hey guys, does the e13ctron case work with the trunket wood inlays? the pics of it with the draco IV look so nice, but i'm opting to go for the e13ctron since there were complaints about the draco's paint coming off
 
Hi Guys, I'd like to get one for my wife and daughter for coming holidas but wanted to get some feedback for those that has one. How's the case durable? Any signal lost. Want to make sure before pulling $$$$$

I have the hybrid and I have not noticed any signal loss (unlike with the Cleave/Draco that completely killed my signal). Durability does not seem to be a problem. After 3+ weeks of use, it still looks brand-new. And I get lots of positive comments on it. I'm quite pleased with mine.

I got the case with both an aluminum and hybrid back on AT&T 4S- it looks good and feels great, unfrotunatly i had to send it back because it cut a bar of reception. i do live in a bad reception area and my phone couldn't make reliable calls. other than the reception issue it was a good case.

Thank you for the quick response. I show it to my wife and she likes it but once she saw the price she said " Hell No" too much money :D I think some woman are cheap when it comes to buying phone accessories but not for shoes and purses. Is this care also fit the 4's ? don't know if I will get her the new 4's white or black. Currently she has the black iPhone 4 and don't want to make douple expense for premium case.
 
the version of the case that I ordered from hong kong should be here early next week. It shipped out today, so I'll keep you guys posted
 
Here you go Pics aren't the best.Also added a SGP Carbon Backing

I got it from Etsy. It's a little reusable vinyl sticker. I paid $4 for 2 of them.

I used to have it under a transparent case and it worked pretty well there, now it's just stuck on the back of my phone (on top of a back screen protector) and it'll probably fall off soon but that's okay. :apple:

Okay......is that matte finish? I guess once you get bored you can either change the top or bottom. It can get pricey if you start collecting all the colors. Hahahaha
 
Loving mine.

I was just driving with mine and I realized I can't plug my USB charger in with this case on. Maybe it was a weird size but it didn't look very big.

Has anybody had a problem plugging in cables with this case or is it just my cable? Despite that problem it docks jus fine.

It definitely works best with the OEM Apple cable. Although, I have a Griffin, and I just filed the edges to get it to work. Sad but true.

This might be a solution for you: http://www.google.com/search?client....,cf.osb&fp=f9dc7d9405fe1803&biw=1440&bih=764
 
Hmm that was an OEM apple able but possibly an older one. I just got home and tried a different cable (the one that came with the 4S) and it works fine, so that's a relief.

Yep, Matte. Haha yeah it can get pricy. The only change I might make is I might get the aluminum back some day, although I am pretty happy with the plastic material, but it might be nice just to be different.

Yeah, the older OEM cables had wider plugs. I'm using a new one as well.
