ElementCase Vapor iphone 4 case - iPhone Aluminum bumper

The Vapor 4 case for the iPhone 4 is perhaps the meanest, most bad ass-looking bumper / case we’ve seen so far. It’s made from a solid block of “aircraft grade aluminum” and features a non-conductive coating on the inside to do away with that pesky antenna issue.

Vapor4 Case from Element Case, is designed sleek, light, and beautiful with it’s ergonomic shape. Vapor is CNC machined from a solid block of aircraft grade aluminum. Overall, it’s strong and light with only 25 grams. A CNC on/off button is designed into the case to complete the clean lines.

Not only the increase the appearance, this Vapor4 will also fix the antenna issues with the iPhone 4 when in bad signal areas, because the inside of the Vapor case is lined with a very high tech shock absorbing material that reduces the G-forces of an impact.

The case is made of aluminum and comes in two parts, there is a bumper case and also an optional carbon fiber back plate to protect that glass back. The Vapor4 is not cheap, it’s $80. For $100 you also get the V4Carbon, a carbon fiber back plate that will further protect the iPhone 4 fragile glass back.

iPhone Cases Review:
the ElementCASE Vapor case for the iPhone 4 is the most aggressive-looking and lust-worthy case we’ve seen so far. While we love the concept of the Vapor case, the execution misses the mark in a couple ways. Some people might not like the added thickness and weight it adds to the handset, and the case makes the phone’s buttons pretty recessed.
The case is manufactured well, fits snuggly on the iPhone 4, but does have a couple draw backs. Since the aluminum is so thick, the headset jack gets recessed, the vibrate switch and volume buttons can be a little hard to press, and the on / off button, while accessible through an integrated button, loses a bit of tactility.
