I have been informed by ElementCASE, you will be able to add your own engraving to there product later on down the line.

I would like this product if it has the same bottom as the Apple Bumper as in has 3 holes in the bottom(1 for the speaker, mic and charger) rather then one big hole. also the removal of the logo which i take it will happen when they allow us to engrave own logo's or name in.

I am sure you have all seen this case befor. Has anyone on here received this case yet from the 1st pre-order?

Iphone 4, Other OS

i thought the same costs a lot, if it had what i wanted (3 holes in the bottom and personal engraving) and inc the carbon back at $70. I would happy pay for it.

Also would be nice if they sold the color parts separate. so u can chop and change. without having to buy the full thing again. I am guessing they will do this at some point if the product takes off. Or I can just take a spray can to it

I like the look of the case, but am afraid it wouldn't work with any of my docks.

I don't have or use any docks yet. does anyone know if there is a dock extender cable or socket? i am guessing there is some where out there.

sins Steve Jobs is saying the iphone 4 needs a bumper for it to work do you think he will release a dock that is compatible with the apple iphone case?

I ordered one and talked to the designer a few weeks ago. He said it will work with a dock but I will have to wait and see. I noticed it has a bigger cutout in the bottom so I know it will work with my Alpine car stereo and the Apple bumper wouldn't work. I took my bumper back because it wouldn't work with my car charger or car stereo. As soon as it arrives I will update this thread to let you know.

I got the nude case, and that one works in the existing docks. It is only 1mm thick and does not take up extra space... Very happy with that one. Comes in different colors, and has buttons to close off the bottom and top openings if needed. (I do use the headset closing plug but not the bottom one)

I was on the first pre-order and haven't received it yet. It still says "awaiting fulfillment". I personally like the bigger hole at the bottom because it will fit my Alpine car deck.

The best dock extender i have seen can be found at www.iskin.com. You will find it under accessories. It works with the Apple universal dock and looks totally clean and flush. I love mine

I've been waiting for the Vapor since the first round of pre orders. It has gotten a bit ridiculous, they've really dropped the ball on this one.That BS that they where waiting for Apple just doesn't fly with me. I don't think I'm alone in this.

I preorderd mine and they e-mailed me back on the 23rd saying they will start shipping the following week, which means this week.

I will do a vid review when it arrives.

Also, i am concerned of it being able to dock, although i feel it won't dock on a custom iPhone 4 dock adaptor, it should dock on a universal dock, without them..
I hope that it will accommodate my headphone adaptor which i plug into my car stero, which the iphone 4 apple bumper won't.
