Sector 5 First Edition iPhone 5 Case
[Sector 5 Color:Black]
[Purchase Confirmation:I understand that Sector 5 will not begin shipping until Nov 26th, 2012.]

So I don't know if they just didn't change the wording or if it was actually a first edition

Hi, when you ordered yours with "I understand that Sector 5 will not begin shipping until Nov 26th, 2012" when was it actually shipped? Right now it says that the case only ships after Dec. 3rd, I'd like to know how realistic it is to receive it by Dec. 10th!

They ship out in weekly batches on how when they receive it in the batch.

it will not be shipped until after the 26th but before the 3rd of Dec. and so on.

I am in this same batch, I will probably not get mines shipped till most likely the 29th

Hey guys I just ordered this case and I am trying to get this custom dock for the case. Can anyone with the case give me the dimensions of the case?

Went on lunch and was able to catch the fedex guy just as i got to my house. The silver on white is beautiful. I will see if i can take pictures when i get home tonight.

Also, with the glass.t, it is perfect. Almost as if they were designed to go together. I wasn't expecting to like the suede back, but after putting it on, i was quite impressed. Wish i would've waited before buying the SGP back protector, but its okay since i have something to use as a backup in case i change my mind down the line.

Waiting on my aluminum spigen button that should come tonight.

Nice! Would live to see some pics. Haven't seen a silver one yet. Hopefully I get mine late next week.

Yes pictures please!!! Bet it will look awesome did you pick up any spectra wraps?? Bet the silver ones would really make it flow or maybe black for some contrast...what does everyone else think would be a good color wrap to go with his setup? Are you going to use the silver colored button? Don't guess the black one would flow too well huh?

Anyway congrats! We need more pictures people, think I might put my blue wraps on tonight although i really like the matte key lime ones I have on at the moment...

So if I order mine now which isn't going to be shipped earlier than Dec. 3rd, by when do you guys think I'm going to receive it?

Thanks, I call it gunmetal, but it really is a graphite color. The best way to describe the color is literally graphite drawn on a piece of paper.

They're the blue spectra wraps from lucky labs. I also have black and white and I may be willing to trade as I wish I got more colored ones maybe red or yellow. I have matte black and white.

Pics of silver on white please. I have ordered the same set up and wanting to see what it looks like. Have not seen any silver pics yet.

I've been waiting for this also. I can't understand why Element hasn't shown this. It's a natural combination. I have a white phone. The graphite looks good, but I went to the extreme of ordering a silver one also (a lot of money to see if I'm right). Please post pictures, someone.

[Aays06]

Also mine is white. I thought about black, but was afraid of wear and tear after awhile and then the silver showing through. I have seen some other people saying some of the finishes wear and then the aluminum shows through.

[BoomstickMafia]

Ok, I get why several have harped on the packaging now.

Not that the box even matters to me, it's just that you'd expect a little more (ok, a lot more) from a box for a luxury case.

My thoughts:

The box is surrounded by a paper sleeve. And here's why. Because the box that contains the S5 is a repurposed, unused Vapor Pro box. They wrapped the box with a black sticker to cover it up, but on the inside, they couldn't use a black sticker because they printed the S5 info on a white sticker and here is where you can see through the sticker and notice that the box was for a Vapor Pro. So I peeled back the sticker on the bottom and sure enough, there is an image of the Vapor Pro as well.

In addition, the transit case is also a hand-me-down. I'm sure it is the same transit case they have used for all other cases. Only problem is how much bigger the iPhone 5 is. The S5 does fit in it, but one should NOT have to manipulate the zipper to get it to close. It's such a tight fit, I feel like the zipper could very easily scratch the aluminum frame that is the Sector 5 - not cool, not cool at all.

Ok, my rant is over. The best news is that the case looks awesome. It's just a shame for the price point of the S5 that they repurposed the box and transit case.

I also must say that I have applied the ultra suede back plate and I like it far better than I ever thought I would. That said, it's coming off as soon as they rectify the CF.

Sorry. iPad picture will have to do for now. Slr battery is dead

Depends on how far you are in. Preorders closed on the 16th. So not for a while if you order now

[Adutrumque]

Can I request pictures of the white iPhone with the FE edition ? Thanks.

Btw just noticed. The SE has the "FLUX" finish aswell. Just to clarify.

[Dexy]

The FE and the SE gun metal is the SAME finish and color....only difference is transparent plastic,silver aluminium button and SE don't have a engraved logo inside of the case

Maybe it's just the blue wrap turning you off.

I don't think it's the silver. it's just that this case doesn't look good on white iphones, period.

It's that monolithic uniformity of the black screen that works well combined with the case.
