Fake Vapor Pro Reviews

i ordered one from Simon, but I'll report back when I get it.

Most of the sellers are saying that the white version has poor quality built in them...they always suggest in getting the other colors.

Since I believe they all come from the same manufacturing, they are all probably the same...so if you can't wait, then just pick any of the sellers :)

Maybe...just maybe, they are perfecting the white ones in the next version.

I do noticed that some seller state "v4 model" or "v5 model"...so there is definitely a version associated to their releases. I believe the v4 is the one with the smaller plastic while the v5 is the ones with the longer plastic part.

I got my white Vapor Pro from Jackie Nie earlier today and it's actually pretty good! In a couple spots you can tell it's just painted white, but beside that I have no quibbles with the bumper. I am also very pleased that there has been no reception or GPS issues for me.

it is a black ops model from jacky nie - http://www.aliexpress.com/snapshot/103030014.html

i have tried refitting it MANY times. i was thinking that it was the pads? they're too thick or something compared to the vapor 4. i do have a new invisible shield maximum protection that has a piece like the spectra wrap, but i thought it would make it worse. i have no idea where it is in my house tho... is there anyone that put on something similar and it helped with fitment?

If anyone wants one of the cases that I have on my image site just let me know I'd be happy to sell and ship it out to you for the price I paid for them, I'm going to keep the Red/Silver case for myself as it looks great :)

I'm not looking to make a profit just make it easier and faster for some fellow MacRumors friends to get a case at a responsible price (just price+shipping+paypal fees) (just PM me)

Also if anyone needs a place to host images for the boards and your image frog keeps running out of bandwith feel free to register at my coppermine I've got unlimited disk space and bandwidth transfer. I'll look at adding some plugin's to make it easier to share pictures on the forums.

i'll take the blue one off your hands if you still got it
 
What's the difference between the regular and black ops version? Do all the black ops ones actually have the word "black ops" down the side?
 
Black Ops edition = "black ops" words on the side, orange plastic, everything black.
Regular Spectra edition = "vapor pro" words on the side, black plastic, everything black

note: the orange plastic on the knock off is more yellowish/clear look.

I just spoke with simon and he gave me poor responses. Told me he was too busy to chat and to speak with Cindy.

I asked her about the quality of their white vapor pro and she said it is not stable, even though simon told me it was good....

Has anyone actually received a case from him yet?


Also, i am looking to get a blue/silver and white case but not sure who to order from.

Help would be much appreciated!
 
white version is not recommend by the sellers for a reason...it's not par with the other color version.

it is probably because of cheap paint...easily to scratch, etc...

Magic, go to aliexpress and search for "vapor pro white" and you'll see bunch of sellers...look at the feedbacks and the number of feedbacks. Chat with them online if you have any questions...

Remember, your money sits in the escrow until you confirm that you received the product.
 
Update: Cindy is really good with customer service, she will video chat with you and send you pics of the cases.

(She sells the same exact product as simon.:p)

She told me that this past month's batch of white vapor pro's are not as good quality as this upcoming batch for this month (november)

I went ahead and ordered the black/silver and white for my white 4s. Total came to 40.75 USD . 18 for the black/silver and 20.75 for the white. Paid through paypal!


Here are pics she gave me.

as you can see, the white/white is BAD... I regret buying it now..should have waited it out. You can clearly see 2 different color on the white.

:(
 
Ok so not going through all the post..Someone PM the best seller..I don't want a white one maybe the blue silver or black..so pm pleaseeeeeeeeee

Ok, thanks. I looked in Jackie Nie's store, and I didn't see the "two color" options under Vapor Pro. But then I click under the "Vapor Pro Black Ops" section and he's got all the color choices. So does this mean only the orange/yellow one will say Black Ops? i.e., if I get a silver/black like I want, it won't say Black Ops, even though it's under the Black Ops section? Because that would be perfect.

Which store is Cindy's? Those pictures look good.
 
I ordered the white from Simon and those pics dont look too bad either and if it ends up with a crappy finish I'll just take it out to the body shop here and get em to blast it then spray it with automotive paint and clear coat and call it a day.

It's not that bad of a color difference in the first pic where it's brightly lit. I'm going to chalk up the difference being most noticeable in certain light conditions. Either way, not enough to deter me.

This is exactly what I would do. In fact, you can pick up touch up car paint online for cheap. I had to buy a white pearl touch up paint for my car and I got a kit for $60. This was a full kit with other coats, sanding paper, etc... I believe the paint by itself was somewhere like $15. A little more for the spray paint.

The only bad thing about painting it yourself will be the lettering on the case. Unless you want to go the extra mile and cut out some taping to cover the lettering, you're going to have to cover it up. Might make it look better though!

This is correct...I actually believe that there is drop-down and you pick either black ops (the one i ordered from Jacky) or vapor pro. Make sure you tell them what color combo you want in the comments section, though.

Good Luck.
 
I had an online chat with Simon this morning. He told me that his new batch of White cases are out, and they look better than the last ones. I ordered one and will let you know what it looks like when I receive it.
 
Hey guys im in the import business and i can get these cases made for cheap @ outstanding quality. If i sold this case for around $20-$25 shipped with 30 day return policy no questions + 1 year warranty would a lot of people here be interested?

I would only be doing this on a small scale of course. not looking to make a crazy profit or anything. Still gotta do the day job :(
