Where are you guys tracking your packages from? I've entered my info on a couple of different sites and nothing comes up yet. I suppose it takes a few days for the info to show up in the systems?
 
my order was "shipped" according to aliexpress on the 28th, and today was the first day I was able to track it. and that was through usps.com, not their hong kong post website.

Definitely use USPS, as that hong kong post website is *****. Mine showed up on usps about 5 days after it was shipped. I'm on my 10th day overall and just saw that it's now in my state (PA) and went through the main facility in Philadelphia. Hoping to have it today or tomorrow...
 
Did you use the padding that is supposed to go between the phone and the case? If you didn't get it some felt or a thin piece of foam rubber in the corners should do the trick.

there was already pieces of rubber placed on the corners inside the case

All I was given was the HK Post tracking, and it doesn't work with USPS..
 
wait 5 days after....

again, USPS has the most outdated tracking system... It just doesn't work...sometimes I get my package delivered and the site has no information on it.

I just rec'd mine and put it on. Looks great! Although, mine is also a bit on the loose side...i wouldn't call it extreme, it just has a little wiggle to it. I'm wondering if just adding some Lucky Labs wraps to the antenna would do the trick. If not, adding a touch more thickness to the pads should probably work. No matter what, it is still worth every penny of the $24 I paid for this thing!
 
anyone received theirs from any other seller yet? about time we had some new pics in this thread ;).
 
Bad pics from my iPad...

I absolutely love it. Feels great, gives much better grip than just the phone itself. I'm thinking of slicing up the felt earpiece and using the strips to tighten up the fitment...it is a tad loose with the factory pads that are in the case.
 
nice! shame it a bit loose.

Does anyone reckon some of these could be cases that didnt make it past quality control for whatever reason?

A lot of them seem to be loose or not finished as well as the OEM cases.
 
so far..we heard complaint about Black Ops edition and the White edition. I haven't heard any complain about the Spectra color edition ones...

I bought two from Jacky Lin - a hot pink and an orange. Both are slightly loose, and unfortunately the hot pink one on my wife's 4 kills her GPS. Oh well, for the price, I can't complain. She'll go back to using her other case. I'll keep the orange for a while as GPS works fine with my 4s.

i've ordered two white ones from two different sellers so i hope this is not the case...if its loose though i can just put some extra material inside fix it correct?

my tracking info just came online it was processed through china on the 28th. i hope i can get it by the end of this week or early next week?

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.

So my point was actually 2 fold and maybe I wasn't clear

1. He DOES NOT need reviewers. what's he's doing is basically getting chinese manufacturers to copy and make an already known product. He's not coming up with some new unknown design

2. People are already ordering from several "unknown" (relatively speaking of course) vendors in droves from the looks of this thread. So the demand is there, mostly because since the pricing is so cheap compared to the original.

3. Combine #1 and #2, and all he needs to do is says he has the product (Vapor X), ships here from the states at $25ish and that's all he needs to do. People will buy it instantly once 1 person takes the plunge to try it out.

So, frankly...no, in this case it's not standard practice when you're just copying another product. He should have enough sense to QA what he's having manufactured since he suggested he already has some real Vapors. He's just wasting money giving it out to people. I mean, really...what can they say. "it's almost like the real thing!"
 
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!

Like everyone I'm down lol
 
I don't have pics, but unfortunately, my white vapor pro's paint is starting to chip off. Unhappy now. I'll be opening a dispute with payapl, even though it is cheap, it should be of decent quality.
