Hey guys,

I'll be getting one soon! will do some extensive testing on this case and let you all know how the reception is.. which is what we are all concerned about.

I'll do before/after in strong signal areas and weak signal areas with/without the case..

will show the results in both Field Test mode and just normal bars mode..

gonna take lots of pictures. :) stay tuned!

Looking forward to it. Thanks in advance! :D

Great look forward to it...thank for the review.
 
Just ordered the graphite one. My Element Case Sector 5 will be here Friday, hopefully this comes soon as well so I can compare them and return whichever one I like the least.
 
Finally got DRACO to accept payment. Now lets hope they start shipping on Fri. eBay, would never trust them. Reception, probably legit, but where was it tested? Might be sitting on a cell tower for all we know. Fingers crossed.

Waiting on your word before I place my order. If there aren't any reception issues, I'm in. This looks so much more ergonomic than the sector.

I am curious about this case too. Please help us all with the needed info!!
 
Just ordered on eBay from beanietech28, supposedly he is shipping out this Friday the 26th...
 
Now shipping is Nov 2? At this rate, we will be lucky to get them by Christmas. Wouldn't trust eBay. If DRACO doesn;t have them, how does eBay.

Are you kidding me? I paid $10 for First Class Mail. No other options. How'd you get free shipping?
 
Yeah how'd you get free overnight shipping??

I got annoyed that the 2 youtube reviews were posted and I still didn't have my case so i emailed them twice asking if I could pay for them to overnight it, the 1st time they must not have understood what I meant, the 2nd time I typed exactly what I wanted and since it got pushed back to Nov. 2nd they said they'd overnight it to me free of charge........

delays aside they are giving decent customer service
Element case goes straight to voicemail, you have people here ordering their cases with other people's invites for the Sector 5, I'm still waiting on my email from them, smh
 
I heard that you will be subject to restacking fees of $ 30 if you return your Sector 5.!!

that's absurd....................just like T-Mobile asking for a restocking fee on some of their cheap phones if customers arent satisfied.........
 
hey guys,
so i have a pair of Shure earphone and the earphone jack looks like this (see attachment).
do you think this jack will fit the case? :S

This is what i got in email today.. seems like shipping dates are pushing back..


Hi, thank you for your purchase. Due to the high demand of the new Draco 5. Our first initial shipping date was Oct 26 this Fri, but we just received this memo from Draco Design Inc eariler this afternoon, it is most likely will be push back to Nov 2, which is next Fri instead. But I will keep you posted for any update infromation. We will do our very best to ship out these item out as soon as we receive them from Draco Design Inc. Let me know if you have any question or concern that you may have. Thank you for your patience and understanding!
 
Email back from DRACO who swears rhey are shipping Nov 2nd. Claimed parts are 'scarce' and that's why the delay. What parts. only a block of aluminum. Seeing is believeing.
 
If ship date gets pushed back any further past Nov. 2nd I'm filing a fraud claim for my eBay purchase with PayPal and getting my money back.
