You can't anodize white, it isn't possible. It appears to be powder coated but I can't guarantee that.

i find that the white vapor comp has the logo for selecting in caseswill now.You can select the pink logo or without logo, but the price is different.The idea is very good. As to me, i like the pink logo, it looks pretty and lovely with it.
Ordered the case here: http://www.aliexpress.com/snapshot/104967590.html took little over 3 weeks to get to me in New York.
For the price I'm very happy with the case. It's not "perfect", the "joints" where the two parts connect could be smother. There were several small scratches/marks on the case when it arrived. The shock absorption pads had to be realigned. Still much better than anything I can get in the US for anywhere close to what I've paid.

i didn't notice any drops in reception. I dont really go out much so i can't really say. i have the iphone4s which has a better antenna so maybe thats why? *shrugs* i know the iphone4 people had horrible reception with it though.
That wasnt there , when i was ordering .... There was only blue or white ... this is not fair to buyer ... Now i have to wait what i will get ... :/
I ordered a Silver and Blue VP Spectra case from CaseWill last Wednesday. I opted for the DHL Shipment as I was a bit leery of some of the reports of people's shipments being "lost." Well, my case arrived early this morning which would put the turnaround time from China to Minnesota at 4 business days if you included that Wed I ordered and today. Very happy with that service, even if at $24 it cost more than the case itself.
However, even then for the total price I paid for this case I still feel I received a very good case. Especially considering it's a fake one. My order came in the Element box, with the Element zip up pouch, back screen piece, and all the tools necessary. Below I've included a couple of pictures with the case on my phone.
Overall, I'd absolutely recommend getting this case if anyone is on the fence about whether or not they want to pull the trigger. I'm likely going to purchase another one, in a different color, for my mother.

yes i have the pink logo when i buy i not have the option to select the logo or not the fit's it's amazing it fits better than my original silver comp i really like it i recommended if anyone looking to get one buy it looks amazing and for the price it's really good it's took to arrives to my Country Puerto Rico 2 weeks
Can you give please detailed photo how it looks with that Pink logo ? That seller is not honorary if he put that there after when i have already bought that ... and which back did you get ? white or black or nothing ?
You can see pictures of the case with the pink logo here: http://imgur.com/a/M0EYx#oUvMM
I got the black backplate. They did offer to ship me a white one though.
from caseswill.com for those asking... the white is painted on, and so far over 2 weeks in, no chipping.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.

I was thinking of picking up one of these fake vapor pros, I was wondering what the best sellers were on the aliexpress site. Some of the previous links in this thread no longer work.

Well based on your review and the price. I ordered one. But in Black. I have a Karas Customs Case that is an aluminum case but not really a bumper style like the Vapor. It unfortunately takes 1-2 bars signal depending on location. So for $22 I figured it was worth a try to see if the composite insert on the Vapor Pro style cases helps this issue?
Received the Black Ops from Jacky Lin today.
The finishing is magnificent considering that it's not original. No rough edges at all around the portions where the case comes together. The matte satin texture is very good. There's a bit of a gradation on the top right curve near the power button but it doesn't bother me. With the phone in the case, just seeing very little of the phone's bezel all around the gaps. This is normal (I know because I have the original Vapor Comp Stealth). The weight, texture, feel around the joints and openings are very good. It also looks as good as the original unless you compare the colour of the RF insert (the original is closer to orange while this one is further away from it). No difference in signal strength as compared to when I had my Vapor Comp Stealth on.
Overall, I'm happy with the 25usd spent on this even though it took a month to reach me. I'm not a big fan of the Black Ops but I ordered this because I was curious with its quality and also wanted to see if the Vapor Pro design kills signal strength. Since it doesn't, I would most probably go for the original Vapor Pro Stealth next.

Just make sure you do NOT order from Ada Li. I had an order go to the wrong address (their fault) and no one cares. They dont even respond Now my friend ordered, and he too has not received his order. In his case, he did not even get a tracking number, its been over 6 weeks now since his order date.
And do not expect AliExpress to help you. I filed a complaint and claim over a month ago, have yet to hear back from them. Just be careful, use a credit card, so that you can do a chargeback on the SCAMSTERs

I might be wrong but I heard the original Vapor Pro bumper does kill the signal strength whereas the bootleg ones do not. Not completely, but still noticeable. You might want to look into that.
