I ordered the white/black one almost two weeks ago (see my posts, I'm a little frantic on shipping since I'm only gonna be home for this weekend until mid may and I want my case now :p )

but hopefully I will have it soon and I will let you know with pics!!

Hopefully you get it soon!! Looking forward to pics.

I have the glossy all black r8 from them and it's absolutely perfect. Fit is flawless, it's very tight, zero movement when installed on my phone. You cannot see any of the bezel when it's installed. If I could give it an A++ rating, I would.

That sounds great, thanks a lot for the review! Definitely picking one up now. :)
 
Just got my Pink Vapor Pro for the girlfriend. I compared it to my authentic Vapor pro and the only difference that immediately hits the eye is the different size logos. The case fits and looks great and so far, there isnt any indication of signal loss. Makes me wonder why I bought the real thing :eek: Ordered 4/2

Here's a crappy iPhone pic

i ordered twice, one a day after the other. received the one that i just went with the Free Shipping today, the one i actually paid for it to go Hong Kong Post b/c i thought it might be a little faster, is still in New York. Guess I should have just went with the free shipping on both of them.

on another note, does anyone here know if the Glas.T will work w/ these cases?

thanks!

Glas.t works flawlessly with the Vapor Pro and Comp without any issues. Have it with my Vapor Pro right now :)
 
My SGP Neo Hybrid case broke, so I'm looking for a new case. And this seem's to look amazing and cheap.

Which color/model do you guys recommend for a black 4s?
Before I bought my SGP, I was looking at this and people were buying from Jacky Lin/aliexpress. Do you guys still buy from him? I look and everyone is talking about casewill now.

How is the blue/black Vapor Pro Spectra? It looks like the case I'm going to most likely be getting

EDIT: Just bought it, paid the extra $2 something for Hong Kong Post. Paid VIA eCheck since I didn't have any money left on my paypal, hope it goes well :)

I also have a Neo Hybrid and I don't like the way the hard bumper slides on the rubber. I bought the blue/black Element case from caseswill.com and it fits well, feels great, and looks good, but it adds so much weight and bulk (width/height) to the iPhone that I never use it anymore. I don't want something that adds more than 25% more weight to my phone (38g compared to the iPhone's 137g); it just makes it uncomfortable to carry in your pocket. I found the Neo Linear EX (red and white combo) and I like that much better; it is my favorite case by far of any I have tried (and that is quite a few). If you don't mind the added bulk and weight the aluminum cases are nice, but they are not for me.

For whatever reason, Jacky Lin has only been selling Black or Silver Chroma (satin finish) Vapor Pros for a while now. Quality and fast shipping is still there, but color selection is very limited.

Yea well, the outer hard bumper broke, it was not durable at all. I was expecting it to break because it was way too flimsy.
Last SGP I will ever buy.

Yes you are quite right the outer shell is quite flimsy and must be pulled over the rubber part, a design that is just akin for trouble. The Neo Linear EX does not have that problem; it is simply a bumper (hard plastic) that is in 2 pieces that lock in place. It is a completely different design. To me it is so far ahead of what any aluminum bumper could possibly be that there is no comparison.

I have no idea what they were thinking when they made the design. It felt like a $1 case. Oh well, lasted me since November. Yea the Neo Linear is a different concept and looks nice, I was going to get that instead of the Neo Hybrid, but I got the latter.

Hopefully this Vapor Pro Spectra is worth the money :D
 
I did the $2.50 Hongkong Post shipping. Come on, it was only $2.50, it's pretty much free. Did you assume that I got it shipped via DHL just b/c my stuff didnt take 3 weeks? LOL.

You said you didn't have to wait 3 weeks. I simply said the 3 week wait was typical for those that picked free shipping. Not quite sure what your confusion is.

I got free shipping and it arrived in 8 days to Texas USA.
Your situation is the exception with free shipping and not the rule judging from the post from those that picked free shipping.
 
I have had my fake vapor pro for like 2 months now and the things been pissing me off, but for 20 bucks, why not, this is what i dont like about it, about 2 weeks ago it started squeeking back and forth and it made me tired of listening to it, and also last month, where your screw goes in, the thread stripped, but thank god i had a black ops one, i swapped out one of the peices of the black ops one and it fit perfect, but for 20 bucks a piece, you cant beat it, but for now im going back to a otterbox defender, going to try somthing different
 
Got mine today ( took about 2 weeks ). It's okay. Looks better in the pictures, but for $24 one shouldn't expect real classy stuff !

Pics coming soon...

played with the foams a little
super tight fit -- a bit of bowing at the aluminum side on the right
shame i couldnt use the suede insert. was too short and the colour was off
ordered the pro in the same colour. should be arriving in 2 days







 
Hey... would you mind posting more photos of your Vapor Comp Red edition from caseswill.com? I'm interested in getting one as well... debating between the red and the patriot...

also does anyone know if caseswill or any other sellers offer the red/black combo for the vapor comps, down to the red power button?

The COMP I received from caseswill was loose on the plastic side and the case would be able to move up/down on the phone when installed. Yours doesn't have this at all?

Ask him if other colors are available. He's hooked me up quite nicely over both orders I've placed with him.

My Comps from Jacky Lin are rock solid on the plastic side with a tiny amount of bowing. The aluminum side is fine. A little bit of play after I adjusted my foam, but nothing to be worried about. Certainly no bowing of aluminum. Theres got to be something out of whack with your case.

i didn't have that issue.
tight all around -- so much that i had to take out one of foams or else the case wouldnt screw together
did you move your foams around?

i think i might have screwed it on a little too tight initially.
but after messing around with it, its fine now.
i wasn't able to capture the bowing on camera anymore which was how it first came to my attention.
 
I've been following this thread and ordered the black ops case from caseswill.com

There is definitely space on the top/bottom. Ended up giving the case to a friend.

Any suggestions on other models or sellers that have vapors in a tighter fit?

Jacky Lin. Lol
 
Jacky Lin. Lol

Unless it's changed, seemed like earlier in this thread his black ops were plagued by the same issues. Have they been improved? I'm not married to that model, if there is a better fitting replica (r8, comp, pro epiphany) i'll give that a shot. Really just looking for best fit possible.
