The ElementCase Vapor is CNC machined from a solid block of aircraft grade aluminum which means it’s strong and light (25 grams).  The finish of the Vapor case is anodized to create a hard protective coating in brilliant colors.  You can get it in anodized black, red, green, and pink for your girlfriend.  We love the anodized black.  The Vapor also has a CNC on/off button designed into the case to complete the clean lines.  For an extra $20 you can get the V4Carbon, a carbon fiber back plate that protects your iPhone’s fragile glass back.  Furthering its high-performance look, the Vapor bolts on to your iPhone 4 with four exposed hex screws.  Well done.
