What docks are you guys using with the Sectors?
Haven't tried.
Of cos you can.

Can you use the case without the backshield? Are there any problems with that setup
Of cos you can.
I plan on using the Sector 5 with Sticker boy side wraps but I am worried that that combination will leave the chamfered edges susceptible to scratches. Has anyone tried using the rash guards (which cover the chamfered edges) with the Sticker boy side wraps over it?
This is 100% fake....
The screw are not black, and the suede backplate are not black in FE
Element case doesn't provide two sets of hinges in black and clear. This is a fake you can get cheaper.
Definitely a fake. Not many people noticed this but you can tell the first edition fakes and real ones by looking at the round edges where the hinges connect.

i really like the sector 5 case. It is very excessive as all I wanted was an apple bumper like they made for the iphone 4/4s and I stumbled across this thread and really liked the way the first edition case looked. I've had the case for about a month now and the case is showing wear on the back which stinks but I'm OK with it. I do have the black rash guards on the phone to protect the chamfered edges and the rest of the edge of the phone. How many people are using just the sector 5 on the iphone without the rash guard or another type of skin around the edge? Have you taked the case off to see if the phone has been scratched or damaged by the case? I know there is felt in there to prevent this but it doesn't mean it won't happen and I'm a little to paranoid to try without the rash guards which I think takes away from the style of the case. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
Can you post pics of the wear? What type of use do you subject the case to that is wearing it down so quickly?
I've had the case for a couple of days now and I love it. Is it expensive and outlandish? Yes. Is it an awesome quality bumper with great look and feel? Yes. The construction feels rock solid and I actually like the way the phone feels in my hand vs. no case. It adds just the slightest amount of weight which I actually like as well.
I got the First Edition Sector 5 which comes with rash guards in black and silver. I went a day or so without the rash guards and saw no sign of scratching - but again I had the case on for only a short time. I did end up deciding to put the rash guard on just to be safe. The black rash guard is very subtle and unless you're staring straight into the sides to see the buttons you can't really tell they are there. I don't think it takes away from the look at all.

Got mine installed.
Aluminium button first, hinge method for Glas.tr in steamy bathroom
Misaligned to bottom left, the steam cause the cello tape to lose it stickiness.
Rashguard installed, just wonder why there isn't the piece for bottom part, it should had include.
Really hard to remove the link, after I installed I want to remove to adjust the rash guard, while i remove the link i remove part of the backshield too.
post a teaser more to come tomorrow, it's 6am here.

Iam planning on selling my Sector 5 First Edition. Its new without scratches etc.
The thing is, why am I doing this? Its because the headphone jacket for my new pair of M50 headphones are not compatible with these.
Iam really sad I have to do this but I actually prefer music, alot.

Have you considered a short male to female headphone extension cable? For example: Switcheasy provides them with some of their cases for this exact purpose. They are small enough to fit the Sector 5 case. Try a google search for something similar.
Actually I have thought of this but that only makes the whole thing longer - again - its long as it is. But sure, I could reconsider.
Are you sure theres no audio quality loss?
It will only add 3 inches and no, there shouldn't be any loss.
Try something like this : http://www.radtech.us/Products/procable-shortz-audio-extender.aspx
Looks like im keeping the Sector 5.
Im going to sell the m50s due to bulkyness outside.
I look like a freaking goofer outside with them.
