hey guys, i know this question may have been asked before,

but i want to know your opinions ,

Hows the vapor pro protection? Does it help at all in reducing impact if dropped? Dont want a cracked apple . haha.

How's the quality of the OEM ones going around in the garage sales?

And , do you guys recommend applying a screen protector ? Will the screen get scratched easily in my pocket?

Cool! Thanks for the reply, yeah, i dont plan on dropping my phone,but every once in a blue moon, some sort of thing is bound to happen, like how my cat kicked my HTC down, luckily no problem.. touchwood*

Are you guys using screen protectors ? I heard theres no need to, as iphone has a scratch-resistant screen .

am not a tiffany fan , so.. doesnt really suit guys like me ..

be a good gift for your gf though

I still see some OEM sellers , in fact, my friend told me to order one for him .

will post a review once i get it , maybe those who own the real thing can chip in after i post some photos

Cheers

Same here, if u have the OEM one, do PM me , or even better if u have pics of it

nice i+case, christmas theme!

Curious though, how much does it cost?

Some might be stock clearance , so u may have gotten the clearance price

49 sounds like bulk price when ordered, as from the net , its $12.99

No need to worry, i think china companies would pick a more expensive company to copy and manufacture as OEM ( fake ) , such as Element Case lol.

Though i saw quite a number of 'InCase' china copies

I got myself a fav/ve screen protector for my phone , Front & back included for RM 55 inclusive installation .

I think its a lil overpriced at first, but it was the only shop selling clear screen protectors , the rest were out of stock

was looking for capdase, but they were out of stock as well ..

so , i though i'd give this a go ,

Seems pretty good actually, it doesnt stick those grim and dirt after hours of gaming with sweaty fingers

i tried googling for it, no official web ,


but i'd recommend it to anyone here , so far so good. maybe its oleophobic, not quite sure, but it sure beats my old screen protector that costs 15 bucks

Bumper was used to fix reception issues with the iphone 4 previously

And also to show off the iPhone glass front/back

Of course it wont give u maximum protection, but at least its eye-candy

I've been using a "replica" vapor pro spectra for about a week,

So far i've seen no defects besides the inaccurate damper placing inside the bumper ( some parts can be seen , eg : the volume cut out , no biggie though , i just removed it and replaced it again

The words on the bumper seem to be laser engraved, but i'm not too sure.

Not sure if the replica uses the same aluminium as the real thing, but it's pretty soft metal, aluminium for sure, but very soft, i dropped it on floor purposely with phone intact about 15cm high to test the case out , it dented a little on the edge and a shiny metal can be seen underneath the dent

Another thing is the reception issue, ( my wifi signal range seems to have dropped. I get 3 bars normally, but with the case i get 2 , speed remains the same though


But other than that, the looks is superb! i'd recommend it to anyone with a tight budget but crave for a vapor ( like me )

No, my phone was not harmed in the process of testing, from what i observed on youtube, heights above 1m will shatter the screen if dropped,

hey guys, found this after some random reading.

http://www.iclarified.com/entry/index.php?enid=19273

Looks good! but i wonder if water will get stuck in the phone?

It looks like it prevents short circuitry.

but then water may end up stuck in the phone.. like the LCD

i'm just sharing what i read man ,

no way am i sending my phone to the states , and even if i wanted to, they don't do it.

just wondering if anyone done it , does it prevent water from going in through the headphone jacks / usb port?

it may even ruin the camera ....

Not sure if this question has been asked before.

is there any dock that fits the vapor pro without an extender?

Dock for syncing / charging.

Tq! been searching high and low, but confused with reviews saying "Some" Docks can..

Here's my Vapor Pro Spectra

Sorry for the lousy quality, taken in dim white light..

No , it's not the phone camera that sucks! It's the camera man!

yup! fake spectra

got it for a nearly a quarter of the real thing.

yup, more like powdered silver. i kinda like the feel, though i've yet to lay my hands on the real mccoy!

no play at all, so far only the durability is the weak point as the paint chips off easily when dropped on a surface .

But it is a small price to pay considering i got it cheap

still looks darn good on the phone!

i DID mention it previously , just that i forgot to mention it with the picture

I did a drop review some pages back , durability factor, i doubt its those aircraft grade aluminium.

Not everyone can afford a quarter price of an iphone for their case

that reminds me,

I saw Air Asia has that similar case



now everyone can buy!

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?

Those who own the real McCoy, do give your reviews? Tq!

http://www.elementcase.com/

Eye candy!

I sense a SOPA supporter !

Anyway, Of course people would like the Real thing if they could afford it. I understand that Element Case probably put tons of effort and time into developing the vapor cases, Started off with the Vapor 4, and with feedbacks from users, they evolved into the Pros and Comps..

Then again, Not many people can afford paying roughly half a thousand for a case,

But we have to Thank people like you who support the company! Else we'd have no more vapors

There are also people like me who cannot afford the real deal yet, so we settle for the cheaper alternative but similar looks ( gives us moderate income people a feel of the Rich )

No offense though , i'm sure you feel we're cheap and all that

Without piracy, the world may end, who knows!
