Most likely. It took them 2 months—and a lot of emails asking them why it was taking so long—to send me the pre-order email. It just recently got shipped on the 15th and hasn't even arrived yet.

My history with Element Case:

First registration on the 8th of July.

Made two more registrations on the 29th of August.

Finally received the pre-order email on the 3rd of Sept.

Placed order the same day.

No news on whether the order was processed and no replies from the countless emails I sent to them regarding my order.

On the 12th, they told me my package was shipped on the 9th of Sept.

On the 18th of Sept, I checked the status of my order to find out that it was actually shipped on the 15th—as stated on Element Case's website under 'Completed orders'.

It is now the 27th and I'm still waiting. No way to tracking the package, according to EC.

I can't even register now. The Vapor 007 & Vapor Nickel are just gorgeous...no way to pre-order though.

I'm thinking of buying one or two. But there are drawbacks.

Not bad, but the camera hole for the flash is too narrow, like the first few shipments of Grove iPhone 4 cases. The narrow opening affects the colours of the pictures when flash is used. Also, it doesn't have the metal bezel, but the choice of wood is excellent~!!!

Ordered my Grove though. Would only arrive in November...sigh...

I am not using any screen protector, dowan to loose the clarity of the retina display. come on la Its quite hard to scratch the screen la, it's strong

Yeah, well, some people tend to hate oil smudge (fingers and face are oily) and there is a possibility for people to just dump the phone in the handbags (my girlfriend does this) or tight jeans that may scratch the screen.

hey mate, when did you order your grove case? I ordered mine in mid-August, and I think it should be here by mid-November or later next month..

the waiting time is really crap for Grove.. but I hope it's worth the wait & the price..

p.s. did you get yours custom'ed as well?
*
No time to get it customized. No idea what to put. Actually, too many ideas to put, and don't know which suits the back cover best. Also Grove would need at least another 2 weeks as well for orders to arrive. I ordered just this morning.

Waiting time is crap but I do know Ken Tomita's design. He put incredible effort as an artisan on his own products. He should be doing the same for Grove as well. I bought the one with their Tree logo. Looks good - not too elaborate, and not too empty. Too bad they removed their emblem from the bottom piece to the sides. I'm so tempted to get the Sumi (blackwood) for my old 3G as well...

Man, I know Miri. My hometown. And I do know that there are lots of counterfeit products there. Most of them look genuine with proper packaging and stickers.

I did not order Glam Rocka or the Safara Series. I was just mulling over them. I ordered Grove instead.

Waterfield Slip Case with Vapor

It's a sexy phone that is being overprotected. Sure would be bulky in your pocket.

Just got my proof, for my custom case from Grove. I think it will be shipped in the next two weeks  rclxm9.gif  hopefully...

Here's the picture.. will post some more as well as a review when I get it..

Nice customization. I would have thought you would draw something more like Air Jordan or something similar (I know they have copyright law in place when you customize).



QUOTE(johnny doe @ Oct 3 2010, 12:33 PM)
119 USD$, including postage.. bit pricey, but the best looking case I had found..

and the waiting time does suck.. I ordered it 3 weeks before I got my phone.. (lead time for delivery is 6-10 weeks from payment)..
*
I sent an email earlier, right after I ordered. The girl, Leela, replied saying mine would be 4-6weeks. Your customization would be longer. Those without prints would take 3-4weeks.

Guys... Looking for a matte screen protector with the less reduction of the display screen quality...
Currently looking at SGP or PS.....
Which is better?

Get SGP because it has front and back. PS only front.

If it is not on the official webstore, it is not original lah. But who would know? A dock is a dock. You show off your iPhone or your dock?

looks good! biggrin.gif is the black 'lining' part rubber or plastic?
The black lining part is actually silver and metal.. Mine is silver, anyway.. Although you can opt for a black finish as well.. Silver stands out more (in my opinion, since the phone is black as well).. Black would work though, if you wanted it to appear as part of the phone..

Hope this helps.. I don't have a good camera at the moment.. and have to resort to the built in cam on my Macbook sad.gif

Damn...How long was yours? I'm still waiting for mine...
