I can’t think of a more visually drool-worthy iPhone 5 case than the Element Vapor 4 case for iPhone 5. 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. But is it justified? Well, let’s take a look.
First up, the Element iphone case is beautiful, not just to look at, but to hold. It’s kind of hard to explain the way the Element iphone case feels in the hand, but it just makes the iPhone 5 feel cooler. It does add a bit of weight to the iPhone 5, 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 iphone case also feels cool to the touch, sometimes downright chilly, which is a cool feeling, although Element Vapor 4 case for iPhone 5 warms quickly in the hand. Hopefully in 20 years there’ll be some sort of liquid-cooled version that remains cool to the touch. Element Vapor 4 case for iPhone 5 is just another tactile sensation that you sort of have to experience to understand why I’m mentioning it.

The Element iphone case comes in two pieces, along with four small Hex screws (as two extras) as well as a small hex wrench to assemble the iphone 5 case. If you’re not used to assembling a iphone 5 case, don’t worry, it’s pretty easy. The larger piece of the case slides onto your iPhone 5, and the Element iphone case is a very snug fit. There’s a slight lining on the inside to keep the iPhone 5 case from scratching your iPhone 5, which would be quite likely otherwise, as this thing is machined to fit extremely snugly. Once inside, simply put the right side pieces on, insert and tighten the screws, and you’re done. The fit and finish is of an EXTREMELY high quality, and it feels like your iPhone 5 is inside a suit of armor.
