Fake Vapor Pro Reviews

[Jongo1]

I've read and saw each post. Only two phones actually have the case on them. I'm hoping someone with a white iphone post pictures or one with a all white vapor post one.

Or better yet a white iPhone with this case.

Hey guys,
Just giving you an update. I received the black ops case replica and a genuine blood red/ black from element as can be seen below.
black ops
blood red


I chose the free shipping from china, and it took approx, a 10 days to arrive (suspiciously the same time as from Element). Jacky from aliexpress.com answered multiple questions from me while Element answered none of my questions or concerns.

After using each case, I have to say I am thoroughly impressed by the quality of the china black ops case. These guys went to a lot of trouble to insure that it is quite hard to tell a difference, and i have to say they did a good job. I don't have time to post pics now, but I will note a couple of my observations of the minute differences. On the inner lining of the cases exists a thin foam insert to prevent scratching, and assist with reception. I actually like the quality of the knockoff inserts over the element inserts, they look a tad more substantial and the genuine honestly looks like the knockoff in that instance. The only major give away is the color of the plastic being a more yellowish instead of orange hue, but only a trained eye would notice this. I know the cases I'm comparing are different, but the aluminum of the genuine makes a satisfying "ringing" sound when your fingers or hand slide over it which of course happens fairly frequently; the knockoff is missing this, but I cannot guarantee that the genuine black ops would even have this quality. And I'm not 100% sure what that even means, is it higher quality aluminum or the finish being matte/ glossy that affects this?

Anyway, again I am very impressed, and pretty shocked, the cases are identical, the torque keychain, the certificate of authenticity, and even the fonts on the boxes (and yes they both say "made in USA"). The only differences you will find are those listed above, and as I am comparing two slightly diff cases, I can't even guarantee the genuine would be any different.
This turned out longer than I wanted but I hope it helps some individual out there make up their mind.

I can post pics if anyone wants to see anything, just let me know. Have a good night.

If you dont mind, could you post some pics? The link you posted is even cheaper than the ones i have been looking at, so would be amazing if the quality is as good as you say!

cheers

I just ordered the exact same color combination from Jacky Nie on Aliexpress but its for a black iphone just like in the pics. I paid via PayPal and he said it would be in the mail tomorrow.

I know this thread is on the Vapor Pro but has anyone ordered the GildDesign MSZQMJ knockoff? The same factory that makes all the Vapor Pros on Aliexpress makes this too. I'm wondering if anyone has tried these cases, real or fake. I wanted to order one to give it a try but Jacky Nie doesn't sell them and I couldn't find any sellers of this case on Aliexpress willing to accept PayPal. I've googled the Aliexpress escrow service and the reviews on it weren't good so I prefer not to use it. The issues were about their dispute resolution services being non-existent.

I ordered on Oct 20 and it also shipped yesterday. Do you think these all come from the same batch? Btw I ordered the white vapor pro and was one of the first groups to receive the original vapors (the original design without all the cutouts). I still use this case and never had any issues.

some owners said that these scratches very easily...

Is that true? Have you noticed any scratches on the color side vs. the silver side?

Update: ordered mine on 10/21 and it just shipped from XunJinDa Electronics Technology Co., Ltd. Received a shipping notice and tracking from the free shipping option.

Received my Vapor Pro white yesterday 10/22 ordered on 10/10. Overall very pleased with the case. I have never seen or felt a real Vapor Pro, but judging from photos, it is impossible to tell that this is fake. The item arrived in perfect condition and with all the implements that the real case comes with - box, soft case, screwdriver+screws, white backing, authenticity card. There are soft black inserts inside the aluminum frame which cushions the antenna. Fitment is perfect. Feels amazing in hand, nice and grippy. Full wifi signal, phone signal normal (I usually have 2-3 bars at home), phone calls sound the same, Bluetooth Jawbone Era sounds great as normal. TONS of compliments.

I ordered some other colors today. $26.32, free shipping. Aliexpress prompts you to verify delivery, to prevent fraud - a nice touch. To have 5-6 cases for the price of one real one - can't beat that.

5/5 stars.

I wrote that it arrived in perfect condition. So, no scratches. I do expect this case to be scratched up in the future, but I will feel a lot less upset about it. Contrast this to paying $150+ for an authentic case which is painted aluminum as well.

