I'm thinking about getting the silver Sector 5 for my white iPhone 5. I've seen a few pictures here with that combo and it looks amazing!

One question though- Does the case cover/protect the chamfered edges?

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.

I've dropped my FE twice on my ceramic tile floor. Not a mark on the case or the phone. I would have expected at least a ding on the case and was pleased that there wasn't even a mark. One of those times, it landed hard on a corner too. These cases are tougher than I thought for being aluminum.

My favorite is this one:

Most likely black background with the grey markings since my case (still pending shipping :mad::mad::mad:) is the black ops

Oh YESSSSSSS. I had some stuff waiting to put on my phone once the Sector 5 case came, and here it is. I'm loving my setup!!!!!!!!

Sector 5 Element Case + SGP Glas tR glass screen + Lucky Labs Yellow spectra wraps + Element Case carbon fiber backplate = AWESOMENESS

Also, reran the speedtests! WIFI was on before duhhh.
no considerable difference again. This case does NOT cause interference! Will post screenshots in a little bit

By any chance can anyone tell me where to find this carbon fiber backplate for the Sector 5? I cannot seem to find it listed on their website.

custom plate made (I'm a huge Iron Man fan) 1 week turnaround time, these guys are really cool.

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.

could you explain to me how the custom thing works. Im not good with photoshop and such and when i DL the packet to make a custom back it really makes no sense to me how to use it

So I still have not heard anything about my order shipping. This is starting to get annoying. I really wanted it before Christmas actually before this weekend so I feel like this sucks. lol

Anyone think if I email them and ask for over night shipping free since its so delayed they will do it lol

FINALLY got my new BlackOps today!

photo%2520%25281%2529.JPG


The matte black is very nice looking, reminds me my old AR15 case; like it more than the color of my FE (actually bought 2, plan was to keep one and profit on the second one, but ended up re-selling both, making this one only $85 !! :D). I will install the Lucky Labs rash guards tonight and post some pictures.

Since I order a custom Luxe back plate (design on the works) will not use the tactical back plate, so if someone is interested to purchase it PM me.

Can anyone tell me how the gunmetal is holding up to scuffing? Does it scuff as easily as the black iPhone 5?
