really? so in your case its too loose? or its too tight? my friend had to help me get it on lol he squeezed i screwed!

I tried to squeeze it many times by my self but but ít's too tight, I can't join to place the screw:(

Then, I decide to take the rashguard + foam out and the case fit perfectly, so the problem is in the thickness of rashguard. Now I don't have any foam remaining, can you suggest something to replace it:(

Do the black ops versions come with the awesome VZ grips backplate?

Yes, but it's a bit smaller than iphone, so it won't cover all the back. And the camera hole is smaller too, you will cover a bit of camera with this fake back, but it won't affect the sight of camera, so you can still use it.

Does this case scratch up the sides of the iPhone 5? As I know, the side along the bottom of the iPhone 5 where the speaker and lightning connector are does not have the soft felt lining on the Elements case unlike the top. I went to Caseswill local store to feel around the edges and they are quite sharp and not perfectly smooth.

I'd have a heart attack if I took off the sector case to see my chamfered edge completely silver. :eek:

Just installed mine.... It's meh. Would not fit with the rash guards so I had to remove the bottom guard. I might like it better if the screws were black. The back pieces are too small and very sticky. I already ruined the suede back.

I don't know if this is an issue with only this fake or both fake and original case, but it does hurt me usually while grabbing the phone. The edges of the case are not smooth, tiny gaps between the insert (plastic part) and the case scratch me sometimes too. Are there anyway to smooth them?:confused:

anyone order from caseswill using DHL in the states? How long did it take for you to get it?

:EDIT: I seen this on aliexpress and wondering if I should pull the trigger. Would any of you? Its free shipping with a estimated 5-10 day delivery. http://www.aliexpress.com/item/2012-New-Model-BLACK-COLOR-Element-Vapor-Sector-5-Aluminum-Metal-Bumper-Case-Cover-for-iPhone/697065990.html

I ordered this last week. 3 working days to process transaction. 2 working days to get tracking info. Still in China though. I guess 8 working days to go then.

That seller does have good feedback and the lowest shipping time of all. Thats what made me pulled the trigger anyway.
