@S4a.. nice personal review... wondering how much u get it?? i'm abit confused with the electrical tape thg. So SGP neo hybrid ex dont need this fix right?
Thanks! I got it for around RM5xx together with the Vapor Carbon Fibre Backplate + Shipping cost and Credit Card charges included. No, SGP Hybrid Neo EX is already using the silicone/rubber bumper. So, there's no need to do this fix. Unless you are using metal casing like the Vapor or Atomic Cases only. Cheers!

Here's my ELEMENT Case - Satin Nickel (Extreme Metal)

Review:
- Very nice finishing (smooth and feels comfortable holding the phone)
- Looked very Hi-Tech Robot looks.
- Make the phone slightly larger but looked better than naked. (It's the only case that will make the iP4 looked even better)
- Can't use any 3rd party USB cable but only the Original Apple USB Cable.
- Headphone Jack required sizes as per the original headphones. Will need extension adapter to use it if not using the original headsets.
- About the reception issue, it does decrease a lil' but after I did the fix to it with Vinyl Electrical Tape (as per attached picture), it's in fact, improved the signal than with a case or with my SGP Hybrid Neo EX bumper case on. Seriously. (I did a test with another iP4 side-by-side). Not only the signal strength but also the GPS receptions as well. Every Vapor Case owners should do this fix!!!
- Personally, I like holding the phone with the Vapor case compared to any other case. Gripping it is superb when playing games and taking pictures.
- The form and design is perfect. especially the mute and volume buttons area. It avoid getting the buttons and mute slider accidentally switched or pressed.
- Only issue with the Satin Nickel type is it's not suitable for those with sweaty palms. It's tarnish quite easily. The tarnish stain will appear in a day or two. But I liked it personally as it does create a used or rugged looks to it.
- For those who like it shinny and clean will need to clean it with Nickel Tarnish Removal every week or less to renew the looks.
- Overall, I'll not use any other cases to-date available unless there are even better design introduced.
- Pricey, but worth the money I spent. Seriously. (For those who change cases a lot, you already can afford this anytime).

Yes, it'll be a one time thingy as you've said it.
It's feather light weight. Very-very light in fact.
Slightly bulky, but you'll care less once installed.
It looked so beautiful and it gives you a better grip to the phone too.
I've attached the picture of the back... But, I'm very indecisive in either to stick with my existing SGP - Skin Guard (Black Leather) or the ELEMENT CASE - V4 Carbon (Carbon Fibre) backplate??? What do you guys think? Which one looked better?

Though I prefer leather myself, but the fitting doesn't seem as nice as the Carbon Fibre backplate.

Thanks guys! I quite like the SGP Skin Guard Black Leather Backplate. But it tends to shrink from the perfect fit when 1st applied. Now it shrinks almost 1mm smaller, and that's why it doesn't look that good anymore. I've emailed SGP direct to lodge a complaint about their product and insisted them to replace a new set. I'll go with V4 Carbon now. Thanks again!

For those of you who don't want to travel all the way to MacStudio at Low Yat Plaza to get SGP cases, you can get them in MacStudio at Bangsar Shopping Complex at 1st floor. I went there and got myself an iPod Touch case for my baby girl just now. They've got plenty of NEW stocks. Worth checking out. Cheers!
