Too bad I am not quite eligible for the market place or I would probably take you up on that - can you send me a PM?
my Fake Vapor Patriot didn't have a felt back piece. it was more of a canvas type material. i like the felt b/c it keeps the phone from sliding.
also, the polycarbonate is very delicate, so don't over tighten the screws. i did and i've managed to crack my polycarb.
Thanks for the info, I am getting mainly for the case, not too keen on the back piece.
Just wondering, how does the RF insert slide back in? My Pro came with a clear insert, and I swapped in the orange/yellow one from my Black Ops to see how it looked. No matter how hard I push it won't fit flush- the insert is slightly lower than the aluminum part the insert slides into.
I've tried using the original clear one and that one won't fit flush either now. It came from the seller fitted perfectly so I'm guessing I'm just trying to put it in the wrong way...
twss overload lol
I noticed the same thing on mine also. But I think it was due to over spray built up from me painting it. Either way I just persuaded it and it now sits flush.
Guess I need to break out the hammer and clamp Original Post: https://forums.macrumors.com/posts/14214018/
Update:
Had it since beginning of Jan 2012 (ordered it Dec 2011). 4 months so far. Served it's purpose well. Keep in mind I have my phone in my pocket a lot (take it out almost every 10-15 minutes) along with keys, and coins (95% of the time). I dropped my phone 4-5 times since then (i know its a lot :| ). I found the case to be pretty good quality. I like the Matte finish, vs the glossy paint like I found people are posting up from casewill. I bought mine from Aliexpress (jacky lin). Don't know if it is still up there. The paint started to peel around the edges, esp the top, the left side a bit. But the right side remains to still be clean.. I'll just let the images do the rest of the talking. Just so you guys see how it does over time if you guys still want to buy it. again, remember, its not from casewill, its from aliexpress, and i don't even know if the seller still sells it. I'm still using it.
Edit: The back seems to be doing great. I was expecting lint balls to form on it. But it seems to be extremely smooth still. Besides the expected dust particles on it, its still in darn good conditions.

I'm not sure which thread to use. Are these real or fake? I took a chance. If they're fake, then I'll tell myself that I just paid more for faster shipping. Haha. It's listed as "used" but the details say brand new, never installed - open box.

CasesWill LunaTik Knock-off
As stated in my previous posting, because of the great knock-off-smanship of CasesWill in the end-product of my Vapor Pro knock-off cases, I had ordered an iPod Nano watch strap case.
It arrived from China in the same 2 week delivery time as all my other products.
I open the manila envelope to reveal a LunaTik knock-off that is packaged the same as my original LunaTik.
Great quality at a great price.

Does anyone know where to get a fake Vapor Pro that has both sections, top and bottom, anodized blue, not painted, with a clear RF Bridge and a blue Ultra Suede back? I can't seem to find one online. An exact link would be greatly appreciated. I love the look on element's web site, but I won't pay $130 for a case. The only blue fake ones I can find have a silver bottom and a black back.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Got mine Vapor Comp Patriot today, only 8 days with the cheapest shipping option from CaseWill. I am very impressed with the case. Fits really nice compared to my authentic purchase that I returned last month. Might need to pick up Black Ops soon.
Any pics coming? I have good and bad things about the quality but I was really hoping to get either the patriot or black ops from caseswill.
Oh and can anyone tell me if the fake cases from come with that authenticity certificate. See some cases on eBay that 'claim' to genuine but as there are so many fakes I'm cautious. Pictured with that certificate though and say genuine in the description. I'm still hesitant.
Thanks

i switched from my black Vapor Comp to the Vapor Comp Patriot. i don't know why, but i think the Vapor Comp Patriot actually fits better. the seems are all consistent and there isn't as much of a "bowing" effect on the poly-carbonate side. it is a few dollars more expensive but i thought it was b/c it came w/ the case. i wish i came w/ a true felt back, but i bought the carbon fiber rear and i like it.
going to buy some transparent red model paint today to make my Red Vapor Comp more red and not as pink.
