Well, after about 10 months of service, I'm seeing cracks in the case where the carbon fiber insert attaches to the rest of the case. It is like a seam that is coming loose. I'm pretty disappointed that a $50 case is falling apart like this, especially when you could go through two of the Apple cases for that amount. I submitted a ticket with Element to see if they can do anything...not sure if they have a very long warranty or not. Just really disappointed, after reading the reviews of the iPhone 5 version of the cases. It appears this is a common problem after reading some of the most recent reviews of the iPhone 6 version.
Update 12/09/2014:
I received the replacement. It does seem like a better fit than the first one, and am really glad to have this case back on, over my Spigen. The buttons don't make the same squeaking sound when you press them now.
I would rate this 4.5 stars, if I could but I can't, so have to rate it 4 stars, only because the headphone port is not really accessible with any type of headphone connector (I've tried Apple and Bose). It is accessible only if you either remove the case, or deform the case to slide it in. I would be concerned with deforming the case, as it would probably eventually lead to weakening the TPU near the headphone port. I understand why it's partially blocked, because the port is so close to the screen, they couldn't really do anything about it, except to make the case thicker on the bezel side, which I wouldn't want either.
Overall, I am really impressed by this case, and would not hesitate to buy it again.
Original Review:
I've eyed Element's cases ever since I had an iPhone 4S, but eventually decided a metal case was not what I wanted. When the iPhone 5 came out, I saw that Element decided to try a TPU case, and it seemed like it was a hit. I ended up keeping that 4S for 3 years, so it wasn't until now, with an iPhone 6, that I was in the case market again.
Since these weren't available right when the iPhone 6 first came out, I decided on a Spigen Slim Armor case, at least, until this one came out. That case has served me well, but I wanted something better.
I saw that the Element Ion 6 had been released, and initial reviews weren't too good, talking about fitment issues. I held off for a few more weeks, and then there seemed to be news that Element had fixed these issues, so I decided to buy one. I got it several days ago, and after the first day, I was disappointed in the fitment, and had wondered if I possibly had one of the original batch of cases. I contacted Element, and they confirmed an issue with fitment on the first few that were made, but could not confirm mine was one of them by serial number or purchase date, so off it went back to Element.
I'm currently waiting to receive the new case, as it took several days to return.
My issues with fitment were with the buttons on the sides of the case. Especially the volume buttons. When you need to press one of them, it seemed like it took a while for the case buttons to engage the iPhone's buttons, and during this amount of travel, the sides of the case would squeak and slide up the curved part of the screen.
Is this a deal breaker? Well, maybe not, but for a TPU case (with carbon fiber panel), I think the average consumer expects it to fit better than a Spigen case, which in my opinion, it did not. The overall quality of the Element Ion 6 though, is outstanding. You can tell it is a premium product. Honestly, I didn't expect the TPU to feel quite like it does on the Element, it has a nice solid feel, with just the right amount of grip, quite different from the soft TPU on the Spigen cases. The texture is really nice, and I love the outside shape of the case.
All that said, I hope that I come back with an update that changes this from a 3* to a 5* review, pending the results of the replacement case.
