Glad to help, I will post a pic of it on the phone tomorrow..if you can wait just get it shipped through the free service. I think it is business hours in CHina right now so talk to them and ask how long it takes.
Got a tip for us?

Here is some angles of the case..sorry for the bad pics, I was too lazy to take better ones with the new phone. I also do not have a pic of the case on the phone because my camera is broken..

Whoever ordered this case, I think you will be very happy with it for the price that we paid. There are no scratches on the bumper. And the fitment is great. Forget paying retail for this case and get the ones from CHina..buy yourself a bunch of apps or something else with the $100 instead
looks good, and exactly like the one being sent to me (with the longer plastic insert).
the red and silver one i ordered from here:
http://www.aliexpress.com/store/105...ted-Edition-case-for-mobile-phone-IP-606.html
will be here in a few days. I have had an update on the shipping status saying it is now within the country being processed. Bare in mind that this has the shorter plastic insert so i assume the quality will not be amazing....will wait and see!
Haven't had an update on the white one (which i subsequently ordered earlier than the red and silver) yet. For info i ordered the white from here:
http://www.aliexpress.com/product-f...umper-for-iPhone-4-Wholesale-wholesalers.html
Will keep you all posted.

Okay, guys. Get ready for a BUNCH of pictures. Again, I got my Black Ops case from this seller for $24.74 with free shipping for my new 64GB 4S.

It only took about a week from China. Got it yesterday. I took a bunch of pics. Since I can only attach 5 photos at a time I'm going to split this into two posts.

So long story short, I'm pretty happy with the case. No reception problems and the fitment is good. Then again, I have the 4S, and supposedly reception is a lot better anyway. The black power button on top works very well too.
The two problems I have are that the "RF insert" doesn't look as orange as the legit Black Ops case looks. It's more of a clear yellow.
The other problem I have is that I scratched up the insert while unscrewing the screws. The plastic seems a little soft and I unintentionally leaned the screwdriver against it while I was taking the case apart. This caused the scratches you see below and they drive me a little crazy now. I can put up with it, but I just wish I would've been more careful.
It's a very nice case for the money. I wasn't going to use the suede insert originally, but it looks nicer than I thought in person. I already have a Power Support Crystal screen protector (HIGHLY RECOMMENDED) on both the front and back though. And I'm pretty sure that if I ever change my mind to take off the suede, I'd rip off the screen protector too. So i'm still debating whether to use it or not. It is very nice though so I'm tempted.
Overall, I'm happy with it considering the price I paid for it. I'm pretty happy. If I were to scratch up a $100+ legit black ops case the way I scratched up this one, I'd be very upset. But I'll take this as a learning experience I guess. I thought this would be my final end all case, but I think I might experiment with more knock off cases. For the price, you can't go wrong!
Again, this is the seller who I got it from:

Agreed... even if it lasts 1 year instead of 2 you can change out colors every day of the week and still have money to spare over buying one of the originals...
Thanks guys!
I tested the signal and GPS and noticed no degradation in signal quality. I've been meaning to download an app that measures it precisely, but I haven't really had a need to. If there is, it's very miniscule and doesn't affect the visual "bars". It might just be the 4S's new antenna though that helps it. Can't really say how it'll fare on an iPhone 4.
I have a 4S and it fits perfectly. I just edited my earlier post to add that in.
Yeah, I agree too. It looks pretty great in person and comes with all the accessories as the original. I'm kinda bummed about the scratch, but I can live with it. I mean cases are supposed get beat up so the phone doesn't right?
I'm just trying to justify it to myself I guess.. lol.
But yeah, great case. SO tempted to use the suede insert. lol. Probably gonna buy more knockoffs now. lol.

the problem i now have is that i want to spend $150 on these fake vapor's. Would love one in every colour!
I was exactly the same way. lol. I want them all!
Btw, does anyone know off hand the app that everyone uses to measure signal quality? Like I said earlier, I haven't seen any noticeable differences, but I'd like to the see the precise numbers with this case and share them with everybody.

to be honest, you might as well buy another one to replace the one you have as it will probably get beat up a bit anyway. The one i have on at the moment has a few marks on the plastic insert but its not really an issue, still looks gorgeous on the phone.
i cant wait to get my white one, and eventually my white iPhone 4S!
Anyone see this on that site?

The silver one looks really sharp!

Anyone have experience with the 'fake' Vapor 4?
I am thinking of getting this one in Pink/White for my girlfriend
----------
Just watch it, there's a min order of 10 pieces per lot. I've noticed most of the items are sold in lots rather than pieces.

open phone app, dial *3001#12345#*, a new window opens up, your reception becomes a number in db, tap it and it becomes the bars again, bigger number = better reception (-80 > -100)...
if you don't mind please get a reading of the db with and without case, thanks!
I paid via credit card. I would've loved to pay via paypal, but wasn't given an option to. I felt a little wary though because of the lack of a https:// connection, but I have a good theft protection on my card just in case.
Ok, so here come the pics! Thanks for the tip maximus. I was just going to take a screen capture with the iPhone, but thought it would be better for people to actually SEE the db numbers with the case on and off.
Pretty good results if you ask me!

dB Reading knockoff Black Ops case:
The case numbers are actually better! lol. I'm sure it's just fluctuations in the network though. I doubt the case actually improves the reception, I think it just shows that it doesn't affect it.
Again, this is with an iPhone 4S. No clue on what the numbers would be on a 4.
And just for fun...
