is vapor that nice? =/
in fact if you do a search online, you will find nicer aluminum bumpers than Elementcase.
Currently im using Patchworks Alloy x wood, slimmest & lightest in the world.

True there are many nice aluminium bumper brands out there with some sleeker and better quality but the key word here is functionality. While they may be nicer to look at or feels more robust than an elementcase, you can hardly find any that doesn't need you to use any adapters and such while using say third party docks or headphones. Not to mention how most aluminium cases kill either your 3G, GPS or Wifi signal or in some cases totally kill off all kinds of signals. The cut outs for elementcase cases are dare I say close to perfect and compatible with most third party docks and headphones. I won't say all but most. Signals are totally fine when using this case as well. Elementcase cases is as close as you can get to a perfect all rounder aluminium case and so far not one other aluminium case even comes close. (I'd be happy if you can name me one that is as good in terms of functionality, more choices for consumers is always better eh) In short it is either one or the other when it comes to other aluminium cases but with the vapor pro or vapor comps, its as close to perfect as you will ever get when you talk about aluminium bumpers.
Sean sells both original and replicase IIRC.
Hi, as of my previous post, the patchworks Alloy X wood.
no problem with all the above functionality you mentioned. I can even dock with the case on. downside? lay on table design is minimal.
Signal degradation happens to all cases, even plastic ones. its just more obvious with aluminum bumpers.

field testings has shown a drop of only 5 - 10dbm while using full aluminum cases.(e13ctron S4, vapor comp/ pro, patchworks / nav jack alloy). That is not enough to make your iPhone useless if you live work or play within coverage area.

no case is perfect by the way.
@sean: selling both genuine & replicas at the same time needs a very high integrity. newbies like me will can't help but to suspect your products' authenticity.
