Partridge: Thanks for sharing the pictures of the Black Ops, it does looks awsome!. When did you ordered yours? Mine is still listed as processing, I ordered on November 27, 2013.
I ordered on the evening of the 26th. However I had previously preordered the First Edition and changed it, so my order date was listed as Nov 6th (the date of my initial order), which may have bumped me up the line?
Not true. I changed order also was November 7 originally and still no shipping. This is bs I think in elements part. Anyways. That's weird your case didn't come with privacy shield. Yes I wouldn't use either but would complain. And as far as the rash guards. U would have them keep sending you some until they fit right.
I lucked out even though i had a tuesday estimated delivery from fedex
they showed up this saturday

Sector 5 silver-Luckylabs full wrap carbon fiber back, brushed metal top and bottom+ logo, red wrap. black iphone 5.
I'm not really feelin' the brushed metal combination; took a shot in the dark to see how this would turn out.
Anyone else have gaps like in the first two pictures? when I rotate the phone around in my hand I can see through the left and right edges.

Nice
What gaps?
That gap. It's not a defect, it's part of the design.
It's unavoidable with this case. The rails can't be actually touching the phone, or they'll rub and damage it metal on metal, so there are small felt pads covering the potential contact points. If they made the cutouts any smaller, you wouldn't be able to access the controls.

yeah that is what I assumed as well. Just wanted to make sure anyway.
One thing I would like to share about this case is how solid it makes the whole phone feel. besides the gaps it really does feel like its an extension of the phone its self. I was never a fan of typing in landscape but now that I can grip the phone with the sector 5 around it, it feels very solid.

Yeah, their more prominate with thicker wraps on the side of your phone also, you could take the pads out and let it touch the phone but you run the risk of damage. I have lucky labs carbon fiber wraps and their a lot thicker so it sticks out some but I got use to it.

Has anyone got the black ops edition? If so can you please post pics of all sides to see if its worth buying or my son. I would greatly appreciate!

I have those gaps as well, I thought they were because of the wraps
I like what you did design wise, nice work!!!!!!!!
You dont realize how cool this case and the wraps and skins are until you pull it out at a location, I was watching Pacquioa (however you spell his name) go "night-night" and this kid was looking at my phone like it was something wild......

Boy he did go night night! Man, I've never seen him take a shot like that! He's done. Ok, back on track.
Thanks. I have to credit Tan back in like pages 27 or 31 he posted a black on silver sector 5 with red wrap on just the bottom and I thought it looked great. The red wrap that goes around the outside really compliments a black iphone with the sector 5 in black or silver.
Pac sure took a nap out there tonight. At least the fight was much better then the last bradley nonsense.
So I didn't realize the lightning to 30 pin adapter made by apple even with the .2m extension does not fit this case. I know this was discussed pages ago but for some reason assumed everyone was referring to the cheaper adapter without the .2m cord. I didn't know the adapters lightning plug was fatter then the stock lightning usb cable from apple. I wasn't about to drive around without being able to charge/play music. Its a very simple fix. You just bust out a dremel and sand it down a couple mm on either side.
bam done. Not necessary but I coated on some white out to cover up the scuffyness after taking these pics.
Anyone else have received a black ops? I wonder how the yellow Lucky Lab wraps will look with the yellow links of the case, that is the combination I'm considering (also bought olympic blue and regular blue just in case the yellow does not look good after all)
Does anyone on here actually have the black ops edition yet? I've seen someone post a pic but now they won't post anymore! Id like to see more of the case.
Does anyone have a pic of their phone with one of the Skateboard graphic backplates installed?
