Sector 5 from Element Case order thread.

So what's everybody doing about back plates? I'm kinda bored with my ebony wood back and would like something else. But it would have to be a shade of black or grey or white or something along those lines. And I don't want just a skin, I like to have the back be a bit thicker so that the edges of the sector 5 don't scratch when I put the phone down, but instead the back of the phone touches.

I'm kinda disappointed that Element hasn't started selling any parts for the cases yet. They said the Sector 5 would be modular and allow us to change out parts and stuff for other colors and accessories. Seems like we're not going to see that for awhile.
 
They can go ahead and ship my case any time now haha this is gonna be annoying.

Anyone with prior to Dec 13 ship dates still not getting tracking?
 
Day 2 with the black ops and still love it! The wife thinks its a little much but I love it! For sure keeper for me!

think I'll find someone local that can match the finish of the sector 5 to the backplate and spigen metal button......

no wifi issues whatsoever with the backplate on, everything works perfectly.
 
Nice looking back

BTW .... Where you buy this glowing wraps and what color is this ? can you give a link

Awsome! That brings a couple of ideas.......
 
I'm liking that stainless back. Not too expensive for a custom one either. Now to find a cool design to use.

thanks, I'm going to let them do another one; here's the thing with designing your own, the larger the image you send the better the end result: i emailed them a jpeg that was 3000 by 2000 and I got what I wanted

the glow wrap is from Jared at CarboniPhones.com

Can't put my phone down even after 1 week of owning my Sector5. It really gets more and more comfortable each day. I put my LifeProof on and it just didn't feel right.
Who here has had any drops while sporting the Sector5? Just curious how the phone and bumper held up.

that would look sick with the black ops logo to match the case. Cool piece man.
 
Did anyone who had a dec 13th ship date for the black ops get their shipment notification email yet?
