Mine are sitting 2 hours away as of today. Maybe Tuesday I hope, guess I need to sign for them.

Yeah, mine left Connecticut yesterday... Not two hours away from me yet, but it had all day yesterday and all day today to travel. Tomorrow is not out of the question.

Mine says it departed KC Ks today, so maybe just maybe tomorrow

It arrived today, but I am at work. My wife took pics for me. I know I am lame, but it's been a month. Will post more pics once I get it on my phone. Wife said all the edges are smooth as a baby's butt... From Caseswill.com

I've been going back and forth between ordering a fake Element Case from Casewill. Too bad about the length of shipping that is seemingly the norm... (what is the approx shipping cost to the US anyway?)

Was just wondering what many of you prefer; the Vapor Comp or the Vapor Pro Spectra?

caseswill.com charged me $21.98 or something for the case. I got a 5% discount because I ordered during their New Year holiday. The actual shipping time was exactly 1 week from their door to mine. There was no additional charge for shipping, although they do provide express options for I believe DHL and another carrier for $15.
 
Crap!

Two concerns I see right away on my pics is that there is no tactile lock button integrated into the case, and I see no inserts on the inside of the case for keeping it away from the antenna...

Oh well. Like I said when I bought it, I didn't expect it to be perfect. We'll see if maybe something was included in the box that my wife didn't photograph... :mad:

I circled what I believe to be a lock button in the plastic packaging. Perhaps that's something you have to place on when assembling the case but that's just me guessing as I've personally never physically seen one of these.

Your second concern would be mine as well. I'd be especially worried about marking up the bezel as I don't see any foam-like material to buffer between the case and bezel. I'll be interested in reading your thoughts later on this subject.

good call. I saw that, but thought it was part of the keychain. I think youre right.

I have lucky labs spectra wrap on my band, so I am not super concerned about the foam points missing. Maybe they are included somewhere too and I have to do it myself.

Thanks for spotting that.
 
Here's mine from Jacky Lin, this has the padding on the inside. The quality is pretty good.

Recieved my two cases today, I had to run to the post office to get them. I ordered on 02-07-2011 from:
http://www.aliexpress.com/product-f...Bumper-Case-for-iphone-4-for-wholesalers.html
I am happy with the fit and color, since they were suppose to be the Vapor Pro Chroma, they are due and have a slight texture to them. The fit is fine and had the rubber inserts installed along with the sleep button. The two extra screws do not fit the little screw driver. The case fits better then the real deal I returned for replacement, which they still haven't shipped out. I can live with this for 22.00. I will try to take some good pics of the other case and post.

OK so it's not perfect, but for $21 I got probably a little more than I expected... The paint is good - a little orange peely, but shines and does not have any defect. The joints do come together nicely, but is is a tight fit. The phone is very very snug.

The black "aeronautical RF signal blockers" or whatever the heck they call them were included in this package - I had to place them myself. The button also had to be placed. The backplate (which I did not use) is felt, not plastic polycarbonate. I have a phantomskins matte back on with a blue apple that I didn't want to get rid of anyway.

It DOES fit in my logitech speaker dock. Barely. It is very loose but needs to be gently placed and left alone or it will not stay connected. It sits crooked on the dock.

Pics.

From the pictures it looks very nice Billy. Thanks for sharing.

So the black inserts where included? Do they just "float" in there or did they have an adhesive-type of backing?

Either way, for the price, I'll likely give it a try. Thinking of going with the black and blue Spectra from my black 4s. Very please with my matte black E13ctron right now but it's hard not to want to test out other options...

Yep - it's foam with a 3M type adhesive on it. I'm telling you I am pretty pleased, saving $125...
 
thats a clean set up billy.

my tracking number for my order from casesinthebox finally updated today and its in Los Angeles, CA. Guess I'm in the same boat as bill was 3 days ago. Puts me a little over 2 weeks from date shipped (2/6).

Jacky Lin's tracking number still has no updates for HK post or USPS.
 
i found that the white color was sold out on casesinthebox.com and Caseswill.com,
So i ordered the Vapor COMP Epiphany with the white color, as it has three postive reviews.
http://www.casesinthebox.com/vapor-...s_p5177:f7d2a36060f37e7ea0c0300460ea80e6.html

Hope i can get it soon, and come back to give a review to you , thanks.


i received the White Vapor COMP Epiphany from casesinthebox.com today, i am very pleased with it ! it looks perfect with good quality, and they came with their full kits, the same as shown in the pictures.
 
Sorry don't have a dock but my GF's ephipany (spelling?) came in as well today from caseswill. Looks good but I can already seem some parts chipping :( I told her to use the case/pouch so it minimizes the chance of it scratching in her purse.

As much as I wanted the white vapor comp I think I'm glad I went with the silver. I don't think the painted one will hold up well. Mine's been in NY since the 19th.

Epiphany case looks decent but the felt color looks off, more like a baby blue than tiffany. Is that just the picture?
