Element Vapor 4 case for iPhone 5

I can’t think of a more visually drool-worthy iPhone 5 case than the Vapor case from Element Case. Machined from a solid block of aircraft grade aluminum and then anodized to create a hard protective coating, it is the only iPhone 5 case I know of that still has a 6-week waiting period a full few months after going on sale. Starting at $80 and going up depending on options and colors, the price of the Element Vapor 4 case for iPhone 5 does not seem to be hurting demand. But is it justified? Well, let’s take a look.

First , the Element Vapor 4 case for iPhone 5 is beautiful, not just to look at, but to hold. It’s kind of hard to explain the way it feels in the hand, but it just makes the iPhone 5 feel cooler. It does add a bit of weight to the iPhone, and yes, even a bit of bulk, but the smooth contours of the metal somehow make it more “fun” to hold. I know that’s geeky to say, but if you’re reading this, you’re probably a geek.The Element case also feels cool to the touch, sometimes downright chilly, which is a cool feeling, although it warms quickly in the hand. Hopefully in 20 years there’ll be some sort of liquid-cooled version that remains cool to the touch.
