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 :(

Obviously your stuff would sell out judging by all the customers on this thread. Not to mention the lurkers that don't post here, but buy based on reviews.

Hmm, Ill be taking some vapor pro samples with me to china next week and get preliminary prices. Id even be willing to give a few (10-20) cases out for free so you guys can judge the quality.Thanks!
 
Just ordered from Cindy... very nice customer service like others have noted.

Placed an order for a white Vapor Pro will try to post pictures when I receive case.

I'd be up for that. In return, I will do a review on here on the case. I'm new to cellphone accessory reviewing, but I have been reviewing snowboard equipment for the past 3 years so I'm familiar with the schematics of product reviews. Additionally, I would push it through the social media space (I'm a social media director by trade) if they are quality.

PM me if you want some of my examples of work.
 
Just bought a white one from Cindy. Paid through PayPal. She was very helpful through chat. The pictures she sent me looked really good. She said it should ship tomorrow.

i am just in the process of getting some pics myself, would love to see what the difference is as i have a 'inferior quality' white one sitting right here.

she has just sent me some pics, i swear i have seen them before from a different seller though....look exactly the same as the one i have here.

She wasn't able to send me pictures because she wasn't in the office. Any chance you can send them my way? I'll PM you with my e-mail address.

I also ordered a white vapor pro today with her. Used Visa though. Paypal is a nightmare experience for me.

They're the same ones posted on the previous page in this thread. They look pretty good. It's obviously not a great camera. I'll reserve final judgement for when it arrives.
 
darn, I should have waited.... :( oh well..$20.

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.
 
I just want to let everyone know that I received my order for 2 Vapor Pro's from ioffer.com. A blue/silver and an all white. I love them both, but I prefer the blue/silver over the white only because of the quality difference.

The blue/silver case is perfect. The 2 halves butt together seamlessly. Smooth connections all around. No "E" on the plastic insert. No signal loss and from I can tell, no GPS loss. The fir is nice and tight, no wiggle room at all. Color combination is great with a white iPhone. It looks great.

The white Vapor Pro case is nice, but not as clean looking as the blue/silver. The 2 halves on this one don't fir together perfectly, but it still looks good with a white iPhone.

Both cases came with the "Authenticity" card as well as the case and screw driver with 2 extra screws per case.

Unfortunately, I don't have any pictures to post yet, but I will post some later tonight.

I ordered through ioffer.com and I didn't have any issues with the seller. He accepted paypal and the communication was good. The only negative I have about the shipping was with china post and USPS as neither update their site often enough to track the package, but that is in no way a reflection on the seller or the quality of the product.

I hope this helps.
 
i wonder why the white has poor quality vs. the other colors? I would think they use the same material and process but instead a different color right? Hmmm...
 
The white case is painted unlike the other anodized cases.

The part that I found interesting is that the paint completely covers the 2 halves including the connection points. I think I am going to try and sand the connection point to completely remove the paint and smooth them out and see it the fit is any better.
 
I'd be down to do a review in exchange for a free case.. I could get a few responses from my college buddies and see how they like it as well. We'll see if the case can keep up with a college student ;)

Found just about the same response about white anodizing everywhere:
We have anodized thousands of markers and this is what I have found. There are no white dyes made for anodizing. To get an almost white finish your marker needs to be bead blasted similar to a Dust finish. But a true Dust finish is semi gloss, which requires brite dipping which is a tricky expensive process, which we do offer . When Aluminum is not brite dipped and is etched for a long period you get a very dull rough whitish look. While it appears to be almost white it will not last very long and can wear off fast. It will show rub marks and will be hard to clean. Because of that we don’t offer ( White).
If someone came up with a reliable, easy way to make a white anodize, they'd be bankin!

Did find this though: http://www.italfinish.com/public/images/documenti/aacwhiteanod.pdf
