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 Sector 5 Replica iPhone 5 Bumper Sells For Under $40

Element Case's $140 premium aluminum machined Sector 5 bumper for the iPhone 5 has found itself in the hands of the Chinese knock-off case mafia. If you've always wanted to grab yourself a Sector 5 but couldn't bare the thought of dropping down a cool $140, this Sector 5 Aviation aluminum bumper replica is nearly an exact copy that now sells for just under $40; and it features the same Multi-Link functional design for one screw installation. And best of all, it's available in multiple color options.

Don't expect the Sector 5 knock-off to have the same superb fit and finish as the original one, but mind you the price is without a doubt right. By the looks of it, the Sector 5 Aviation replica does not come with a suede back plate to protect the back side of your iPhone 5.

Element Case Debuts Sector 5 Aluminum iPhone 5 Bumper Case

Element Case has secretly announced its latest addition to its iPhone metal case lineup called the Sector 5. This is Element Case's most extreme and over-engineered machined aluminum bumper case yet that features a radical new design. The Sector 5's CNC trussed design is extremely rigid yet lightweight. For the first time, the Sector 5 utilizes a unique multi-link fastening and modular system that claims to enable users to quickly install and remove the case off of their phone using just one screw, while the interesting modular construction will allow for future add-ons and upgrade accessories.

The Sector's anodized aluminum is finished off using Element Case's brilliant matte Flux coating in a gun metal grey color. The Sector case will not interfere with the iPhone's reception thanks to its plastic RF bridge insert. It'll include two black and grey Ultrasuede back plate skins and a transit kit. Element Case's new Sector 5 case is available for $140.
