i get it from fellow forumer here. but the thing is i email e13ctron they did not reply me. further more i tried checking out the screws ALONE the shipping is the same if u ship the case. =.= why would anyone pay 20+shipping just for the screws only ... so i am looking for alternatives. if only the shipping was lesser i would have gladly order from e13ctron.
Dropped my e13ctron twice, first was in my car in which it bounced off the dashboard and landed on my lap; second was a drop around three feet onto my bedroom floor tiles..
Only received 1 very minor chip at the left edge of my bottom piece, less than 2mm... The aluminium's sturdy for sure, other than that, no other scratches at all..
Mine did the ol flip out of the hands a couple days ago onto the pavement, landed right on the corner of the phone, it was a fall that had a lot of momentum and it survived. There is a small knick that through the finish though
regarding drops . . .
thanks for replying! It sounds like the phone came out fine anyway. I was just wondering if the aluminum would transfer too much shock to the phone itself. Perhaps the plastic supports are providing just a little shock absorption.

Ya it was probably a top 3 fall out of all my iPhones since 2007
. One of those jugulars where you end up tapping it and it goes higher before it actually falls it was a good 4-5' drop and then tumbled about 3-4 more times. I was surprised how there weren't a lot of nicks all over the metal. Just one CEOThe initial impact.
hihi dun mind can u help me locate which is the correct ones? cause i do not know the size of e13ctron screws lol.
order them from e13ctron and type n001 in the coupon area and it should give you free shipping
Can anyone confirm if the e13ctron is part of the few aluminum cases that work with a universal dock sans an adapter (empty tray)?

I have the first gen universal iPod dock and the iPhone 4 in the e13ctron case fits fine with no dock adapters installed.

Holster options?
Hi all. Just ordered the s4v, and I'm hoping someone here can recommend an upright holster that works with these cases. I've seen the speck holdster mentioned but I'd like to find something else, if I can. Thanks!

Just got this e-mail from Jacob regarding the s4v shipping:
>I just got it back from the anodizer (was supposed to have fri) we will
>engrave it today and it will ship out tomorrow
>sorry for the delay

Getting excited
well thats good to know, my credit card was charged a while ago!
Where is the hybrid back?!?!?
I just took my electron case off. The decrease in data transfer internet speeds and the GPS problems were just too unbearable for me.
Which really surprises me, because I live in both Los Angeles County and Orange County in Southern California, and both areas are very heavily populated with decent AT&T coverage.
Back to the incase slider for now...

How does it perform compared to the at&t version? Any difference?
Here are some pics of the soon to ship Verizon compatible s4v:

Less than one bar of signal loss generally. I don't have a Verizon iPhone, but I'm reporting this from someone using the case (in the pictures).
