Element Vapor 4 case for iphone 5

        I've always likened the high-end, aluminum bumper iphone 5 case to hypercars like the Lamborghini Reventon or Aventador because that's precisely where they seem to draw their lines from. The Element Vapor 4 case for iphone 5 by Element Case is certainly no exception. In fact, it continues just exactly that tradition from  Element Case, bringing their trademark quality and corners to Apple's latest iPhone.
        Element iphone case has made two major innovations with the Element Vapor 4 case for iphone 5. The first is in the way you put it on and take it off. With past versions of the aluminum bumper, you had to remove and replace multiple screws and deal with a fussier, two part assembly. Now it's streamlined down to the new Multilink system -- one screw, and one piece. Open, insert your iPhone 5, close, secure, and done. It's still more effort than a soft, slip on case, but as far as metal goes, it's a huge improvement.

        The second is in the manufacturing. The Element Vapor 4 case for iphone 5 is still CNC machined in the U.S. from T6061 aluminum, but the new trussed design gives it a much lighter feel; almost as unbelievably light as the iPhone 5 itself. The one negative about the trusses, however, is that there's more area for dust and lint to find purchase. It's nothing the occasional wipe-down won't fix, but the more complex the architecture, the more involved the upkeep.
        I used the Element Vapor 4 case for iphone 5 for a week and had absolutely no problems with reception, including in areas with low cell signals. I don't know if its the trussed design or the polymer RF bridge components, or the different antenna system of the iPhone 5 itself, but I never dropped so much as a bar. Voice sounded the same, and LTE downloaded every bit as fast.
        Overall, the Element Vapor 4 case for iphone 5 looks great and feels even better. It's a premium product, made out of high-end materials, using a high-end process, and has a price-tag to match. But if you want something that makes your iPhone stand out from the crowd, then the element iphone case will be a suitable choice.
