Fake Vapor Pro Reviews

Got this from Dealxtreme. They only had two colors, this white one and a gold/yellow.

For $18 with free (slow) shipping. I am very satisfied.

I got my caseswill Vapor Pro R8 today. All I can say is wow. I recently got the Patriot Comp from them, the R8 is even better than expected. I don't see me taking this off for a while.

I got the R8 from them awhile back to are you seeing any antenna issues? I removed mine for that reason also found it was a little bulky I want the R8 Comp version anyone know of any fake ones out yet?
 
Anyone know where to get some replacement foam pads for the inside? Or even replace it with something similar? Mine fell off last time i took the case off and are nowhere to be found :/
 
How to tell a knock off?

These vapor cases are very fine indeed! I'm just currious, with all the low prices you're finding on a few sites.....how are you sure when you're seeing a knock off or the real thing?

I'm just skeptical about such low prices? You're buying this guy right? http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005B8Y250/

Just for "safeties sake", if I were intending to buy a real Vapor case, I'd buy from elementcase.com. Only. Because there's no guarantee that you're buying a real one unless it's directly from them.

For a bootleg, I'd go Caseswill or jacky Lin, though Jackie's stock seems to have dried up.

Have they released the vapor dock from cases in the box?

I remember reading that cases in the box, and caseswill are both the same. But I've never used them so just stick with caseswill to be 100% sure.
 
Any one using comp with the right side rubber grip turn yellowish? How to make it white again?
 
So after 1.5 weeks with the Vapor Pro from Caseswill, I've noticed light flaking/chipping on a few spots. With the one from Jacky Lin, I tossed it around and it never did that.

Anyone get the Patriot Comp? How's it faring?
 
Post #2911 is my patriot comp that I received on 28th May. I've had it on since then and it's as new looking and well fitting as it was the day I got it. Very impressed Caseswill from now on for me based on this. No chips, flakes or scratches. I don't however play hockey with it or drop it daily.

Hate when people gripe saying its not lasted when they clearly abuse the case.

Only one issue was the poor quality back sticker that has a batch number seemingly printed in black letters in the bottom corner?!? Random. I was never using the back sticker anyways so not an issue for me.
 
Lost Hex Key- Need help taking Vapor Pro case from caseswill off

I lost my speed wrench. Does anyone know the size of the hex nuts or what size hex key I would need?

I need to take off the case

Or does have anyone have a spare one that I can buy off of you?

I emailed Caseswill and they supposedly sent me an extra wrench, it's been well over a month and I am tired of being unable to remove it.

is there anyway to remove screws if its head have smoothed? turn n turn also wont come out.

My best guess would be to try to remove all other screws and then gently pop off the case.

I lost mine too, they are either 1.5mm or 2 metric. My Patriot Comp is 1.5. Went to Home Depot and used one off the shelf.
 
Just got my Vapor Comp Patriot today from Caseswill, ordered on 6/02 and got it today in Seattle, 6/09. Everything looks perfect EXCEPT for some minor bowing on the white plastic piece. Anyone knows a fix?! Thanks!

If having it in a zippered pocket and having the case periodically get nicked by the zipper when retrieving the phone is abuse, I'd hate to see what real "abuse" is. The paint is cheap. It is what it is. Relative to the case I got from Jacky Lin, the casewill vapor paint isn't very durable to light nicks. Even the speedwrench causes paint chip at the area where you fix the screws.

I ended up going back to the air jacket. The paint coming off is kind of a nuisance and it doesn't work very well for me when I want to tether my ipad via hotspot.

It's a nice case for 25$ but I aint gonna sugar coat its flaws. Like I said, its cheap and it is what it is.

You asked how anybody else's patriot comp was faring so I replied.

I at no point stated that you 'abuse your iPhone and fake vapor case' I was merely making a generalisation. I have seen cases posted that are in a right state and have CLEARLY been subjected to more than being kept in a zipper pocket and thrown on a desk daily.

I am not disputing the case is cheap and yes it is what it is but considering I keep my phone in my work cargo pants pocket (not zipped granted) and use it in a fashion as I imagine many people use theirs daily I have not seen any difference to the paint work or casing at all since the day I put it on my phone.

Note it is still in the same perfect condition and for having it as long as I have and for the price I paid I am not grumbling. The screws on mine didn't cause any issues to the paint either.

Maybe I overprotect my phone and that's the reason. ???
 
guys, I haven't followed this thread in a while. Are there good cases out there? Can someone please recommend one?

Thanks
