It certainly isn't a perfect phone case, and it does cost a pretty penny, but the Vapor Pro "Black Ops" is a wonderful little iPhone case… and hopefully it will work with the iPhone 5, whenever that may emerge. I can't say that you need to spend $150 on an iPhone case, but if you're in the market for a high-end case for your phone, the Vapor Pro is a great choice.

I am very disappointed in Element Case. I have been using a Vapor pro with nothing but good things to say for the past 7 months. I recently upgraded to the iphone 4S and my case does not fit correctly. When I screw it down the whole way the button on the top is held down, disabling the phone. When I e-mailed to report the problem I was told I was out of luck as the warranty is up. I expected more service than this for a $170 iPhone case.

If the case says that it'll fit the 4S, I would definitely classify that as a disappointment.

Well I've got an iPhone 4s and it's great. came across these cases and fell in love. they are definitely bad ass looking and when i got it i was super excited. got the vapor comp, fit great and looked sweet. however the aluminum case has killed my service. when i received a feedback request from element case and told them this same thing I've still 2 months later yet to get any return from them. now still using it even with the lack of service because i have paid so much for it it's gotten worse. i have to take it off every other day so that i can clean the dirt out from underneath it that is scratching my phone to shit and the black anodized bolts have worn off and look like shit. recommendations, do not buy any cases from them! not worth the money at all

they are so full of sh*t. i ordered a ronin on the 15th dec and they are supposed to send it by the 20th. it didn't happen and when i asked their customer support the first time they replied and said they would send it that evening via fedex, which they never did. And the second time when i asked about it, they gave me a refund and said that paypal had security issues with my account which is such a lie, because i've done plenty of transactions with other vendors and this never happened before. don't do business with these amateurs.

Nice case, but I prefer the Pong Research iPhone case . The World Health Organization has declared that cell phone radiation may be linked to brain cancer. Ten studies connect cell phone radiation to diminished sperm count and sperm damage. Others raise health concerns such as altered brain metabolism, sleep disturbance and behavioral changes in children. So I looked ways to reduce cell phone radiation effects. I found cases from Pong Research, I read that this technology reduces exposure to radiation while optimizing the mobile reception. I was skeptical about it, anyway, I decided to try it, because Pong is the only technology proven in FCC-certified laboratories to reduce the exposure to mobile device radiation by up to 95% below the FCC limit without compromising the device’s ability to communicate.
