Fake Vapor Pro Reviews

Has anyone ordered the vapor comp from Cindy jacky ect aliexpress vendors? Just curious what the quality is going to be like
 
Vapor Comp

I ordered 6 Vapor Comp one of each color from a different vendor. Had them shipped DHL still waiting for them to leave China. Will let you guys know what they look like when I get them
 
Anyone else wish they would come out with a green color?

I also wouldn't mind if they stopped including the COA and tweaked the design a tad and called it something else. They would still sell like hotcakes without all the negativity from people around here :p

One of the problems with these particular cases is that it causes a lot of negative reaction. Posting these for sale in the market section will likely turn into a debate thread.
 
Received my lookalike "Vapor Pro" and "Black Ops" cases yesterday...
I purchased from Jackie Lin, package arrived in good condition, granted shipping is slow from China - but no fault to Jackie. Based on what I received today I would not hesitate in ordering from him again...

Put the Black Ops one on last night and I'm very pleased with it, fit and finish is perfect on it...

Did not see any drop in my cell phone coverage, wifi is also still good, but I did see my GPS accuracy get reduced - it has a harder time finding location now...

Anyway some pics, this is with my Trunket Back...I have to say having metal and wood finish feels really nice in my hand...

Alongside my Red/Black Vapor Pro, the Red is more pinkish in person...Not sure I like the color in person, I may not even use this case and get a different color instead...

Also received my Black Ops from Jackie this week & will duplicate the sentiments of many in stating that the quality & fit are perfect. I was expecting the possibility of slight mis-alignment issues but the case has none. Even the pad inserts were cut & fitted perfectly.

I also received my Graft Leverage last week & although I warmed up to that case over the weekend I must admit I was immediately impressed with the Black Ops & absolutely love the look, feel & lightness of the case. Rockin' the Black Ops this weekend.

just got my vapor pro case

I just got my vapor pro case in the mail today. shipping took about 2 weeks. packaging was appropriate for the item and overall it seems to be a great quality case. I got the black and gold case which looks nice on the black iphone. I like how the case adds a little bulk to the phone. Im coming from a motorola android device which was a little larger. I love the felt back, even though it does have a tendency to pick up a lot of dirt. Thats less then an issue though. I do have one issue and want to know from your guys experience. The insert for the antenna isnt flush with the rest of the case. It has edges on it that kind of stick out a little. Anyone else notice this issue?

While I love the look of your black ops (it's what I use as well, so I may be a bit biased :p ), I'm not sure the blue lucky labs look right with it. Obviously it's just my opinion....and to each their own.
 
Well here is my experience albeit a little different.

I was about to order one of these cases from Jackie or Cindy. Then I thought, let me check Craigslist. I live in Atlanta and sure enough, there was an ad for authentic Vapor Pro Spectres from $59. I called and the seller responded quickly. I questioned whether these were actually real and he wouldn't confirm or deny but told me he would sell me a case for $40. I know the prices are better on the websites but I didn't want to wait and I also didn't want to take a chance of getting a bad fitting case.

I met his wife at a local Target and was able to look at the cases. They are exactly like the ones in this thread and includes boxes and all accessories. They had blue, pink, orange silver and black Spectres. I wanted the all silver version but I tried it on my phone and it was loose and one screw was already stripped. Then I tried the silver and black and it was perfect. Much tighter fit and very solid.

I love this case so far. I did pay a touch more but I feel like I was able to handpick my case. I felt better about this over ordering and taking a chance. So if you're in the Atlanta area, check Craigslist. He only has about 5 left and is not ordering more. Now that I have what I wanted, I may pick up a comp off the website. I don't have a problem waiting now.

thats just it, i would prefer knowing what case was going to be sent to me before it was shipped. Some sellers on ali express are happy to take pics of the case before shipping it out to you, but its good that you got a hands on and were able to see if the case fitted perfectly.

Your opinion is welcome, and yes I would tend to agree also...But I'm pretty sure I'm one of the very few with this combo right now...
The blue wrap complimented the Trunket Sea Blue wood cover rather nicely, but with the Black Ops aluminum case it is perhaps a conflicted look...

The beauty of Lucky Labs wraps is they are cheap and easily replaceable...

I have the Black Matte finish, and transparent...
And I had on order Orange, Green, Red, Silver, Black and Olympic Blue, also ordered the carbon fiber look as well. It should be in my mailbox today or Monday :) So lots of color choices...

Key thing for me with the Lucky Lab is the protection they offer to the antenna, and it's a bonus that they are a awesome company with great customer service...

The problem with getting pics from the aliexpress sellers is that not all of them are completely honest. For example, I got some nice looking real life pics from a seller for the white vapor pro. They never mentioned any problems/faults with the case, but when it arrived, it looked like crap. There were tiny black specs on the case. Also the fit wasnt as good as the silver one I had received from another seller (which was perfect).

Come to think of it, i have had 4 transactions with 4 different sellers and only two of them were to my satisfaction as far as fit/quality goes. Ebaysz was the worst, sending me wrong colors and then giving me the runaround. I still havent received a refund from that seller (Ebaysz, Debayz whatever their name is, they have multiple names and listings). The other seller was very quick to provide a refund for the bad White vapor pro, so I wont mention their name.

I dont think the shape of the Vapor Comp is very exciting, personally. Looks like a mickey mouse kinda case. The Vapor pro looks much nicer IMHO. One of my friends has a Vapor 4 in Satin nickel, what a beautiful case, even though it has signal reception issues.
