Play is not due to the fake case. It's due to the rubber lining inside the case.
I had an original frost red Vapor4 and recently vapor comp stealth red.
Both also had play inside..
My replicas never had any play at all.

I dont know brah, but I just read feedback from macrumors user, in thread title Fake Vapor Pro Reviews, haha.
Almost all of them have loose fitment. Maybe yours High Grade++ Super quality fake maybe.
They getting the stuff from aliexpress, seller name Jacky Lyn or whatever name is.

You always get bad luck from Element Case..

If I stick the carbon sticker at the back of my iphone..Do I need to peel my sp at the back ?
2.Would it leave any residue on to the back of my phone /?
*
From my experience, I dont have any residue on the phone when I removed it. I have using the SGP one for months.. Thing gets shrink, hence I removed it LOL.

The inner rubber lining does not fully cushion the "drain". The edge of the drain is not smooth at all. In fact it's sharp. smile.gif Element should file the edge of drain before sending for colour treatment.
*
I dont have those sharp edge said above either..maybe my finger not really ocd to those sharp in your definition. I have checked mine and all area/edge is fine.

I think if you are uncomfortable with the case, should just not using it i guess.


So far im fully satisfied with the case, in fact second case that i will use it for long time (until iphone 5 release perhaps?) after my pinlo slice worn out.


On the side note, i still keep my eyes on mindplar i+case.. Unfortunately the developer still failling to overcome the signal issue.. Lots of bad/anger feedback at kickstart.. But yeah when start investing something new, should ready to accept the outcome either success or failure.

Beautiful case but kinda dead..

Thing about vapors is , will they do the jobs of protecting the phone from shattered glass?

Looks like the rubber inserts are not that impact-absorbent, but maybe that is just the fake ones? hmm.gif

Those who own the real McCoy, do give your reviews? Tq!
*
Its depend on where the impact is. Chances to have crack the glass if it drop flat/horizontal drop, tho, there a lip/lay on table function perhaps protect the glass from touching the ground.

imho, dont go with vapor if you want to have complete protection. Go for lifeproof kind case if you kind of always slip/drop your phone.

For minor bump, vapor still able to protect it.

I own my fair share of original vapors and replica vApors. The misconception is "if I pay more for original I get better things".. Although it is true for other items like electronics etc... The replica vapors are exactly like the originals...

So... Whatever pros and cons these originals have... You will get the same thing in the replicas....

Paying 500 for a case don mean jack
*
I've bought the fake case before, end up poor quality.. Use for 1 month, then take out; unlike the genuine case which im fully utilize, use until the case show its worn out which is almost 1 year (pinlo slice 3) before switching to vapor spectra.

As for fake vapor, have no comment, since i dont have it and will not buying fake after the lesson learned above..lol

Agree that 500 bucks is huge, so just buy case which you satisfied most provided you have enough spending budget.

I have bought some cases through the USPS postal method a few times. No taxes or whatsoever. Is it due to the shipping method? Meaning those who chose FedEx/DHL service will get taxed? For example the Element case. Please clear my doubts. smile.gif
*
Element Case using Fedex for international shipping. Therefore its will be tax. Im not sure why but with Fedex, they will settle everything (includes custom clearance) until reach your doorstep.

I think we need new thread starter. Its over 2.5k post omg.

whats the different between TPU and Silicone? which 1 is better?
*
TPU: Smooth feel, usually hard plastic.
Silicone: Rubbery feel, usually easy to stretch.

Verdict: Silicone usually catch lint easily than TPU tho, it absorbs impact and bump much better than TPU case.

Exactly my point. Whether its Pasar Malam, replica, OEM or whatever, fake is fake lar...

During my 7 mths of using Iphone. it is a SGP Neo EX 2 and a Cygnett Ripple protecting my phone from minor drops here and there. Don't even get me started on fake screen protectors,  laugh.gif
*
Cool.
Mine almost hit 2 years for my phone. So far only 2 cases Im using. which are Pinlo Slice (crack when reach around 10 month) then change to Element Case Vapor Pro Spectra which Im still using until now.

I did bought the fake Power Support Air Jacket.. using on few days.. very bad quality.

anybody here using lifeproof ? . how much this cost at mac studio ? .. worth the money or waste of money ..
*
The protection is awesome, but the sensitivity of the screen decrease abit since the screen protector on Lifeproof case doesnt exactly on the screen.

You need to push on screen, instead you just touch the screen.
