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 :/

That is normal. You will receive an update when it hits the United States.
Probably today or tomorrow.

The tracking never worked for me. But the case arrived in 18 days to western canada

I ordered on 7/13, received my shipping confirmation on 7/14 and received it today, 7/27 in San Diego, CA. I chose the free shipping option without tracking and it didn't require a signature either.

I've ordered packages using China Post with tracking and most times USPS doesn't even update until it's already in my city so I wouldn't even worry about it.

My Vapor Comp arrived yesterday (I ordered 6/16 and it shipped 6/17) via free shipping option. I wish I had a real Element Vapor Comp to compare it to, but I do believe it is worth the $8.99 I spent.

So far I have had zero issues with signal, wi-fi, or GPS signal loss.

I'll post some pictures if anyone is interested.
 
signal loss with vapor case

After I installed it last night, my signal has gone down tremendously...the max bar I had at home with my micro cell tower was 3 bars. Now I am at work and am always on edge network.

Can you help with a fix for this?
 
I believe it's the vapor 4

I like the look, but if it kills my reception, I have to take it off.

Also, the top screw area is not perfectly aligned like the bottom. You get what you pay for I guess.

Unfortunately the Vapor 4 kills signal. The Vapor Pro was the case that included the RF piece to fix the signal issues.
 
Can you tell which other vapor cases has signal issues? I was interested in vapor comp and vapor 8.

Comps do not have signal issue either. Do you mean you the R8? As long as it is the Vapor Pro or Vapor Comp, you won't have major signal issue. I assume it still does but maybe like -5db, which you won't notice.

I should add, GPS might be a little off as well. It still works but the tracking isn't as accurate as before. I have had no problems lately using it, but just an observation.
 
How well does this case protect against drops from say 4-5 feet? Is it as good as your run of the mill rubber/silicone/TPU bumper case, better or worse?

Thanks.

Which vendor did you purchase from? can you post a link please? Sounds great at $9!

Could you as well post a link to your vendor? I love the R8 style, and with only a small reduction, its worth it i suppose.

I dropped my phone about 4 feet onto asphalt and it took a bit of metal off the corner but protected my phone from any damage
 
Hi, I placed an order recently with Jacky Lin and was wondering how long it takes to arrive. I'm on the East Coast in the US.

For the past several days, the tracking info has said

Anyone plunk down the loot to buy one of the knockoff Vapor docks? It's a little higher then it normally is as far as relative cost to the original, but I am seriously thinking about it.

I would LOVE to see some reviews of the fake dock. $38 is reasonable.
