These are from Jacky. I got the red one shown and the all blue one. Fitment it excellent with both of them. No gaps at the corner and snug to the phone.

Bought on 10-24-11 tried to be delivered 11-1, had to pick up from post office since I wasn't home and a signature was required. I used EMS shipping.

No issues with wi-fi, GPS or cellular signal.

Hmm, so it looks like two people just received their orders recently from Jacky Nie but one received the older version with the short plastic inserts and you got the ones with the longer inserts. I also ordered from this seller and hope mine's is like yours with the longer insert.
 
i ordered mine from jacky nie on the 24th as well. it shipped on the 26th and the last update is that its still in china!

In all fairness to Jacky Nie it wasn't random. I ordered from this page: http://www.aliexpress.com/product-f...hone-4-Aluminium-Bumper-Case-wholesalers.html. This shows the shorter plastic insert (something I didn't notice or care about).

SAL8116 ordered from the same seller but different page which shows the longer plastic insert. So you will get exactly what you ordered.
 
Hi everyone

I order from Cindy a white vapor pro as of this past sunday it showed that it had gotten to NY. The problem I am having is its been 3 days and its still shows that the last scan was in NY and I still have not gotten it. I called USPS and they told me same thing that it was processed through NY on sunday the 30th and said there were no more details he could give me. I live in FL I would have thought I would have gotten it by now should I be worried or contact cindy ?

Thanks

Just chatted with Cindy and they are getting the new and improved batch of white Vapor Pro cases today ....

Says its ceramic white.. Wonder if that's what they named the color, or if in fact they used a ceramic to coat it.

Either way, the pics in that link make me envy those of you with a white iPhone lol. The two whites look celery nice together IMO..

Its actually the colour of ceramic white. I did some research on white anodizing.

Apparently its almost impossible to apply white anodizing dye to aluminium. I wonder if theres other ways to make "white cases" without paint.

I know its off topic discussing how about the colour white but why dont case company try to use "fine bone" to be made in cases or "Ivory"?
 
don't worry...USPS does not provide accurate update like fedex or ups.

I ordered a week, and my update that the package is still in China LOL. I'm not worry because free shipping estimated is 14-21 days :)...it has only been 8 days for me.

I regret already ordering the white from Simon...should have waited....I don't want to pay another $20 for another case....the total is almost creeping up to an authentic case from elementcase LOL...so far..spending $47 dollars for 2 case...another $20 will bring it up to $70 :(

Just got my black ops from jacky Lin. And have put it on the phone.


All I can saw is WOW. Ordered on the 21/10 and it's here today. No loseness on the case at all it looks amazing on the phone and no degradation in signal or wifi. Haven't tested GPS yet. For £13 this is te best case ever. Looks bang on.
Very very happy and thank you to everyone on this thread.

That's good to hear. I also ordered the Black Ops from Jacky Lin and was worried after I heard the complaints on the looseness of the case. Tracking shows it is in NY so I am just waiting for mine to get here on the West Coast. I did email Jacky about the feedback on the forum and he replied that if there is any problem, he will work with me.

Very good to hear. Mine is in new York as well.

Ah, I see what you mean. I guess I can be expecting the one with the shorter insert then. I really like the blue/silver combo with the black insert so that's what I ordered. She doesn't seem to offer an option to mix colors for the ones with the longer insert. Oh well, no biggie. I'm looking forward to receiving the case.

I ordered on the 21st and USPS tracking still only shows that it was being processed in Beijing China on the 29th.
 
Just checked USPS and my package has been updated and showing its in my hometown should have it tomorrow. Will post pics once I get it.

I think you are right. The longer plastic insert case is all one color. You cannot mix colors.

The other link allows you mix/match colors. Its possible the single color cases have a better fit.

I would contact Simon, express that you are very dissatisfied with the quality, and see if he'll arrange for you to send back your old white one in exchange for one of the newer versions..
 
I chatted with Jacky (GuangDog) about 2 weeks ago and asked about the availability of the White Vapor Pro. He told they took them down due to quality issues.

Judging by the recent pictures, it appears he definitely wasn't lying. I'm pretty sure most of the sellers get them from the same source.

Stay away from the White Vapor Pro's until someone can confirm higher quality ones are available!
 
Yep, I'll be asking him once I received it :)

+1

Jacky warned me about it too so I decided to get the silver/silver from him instead.

Buyer should wait until someone confirm that the latest batch is better quality for the white version :)

Which case is the vapor 4 copying? Non pro. I see it on jacky Lin store. Looks nice just curious about signal issues if it is full aluminum.

Difference is, even if you spend $70, you have 3 cases. And you still have chump change to buy more to equal the cost of the real one.
 
I have a white version from Simon coming in either tomorrow or monday. hopefully it will be good.

now with this new ceramic version which very well may be a ceramic finish which would be amazing but also prone to chipping the coating would be more durable and resemble a powder coated finish.
 
Just checked tracking and my Black Ops from Jackie Lin will be here today. Hopefully I get lucky and it fits perfect like the last one. I'll post impressions this afternoon.
