One must have aluminum case for your iphone 4 Element Vapor Pro
Element Case, as a lot of you all know, is one of, if not the very first company that introduced Apple fans to premium CNC milled cases for the iPhone 4. Their original Vapor series of aluminum bumper style cases were very popular when introduced in the Fall of last year, so popular in fact that they had a 6-8 week wait time on fulfilling orders during that time.
Having owned almost every aluminum/metal/exotic case on the market that requires screws/bolts to install the case to your iPhone, I can tell you that this little Speed Wrench Element Vapor Pro iphone 4 case is a stroke of pure genius. There have been many times out and about that I, for whatever reason, have needed to pop one of my many screwed together cases off my iPhone but couldn’t, because I didn’t have a small enough screwdriver or hex key with me.
The Element Vapor Pro has a built in button for the sleep/wake button of the phone, and this operates flawlessly. It’s a brushed aluminum finish that matches that of the silver portion of the case. Along the right side of the case are 3 symmetrical oblong cutouts, the center of which allows for removal of the SIM tray without having to remove the entire Element Vapor Pro iphone 4 case. This is another excellent thought out area of the case by Element. This allows those travelers out there to remove/swap out SIMs as needed, without having to go through the tedious process of removing the entire case.
As far as fit and finish of the case, it’s a very slim fitting case. It doesn’t add much bulk or thickness at all to the iPhone, and feels pretty good in the hand. Another area of improvement Element has addressed is the amount of “lip” on the front and back of the phone…it’s “lay on the table” design. The original Vapor had hardly no lip on front and back, and therefore you risked your phone’s glass surfaces getting scratched if laid down on a rough surface carelessly.
All in all Element has made a very good performing aluminum hybrid case with the new Vapor Pro. Its cellular performance is quite admirable considering the Element Vapor Pro iphone 4 case’s design is mostly aluminum, with only a small portion of polymer material. Typically a case made from all/mostly aluminum will have a big impact on reception. Not so here. The GPS issue I’m on the fence about…I had one case that worked flawlessly, so I know that the case can perform well here. On the other hand, I had a replacement case that had intermittent GPS issues that have also been reported by other owners.
