Fake Vapor Pro Reviews

MayBee said:
Please let us know the outcome.

by the way, can you check usps tracking and does it sync up with actual event? mine is still sitting in China for over 2 weeks now with no update from Simon's order :(

Tracking didn't show up for me for almost a week.

I find this tracking system better:

This one was given to me by the seller that is sending me cases to review for you guys.
 
its been two days and simon hasn't really been responsive about my poor quality and fitting case. my time to open a dispute on aliexpress is running short. :rolleyes:

My case will be delivered today. Funny that it came on my birthday. I'll let you guys know how the quality is when I receive it. This one is the white pro from Simon.

By the way, it was shipped on the 27th. So much longer than 10 days for me.

Happy birthday!
 
Since my Westone 3 didn't fit with the Vapor Pro case, I decided to pick up a $5 extension at my local Fry's Electronic store. :D

Well i appear to have found the cases that match the red/silver one i have (glossy finish).

if you scroll down you can see there is a glossy version of selected colours. I have emailed the supplier for further information and pictures. Its a shame they are selling them in lots of 10 though....maybe i can persuade him to sell one.

I'm sure he'll ask what you're willing to pay for one to see if it's worth his time..

It appears that the seller also offers metal inserts to replace the plastic ones. wonder if that kills reception..? Either way, I think it looks pretty nice with the additional metal.
 
Boo, no one was home to accept my package. I wish they would just leave it in the backyard or something.

Guess I gotta wait until tomorrow and pick it up myself.

Pez555, VideoNewbie,

That's where I got mine from. It is my first one and the corner looks flush at the corner. It's pretty secured inside the case. There is a very slight movement from front to back and vice versa, but I have to put force to move it. The authentic might be the same way too so no biggie. And I didn't tight it too hard since I didn't want to strip the screws.

He doesn't accept Paypal.

Maybee did you say he uses HK post? on the link it says china air mail..

also do you know why your link is more expensive than this link (from the same seller)?

http://www.aliexpress.com/product-f...aft-Grade-Aluminium-Case-for-wholesalers.html

arent these the same exact products? and from the same seller no less...weird. it says "best quality" on both links yet theres a clear price difference

ps if he doesnt accept paypal how did u pay?
thanks!
 
Tekcases.com have this case for $129.00 and they have a 10% off on their site.

Here you go....here is my personal opinion...this is on a white 4s model.

* the quality is good
* the off/on button works fine
* some slight movement from back to front but I believe that is due to the thick rubber foam inside. however, I don't think it will fall apart during normal handling of the phone
* it's very light aluminum...it's so light that I feel like it's kind of plastic like.
* it feels great holding it. without the case, I felt like it was going to slip out of my hands. Now, I actually have a grip on it.
* still getting a 5 bar reception
* so far, I love it.

Unfortunately, the case does not work with my WestOne 3 ear-bud set :( I paid $350 for it and now I have to find an extension jack for it :( grrr....

Overall, it's worth the $20-$30 price tag for a bumper case. I still can't believe elementcase is charging $150 price tag for this. Like I said before, I would be very disappointed if had paid $150 for the real thing.

sorry to hear that. The blue/silver is the first edition...probably the reason why the silver looks different. I hope you are able to resolve the issue.

he stated in his listing that he'll ship it HK Air Mail.

Chat with him if you want to confirm it...

Why does he cost more? It's a free market, each person charges whatever price they want. For example, everyone charge it differently on Ebay :) Amazon third party charges different prices too.

There are cheaper listing with different sellers, you can always go with them. Your choice...many options for you to choose.

I think others need to understand that Aliexpress is like eBay....and then you have tons of seller using their service to advertise their stuff.

I pay through my credit card. If you are not comfortable in paying through credit card, then you need to find other seller that accept paypal. However, it will be outside of Aliexpress. If you have issues, then you need to deal with paypal.

Have any of you ordered/ seen the silver/ black Vapor Pro? If so how does it look and could you post a link?
 
i went through dhgate for my orders and they accept paypal. The only thing is I have not received my first white case since the 29th of Oct. I will post pics. I also ordered one yesterday. No email on shipped for the second but hopefully turning out good.

Correction: here is the link of the actual product silver/silver that I ordered. Earlier I quoted a link from the same seller, but it was a Chroma series. This one is the Spectra series with the clear plastic. keep in mind, he's not the cheapest. If you don't want to pay the extra, then you can always go with other sellers.

Yeesh. I ordered the Chroma, not noticing the hazy looking insert. I was wanting the clear. I'm going to contact the seller.
 
Got mine in the snail mail (Black black ops), looks as good as a real one but I'm still not impressed. Can't understand how people pay $100-150 for this. Anyone want?
 
I quoted from someone else as being the correct seller only. However, I noticed several hours later that the previous person quoted a different style so that's why I made my change.

The seller is cool....contact him and ask him to change it...

I find this thread so confusing now. So many people posting so many sellers and links...it is no wonder we get the same question over and over.

I have posted my recommendation repeated 5x times already :) Check previous posts above...
