Clearly a spam advertisement. lol
I reported them.

I bet that means only one is going to ship. Mine message is the same as your except for list/13. Wish we knew the importance of that list in terms of shipping.
I placed the 2 orders with two different e-mail accounts and payed one with Paypal and another one with a credit card. The funny thing is the one that already has the comment that has been reviewed is the one that is not associated to the e-mail I registered for the pre-order. lol
Lets see what happens.

Out for delivery! Trying to figure out what color spectra wrap I want to put on - I have black on right now but from where my ottorbox rubbed against it they aren't on quite even...
Pictures to come as soon as it gets here.

Its more expensive that you think. I got my sector 5 2 weeks ago to Sweden. Today i got a invoice that i have to pay customs and tax fee to fedex. Just 436kr.

It's here!
Finally! Arrived about 30 minutes ago))
Took the black spectra wraps off and put the Key Lime (matte) ones on. Cleaned the back really well and put the ultrasuede back plate on.
Installed the case and WOW! Pictures just do not do it justice, it feels smaller and thinner than I though it would be but let me tell you it feels and look awesome! Element, you did a great job with this...I may order a black one as well but the graphite looks REALLY good.
The Sector 5 really does preserve the thinness and sleekness of the Iphone 5- I was using an ottorbox commuter just to get by with so I couldn't wait to have a bumper so small.
First impressions:
The transit case is a little on the small side, I barley fits with the S5 on but I did kind of stretch it out around were the zipper is and it fits a little better, It will probably loosen up after a bit of use - and I do use the transit case with Element Products, I did with my vapor pro and Iphone 4S since I use a jawbone ERA headset.
I didn't even take the rash guards out since I am using the Lucky Labs spectra wraps so I can't comment on those.
My Spigen GLAS.tr as other have mentioned does rise above the edge of the case so no more laying it face down unless it is a soft and clean surface.
No signal issues yet, I am still at my office so I will comment more on that later.
Packaging - yes the box is cheap, WHO CARES??? I don't buy product because they come in cool or expensive boxes with nice print, It could have came in a ziplock bag for all I care.
I really liked the metal speed wrench like the one that came with my Vapor Pro, if it is the same size I may continue to use it - The plastic one is nice but the metal one is way cooler.
The lock button is very responsive, much better than my ottorbox that felt like it took 10 pounds of pressure to press.
Very lightweight. Looks great with the grey suede backplate.

Words can not describe how badly I want this case (although I'm not super keen on their backplates). If only I could sneak one past my wife, unfortunately she has already seen the price

Thanks, very similar to yours! I don't have yellow wraps yet, blue and silver came in today but I'm sporting the green for while.
Not the most honest way but tell her you bought a knock-off on ebay or amazon for much less.Words can not describe how badly I want this case (although I'm not super keen on their backplates). If only I could sneak one past my wife, unfortunately she has already seen the price

F*kk.. Fu*kkk.... Sometimes they skip the tax.. it depends..
I pray to god that this wont happen to my package.
I think the line is if it's a package worth over 500 kr , then it's taxed. I'm not too sure tho.
My friend also got the invoice from fedex.
Yes. If its marked as a gift then the limit is 500kr.
I just got mine as well. (Was my own invite. lol)

Looks awesome!!!
The Vapor Pro speed wrench works. I wish they would have kept with that. The plastic seems too cheap. Plus you can have extra screws in the wrench itself.
Can you comment on your Spigen aluminum home button? Does it stick up from the glass? Or did it stick up a great deal before putting the glass on?

Just got my Fedex tracking for the 2nd order under the same invite, still pending invite on other one
i used one of the links posted to place my order. i emailed them just to see if i got bumped or if they would even notice. they replied that the case would be shipped on the 29th like it said when i ordered.
