For those who are buying the Vapor Cases from the internet, eBay or locally here...
Here's how to spot between the "Genuine" and "Imitation".
NOTE:The "Imitation" version I've got is one of the best and closest looking ELEMENT CASE - Vapor 4 case "Black/Silver".
With naked eyes, you won't be able to differentiates almost at all. From far, it looked just like the genuine version.
But taking a closer look, it does matters a lot. Especially the paint and screws. If you tighten it overly, it'll worn out the pattern in the screws and your iPhone 4 will stuck with the case forever till you force breaking the case to release your iPhone 4.
Also, pls beware that these imitation cases are already in the market worldwide and is coming to our shores soon or may I say, it's already here waiting to be placed on the shelves. You might be paying a Genuine version price or slightly cheaper getting the Imitation version cases without knowing it's an Imitation product you are purchasing and thinking that it's a good deal getting a Genuine version cheaper.
Lastly, it's made out of Aluminum/Zinc mixes. Not 100% aircraft Anodized Aluminum.
Buy with your brain and be Smart!

Reminds me of some body parts that will shrink when cold...
I think back cover replacements trump those vinyls anytime as there's no worrying about aligning the apple logo correctly (my friend's carbon sticker slanted so the apple logo doesn't look very nice). Also there's no worrying about the sticker coming off with use.
This is where my SGP SkinGuard ended up
