Sorry to break it to you but you can't buy the FE anymore.

Go check the website, you still can.

Very nice. I think it's graphite not gunmetal.
For the record, it's Gun Metal ;)

To the point. I can still rearrange, hopefully, with Element that I want the FE. As I have got the orderlink from an earlier date I would be, under my perspective, available for a edit in order.

Clear links = not first edition

Doesnt matter. Iam still able to change my mind into buying the FE since I got the order from the past. My order gives me the option to pick the FE. But I picked Silver.

Now, I would like to change that. Simple.

The silver button in combination with the case was the only thing that looked good. But adding the case and the blue wraps make it look awful.

Taste is like the ass. Cracked.

You're entitled to your own opinion however horrible your taste may be. In person the case flows amazingly with the white iPhone and the blue accents add just enough to make it feel personal. FYI there's a difference between your opinion of saying that YOU don't like something and saying someone else's taste is like ass.

Everyone that has seen it is really amazed by the flow of the silver case on the white iPhone. You're not going to get the same uniformity as black on black but then again black on black, although it looks fantastic, to me is boring. Maybe I'll post the pictures later.

Now you are just ripping my post off. Get glasses and you will soon come to realize that I just wrote that. Everybody has their own opinion.

Thank you good sir.
 
Just some clarification on some recent matter:

The Gun Metal is similar to the Sector 5 FE color except the corner links are clear and it does not have the FE logo engraved on the inside. The first batch of these will start shipping on Dec 3.

I think the silver and white looks good, the blue is different it adds some more color to it, I like the silver with silver back and silver spigen home button the best I think the silver case would look the best on the white iphone, the graphite probably looks good on both I wonder why they didn't make a white verison of this case they made a black.

I wanted to post at least once since this thread seems to be always swarming near the top of iPhone Accessories forum category.

Just my opinion, it does not matter fake or authentic Sector 5, it looks hideous and looks like a case made for some teenagers and it does not appeal me at all, let alone the price. Why is this case getting lots of attention? I guess I am a minority here... :confused:

Because at the moment its the only aluminum case that doesn't cause signal interferance besides what looks like the fake vapor pro 5 so at the moment its the most popular

you're just a minority in this particular thread.....
I'm sure there are people in here with ipads that would question why folks would put their devices in a Dodocase, personally I think they're really cool even if they don't hold up but others may find them really ugly and made for senior citizens

As with many things in life, one man's rubbish is another man's gold.

How boring life would be if we all liked exactly the same things.

It's all subjective, but its one of the highest quality aluminum cases out there and we think it looks awesome. Not that I have one for the attention, but I always had people asking me about my vapor pro and I anticipate the same thing happening with the sector. Not sure about your teenager reference.....

Yeah, it's just personal taste...I think it's the best looking case / bumper out period and probably 75 percent of the people that see it like it too.

It's very very light. It maintains the thinness of the iPhone 5. It's funny everyone goes freaking nuts over ottorbox cases - yeah they offer great protection but at the price of sacrificing the design and sleekness of the phone. Not everyone is clumsy like myself so I only need minimal protection.

It probably does look hideous if you like basic cases, I think it's futuristic, sleek, modern and very aesthetically pleasing.

Made for teenagers? Hardly...I am middle aged and love most of the stuff element puts out.

I can fully understand someone not liking it though, it's not for everyone!
 
I bought it because I wanted an aluminum case because I never use to use cases on my phone and they were destroyed in the process. I wanted an aluminum one for the feel and sturdiness and I felt it would be more in line with the quality and build materials of the phone. I also wanted one that wouldnt disrupt my signal quality at all I honestrly would rather have the phone naked but from quite a few past experiances this is a bad idea.

It's because of the name mostly.
Element = Apple
it's not the best looking case and iPhone's not the best phone but that's not stopping people waiting on line to get it.
It's the NAME!

You're making an assumption I bought the case myself because it doesn't kill the signal, never even knew about element and from what I've heard they cut corners in some stuff so if I don't like the case fully ill return it

Not true. I don't buy an iPhone because it "says" apple. I buy one because I like the looks, functionality, apps, battery life, screen, speed, feel and the amount of productivity I can get done on it. I have had Windows phones, blackberry Phones, android phones, flip phones and bar phones and I choose the iPhone because of the reasons above not because of a brand name...

And element isn't just a name, point out another alternative to the sector 5 that has the same looks, weight, feel, finish and one that doesn't interfere with the signal and I will gladly consider it.

Oh yeah and the iphone is the only apple product I use now - my laptop is a Lenovo t430 not a MacBook, my office computer is one i custom built not an iMac and I don't own a tablet at the moment if I were to buy another it may be an iPad maybe not. And i have owned MacBooks, macbookpros, macbookairs, iMacs, apple tvs, iPads and iPods - if the "name" were my sole decision I would still be using all of the above but I choose to use what works for me best.

Sorry, but that's kind of a dumb statement - let me guess, you don't own an iPhone do you? I didn't wait in line to get my iPhone 5 I walked in a store and bought it. Trust me, if it were simply a name that the reason people bought iPhones they wouldn't sell hardly at all.

Anyone else agree with me on this one?
 
What ?
only difference is transparent plastic,silver aluminium button
?????

Do you mean the power button?

And no, its not the same color obviously.

Element replay to someone on the facebook....

"The color of the anodizing on a Sector 5 FE and Sector 5 SE in Gun Metal are the same. The difference is that the corner links are black on the FE and there is no FE logo on the inside of the SE."

I swear, I would buy that in a heart beat if they released it with a black/opaque link rather than the clear they have now. I'm just waiting till they have a customizable one then i'll purchase it... or maybe not... depends if something else takes my interest before that happens.
 
Lucky Labs Coupon Code??

Hi, does anyone has a coupon code for Lucky Labs? I tried a few found in Internet but they don't seem to work (the system does not react upon them, not even a message saying they are not valid)

Thanks,

Francisco
