I tried it just now to test it and it still works so that makes the Rally $33.96
Or works on a multiple case order or buying other cases from thier site
The Enigma case buttons are machined aluminum very tactile
I am thinking of getting these cases....They look to be high quality
Thanks....Is this considered a good case as in fitment and drop protection? Oh what does the inside of the Rally case look like?[/QUOTE]
These are both very good quality cases. Element Case makes some if, if not THE, best fitting cases. The Rally fits great and feels pretty good. I would recommend this as it is one of the better cases I have gotten for the price. Drop protection seems like it would be excellent.
Will update my opinion on the Enigma tomorrow after I put it on.
Thanks for the info....do you have a pic of the inside of the Rally case? I want to order one but I would like to see what the inside looks like

Got my Lifeproof fre in. It’s a nice case, and typical to the Fre line. The screen is still not flush. Since it cost me little, I’m going to hold onto it as a back up/vacation case
yeah its not real leather but it actually feels good.i would suggest not using it all around though since the protection is very minimal.

Used my Sheath today. I felt like I was going to drop my phone all day and I couldn’t reach anything one handed. I particularly noticed this when using FaceTime. Back in the loopy.
Idk. I haven’t even received the new on yet. This is for the 7 plus so it doesn’t fit that well.
I’m feeling good about a loopy that doesn’t fit. So hopefully I’ll feel even better about the right one. I do have a bad track record though so we will see.
I have the black with black loop. I also have a white glow in the dark loop (haven’t tested yet). As part of Black Friday, I also have a white Christmas one for free.
I wasn’t sure if the carbon is printed or it’s real carbon..
Edit: Looking at the Loopy Cases website. They put in the picture of the Carbon design a note that this isn't real Carbon Fiber. I missed that when looking at this on the phone.

I’ve been using Kent Airframe+ since iPhone 6 Plus.

Edit: Here's some pictures of my phone in the Loopy Case Max and my Kenu Airframe Plus mount. There's just enough space between the top of the loop and the volume down button. I just tried it in the parking lot and it looks pretty much the same attached as when I use my other cases. I don't expect the mount to fall off. For reference, I have no problems with the Airframe and my Prius' vents.

I got my Element Enigma black case! It's pretty badass! However, I can confirm it comes with a speed wrench and you have to undo the screws to get the front bezel off to put the phone in the case. I also got my Black Element rally case. Ill post pictures soon once I get access to a second camera. It reminds me of the slippery suit with better buttons and crazy light weight

Going to try and answer the several questions that were asked about my Element Case Enigma. Additional pictures are below.
First of all the Rally is excellent overall. Fitment is perfect, it feels solid, and is very light.
Put the Enigma on last night and love it so far. To install, you unscrew the top aluminium part, set the phone inside the bottom case, and screw the top section back on. I actually prefer this method from EC as it makes me confident the phone will not slip out and it allows them to make sturdier cases (that don’t have to be flexible to get the phone in). The size is essentially exactly that of an iPhone 8 Plus, but twice as thick.
I wasn’t sure how I would like the different materials, but I see now this is very good. The aluminium front section is a beautiful blue and just looks so sharp. The TPU (or whatever the side/bottom is made of), is rock solid, has pretty decent grip (far better than aluminium alone) and feels great. The leather back also looks sharp and gives a soft, premium feel when you are holding the case. It would put it on the level of the Apple Leather Case in feel, but with more texture which improves grip.
Fitment on the Enigma is perfect. The bottons (also aluminium) click perfectly (and is IMO one of the things that really sets EC apart). The interior buttons have a felt material on them (something previous EC cases didn’t) so I have no worries about the phone buttons being scratched. My case also has zero button play. When I was first installing, I was a little worried about my iCarez 2.5 screen protector interfering in the front cover, but it ended up having no effect and it works perfectly with this case.
Overall, I am very impressed. This is my favorite case since the Sector series for the iPhone 5. Well worth the $100 price tag, which was made even better for me by the free Rally.
