I have found no issue with this Carbon case. We are developing it still but the silicone surround seems to eliminate any problems. The carbon is just a bonus.

Ive never had any issue with carbon fiber before.
 
What is the gooey stuff pushing out of the sides of the case. Is that their "special secret I-foam" Looks like it has more than Element



Sulaco This is what I got from element case last night

Another excuse

I was told they will ship on the 7th when I got my preorder and then no contact after I paid for it. So, I emailed them on saturday and they said it shipped on friday. Then I emailed them again to get a tracking number and they said it is awaiting shipment and I called them on the whole shipped friday thing and they sent me the above email......

I got the same e mail this morning, however my AR15-V actually showed up yesterday. I'll post some pictures soon, i haven't even taken it out of the box yet because i'm not sure if i want to sell it on ebay as i already have a silver/silver vapor.

That's from a company called M-Tech Designs, they are still in the prototype stage at the moment and don't expect it to be available for a few more weeks yet. this is a Youtube video of it though. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rb0lV1AkPqs

I assume this is your company? The reason I say this is that in the first quote you state "We are developing..."

Do you not think you should start your own thread instead of thread-crapping?

What order number were you. I am still waiting on my case.
 
Wow my last order was 745* and I got it 3 or 4 weeks ago. This order is 965* for preorder group 5
 
well after reading all the posts, and still waiting on even being able to order mine, i'm still looking forward to this case. If anyone has one they are looking to get rid of please let me know. I'm looking for a red/black one, but i'm not willing to pay the crazy ebay prices. if i have to, i'll just wait to order straight from the company. i pre-ordered august 8th, but i can't even get them to respond to any e-mails on when i might be able to pay for one myself.

Well, my pre order code was for group 4 but it got lost in my spam so they told me i could use it but to just put it in the comments section when ordering. I ordered Sept 2nd, notified it was awaiting shipment on the 6th, delivered on the 14th.
 
after you pay you get a conformation and it has it on there. If you sign into shopelementcase.com and it will show it there too.
 
No its actually invisishield coming out. I started taking it off before I put the case on then I had to see what the case was going to look like so I went ahead and put it on. They are not using anything secretive in their cases.

No, but I kinda wished I had. They are bringing a mint on eBay.

Black/Red

I am kicking myself for not getting an extreme metal case. I picked up the email about a minute after Element sent it (I was group 5) and gave it a brief thought (yes I thought - I should get one and sell it on eBay) and then I chickened out and didn't order one (I heard they sold out in 30 minutes). Still - eBay is sort of a hell for sellers lately - I've been buying and selling on there since 1997 - but I am getting scared off by all the scams on sellers.

Maybe i'll just keep mine. Still haven't even opened it yet, though.
 
I don't understand after 62 pages of reading why people still are ordering these cases. They perform terribly, their customer service is terrible! I am totally confused. I posted the atomic case numbers and it suffers from nothing that the Vapor does and they have the same colors and they ship the next day after ordering. I am just lost I guess.
 
Holy crap...

I placed my order on September 3th and it was order number 8797. Case was delivered on September 11th.

Well...I ordered on September 2nd (1 extreme metal ar15 whatever), and I got the number 8420. Status says "Awaiting Shipment".

If I'm being honest, I was a little put off by your photos,( no offence )Probly your photos don't do the case justice because they do look nice on the Atomic website.... But saying that, when I do get my case and I'm not happy with it, I will defo give the Atomic case ago from your good review on signal etc.
 
Yea, I need to get that invisibleshield out of there and then retake the pictures but I have been busy today and just haven't gotten around to it. The pictures really do not do the case justice and my camera stinks too but the cases really do look great.
