You would need to pick up a dock extender for any of them to fit - they're fairly inexpensive and work well:
Something like this guy:

check out made2dock. It may be compatible. On the made2dock site there is a chart that says the "Slim plus" version is compatible with the electron S4. Does anyone know if the dock area for the electron S4 and the atomic hybrid are similar ?
I will take a couple of pictures for you tomorrow. Its on my phone. Love it. Very shiny.
Problems with Atomic Diamondback Satin Silver order
Hey guys, If any of you is contemplating ordering this product from Atomic, you should be aware of the problems I've had so far. I ordered one of these on April 30th and was told that it would be sent to me by May 13th. Nothing! So I sent two emails to Atomic before I got a reply from customer service telling me that the company was at the mercy of the anodizers and that my case would be sent out by the end of the following week. And again, NOTHING! And not a peep from the company at this point about this latest delay. With shipping and handling, I paid $209.95 for this case and was hoping I'd have it by now to see how well it worked and review it for others who might be interested in purchasing it. The company adamantly claims the case WILL NOT interfere with the phone's signal, but I can't confirm this until I actually get it. I'm pretty certain my case won't be shipped this week either. In fact, I'm beginning to wonder just how long it will take to get it, or if I will? Fortunately, I made the purchase through PayPal and can file a claim if I never receive the product. At the time of this posting it will have been almost a full month since I placed my order and despite delivery promises at least twice, I've not received the case and no word from the company as to when it will ship. If and when it finally does arrive, I will post a review of the case here and let you know whether I think it is worth the expense and/or the wait! In the meantime, consider yourselves warned!

Here you go bud. The apple logo is cut out to the T. The weave looks great under different lighting.

okay , thx
got question though,
how thick is it compared to the sgp or other 3m sticker based carbon back ?
is it still thin enough so that when you put your phone on the table, the atomic case/ element vapor case is the one that touches the table not the carbon back ?
and if i buy the atomic composite case does this carbon backing comes with it ?
or i must buy it seperatelly ?
another thing is what you mean by "The apple logo is cut out to the T" ?
thank you once again.

If on the table the case touches the table not the carbon. I am staring at it now on a glass table. "Cut to the "T" meaning accurate.
ok thx
anyone know wheter or not we get the back carbon back if we purchase the composite hybrid case ?
or is it sold separately ?

The CF backing is sold separately. I also have the true carbon on mine - I have to admit, I prefer the older style where you could actually "feel" the carbon fiber threads as opposed to the glossy true fiber - but the glossy is definitely a touch thicker and makes the phone at least FEEL more protected.
Hi guys, here's my black/orange case
This looks hot. How is the reception?
While I can't speak for others, I've been using a hybrid since they've been out and have not seen any reception issues. I recently gave one of my older hybrids to my office mate who, likewise, has seen no difference in reception with or without the case.
Overall I love the hybrid. It's definitely a "Fashion" case, meaning that it's not going to compete with things like otterboxes and the like in terms of protection, but it definitely gives the phone a unique look (And mind has also survived a few drops without difficulty). Personally, I love the case and it's the one that i"ve had on my phone the longest without getting sick of it. It gets a lot of attention when I'm out and about as well. People tend to think I'm carrying something besides an IP4, and are shocked when they see the apple logo.
I have reviewed this case in detail (on my blog). The reception is as good, if not better, than the naked iPhone. No issues with wifi, GPS and cell signals. HTHs.
They dont make silver and blue. Do do you mean silver with black rail and blue with black rail. This is off their site.
