it wouldn't hurt to email them at least tell them to take better pictures that don't make it look brown. lol

makes no sense as to why it would be black. Id email them anyway

Thank you for your inquiry with Element Case. I'm very sorry you are not completely satisfied with your new purchase.

The Vapor Comp Tactical line in Desert Camo comes with a Black power button and Black rubber liner. I'm very sorry if it looked brown on your computer.

We prepare the images of our products to be true to color for both print advertising and display online on systems with monitors calibrated for perfect color output. However, we are not able to control how they are displayed on the computers of customers browsing our website. Differences due to the (non) calibration of your monitor may manifest itself as a variation in color, contrast, brightness or more.

Let me know how you want to proceed.
 
That Sux. What are u going to do?

i replied them asking would it be possible to get a refund. but honestly, does it looks black or brown to you guys? or was it my screen calibration problem?

Well I calibrated my screen as per this guide mostly since I play with Photoshop and what not for vectors and what not...

That being said, I'm no professional... but. That sure as heck looks like a brown over a black.

Also, fwiw, the wake / sleep button also seems brown, not black...

Ultimately, it's your money (and you want it now! sorry, damn JG Wentworth :p) and if you aren't happy with the case just return it. You paid for something and had some expectations, if the product didn't meet those expectations then return it.

i calibrated my screen and looked at it on my iPhone 4s and it looks brown to me. its also weird cause the other three tactical cases all have different color lining to match the color theme.
 
Received the arctic for my unicorn today. Looks amazing. And light as hell too. Def a keeper
 
here comes my artic~ damn sexy.

Initial impressions...
Feels kinda powdery when you hold it in your hands.
I noticed the screws are different from the first release vapor comp.
overall fantastic looking case!!!
See for yourself and enjoy the poison! xD

I want to order one but I have just one question. Do these fit if you have wraps on the antenna band?
