Attached thumbnail(s)

i bought both blade and vapor (pink/black). will compare when the both comes. but i prefer the blade for pure aesthetic reasons and the single color option compare to vapor dual color options and accessory hole. will give the vapor to my gf.

both designs are different compare to blade vs vapor. and so is the installation i guess. but i got a good feeling on blade, those guys are experts machinist they do customs fishing??? components and prolly did this for test market or by the way type thingy for fun and u won't see blade as common as vapor ;p Koreans uses WCDMA2100 mostly and iphone has taken the country by storm and sometimes blame for the 20% slowdown in network traffic.

i have no issues with either philips or torx or hex, but i do prefer philips + or hex. than torx, torx tools are hard to come by. compare to + or hex. And yes there is 3 huge pictures of the back of the blade. and i dun see the + screws on them. they are prolly hidden or recessed, but u can see them screws on the video.

for sure everything looks different when u actually install it but the best thing is, it won't be so common as vapor .

the sgp carbon back is made for this case. it looks so bad ass. the screws and the angular cnc cut edges make it look so cyber, so porche macam my bell & ross watch.

have not drop it yet so dunno its tuff or not but from first impression its a tank. the 1 piece bumper that wraps all around is CNCed from a billet 6065 T6 aluminium so definitely stronger than the 2 piece aluminum bumper.

when i chug the ip4 in it seems to be suspended inside the case or sort off and theres a empty space all around it creating like a crumple zone. and when i place the back piece, it slides in perfectly and looks like part of the case, no visible gaps, etc.. it looks watertight even. screw it in tight and it flush nicely even with the SGP back. even tho got a bit of fitting issues with the backplate and the SGP. but a bit of brute force manage to squeeze the SGP back into submission and no visible gap. u need to see it for yerself. the backplate even look flimsy is really stiff and doesn't bend or conform to the SGP back when brute force it.

reception is good. they give a few pieces of foam for u to place around the empty crumple zone so i place it near the antena and place i think the phone might hit the ground.

theres a lot of machining on this bumper i mean a LOT. its complex, the damn korean outdone themselves. every single holes, angles. the docking area the speakers, the earpiece, accessory hole was all machined, recessed, etc..etc i said it is a TANK.

24g is light but i can feel the weight compare to my SGP Neo EX. and its polish smooth, nice to look at but its can get slippery! just give it a good grip coz sweatyhands it can slip even tho with al those CNC angles. i dunno if thats an issue with Vapor4, i compare when i get it. compare to the SGP Neo EX which has that extra protruding silicon that provides some grip. Price is reasonable USD$69 and shipping included. i waited 11 days for this, communication is a bit cacat coz that farker dunno how to speak english proper.

now junfac got 3 on stock. with 2 new colors silver/red and silver/blue. so get it b4 its gone ;p and i myself is gassing for the Ti color ones.

usd$69 + free shipping

yeah i got it from the same guy, i got mine shipped to singapore. i heard a forumer say blade got a dealer here. so u might want to pm him for details on how to get it locally.

http://forum.lowyat.net/user/S4a, has the info and posted there is a local dealer for blade.

aiyah i ask u to pm him and ask lah..

anyway got my vapor4 black/pink that i bought for my gf. i like blade better ;p. vapor4 is nice and sleek perfect for my gf, but i like the blade angular over CNCed look with crumple zone, and all round over engineered, over the top CNCed. it just look so manly. lol

they got some nice limited edition metallic covers

mine i did some "rough test" the black part suppose to be anodized scratch off revealing a silverish under.

a user from another forum got a black/red blade.

i got no issues with signal strength but yeah... i think i might have issues with GPS. papago never seems to lock on proper, but google maps is fast and no issues tho. will investigate more.

neve use it extensively tho. will give it a spin. i am tethering right now on 3G so far so good.

i have no issues with the loose button, mine was perfect. no rattling or whatever.

and that back brush alluminium backplate.. omfg! i want!
