if anyone is interested i have an extra white vapor pro that is loose fitting. i tried to do the sanding stuff but i'm not very handy. i'd rather just get rid of it. selling i'll sell it for around $15 plus whatever actual shipping is. comes with box and all accessories. PM me.
 
good price....

I would buy it if I didn't have one already.

The sanding part is not too bad...time consuming...

I decided to remove my old wrapper color and mix it with white and silver case...and put only 1 side blue wrapper color to give it a different look to it cause I didn't want a silver case blending in with the silver antenna. The white case blending the silver antenna is a nice contrast.

I like it. BTW I made my cleave work... the grooves on the inside was cut just a little bit off...
 
Probably won't be much better. Mine wasn't. Probably selling the 3 cases I just received. GPS worthless, and phone signal too weak in certain areas.

Do you have a 4 or 4s? Can you also let us know if you have the version of the case with the longer plastic insert? I have a 4 and fear that it will kill my GPS as well.

nice contrast!!
 
I have a White iPhone 4S and it fits perfectly. The signal is not degraded enough for me to notice the difference.


Here is the issue. For the most part, I lose a little signal and don't care. But, when I go to an area where signal is 1-2 bars to begin with, I then lose phone connection. It happened with Vapor 4 and also with the vapor Pro.
I just can't afford to have a phone that works most of the time. I need it to work wherever I am. Also, my 2 boys have the cases on their phones and the find my iPhone function won't allow me to accurately track their location. It shows the phone a couple houses away from where they actually are. If they lose the phone like they have done before, I am out of luck trying to find it.

I have a 4. Maybe the 4s is better. No clue. Some here have a 4s and they seem to be ok.
 
Has anyone tried taking the sim card out with the case on?
Can you confirm it works or doesn't?
 
Looks good Maybee. Have you taken any photos with your new look.

thanks. yes, I did...the picture is the new look. I didn't want too much blue to distract the original white color. If you look closer, the top is white case, while the other half is silver with a blue wrap inside.

Yes, mine works. taking sim out with case works.

Mine does not, doesn't bother me since I don't ever take it out.
Jackie Lin here. I'm sure I could adjust it to maybe fit better but the phone is snug so far. Worth $27 any day of the week.
 
Uploaded my pictures on Flickr but it's kind of hard to post it on the forum from my phone.
Sorry for the tease.
 
Based on tracking might should be here tomorrow. A few days under 2 weeks. Order the silver one from Jackie Nie. I'm starting to get a little worried about reception, in the house it isn't great to begin with. I guess I'll find out soon.
 
looks just like the real thing lol. How more people arent buying the fake ones and opt for the real thing baffles me.

Why spend $150 when you can spend $25!

To support ElementCase. They put in the work to create a product and then some other company comes along and copies it and sells it under the same branding. To me, I find that unethical because the fake company did no work to build a brand.
 
Its interesting....I purchased a REAL Element Vapor Pro (with 20% discount) and would be totally happy with product if I did not see all these good quality replicas being sold at a fraction of the price.

Anybody find any of the new Element Vapor R8 Pro on AliExpress.com anywhere?

https://www.elementcase.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=API4-1118-XXFU

MS

That version was just announced today...

Just get a fake black Vapor Pro and a fake white one and mix and match them.

The copies will likely just do that with the same lower quality finishes that they have now and just add a copy of that R8 style back plate.

If you compared your real REAL Element Vapor Pro with a copy first hand like I did, you would be happy.
 
Got mine today. Very happy with it from a quality standpoint. I do have a best skins ever on the side so that might be it fit very snug. It's a shame element hasn't made the arctic tactical case for the 4S, I probably would have bought one even though there rather overpriced. I really have grown to like the book book but on days when I want to take pics I hate it. I'll see if I can take a few pics tonight.
 
Thanks Mr. Scott,

Just went back to read your comparison review....I feel much better:)

MS

My real Vapor Pro is a Black Stealth version. I got a Silver copy to see if the quality was as good and to be able the switch my case colors from time to time. After owning and comparing the quality first hand, I sold the copy for what I paid.

If you had the copy and never saw a real Vapor Pro other that in pictures, you would probably be happy with it. Then again, if you had an average plastic android phone and never saw the quality of an iPhone other than in pictures, you would probably be happy with that too.
