e13ctron aluminum case Full Review

eldo33 said:
I started browsing for iPhone 4 case this week and found this one to be a very nice one. I've owned all generation of iphone before and never had I thought of paying so much for a case. This is my 1st one and IT IS DEFINATELY WORTH IT. I contacted the store on facebook and he replied quite quickly. He also noted that there was a place selling it at my local mall so I dropped by after work and picked it up. I spent some time comparing all the colors and wish that I can buy them all but just too expesive. Anyhow, pictures are below. Blue top with silver bottom plus Clear body coat all around.

I like the blue and silver!

e13ctron are still working on the white aluminum tops for the hybrid s4v but they were generous enough to sell me a white hybrid bottom half for the time being along with a blue and silver aluminum tops. Here's some pics of it with the silver:

White iphone with blue is nice. Just not sure about the white bottom. Some other color to pop up the white phone probably better but it's a nice case overall.
 
Ordered mine on 8/4. Still shows order status as "new." I know it's only been two days but I was hoping it would have shipped by now. I guess I'm just impatient. Got polished dark grey on dark grey with black screws. Can't wait to see how it looks with my dark titanium backplate! I'll try to post pics when I finally get it installed.

They usually take 3-4 days to ship, I think maybe they wait until they have a bunch then ship at once. Their customer service is great though.
 
Belt clip

Can anyone recommend a good belt clip that will work with this case? I don't want a "pouch" type holster, just something that the phone clips into and can still be seen.
 
how come I don't see black chrome on their website? And I can't figure out what a Hybrid is? Is that a plastic back and aluminum front? If so, does the back feel really like plastic?

Thanks

I asked them about the black chrome. They discontinued it because the finish wears off rather easily. I have no idea about the hybrid.

Oh nooo, wtf... i was waiting for it for so long, and then I was traveling, and now they don't have it anymore....
Thanks
 
Ordered case 9 days ago, still no word.

Has anyone had these issues with this company? I posted on facebook before ordering and they responded in 24 hours to my questions. Since I ordered I have posted on facebook 2x, emailed them at their sales and info email address and now left a message. I am considering calling my credit card company and cancelling the order.

Daddn, did you ever get yours? Seems all these companies have terrible customer service based on some of the postings on MacRumors.

Thanks for any help, I really like the case but I am rocking a naked iphone, guess if I break it will just use our other upgrade for the next iPhone.

I ordered my case on Sept 12th and received it on Oct. 5th.

They said the delay was due to a problem with their mill. I ordered the hybrid with a polished blue front and black screws. They also included the silver screws and a matte blue front as well at no charge. I think I like the matte better actually.

The case looks gorgeous, but I am seeing some problems with excessive battery drainage with it on.
 
Any good docks out there that work with this case installed? And is supported, I hate having my phone just resting from the pins.
 
Could anybody tell me the main difference between the e13ctron s4 aluminum case and the new hybrid???? is the hybird just a different material that doesn't have any impact on the signal loss?

Only difference is that the hybrid replaces the back aluminum piece with a plastic one. So it's the same aluminum front piece with a plastic back piece and the liner is also integrated with the back piece.
