I thought about getting this. Let me know how you like it. Did it come with the plastic inserts? Also, most importantly for me, can you test on and off signal strength via the field test? I would like actual -db numbers. Thanks!!

It did come with the plastic inserts. I went from -91 to -95 at home. Haven't screwed it together as I'm waiting for a back protector but it did fit really well

i want to get a fake vapor 4 silver, is there any recommended seller that sells a high quality knock off?
and also will this type of aluminum bumper scratch the phone?
 
the seller rejected my refund and said sorry i will give you a refund just re-request it again and use "Other" in the drop down menu for the reason to return. I opened it up and in the box where you write the comment it said "Item in best condition" or something like that. Which the first time I requested it was blank and when you click modify it shows what you previously wrote. So he wrote that in there and I just copy pasted what I said the first time and deleted that crap. So hopefully he won't reject again and I can use his message to me if he doesn't allow and file a claim which I can do right now if I wanted and Aliexpress will intervene and make the final decision.
 
Here are the pics of the silver/silver Vapor pro that I got from Jacky Nie.

I think it compliments white iPhone 4s. *just a thought for u guys, before the white ones become better.

NB: All shots were taken from an iPhone 4s.

Received my Vapor Pro white yesterday 10/22 ordered on 10/10. Overall very pleased with the case. I have never seen or felt a real Vapor Pro, but judging from photos, it is impossible to tell that this is fake. The item arrived in perfect condition and with all the implements that the real case comes with - box, soft case, screwdriver+screws, white backing, authenticity card. There are soft black inserts inside the aluminum frame which cushions the antenna. Fitment is perfect. Feels amazing in hand, nice and grippy. Full wifi signal, phone signal normal (I usually have 2-3 bars at home), phone calls sound the same, Bluetooth Jawbone Era sounds great as normal. TONS of compliments.

I ordered some other colors today. $26.32, free shipping. Aliexpress prompts you to verify delivery, to prevent fraud - a nice touch. To have 5-6 cases for the price of one real one - can't beat that.

5/5 stars.

i agree that silver/silver looks awesome but..it doesnt look very much different than how the phone originally looks wouldnt u say?

@VideoNewbie: yea, i purchased from that Jacky Nie. When you are in payment page, see the comment space near the bottom there. That's where you can state your color combination for the parts. I agree it would not look that much different than that of original. But i really love the white color, so i opt for case that is simple but still looks cool.

Can anybody post new white vapor pro case (possibly new batch)? If they have improved, I'll definitely go for that color.

Oh yea, has anybody here tried combining Black Ops case with white iPhone? will it look weird though?

Been thinking about getting it. But still have doubts :(
 
Talked to Daisy/Angela Li just now... said the vapor 4 is a ceramic white paint. Sent me pictures that definitely weren't from Element. Looks fantastic. I think I read somewhere here that someone put a vapor 4 on their new iPhone 4S and found out it doesn't affect signal like the regular iPhone 4 did. Can I get another confirmation about this so I can make the plunge and just get the vapor 4? I think that model looks better anyway.

Wish they would make vapor comp knock-offs so I can be real positive about the signal issue.

Thanks

I think silver is the best color for the white iPhone. I love how it keeps it true to the color of the antenna. Never really liked the white cases. Makes the phone look like all plastic.
 
Just purchased from Cindy. We've been chatting the last couple of days.

$20.77 SHIPPED via Paypal.

I ordered the orange/black vapor pro. I have a white 4S on backorder still from the 24th/premier, and cant wait to see what it looks like!

I will post pics of the case on my white 4S and my black 4 when it arrives.
 
Love seeing these updates as people's cases arrive. It's only been a few days but I'm still rocking my Vapor Pro and I've been super careful with it but no chipped paint or any other issues otherwise. I still haven't put on the suede backing but thinking about doing that next. Any thoughts either way about using the backing?
 
Shipping cost alone is probably $7...so the case costs about $13 :)

That is not bad at all :)

My black ops case from jacky Lin came in today. I guess i'm a luckier one cause my case fits wonderfully. No side to side wiggle at all. Only thing is, if i really force it, it would move back and forth alittle but with normal use, it fits really tight. i can post pictures of the case itself but i don't have another camera besides my iphone so i can't take pictures of it with the case on, sorry. Ill post them up in a bit =)
