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. ???

No offense taken. Just stating that the paint is cheap compared to the one Jacky Lin carries and the latter's case that I had, took a beating and not a single nick. Just disappointed after reading how everyone was rah rah about Caseswill and not only did it take 3weeks to arrive, BAM, cheap paint. Was expecting a bit better or at least on par with one from Aliexpress.

Maybe the comp's are better, I dunno-hence, my question
 
Don't these cheap knockoffs kill your reception?

Reception-not really. But I found the BT/Wifi hotspot to be hit or miss, like when you use hte phone as a modem. On it's own though, surfing and receiving calls are fine
 
To confirm some others' suspicions, my Caseswill Vapor Pro is indeed seeing more wear than my Jacky Lin Pro. I guess the only abuse that I could suggest that I do to the case, is testing and refitting it so that it sits the way I want it to, and thus the wear is around the screw holes.

For the most part. If you're on a 2gb plan and are in an area where the WiFi is already spotty without needing an aluminum case to interfere, you're gonna notice you aren't on WiFi as much. That's just from my experience.

The issue I've had was using it as a hotspot. it didn't seem to want to transmit the signal or allow other devices to hotspot onto it.

I wonder how hte Patriot comp from jacky lin/aliexpress is
 
I want a white fake vapor pro case. Can you guys help me to choose one?

1) I don't want too much bulk. I want a case as slim as possible.
2) I want a full white case as much as possible. No other color.
3) I like a case with back plate as well.
4) i liked two cases. Vapor pro spectra and vapor pro comp. In spectra i couldn't find a white one. And in comp there is a "Epiphany White edition". Is that a good case?

I know i am asking more questions. But you guys knows a lot of stuff about these case. Little help would be really appreciated.

Note: I have gone through all the pages in this thread. I may not have read all of them but looked at the most of the pictures and read most of the reviews.
 
Just ordered a red/black Vapor Pro Spectra from Caseswill the other day, and I'm looking for some back protection. I wanted to get a Teksure skin, but a few comments have said that they don't fit properly with the case.

Can anyone recommend any backplates to use?

I would use cases in the box never had a problem them
 
Just got my Vapor 4 from eBay today - looks great! Feels a good weight, but at the same time not too heavy. Also the carbon fibre skin looks awesome with the red/black case!

Anyone have any good carbon fibre wallpapers that match?

how much on the bay?
 
i do not suggest anyone buy the Vapro pro from Ebay, the quality is not very good .. Caseswill's are better...
 
Does anyone else have a current order from Caseswill? I placed an order for a Vapor Pro with free shopping on the 15th, and latest update on the USPS tracking site is from the 18th and says "Origin post is preparing shipment". Since then there have been no tracking updates :/
