Yeah, I'll just wait to buy mine from the source in China when they start selling these, no need to pay for Element's mark up.
Got a tip for us?

Don't get me wrong it's a nice case figment to feel and comfort way more comfortable then the sharp lines if the sector 5, but it's made in China so it shouldn't be long before some replica is out
On top of that I didn't like running my 5snaked since everyone says the aluminum scratches easily
Just a follow-up to mention that I've been using my Solace case (Italian Red) for several weeks now and I love it. I'll agree the price is a little more than I wanted to pay, but the case looks great and I've already gotten several compliments on it.
And I also have noticed no signal degradation whatsoever.

Where's the pics?? I know a lot of people have bought this but no pictures are surfacing! I want to see some different colors on different phones. Post them up if you have one.
Will this case work with this lightning adapter?

I don't think so. The opening is fairly narrow. The extension cable fits fine though.
Sorry it took so long. Have not been checking this forum as often since I decided on my case.

I just recieved the red one, its easily one of my favorite cases! but for $80 it better be.
I asked element case if they would consider making a white back plate for this case because i personally think that would look amazing!

The lightning to 30 pin adapter appears to work with my new Solace case. It's a very snug fit, but it doesn't appear to distort the metal. The snug connection really helps to stabilize the phone if you are using it on something like a B&W Zeppelin, or other device with a 30 pin iPhone connection.
I've had numerous compliments on the styling of the case. There's only one word for it, svelte! The long edges are actually ever so slightly concave and really add to the styling. It also helps in getting a firm grip on the phone. The other thing I've noticed is that the case does not irritate any part of my ear when I'm using it.
Only downside I can see is if you change your SIM card frequently this is not a good choice (other Element cases have SIM card access), otherwise it's a great case. It definitely stands out from the run of the mill silicon garbage that makes the phone look clunky.
I use this adapter on my iHome and it's a perfect fit. It is snug like elliowb said, but I agree that it's a good thing because my phone doesn't wobble around when it's "docked" in the iHome.
Still very happy with this case!
