Graft leverage case - I want I want I want... (Update: I got).

I think the Vapor Pro Elite Nickel Brown Edition looks better. Price is steeper but more reliable in terms of quality.

But you also have to use a screw driver to remove it, and there is that big plastic hump near the antenna. Completely different case, for different people. I've had both the graft and 3 different vapor pros, 1 legit. The case I still have on is my graft.

They seem to be. There was not a screen protector included with the one I got at the Apple store. So, if it is legit, then the SP is something the retailer is throwing in for ****** and giggles.

Thx. I contacted the seller asking if the back plate was included.

I didn't even realize that people were shipping them without the backplate.:confused:

Yeah, but they're harder to remove, cost an arm and a leg, some of the Vapors don't include a backplate (which is a complete ripoff at that price), and the real kicker: they tend to screw with your reception. And I believe it adds a tad more bulk and weight.

Mine is legit and didn't come with a screen shield.

So is mine, and it didn't include a screenshield either. Which is why I was wondering about the practices of the Amazon reseller.
 
Can someone please post pics of the glossy white version? I just bought a black one not too long ago but I might be interested in buying a white one and selling my black matted version.
 
Got my Graft today and I must say I'm a bit disappointed. The bottom part of the silver latch, by the "T" is not very flush. Also the on/off button is crooked and hard to push. Guess I expected better for $50

So I'm one of the original buyers of the concept case. I had both the white and black matte versions. The white discolored very quickly but it seems that was recently fixed.

The black matte did fine but the latch part broke off in about 3~4 months because I frequently removed it to attach earpieces or to charging stations.

It still is a pretty case and I might just use my old 50% coupon to get another white one.

Any new reviews out on the "fixed" versions?

Let them know and they'll send you out a new one.

I've had a couple issues with the case...but it's still my favorite.
 
Finally got the white one when it recently went back in stock.

Had the black one when it first came out and still use it. Well made cases and excellent support.

White on is holding up going in and out of a Seidio holster (can be rough on the sides).

This! I ordered both a black and gloss white case that arrived yesterday afternoon and I have the same exact issues with my black case. :(

The lever on the white one I ordered for my girlfriend though is nice and flush. The on/off button also works great on hers.

I'm also pretty disappointed at the fact I paid for Express shipping and that's not how it got shipped out. I have already sent an email to Graft about my concerns, so hopefully I could report back with some good news. Their customer service has been great so far, so I'm being hopeful.
 
I've bought 4 black Graft Leverage cases, and never had any issues with them. My only wish is that there are integrated buttons for the silent/volume buttons.

My rev 1 case fell apart so I got the rev 2 replaced under warranty. The on/off button isn't as "high" as in the rev 1 case, it's almost flush with the metal so a bit hard to push. On my rev 1 case, it's really responsive, and I can use any part of my finger to push it. Now, I have to use the tip of my finger and really need to push at the correct point...

Does everyone with the version 2 have the same problem with the on/off button?

My girlfriend's case is the new gloss white rev 2 case and it does not suffer from that on/off button issue. My black one does however.
