Sector 5 from Element Case order thread.

I think the black ops edition is pretty cool (not for me) but still cool nonetheless. And people will still complain about the price, come on - its an element case! If you can't afford it or don't like the price you don't have to buy it :)
 
Well, based on the feedback here on a potential long wait for another Element Case for the I5, after selling my 2 FE's and making some profit decided to order the Black Ops Sector 5. Since I kept a neoprene case from one of the FE's will have the regular one for day to day storage, plus the military type version! Have someone else ordered one?

For anyone wondering when the 26th batch has started to ship. My silver Sector 5 has been shipped today. Should be here tomorrow.
 
My black Sector 5 also just shipped. Hopefully the spigen aluminum button I ordered over the weekend ships soon too.

I guarantee you'll have your spigen buttons by tomorrow or the next day, they dont play games with shipping

spoke to one of the guys at Element a minute ago, should have my case tomorrow morning, persistence pays off, I hit that automated service "0" button until someone picked up, LMAO

anyone else that mountain bikes we might get lucky and get a mounting system for the sector 5, kinda cool idea, I was going to have someone custom fab something but if Element does it I'm buying it

So the black ops sector 5 says type 3 anodizing. I am to believe that is the best anodizing?? So does the sector 5 se have the same level of anodizing??? Just wondering if one is better then the other.

Haha nice.

I would be down with a mount for my mt. Bike. Sounds great! Is that info on their website?

no, just word of mouth, still a concept at this point probably
if there was a case I'd feel comfortable with on a bike though, it'd be the sector 5

Can anyone answer this anodizing question?
 
My silver was ordered 11/5/2012. No tracking yet.

I tried to find out what "flux finish" is. No luck. I assume it's anodized. I believe from my research type 3 anodizing is very good and tough, if not the best. But, how that relates to "flux finish" I don't know. I too wish that would be answered.
 
I feel like all the sector 5 cases have level 3 anodizing I'm pretty sure this is just the black case with colored polycarbonate pieces and different back plate

I've posted the question at the Element site.

"The new Ops case is type 3 anodized. How does this compare with Flux finish? Are they the same? Is Flux an anodized finish? Is Flux finish type 3 anodized?"

I'll let you know the answer. I think you're right.

I feel like it would be expensive for them to change the finish of just one case
 
I hope all are type 3 anodized. I'm getting black either which way. Just hate to have one wear more quickly like this black iphone.
 
Sector 5 SE Silver + White iPhone5

I purchased the Sector 5 SE Silver for my white iPhone 5 but have been disappointed with how it looks. Anyone think the Black SE or BlackOps will suit the white iPhone better?

I would go black. But honestly the aesthetics of the white iphone don't really look good with any of them.
