Well, that saved me posting pictures.

Have to say, this is an amazing case. The leather sleeve is top quality as well. Literally the first thing that happens when you open the box is the smell of high quality leather.

Not to crazy about the slight rainbow heat finish on the titanium, but unlike anodized aluminum it's easy to refinish, which is another bonus.
 
I've just ordered my new Ronin case.
Looks like my black ops case will be for sale soon !!
 
My new ronin case has arrived safely.
Will put pictures up tonight.

I was just winging about paying $40 for another case. $350 is no problem if that is the only case bought and kept for the life of the phone ie 2 years.
I have spent $250 on cases and still havn't found a winner. And will probably get the new iPhone too. Lucky for me all Tax right offs. Ebay here they come.

So no you are not mad ;)

Sweet case.
 
I just bought one

I just bought one from one of Element Cases' resellers and it will be here next week. I am going to pair it with an iPhone 5s.

All the above points are valid in my mind. Top quality costs money and I like knowing that my case on the ever ubiquitous iPhone did not come from Best Buy.

Very cheap but I don't know if the cases are imitation


Looks fake to me. All their text is copied verbatim from the actual element site. Do you really truly in your heart think that a company would set up a duplicate website, except crappier, with special discount prices? Especially when the market is rife with counterfeits? Not a chance they are real. The difference is you're paying $200 for a fake instead of $25-50.
 
I have a genuine and fake Ronin G10 Stealth and there is a big difference. I only paid $25 for the fake.

Fake:

  1. Not real G10 made out of molded plastic.
  2. Shape is a little off but without putting them side by side you can't really tell.
  3. Bottom piece doesn't have the seperations for the speakers and lightining cable, instead it's just one big opening.
  4. Buttons arn't rounded instead and the E logo on mine was silver.
  5. Power button is not G10 but plastic. I think this is the single best way of telling a fake if they post their own pictures.
  6. The backing is crap.

But for $25 it's a really nice bumper case got many compliments before I received the genuine.