Nothing like buying bootleg items. Nothing like stealing. The best part would be for your phones to get stolen with the bootleg cases on them.

 

[Chrispy650]

I ordered a case from Jacky too. These fakes that everyone has been receiving look too good to pass up for the price. I am sure I wouldn't be able to tell a difference and even if it does scratch up I don't mind buying another one in a different color at least I know I will be paying way less than if I bought an authentic one in the beginning. I have a feeling Jacky is going to be getting much more business soon

looks good!

question, is there an imprinted 'E' on the plastic insert? (i cant tell from the pics) The red and silver one i purchased (not from the same seller) has this, just trying to figure out consistency between sellers.

Ask yourself something...

What's worse? A company that can make an aluminum case for dirt cheap, but charge their customers $150 or a Chinese bootleg with seemingly the same materials for a fraction of that cost plus with much better customer service?

No ask yourself, who's doing the real stealing in this scenario?

Your argument is completely understandable for a topic such as music pirating. Which is why I buy the albums to support my favorite musicians.

Sorry, $150 for an iPhone case is ridiculous. I can get a real carbon fiber case for cheaper than that which is a much more expensive material and much harder to work with than aluminum. I can get a custom wood back plate that was handcrafted for cheaper.

Basically put, thank you and don't come again.





By the way, I hate that no one stocks the white vapor pro anymore. It's curious that Element themselves are sold out of that color as well. I'm about to get the vapor 4 in white. Anyone have experience with this model? It's completely aluminum so I'm scared it will degrade my signal even though I have the 4S.

No, and there isn't an "E" on the authentic case either.

This case is so, so slick.

 

[MayBee]

sorry, I missed that...

I just emailed your seller to see if he'll be getting more stock in the near future. I don't mind waiting since I'm expecting a silver/silver in transit right now.

ok thanks, it definitely looks as good as the real thing....

im looking forward to receiving my white one to compare! i think it is exactly the same as yours.

 

[MayBee]

Personally, I would go for the pro...even though the 4S improve the signal antenna, but that was based on how we hold the phone...however, a complete aluminum may have some negative stress to the signal as well (might not be a lot ... but might be some).

Also, I prefer the clear plastic part...make it slick looking...awesome contrast to the overall case.

just my opinion.

I know, I want the pro model in white badly. Nobody has them anymore though. They all tell me that only the 4 comes in white

be patience...I'm sure they are making them now.. It's just selling like hot cakes

If it sells..then you know they'll be pumping them out....it takes time...remember...this fairly a new line

What I want to kno is how does this case hold up if you do drop the phone. I have a life proof case and a DNA case. Im keeping the life proof since I might need it if I go on some hike or something idk but the dna case I can return if I choose on of these awesome things.

Actually,Im going to see if how much i can get it with my friends best buy discount. I got the life proof case 50% off so lets see how much an authentic will cost me.

I messaged him. Hopefully he does. Anyone buy from this guy? Thus far, I've only been clicking links provided by people in this thread since you guys confirmed the quality.

I'm starting to think they all come from same place.

the fit is extremely secure. There is no way the phone would break if you dropped it with one of these cases on.

Think of it as a stronger Apple bumper, but a tiny gap between the aluminium and the actual phone. The foam protection on the inside of the aluminium is definitely enough to prevent any damage.

i messaged him earlier requesting some pictures of the orange and silver ones.

this guy is selling them for $20, so if the pictures come back and look like the ones selling for more then this could be the seller to go to.

I'm sure that the paint will chip off and the case will likely be dented a little - but these are considerations for the authentic case as well. As for protecting the phone, there is a significant 1-1.5mm lip on front and back which prevent the phone from contacting flat surfaces. The inside is cushioned with a soft black TPU-like material. There is no way this case will fall apart on impact. 4 screws and aluminum.

Hard to tell from my photos, but I have protective film on front and back. I recommend this, as the front and back are open as you can see. Ordered in 10X bulk from Ebay for $4.99. When it gets scratched, I'll just slap on a new one.

I am female, so the phone remains inside a purse's cell phone pocket for the most part. I'd imagine pocket storage would increase chances of chipping and scratching the case and phone. Hence included black padded case.
