I emailed them and it looks like the ronin is a no go for now....They said the designers werent happy with how it looked on the 6 plus.

But the regular Sector and Sector Black ops are on the way for the plus BUT STILL NO Sector Pro:(

Obviously the gold versions won't come out till next year.....:confused:

I'm sorry but that red fire ion case looks horrible. I think the Ronin Titanium looks 10x better.

I'm not responding with anything about your dislike for the red ION case (that's fine, your opinion), but I wanted to clarify that I meant that the Ronin appears to be a crappy case... as in crappy build quality, not looks. Watching it fall apart in the video makes the price-tag quite hard to swallow.

I didn't see it falling apart. I saw it being intentionally pulled apart to try a self repair of a button issue. The buttons may be an issue but the fact that they fell out when the case is disassembled doesn't really mean it's cheaply made. The installation instructions seem to be a problem. There appear to be two liner arms that block the ability to slide the phone into the case. Snapping it in the way the reviewer did could have messed up the way the buttons work. He seemed to get flustered and angry and started treating the case rougher than I would. Cases are often bit flimsy until they are mounted and form a structural unit. Element Case has to work out the installation method and be sure the buttons work (that should be very simple, $10.00 cases do it right).

I have just received my Ronin Titanium and I must say it is a great case
All the buttons are working properly and installation is fine except that it is a bit tricky to get the mute button working.
You need to remove the backplate before sliding the case in, that's the key point. Initially all button works fine except the mute button, it only works in one direction despite multiple attempt (and I am a bit frustrated)
But after I have removed the top crown (in addition to the bottom one) and slide in my ip6 and suddenly it works like a charm. Then just put everything on and everything is working properly.
In summary I think it is really a nice case. The review on YouTube is biased and exaggerated

Thanks for the update. I'm guessing the steep price was on the reviewer's mind as he was struggling with the case, which is understandable I think. Glad to hear you are happy with it though. Looks nice.

Thanks for the review. When you have a chance, can you post the measurements (LxWxD) at their largest point?

I did try the Elemetcase SoftTech ( White ) and noticed that if you have blue jeans and after going in/out of your pocket, the case slowly will turn blue @ the corner :( I did end it up returned...

Wow! That titanium looks incredible. I wish I was crazy enough to spend $300 on a case. I did spend $120 on a aluminum Rokform though.
