Hey guys this is my first time here since I'm getting my first iphone this week. :D

A local seller to me is selling these replica Vapor Pros and He's charging $40 for the white ones cause he says they sell out really fast and $35 for the blacks. Do you guys think it's worth it to buy from him or should i just buy from one of these sites directly from china ?

The last thing i ordered from china took like a month to arrive and from reading this thread it looks like it might take that long again.

Last question, do these come with a front and rear screen protector ? I'm not a big fan of the back plate/sticker and i find the back of the iphone with a screen protector much more aesthetically pleasing.
 
I ordered a case as well from Jacky lin and it was ordered on the the 5th I believe but it was shipped the 7th with a tracking amber but still no information available, can anybody tell me how long theirs took to be actually delivered to their house? How many days?

I did this. I paid a local dealer $40 for my case. I was able to see the cases he had and chose my favorite. My first choice was actually a different case. It looked perfect and he let me try it on the phone. It was way too loose and had a stripped screw. I chose a different color to get the perfect fit. TO me it was well worth the extra $15 to make sure I had a good case and not have to wait. I say go for it for sure as long as you can try the cases.
 
ordered 1/23. shipped 2/10.

trackable on HK Post's website and USPS 2/14.

About to file a CC charge back.

If you used the escrow account, you shouldn't have to file a charge back. Just don't release the funds. That is the whole purpose of using the escrow.
 
I ordered the Blade which was delivered last week. Since I've had it on my phone I've been dropping calls in locations that I normally had good connections and in areas where the signal as weak I lose all connection to cell, 3G and can't even establish a connection edge. Bummer but atleast it was only 15 bucks :p

If you read the forums, you were warned about that signal loss of that case. :/ sorry man. I was gonna buy it too, but after reading bad reviews, decided not to. Got the vapor pro, and been happy with it ever since
 
Hi guys, I've ordered the black ops from jacky Lin as well and it showed shipped on 7 February but till now, the tracking code doesn't come up on hongkong post nor singpost. Wrote to jacky a few days ago and it was mentioned that it might take 4 weeks for ETA.

Isn't the vapor pro all aluminum like the blade. Wonder why the reception is better?
 
I ordered about 3 days ago, and got confirmed shipment today. Ordered a black ops from Jacky Lin. Not bad.
 
Well it is for sure these people dont get in a hurry to get a dollar. I am starting to wonder how they out produce the US.

E13ctron S4 from AliExpress

Just received my E13ctron S4 from Jacky Nie and here are my impressions.

Jacky was extremely quick to respond to all my questions and does his best to help out in any way he can. The only option of shipping available to India was EMS for 22$ (!) and even though I would have bought it at that price, Jacky gave me the option of China Mail for 6$ only. After agreeing upon the new rate, the excited me :D purchased the case before he could change the shipping to the revised rate. He refunded the remaining amount to my paypal account right away.

The case was shipped in 2 days of placing the order and even though the tracking number did not work (still shows "No Information on Package"), I was surprised when I came home to find the package waiting for me. It took just 8 days for delivery and considering I paid 6 bucks for shipping, I'd say its amazing!

The case itself was packed perfectly. I got the black top and silver bottom. Comes with a total of 10 star screws and a nifty little screwdriver. Installing the case was a breeze and took all of 5 minutes. The case does add a little width to the phone, but feels really good in the hand (much better than the Apple bumper). Now there is a 'Pro' version of the E13ctron available that has the screws on the back but I find having the silver screws on the front gives it an industrial look when combined with the glass of the phone (again, this is just my opinion). Also the Pro version has a single cutout for both the volume and silent toggle which I find just ugly and lazy. No problems in pushing the volume buttons (i don't have any nails) but the Sleep/ Wake button is just a little more recessed than I would like.


Case reception interference (if any) were minimal and here are the results

open on table -75 to -89
open in hand -85 to -92

case on table -89
case in hand -89

It sometimes even goes up to -75 with the case. Had no issues with WiFi, GPS or 3G services.


The only two gripes I have with this case is a slight QC issue on the top right hand corner on the back (see pic) and the fact that the silver bezel of the phone is visible at the bottom. Otherwise I am really liking the look of the case and the overall quality.

All in all, highly recommended. You certainly get more than what you paid for :)

Hey guys, long time no talk. Been busy snowboarding :D

I have a Fake Vapor Comp on the way for review. I'll write one up in the next month. I will also include and update on my Vapor Pro that has been on my phone for the past 3 months. It's suffered quite a few drops.
 
Any feedbacks with Iris Hong products? Having a hard time contacting Jacky Lin. Emailed them thrice but still no response.
