well well well, either the extreme metals are sold out, or they took the link down for some reason....

but when it was up, i never ordered with a preorder code

they just had a add to cart above the add to wishlist area.

Looks good man. I gotta say I really like the look of that combo. For S**ts & Giggles I ordered The Frost/ Graphite & the Frost/ Blood Red a week ago and haven't hear back from them yet. It still says awaiting shipment. I placed the order on my Iphone not really meaning too ( NEVER SHOP ON A SMALL SCREEN! )and I emailed Element letting them know I goofed up and it was ok if they cancelled the order or shipped me the cases. I though worse case I would sell them to friends or put em on Ebay if I didn't like em. but they look so good I think I'll have to keep them if they ship. I still don't like the port restrictions though.

Hey Glen, Thanks for the pics and kind words ( workings of an Idol mind :D)
Yeah I really dig that finish vs shiny metal. I think it matches the phone much better.
I was a fan of the Nickel until I saw this one. It seems not to overpower the IPhone's good looks with shiny surfaces and glossy bright colours. makes the Iphone 4 look even better in my option.
still hate the port limitations. Yeah, I'm gonna harp on that until they fix it. I will post pics of the Red/Graphite when I get it but with my track record with Element I prolly won't see it for 2 months.

For those who got shipping confirmations, can you let us know what you ordered and what was shipped?

I got shipping confirmation today on my order for a frost / graphite and an AR15-V.

I have pending orders on other extreme metals (including the 007, nickle, and red / frots) and have not heard back on those.

If they show-up @ the Rhino residents you'll LUV them :D. I recall that you thought your original Vapor case felt slippery, that's NOT the case at all with the Frost series. For me the port restrictions are not an issue either, with the previously posted workarounds used.
 
errr...got an email from EC this mornig , say my order status has been changed to "shipped"...but there is no tracking number ...

Ordered a Frost & red on September 23rd. Shipped today. Not bad turn around.
 
mix and match is pretty interesting

now I have the following combination from a graphite frost and red vapor:

black frame /graphite side
black frame /red side
gray frame/red side
gray frame/graphite side

I really like this combo of red gloss/gray matte extreme- will be interested to see how it diffs from the frost red one:

Yeah, it does look really, really good. I just hope they get here before the IPhone 5 gets out. They don't seem to show us Canadians much love from what we have seen so far. We've got hot girls and cold beer. What's not to like...............or is it cold girls and hot beer???? either way, can't go wrong with girls and beer.

It may not be the warm or some times HOT girls or the beer anyway it comes, but CAN or US Costumes :rolleyes:. I'm here in SoCal so I'm just down the street(s) which isn't far but the way it is. Our 1st Vapor Thread included 2,886 replies and 175,079 views, as of your post this thread included 1,990 replies and 127,309 views. These are the TOP two threads of ALL iPhone Accessories. Do figure, a little interest? No giant interest :eek:.
 
Well got my case this week. It actually showed up while "awaiting shipment." I ordered a silver/silver and a nickel plated. Only received the silver/silver. So far I have noticed that signal is affected. I wet from -90 on average in my house to -118 at the same spot. GPS is also somewhat hindered. Not anything crazy, but about a hundred feet off now. I have not noticed wifi being affected yet.

I did notice that insulating the antenna helped some (-110) but nothing spectacular. I insulated with electrical tape. I will get some of the "space age foam" from The hardware store this afternoon to see how this affects it.

I contacted customer service because my cap piece arrived scratched. They responded promptly and I will send it back to them for replacement next week after I see how good I can get the signal.

Overall the case looks awesome and, to me at least, is the best looking option available. I am waiting for fusion werkz and alumacase to compare others' attempts at this type of design. I decided to avoid atomic case after reading all the threads about varying and inconsistent quality.

Hopefully someone finds this useful and please feel free to ask any questions or provide any ideas to help insulate this case from the antenna.
 
Received my case as well today, I was surprised since they never updated my order to shipped. I got the graphite/blue combo, however the graphite side of the case is very scratched, as if it had been used before. :mad:

I guess I'll be contacting Element on monday and ask for an exchange, I think I'll ask for silver/blue instead this time.
