Fake Vapor Pro Reviews

Man, I want to get those cases from Ada Li. Can't decide on color combo :/

Silver - clear - blue or silver - orange - blue? Or blue first then silver?

I do want that silver - clear - gray though. That gray color looks sharp with the silver.

Decisions decisions. Red one looks nice too haha. Hey Pezz, how do you like that orange tab? Think it would look good on with the other colors besides the black and all silver ones?

hmmm, it would look great on a white or black, but i suppose that is what the black ops is for. Not sure about any other colour, apart from orange or course.

those vapor comps look ok, the plastic doesnt look as well coloured as the OEM versions. If it was a bit darker and matched the aluminium more then i could be tempted...
 
As much as I like the look of this on my white 4S it's just too bulky for my liking. If anyone's looking for a silver vapor pro from Jackie Nie, I'll sell it, I don't really need it only used it for about 2 weeks.

Can I order any combo if I specify? For example I would like to mix white and silver. Can they do that for me or will I need to buy 2 cases?

Could anybody answer this for me? Im looking to purchase a case later today.

Can anybody with iPhone 4s comment on these vapor cases, I tend to use GPS often. Also how is it with signal strength and wifi?

since the 4s has the new antennas, it doesnt have any drop in signal or gps loss. if you click back a few pages someone posted screen shots of their signal strength with and without the case on, barely a difference at all

Anyone have the red/red one? I emailed jackie lin about it and he said the red/red one is not good quality. So idk which color I want now, white one is bad quality, and the red one he says is bad quality, my two colors i want :(

I asked him about the red/silver one and silver/silver one for my white 4s.

If you really want the red/red combo I would suggest checking with Ada Li. She recently started offering same color combos. I just received a case that I ordered for my girlfriend, silver/purple and the quality is great!

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.

I want THIS one. Which seller would have this model? They all have different ones when it comes to silver. I like the matte finish!

anyone seen these?

http://www.aliexpress.com/store/708...nium-metal-cell-phone-case-for-iphone-4g.html

pretty cool. This seller also has different colour variations where the colours are swapped to the other side (sim slot side), instead of the side with the mute/volume buttons.

I have emailed the seller for more pictures.

Thanks a million Pez555 for sharing your find of Ada Li's store!! Here's a silver/purple case that I ordered from her for my girlfriends White Iphone 4. I am really pleased with this case I feel that the quality, look, and fit is excellent. There hasn't been any noticeable signal loss it appears to be as normal. My girlfriend couldn't be happier especially when I told her the Vapor Pro's don't come in purple, Lol. I ordered it on 11/8/11 and with the China Post free shipping option it was delivered on 11/28/11.

That combo looks great! Does Ada Li sell custom colors as well as lets you mix and match the two colors of each piece of the vapor pro?

I know you can mix and match the colors she has listed as available at her store. But I'm not sure about the availability of custom colors. Send her a message or try chatting with her. She's pretty responsive.
 
seems like ada li and jackie lin is the two most popular sellers.

does anybody see a difference between each other for Vapor pro and vapor 4. looking to get either or both black ops or complete black or silver

I just ordered from Ada Li... I ran into a few hurdles though that I will attribute to language barrier. I thought Ada's co-worker, Celia wanted me to order from the 3pc lot and that she would customize the price and order for me. I was wrong. So I have to wait until Aliexpress verifies my credit card transaction so I can cancel that order before they ship it. Meanwhile, I placed the right order through Ada. Both Celia and Ada were very helpful with answering questions and providing pictures and such.

I was able to completely customize my colors. So I chose:

Blue - clear - silver

Silver - clear - red

I really wanted the blue on left side, but I wanted to maximize my investment. Putting the blue on the left side means I can mix the silver's together to make an all silver case.

I now have 4 cases in two this way. Wonder how the blue and red would look together.

By the way guys, don't get titanium. It's the brownish color. The Gray one looks more like titanium which confused me. So gray if you're looking for that darker silver.

To the person that asked about these cases being compatible with skins... they are. If you look through this thread, almost all of us have skins on our phones.
 
Looking to pick one of these up from someone in the States...black/silver/gray combos, just PM me!

Thanks, the Trunket on previous, is that a skin or a back plate, or is there even a difference?

Dang, i may have gotten my threads mixed...

Would the case and this Trunket fit together?
 
The Trunket is a skin made from real wood. Should fit as these bumpers fit around the metal band.

Not 100% sure though as those Trunket skins look fairly thick.
 
My love affair is over with my white Vapor Pro. I got it fitting nice and tight and it's pretty good quality. It's nice, but boy would I have been royally pissed if I spent $150 for it. Anyway, I was wondering if anyone had sold theirs on eBay. I don't plan on trying to pass it off as genuine. I would post it as a replica. Is that allowed? And if the person that bought it reported it as fake to paypal or something would I be out the money even though the auction clearly stated it was a replica?

No, it's not allowed.

You do realize how many replica/counterfeit items are actually sold on eBay, right?
Click to expand...

The thing is, those listings don't say they are counterfeit. I have been "policing" many of them.

They all deny it and claim it's real. One guy even said he has the Certificate of Authenticity.

I schooled him on the knock-offs. He got scared that he might have a knock-off and said he would check when he got home. Haven't heard from him since. I recently checked his listing. Some poor schmuck bought that thing for $70.
 
Received my blue vapor pro case yesterday from Cindy! Beautiful case, with clear insert. Looks and feels awesome. Quality seems great - very happy!
 
If anyone was curious the Chinese and Real Element Vapor cases fit with each other. Just have to use the screws from the chinese ones on the top fitting and the element on the bottom fitting.
