Is that matte or?, where did you get that orange heaphone plug?, that look cool, thaks.
As mentioned by JonMPLS, I cut the black plastic around the collar at the base of the 3.5mm plug.
I just happened to see this at the e13ctron website:
"screws (size #0-80x.25"long) and one standard hex tool (size 1/16"). "
edit: I think their website might be wrong. When I used a micrometer on the hex tool I got 1/32" instead. Just a FYI . . .
I really like the black and silver color combo, that looks great!
My wife was nice enough to order the dark grey front and back for me for Christmas. I absolutely love this case, I haven't run into any issues what so ever. The fit and finish is really nice. I think it's time to order a silver and black combo now
. Here are some pics...
Dark grey, glossy finish. Plugs are from the Colors case at Switcheasy.com. Hope that helps.
WOW this case looks amazing!! I just bought some Etymotic HF3's so I am curious if these headphones will plug in with any issues? anyone have any feedback on these?
I'm located in San Francisco and the case works Awesome. I've seen a decline of 1bar in certain areas but does not affect the way everything performs witch amazes me. I've tried Vapor,Blade,Raw and Karas Kustoms and this case is no doubt out performs all of them. If you feel it's not working for you send them an email cause there coming out with a plastic back piece.

I received my e13ctron s4 Case earlier this week after ordering Xmas Day, the turnaround was amazingly fast. Shipped Monday, two days after Xmas Day. Ordered polished Black/Black with additional Blue top.
I'm one of the early Vapor4 adopters / users that have had very little signal degradation after my modifications of the Vapor4. Until now the Vapor4 was my Case of choice.
With that said I'm VERY impressed with this e13ctron s4 Case. Fit & finish is by all means 5 star. Finish is as good as Elements Vapor4 which as we known is superb. The fit is on a higher level than of Vapor4, with the precession of the very functional molded plastic liner inserts. The lay on the table depth is very precise and deeper than that on the Vapor4, which is a plus. Oh yes I've experienced no issues with signal strength, GPS accuracy or lag and wi-fi strength. This case rocks, the search is OVER for me.

Are there any pictures of a silver/dark gray combo floating around out there? I'd like to see how that looks
they had a christmas promo, free shipping to the US. but since i'm not from the US, nick of e13ctron gave me a deal i couldn't refuse, a free top of any color that i chose.
did the purchase, blue and light silver and a red for the extra top.
i love this case that after a week of using it, i ordered an extra orange top.

Awesome review. Is there a color selection? Or only silver?

No where near as nice as the Vapor, and more expensive than the Vapor.
Not sure what the appeal is here . The screw holes make the top look unnatractive in my opinion.
As far as signal goes, they are both aluminum and they both affect signal.
How do I know this...? Because I purchased this case, and after a day, sold it to a friend. It was no better than Vapor regarding signal loss and gps degradation , and the Vapor was much better looking.
Just my worthless opinion.
