looks great!

thanks!

Pardon me for asking but since this is aluminum, does it effect the cell signal very much? I notice it has two Polycarbon inserts. do they help the signal?

I just compared it with my wife's ip5 with a regular plastic case,this made you lose about -25db indoors and about -20db outdoors but gps seems accurate and it still have LTE.

Edit: Mine is the elite version, it doesn't have the two Polycarbon inserts but came with the backplate. The one with the inserts is the Defender.

I just received this in the mail. It's the HEX Focus Case for iPhone 5. Feels nice so far.

Edit: the last picture looks like there's a tear in the leather on the bottom right but it's just the reflection of the light. I had to check the case after seeing that picture, lol.

Their seems to be two models the "Defender" and the "Elite". The Defender has plastic separators. Since the Element Sector 5 works well signal wise with separators I wonder if the "Defender" model will work better signal wise. You have a lot of experience with metal cases. What' your opinion on this?
 
Just got this spigen looking case with no branding for about 4.87 usd from a local market. I must say, I am pretty impressed with the fit and feel of the case. I normally use my phone naked, but the black/white contrast looks so cool, I couldn't resist. :p the mute button is a bit hard to reach tho.

Based on your comments, I am assuming you really like it? I am so torn on the magpul for some reason. I still have 2 in my cart at amazon

At least get one because yes it's an awesome case all around. Still use mine!

thank you for the advice. I currently have the clear cellhelmet, which i like and appreciate the warranty. However, after 1 month, the sharp edges and become more frayed and even sharper
 
Thanks for a good thread with lots of cool cases! Does anyone have a suggestion for a case (iPhone 5) that's quick and easy to put on and off, and protects against water damage (i.e. sweat) when e.g hiking, skiing, or at the gym...

It's a bit difficult to see if the cases in this thread has a front cover as well as how easy they are to use :)

Cheers

Still going strong with the Caudabe Perimetric. Soft case / plastic dual layer case. Really nice.
