Vapor Knockoff (Pics)

so i got my knockoff from the same seller as OP. I would say great deal for the money but there is just a little play with the phone inside the case - not sure if this is how it is with the real vapors. it's not annoying though. so far i haven't noticed any problems with GPS. really not sure about signal strength - could it be that the aluminum/zinc blends don't have the issues of CNCd bumpers?

Did you install the foam pads?
 
On the ebay listing from OP, anyone know what the "SJ / SJC / SJL / SC" things mean?

New Aluminum&Zinc Element Case Bumper for i phone 4G SC
 
A question for those who have purchased such a case: what third party dock connectors are compatible with this case?

in my area, the quality of knockoff vapor sell here is actually quite good.

Ebay.

http://cgi.ebay.com/Aluminum-Zinc-Alloy-Element-Bumper-Frame-Case-iPhone-4G-/280612500357?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item4155cef385#ht_2450wt_905

Now I'm wishing I saw this one first. It's cnc machined and anodized for only $10 more than I paid for the "texture x6"

Like the ebay link, you can see that there's an extra "hole" near the sim card slot which differ from the "better" vapor 4 knock offs.

In the pics they really do look anodized.
Possibly with the language barrier they were unsure of exactly what you meant?

From the item page;

Weighing a feathery 25 grams, the Vapor is a single block of aluminum that is CNC machined, then anodized in a variety of colors. Lastly, the interior shell is “lined with a very high tech shock absorbing material that reduces the G-forces of an impact” and is a “non-conductive barrier to help maintain the iPhone’s antenna signal strength.” A case that looks fabulous and provides a performance boost for your iPhone 4.

I ask the seller if it's anozidzed nd they said no. But when I talk to them in Chinese it is indeed Cnc + anozidzed and also include the back cf sticker. Took a chance and order a graphite/graphite from them. Now I just have to wait out te 2-4 week shipping time...
