Fake Vapor Pro Reviews

maybe people can start sending him a PM, instead of clogging up the thread with posts asking for a free case...:rolleyes:

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!

I wouldn't even bother with going free since everybody and their mother are going to try to leech it off you (as shown by the replies to this thread).

Even if you charged like $10 for people to test, they'd pay it and frankly, people are taking the plunge and ordering directly from china anyways...so I would even say don't bother. just sell them for your price and people will pay because it's like 90% cheaper than the real thing.

Sending out free samples for review is standard practice. reviewers aren't supposed to pay for their reviews. Furthermore, if you're concerned about mooching, you simply require the sample to be sent back.

You should also choose your reviewers wisely. This is why I told him I'll provide my credentials as a reviewer. Although I don't review iPhone accessories, I deal with higher Priced goods, snowboards. Does this mean I should get one? Certainly not. There probably people here who review accessories regularly. I'm just showing I have proof of my work and the sales it generates in another industry.
 
the cases should just be sent to the people who frequently review it and people can go off of that. the guy from gadgetmac (i forget his name) and larry greenburg (sp?).

now can we get back to talking about these cases as opposed to everyone making a case as to why they should get one for free? :)

EDIT: actually, i don't think they'll want to review knock off products...

got a little ding in the corner, wasnt a massive drop just slipped off my lap onto the handbrake. Paint hasnt chipped or anything so i am assuming these are definitely anodized.
 
you got lucky that the front or back hit an object on the ground :)

Remember, there are many little electronic gadget inside that could have moved or shorted inside that would make your phone functional still :)

any drop is not good for electronic :)

It's nice to know that you only got a chip on the case though :)

seems like a lot of damage for just a small drop?!

yea i think its quite soft, must have landed directly on an edge or something (didnt see as i was driving at the time). Definitely no damage to the phone at all, wasnt a big enough drop to do any kind of damage.
 
So, I just placed an order for Lucky Labs' Teksure back and the spectra wrap. Will this case not fit with the Spectra Wrap? If not, then I'll just have to stick with the naked look...dang my trigger finger! I really like the looks of these cases too.

yep, i am currently using the transparent spectra wrap on my 4S - just to double ensure there is no damage to the antenna!
 
I bought a cheapy Vapor 4 copy case from Jacky Lin at XunJinDa late last week just to test the waters with these cases and the shipping from China to Australia. It was something like $9 USD so happy to spend that on an experiment.

Just got a notice from today from Aliexpress saying the shipment had been made so we will see what happens now.

I am kind of digging on the Black Ops cases so I might look at getting one of them in the future. Would be nice if our Chinese friends manage to match the plastic insert colour better on future revisions....
 
Will be getting my white one finally tomorrow after about 21 days of waiting so I'll leave a review tomorrow
 
Just ordered two cases from Cindy. One black ops, one vapor pro white. 12 days shipping time, $44 through PayPal.

Hope the cases are as good as the service!

I know this is basically just repeating the others but I'd also be in for a review case.

I'm still looking at which seller to use and who has the best ratings.
