Just a warning though, once the Rhinoshield mod case with plate is on, it is fking difficult to remove your phone/case.

Exactly. smile.gif

I’m looking for a reasonably good sp. Read that Hoda is good and found machines selling from $85 onwards. I probably want someone to install for me as my own attempts usually don’t produce good results.

Maxis sells them as well. Got it for RM60+ after their 20% off.

remove the back plate 1st... then only remove the bumper... easier than playproof or others...

Yea that is how I did it, but like I said it is still damn difficult on the iPhone X. Pretty sure it is much easier on the earlier iPhone generations.

the bumper can flex abit ... you try pull it aside then it will open... see video in youtube...

uhhh I did all that including the video, and like i mentioned it is still very tough to pry and yank it out. There is even a chance that the backplate might scratch the iPhone steel frame or the glass back with that much force. There are a number of other reviews which mentioned the same thing.

after see your comment i try open again.... its like 10-15 sec sec job for me to open it, put back about 20 sec (include 5 sec try to fit it to the slot)

my trick is (in details)

1. pull the bumper out 0.5cm or until you slide your finger in so that u can grab the back plate,
2. pull the back plate up at middle, then use another finger to pull up the 'clip' at the edge
3. then remove the whole plate

seems very complicate in wordings, the rule is you must know the bumper is very flexible now... just open the bumper to remove the back plate.. sweat.gif
*
Went back and gave it a go again for my 3rd attempt lol
Had to try a number of different angle and location before I found a easier spot to yank it all out, (easier but it is still not easy) Especially when removing the bumper, I have to pull the side of the bumper close to the corners in order to yank the phone out. Pulling the bumper at the side nearer to the middle makes the bumper corners tighter and even harder to remove the phone with the corners tightening the grip on the phone.

1) I have to press down my phone (Fingers on both back and front) to hold it down to remove the plate & especially removing the bumper a lot of pressure is used. I am a bit worried on how that will affect the OLED panel when doing it often.

I like the feel of the bumper, but the quality of the back plate and the mod itself I am still not convince. Removing it all shouldn't take this much effort.
Plus putting that much pressure on the screen to remove it + plastic back panels possibly scratching the stainless steel side/glass back when removing is also a risk.

I am using the Mod now though, don't really want to keep removing and putting it back. Plus I dropped my phone while using a slimmer case earlier so I am a bit paranoid haha. Was either using this or the UAG, will try this for now.

the moment we drop our phone... we will be happy it is these type of case incase of other case...

not all military standard tested they claimed is same standard,... coz that test is very easy to pass... 4 ft 26 times lol
*
lol not sure about others, but the only ones I trust at the moment is UAG, Otterbox and maybe Rhinoshield (all the drop test reviews look great but still a bit skeptical on a flat back drop. The backplate protrudes slightly and not flushed for the bumper to absorb the initial impact, so if anything the backplate will absorb the impact and the their "locks" at the inner bumper is not really secure to transfer the impact to the bumper. If the impact do not disperse to the bumper, the backplate impact could transfer to the iPhone glass back and potentially crack/or the backplate cracks inwards and cracks the iPhone glass back as well)

Lol I hope it is just me being paranoid, but I hope I don't get to test that theory in my iPhone's lifetime biggrin.gif

dont like bulky case... then only left some little option...

The only option is UAG lol, just a little bulkier than Rhinoshield, but still considered quite slim compared to others.

QUOTE(attw @ Nov 30 2017, 05:47 AM)
Same. I'm even a little skeptical about Spigen's ability to handle drops, ha ha. But I agree - the purpose of the protection is for unforeseen accidents, and not deliberate testings biggrin.gif

lol you don't have to worry la since you change phone every 2 yrs rclxms.gif

*
The new Rhinoshield apparently build quality is now different than the old one.
Using Hoda, but Monofilm is just as good IMO.

I really like the feel/look of the Rhinoshield Carbon Fiber mod, but it is not perfect. The bumper & backplate is slick and slippery.
And the backplate is not perfectly aligned to the bumper.

I do sometimes have the urge to toss my iPhone X around just to play around and test the Rhinoshield protection haha

Has anyone bought Rhinoshield mod case/bumper?

Is it good and protective?

How much does it cost?

It is quite slippery, but should be protective so might not be an issue. Price you can find at their website...

anyone here using rhinoshield mod? need some review  biggrin.gif especially the back part does it protect camera lens when put on flat surface i.e table

Don't get the clear plate. Very very scratch prone. The carbon fiber one is nice, but the fitting is not perfectly aligned to the bumper, a bit of gap at the bottom, top, and side around button areas. Not a very big deal if you don't nitpick.

Bumper is a bit slippery, but it feels nice. The backplate does extend out to protect the camera lens.

The power button isn't as tactile as the volume buttons, but still not that bad. Could be better though.
