Treat Your iPhone 5S With The Solace Case By Element Case

Element Case's latest case, the Solace, is compatible with both the iPhone 5 and iPhone 5S. The Solace combines cues from Element Case's Ronin and the now discontinued Vapor Comp hybrid machined aluminum cases to form an all-new body constructed out of one durable polycarbonate-made chassis featuring CNC machined aluminum top and bottom crowns, as well as integrated control buttons. The Solace case has a sleek and slim profile that is finished off with a metallic matte soft-touch coating creating an enhanced tactile grip.

Like the Ronin, the Solace provides an ergonomic grip thanks to its bowed shape and uses the same four-screw design for installation. Element Case's Solace case for the iPhone 5 and iPhone 5S is available now in satin black, pearl gray metallic, deep blue metallic and Italian red for $80.  

Sector 5 Black Ops Elite, The Ultimate In Tactical iPhone 5 Cases

In case you've missed it, Element Case has made its Sector 5 series of aluminum hybrid iPhone 5 bumper cases even more epic using a new type of back insert designed with an integrated tactical spring metal pocket/belt/money clip, and CNC machined from an ultra durable and grippy G10 material made by Hogue. The Sector 5 Black Ops Elite case is part of a new tactical geared lineup which includes upgrades like knurled G10 side grip detail and an integrated knurled aluminum sleep/wake button. If you thought that was it, there's more. The aluminum is coated for military durability using a type 3 hard-anodized matte military-spec finish (T3). Element Case's Sector 5 Black Ops Elite is available in black and desert tan colors with your choice of a Hogue G10 back plate for a whopping $220.

Customize Your Own Sector 5 With Element Case's Design Studio

Element Case has announced today that customers will finally be able to color customize every part of the company's most extreme and highly industrial machined aluminum iPhone 5 bumper case - the Sector 5, using the user-friendly Design Studio. Pricing starts at $140, and varies based on the types of colors you pick for things like golden screws. Customers who choose to color customize their Sector 5 will find that Element Case was nice enough to throw in a supplemental side grip detail a la Vapor Comp - that fills in the side trussed rail not found on the ready-made Sector 5 for no additional cost.

Here's a white and black Sector 5 we whipped up.

Element Case's Soft-Tec iPhone 5, Galaxy S3 Wallet Case Now Out

Known for its machined aluminum cases, Element Case's new Soft-Tec line of synthetically-made cases for the iPhone 5, Galaxy S3 and the iPad mini are finally available for purchase. We first reported on the Soft-Tec cases back in January where Element Case first debut its new offerings at CES 2013. The company has released a $50 Soft-Tec wallet case for both the iPhone 5 and Galaxy S3 which is made using a new non-slip, grippy rubber material from Element Case called Tech Grip. The supposedly high-tech material is a coating with a matte rubbery finish made to enhance the grip and feel of the case. We've seen a similar material used in the TidyTilt iPhone cover.

Element Case's Soft-Tec case has a slim protective profile with two card slots located on the inner flap. The Soft-Tec wallet case also features a magnetic closure and an embedded snap-on polycarbonate hard shell that can be folded into a horizontal viewing stand much like Twelve South's SurfacePad cover.

We can't help but think about how this case opens almost like an old-school Velcro wallet, with lots of excess flap left to deal with while you're using your device Luckily, there's an earpiece cutout to enable you to talk on the phone whilst the Soft-Tec's flap remains closed. Both Soft-Tec models for Apple's and Samsung's handsets are designed exaclty the same, while Element Case's $65 Soft-Tec case for the iPad mini understandably leaves out the credit card slots. 

Samsung Galaxy S3 Meets The Atom S3 Composite Case

Element Case's first non-iPhone case has finally made its first debut today.

The Atom S3 features an ergonomic and grippable surface with integrated buttons and reinforced corners for additional impact protection. The Atom S3 case for the Samsung Galaxy S3 is available now for $44.95.
