Pro to go with her white phone and the paint is chipping on areas that see a lot of wear. So if this is going to be going in and out of a purse or you're not all that careful with your phone, that particular color probably isn't for you unless you're willing to deal with it.

I have a few real ones and have never had any problems with how they fit. Perfect every time. This was my 1st fake and it didn't fit at all.
 
Update: I have had my case for about two weeks now. I got the Vapor Spectra Pro with silver on silver. It's still absolutely fantastic. The fit is great, the phone never moves. I'm glad I went with the silver on silver because I have yet to see wear and probably will never. I can't keep this thing out of my hands. The feeling of aluminum around my iPhone is amazing. I actually dropped my phone for the first time today at the grocery store and it made this weird, yet satisfying thud on the ground. Of course, everything was in perfect shape. I went with some front and back screen protectors from Power Support, and I feel 100% confident that nothing will happen to this phone unless I drop it ten feet or run over it with my car. I ordered from caseswill and used DHL shipping. It was here within one week to the Midwest, so I would definitely recommend coughing up a few extra bones and getting DHL.

Also, I have been reading some things about fitting issues and screws not working properly. I did not have any of these issues at all. The only thing I would say is that you'd better tighten the screwdriver onto the keyring pretty damn tight, or it will work it's way off and you may lose it and be "screwed."

Some need to realize that this is a knock off company in China, so there are going to be mistakes on some cases that get sent out the door. I'm sure their quality control isn't their high priority. Same goes for their customer service. I have not had to deal with them, but if I did, I would not expect 5 star NewEgg customer-type service.
 
For the FAKE vapor pros, do they have two types of finish? One shiny and one matte? The Spectra I got from caseswill doesn't seem shiny at all.

I have a real all Silver Vapor Pro Spectra. I have also had a fake all Silver Vapor Pro Spectra and an all Silver Chroma, both from China.

The Silver finish on the real Vapor Pro has a very high quality, shinny brushed look. It is very similar to the stainless silver finish on the antenna band of the iPhone. The edges all have a smooth feel in your hand and the overall feeling of the finish is much smoother than the silver fakes.

Compared to the real all Silver Spectra, the fake silver is flat and dull looking. The edges have a slightly sharper feel like they skipped an edge de-burring step before finishing. The Spectra finish is supposed to be shinny, but the Silver on the fakes looks much more like the duller finish you would expect with the Chroma finish.

The fake Chroma finish is actually even a little duller and a little lighter silver than the fake silver Spectra, but they are very similar. The fake Silvers have a finish that looks like the finish on a Mac lap top, which many people seem to like.

Thank you for the very thorough comparison! My fake silver Spectra is dull looking and grainy and your explanation nails it.
 
Hi everyone, just had a quick look through the last couple pages and i couldn't find what i was looking for so i thought i would ask.

Has anyone ordered one of the cases from Caseswill from the United Kingdom. I am just wondering how long the delivery is before i purchase a case.
 
See below information, it may take 2 weeks to UK.

I ordered it on the 26th January. However, due to the Chinese New Year, I don't believe it was shipped until the 1st of February, at the earliest. Received this morning so you're looking at about 2 weeks.

I live in the UK.
