Are you using genuine Element Case? I'm currently using Vapor Pro (White & Stealth) and Vapor COMP (Red & Blue).
All four cases paired with either the Stealth or White Carbon Fibre Backplate. None has any problems with reception, GPS signals or Wifi...
Been using them with iP4 and currently my 4S... smile.gif

Bought ori from element case...close to RM500..  smile.gif

Stay away from OEM Deff Cleave if you use your phone as a GPS device. Screws up your GPS signal. Its got no issues with your phone line, 3G or Wifi though. Source: Own experience  nod.gif

You may consider an OEM Vapor Pro though. Apart from the Ori one I'm using now I also own an OEM Vapor Pro which was used on my old iPhone 4 last time. Totally no issues whatsoever
Totally agree with this statement. Bought fake Deff Cleave and got Wifi problem, now using original Draco IV Limited Edition White and no problem whatsoever.
Never tried fake Vapor Pro before but fake Vapor COMP never give my Wife problems since 2 weeks ago.

Few of my friends used the Reventon Yellow EX2 Hybrid. All complained that after 4-5 months usage, the case will develop a dark stain that can't be removed. If you still want to get it, choose dark colors and not the lighter ones... smile.gif

For your info, I don't think that your Whitey iPhone turning yellow. It's just that the iPhone 4 White is more of an off white than true white. Even me using the White 4S with the Vapor Pro White can see the difference like heaven and earth... laugh.gif

I have the genuine Blue and Red COMP, also have the fake Red and Pink COMP. I can tell you in confidence that design wise they're 99.9% similar. Just that the aluminum the fake used are lighter and the paint finishing is better in the original. Deeper red and deeper blue paint were used compared to the fake one. The plastic part used are sturdier in the original.
I'm using the original because although I don't baby my phone, I don't bump it around too so spending about RM400 is ok with me. The fake one I let my Wife use as she's not particular in taking care of her iPhone 4. Surprisingly, no scratches or dents after normal 'cincai' usage so I can say that both variation are durable enough for day to day use... thumbup.gif

Another way is to send it to Sg if you have a friend there. The custom there are pretty relax on tax. I've order so many times, sometimes exceeding SGD$500 at one go and never kena tax so far.
That's what my friend told me too, but such troublesome as his Singaporean friend has to help us ship it to Sabah or Sarawak. More shipping cost and another week wasted... smile.gif
USPS Express Shipping's the best! Will only take about 5 working days to arrive to my place... thumbup.gif

yeah, get the fake carbon fibre. the original material turn out to degrade the signal strenght anyway.
i think you can get it from some random phone accessory store, maybe try garage sale.
This is untrue. I'm using genuine carbon fibre backplates by Element Case and also Lucky Labs (used four different types).
Never had any reception, GPS or Wifi problems with my previous 4 and currently 4S. None of my friends have this problem too... smile.gif

Fitted using our Xtreme Screen Protector Crystal.
The dark red PC part looks good.

The rubber part is too rubbery. I think in a month or two it will wear off then it's gonna be really shitty.
Anybody have any comment on long term use of original comp?

I can confirm that the rubber will become flaky after a couple of months of usage. It reacted quite badly with palm sweats... sad.gif

How to determine if deff cleave alluminium bumper for 4S ori or not?
Where can i buy it?
Tempting.. Help me guys..

For starters, they're called Draco IV and not Deff Cleave. Deff Cleave brand is only sold for Japan domestic market.
The Draco IV comes with authenticity hologram and serial number. Cheapest after USD conversion and shipping should cost you about RM300.. smile.gif

hi guys, wana ask somthing

Is the Back plate from Elements casing made out of metal or just a sticker?

I'm looking for a good backplate to use with a bumper.
*
Genuine Element Case Backplate consists of Ultrasuede material, Polycarbonate or real Carbon Fibre. It just depends on which case you're buying.
My two normal COMPs came with Ultrasuede backplates. My Whiteout Vapor Pro came with both white polycarbonate and Limited Edition White Carbon Fibre backplate. My friend has both the Vapor Pro Stealth and COMP Stealth and they both came with matte Carbon Fibre backplates.
Hope my explanation is clear and will avoid any confusion on what the original Element Case offers... smile.gif

I have just got my Vapor Pro authentic case. One potential problem I spot will be the sharp edge at the inner rim that will be contacting with the iPhone aluminum bezel. I doubt why this sharp edge is not filed to be smooth edge as it might be contacting with the iPhone bezel after installation. It might potentially scratch the iPhone bezel. Anyone feels the same? Try to touch and feel the inner rim of the case and you will know what am I saying.
Mine doesn't have this problem. Vapor Pro Stealth, Chroma and White Edition... smile.gif

I went to machines today.
I found draco alluminium bumper exactly like deff cleave.
The price is around rm300 compare to seller from mudah.my or lelong.com or ebay who sell for just around rm80.
But those seller sell deff cleave, machines sell draco.
Is it different or the same?
Is it imitation and original?
Can someone clear this thing up for me.
*
Deff Cleave is fake and Draco IV is genuine. Deff Cleave is only sold for Japan domestic market and not outside Japan.
Also, the design is only 70% similar and the fake uses lower grade aluminum. Finishing is also quite cheap on the fake.
If you have the cash, just get the original... smile.gif
