Ha! Mines been there since the 18th. Did you order from Jacky Lin? Where are you located? I'm in Maryland, so I hope once it leaves NY it won't be long. Ordered on 2/4.
HOLY CRAP!
So I was outside having a smoke break (I'm at work) when I was posting just a moment ago, and guess what I came back to, neatly placed on my desk
I'll give a full review, and more pics, when I have time later today.
FYI - tracking still says it's in NY

iFiend your giving me hope that my cases may come in today tho I'm in San Diego but my cases have been in my since the 18th. I've been following this thread quietly. I did order on the 4th and it shipped on the 7th. Tracking info didn't work til the 14th.
Glad the wait for you is over. Hope everything turns out okay with the fit

I ordered from "UTrust Company" on there that someone posted a while back, I'm in NJ and mine came today as well. Tough to beat for the money. Now I just need to test the reception in my house.

Received mine fake VP today and wow what I great job they do over there.
I could never tell it was fake if I didn't know
The only thing is I ordered the black and gold and black and clear one..

Ordered one from Jacky Lin - eagerly awaiting. I got the black/black but I couldn't find one that was ALL black (e.g. black lock button as well). Does anyone sell a copy of the Vapor Pro Stealth?
Though I guess I could always trade buttons with someone who got a Black Ops and wants a silver lock button.

.First impressions
It's a very nice knock-off. The only thing I can tell that is wrong with the finishing is there is a very small scratch (like a mm, tops) on the back of the frame, around the beveled edge. Not too picky about that
One thing of note - my case came with the foam inserts applied, and with them, there is gaping that make it so I can see the aluminum bezel of my iPhone. I am going to play with it a bit. It's a shame because I think with no foam it would be a perfect fit, but I am too worried about the case messing up the bezel. I have a partial bezel wrap from an SGP ultrafine kit at home, so I think I'll see if that works. Otherwise it looks like I need to get me some lucky lab spectra wraps
More impressions, and pics, tonight or tomorrow morning

LOL, so basically she needs a case for the case
Why not use just the pouch and not that bulky fake vapor case?
Received my Black ops and red/blk Vapor Pro today. Vapor Pro is trashed. Plastic insert is loose, rubber padding in one corner is wayyy too big so the phone is crooked. Also the screws in the insert are stripped.
The Black Ops Edition is fantastic! Fits like a glove and looks great. Well worth the $21.99 I paid.
Will take a few pics of the BOE with the wife's iPhone later

Can someone who has a lot of experience with these knockoffs give me some sage advice about fitting these things properly? I am not sure if it is how I am doing it, or the case, or even the black foam inserts, but my pieces never line up correctly. It's either the metal/metal joint at the top, or the metal/plastic on the bottom, never both at the same time, that don't line up...

I am the same way... I have a green onions pouch.

I did receive on of my cases today deff cleave. The tracking information said that it arrived in NY on Friday AM. I ordered another case, black ops and that one I haven't been able to use the tracking information at usps or hong kong post. They were purchased the same time, hopefully it will arrive in the next day or so.
Updates
The fit on mine suuucks. But what can you expect from a knockoff (my expectations weren't high). I think I may need to do the sanding of the RF insert like some have mentioned.
Quick question for those with knockoffs - is the cutout for the volume and mute switch centered? I have an AT&T iPhone 4, and the top of the cutout is basically flush/right next to the mute switch. I've looked at pics throughout the thread and I don't see anything like this. Think it has to do with the RF insert being too long?
I was hoping to hit the jackpot with this one. Looks like I got a dud Sucks too, because I think foam bought from Jacky Lin, and from where I stand, it looks damn near perfect...
Edit: ton of front to back wiggle room. I am hoping that the RF sanding will help, otherwise, I can't see myself using this. I just went to wipe my screen off with a microfiber and almost pushed it right out of the case. Sucks

What color combo did you get?
Silver/silver with the clear insert. This color combo, along with Jacky Lin, seemed to have gotten a lot of positive reviews throughout the thread.
Just goes to show you that you never know what you're going to get in the land of kncokoffs
I really do like the case a lot, and having tried out this crappy knockoff, makes me want to buy the real thing. Probably will.

Where did you order the black/red vapor pro from?

I've been following this thread for a while, went with Black Ops from XJD.. Order placed on the 8th/Feb and shipped on the 13th/Feb..
No news and the tracking isn't working.. Messaged Jacky Lin earlier and was told that it might be lost so will send another out.. Top class service from response point of view, pity the waiting is a hit and miss.. I suppose it is out of their control from that aspect.. I hope it comes in two weeks time before I head off on holiday..
It kinda got me thinking, isn't it odd that item posted with tracking number could get lost??

I got my vapor case from this seller which is authorized Element Case retailer. I have purchased three cases from them, no problem at all. They are the only seller offers free return and exchange within 14 days.
I don't what to get some fake case. Just like you are getting the fake LV bag..

HEY ALL!
I went on a ledge and made two Vapor Pro Purchases from reputable sellers on Aliexpress.com
First being a White Vapor Pro from: $21.98
http://www.aliexpress.com/product-f...-4-Aluminium-Bumper-Case-for-wholesalers.html
shockingly, they had white in stock.
Second being a Dark Red Vapor Pro from: $21.05
http://www.aliexpress.com/product-f...-4-Aluminium-Bumper-Case-for-wholesalers.html
Comes with Carbon Fiber Case which is a PLUS +!
At the bottom of each page under Transaction History & Feedback you can see my name under buyers as "Tim H."
Bought it on the 11th and 12th, let's hope it comes soon so i can review it for you all, so that you'll have others to buy some aside from Jacky Lin who only sells Black Ops, Silver, and Black.
