Got mine yesterday, buttons are stiff and it is loose fit on both sides, I have contacted them but they keep telling me that is how a bumper should fit the phone, going back to my slim Spigen. Waste of money!

[Nexus 6P Accessories] Gorgtech:
A bumper should be easy to mount, that´s true. How much force did you use in your video ? If all sides are loose, I would be worried about ever dropping the phone. The phone might jump out of the bumper ? I´m not a huge fan of bumpers and prefer regular cases which also cover the back of the phone. My Spigen Rugged Armor is easy to mount and doesn´t bend that much if you apply barely any force. At least I´m confident that if you ever drop the phone with this case, it won´t jump out of it.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] RockwellB1:
Looks normal to me. No real way around it without making the bumper thicker or out of heavier material. Considering the protection this one offers, and how thin it is, a little bit of flex is acceptable imo. It's no where close to being loose enough to allow the phone to fall out. Quite the opposite, it takes a good amount of force to remove the bumper in my experience from when I swapped my screen protectors.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] yozpalang:
nowhere did I say that the phone is going to fall out. but when you hold it, you can feel that the case doesn't sit on the sides of the phone, and and there is gap between them.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] ctrekd:
I have had mine for a few days and don't really notice the loose sides when i am holding the phone. I tried to do the same thing you did in the video and mine does not come off the phone.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] l_stevens:
Wow, that video looks looser than I thought. Maybe Rhino could chime in here with reasons why it's intentionally (if so) that loose.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] mimitran:
I would imagine it would be hard to put the phone in the bumper and take it out of the bumper if they made the it any tighter. The material isn't flexible TPU like Diztronic or the Spigen Rugged Armor.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Gorgtech:
It´s not made out of TPU ? I sure hope that the material is stable though and won´t stretch. I remember the Otterbox with this "rubber issue" while I still had one of these. The rubber used to become very soft and loose too. This is why I rather prefer TPU since at least this material seems to remain stable.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] mimitran:
I'm not sure what the bumper is made out of specifically but it isn't AS flexible as cases like Diztronic.

The question is better suited for [MENTION=7238844]RhinoShieldEvolutiveLabs[/MENTION].
[Nexus 6P Accessories] pushlatency:
Mine, in dark blue, is also loose on the sides if pulled. However it feels pretty stiff and secure with no noticeable gap when handling it for every day usage (i.e. not yanking at it because I'm a perfectionist for these things). I'm finding that the power button has gotten a little softer (good) and overall its pretty nice to handle.

I'm not blown away, but I think it's best case I have (other being the Spigen Neo Hybrid) and will probably be using it for a while.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Revoked:
Just arrived

Ordered the Crash Guard on February 2nd, just got delivered (Netherlands).

White Crash Guard on Nexus 6P Graphite.

Looks Great

Minimal stretch on the sides (Seems normal to me)

Power button is fairly sturdy, but no problem whatsoever pressing it or using the camera double click

Bit wider, but still getting used to Nexus 6P width anyway

Way slimmer than I originally thought

Needless to say, happy customer.

Pre ordered a black and a white Bumper on December 4. Shipped on January 28. from France and it stays since February 2. somewhere here in Germany. This is very disappointing.

[MENTION=7238844]RhinoShieldEvolutiveLabs[/MENTION] will I get my Bumpers still this year?

EDIT

Ignore my post, got it today.

So I went to Evolutive Labs website to look at the white or black bumper and the site doesn't exist anymore. Did they go out of business without saying anything?

Also I'll sell my blue bumper if anyone wants it. PM me if you're interested.

[Nexus 6P Accessories] resynx:
It's working fine now.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] SAL8116:
FYI Slickwraps natural series does NOT fit with the bumper. I just learned that. The bumper is trying to pry up the skin in several spots.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Roscopcoletrain:
That's disappointing. Really wanted to run that combo.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] SAL8116:
Yeah it is.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Roscopcoletrain:
Perhaps trimming will work.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Anastacio_Guerrero:
Had my case for a couple days now and I'm actually liking it a lot. Here's some picks of my setup, http://imgur.com/gallery/d6G7b

[Nexus 6P Accessories] Momotani-Hitoshi:
Surprised not many other manufacturers do bumper style cases.

Thanks
[Nexus 6P Accessories] itch808:
I've used mine for several days and now and impression is:

+supposed good protection, havent tested

+grippy

+lots of color options

-cant clean with alcohol based wipes based on instructions

-loose fit

-hard to push power button

-volume buttons annoying, hard to presses and trigger the opposite button

-expensive

Summary: I'm NOT liking mine. I had a ringke fusion before and am contemplating about switching back
[Nexus 6P Accessories] SAL8116:
Can't trim the skin as it's attached to the phone.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Momotani-Hitoshi:
In terms of short drops out of your pocket, do you think the spigen ultra hyrid is enough. Rhino is rated at 11ft so prob more than enough. I looked at the small dimple notch in each corner of the spigen. Not sure how that would mitigate much shock. Spigen's iPhone line of cases are military drop tested, but no such advertisement for nexus.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Elnrik:
I had a few small drops - off the desk and out of pocket - and it protected the phone just fine. No drops yet using the rhino shield crash guard thingy.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] frigidazzi:
No alcohol wipes?i wonder why. I have used at least 4a day on it for about a week lol. Fine so far. Work at hospital. Clean stuff a lot.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] imex99:
Off topic but why does everyone use imgur instead of just linking with ur Google photos or Dropbox?
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Momotani-Hitoshi:
I much prefer to view images from imgur than google photo or dropbox. Probably bias preference being a redditor. Plus you can upload a picture without an account.

Rhinoshield Crash Guard Black & White

Some pictures from my new Crash Guard. :o

High quality: https://goo.gl/photos/VVwTc3QxB8rRvsjb6
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Momotani-Hitoshi:
looks nice, I really want the white one to match with my gold 6p, but seems like white discolors easily; at least that is what iPhone owners say.

Guess I'll wait to see how yours turn out in a month when the clear back releases.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] l_stevens:
I have the Gold 6P as well, and am either getting this or a clear.
[MENTION=5565322]Momotani-Hitoshi[/MENTION] what case are you using now?
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Momotani-Hitoshi:
I have the Spigen ultra hybrid which is rated for 4ft drops. Only reason im interested in the rhino is because of the 11ft rating.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] l_stevens:
You have the clear? If so, for how long (worried about yellowing)?

I'm confused about "rated" 4 ft. I thought they didn't certify this one?

Overall, how do you feel about this case? (any other comments/details are appreciated)! :)
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Momotani-Hitoshi:
I've only had it for about 1 week. It might yellow, not too worried since my 6P will be gold so it be less apparent? lol

The spigen ultra hybrid for the iPhone 6s and Samsung galaxy are both rated MIL-STD 810G-516.6 (basically 4ft drop test done 26 times). I'm assuming they are made of the same material and build quality and would likely pass the test but they haven't bothered to test the nexus line yet.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] l_stevens:
I have the gold as well, and generally wear it in my shirt pocket with a pen. I've been sporting it naked, but feel I'm on "borrowed time", as it's already had one lucky fall.

1) Do you think it would still fit in my shirt pocket with a pen in while in this case?

2) Does this case "show off" the phone well (i.e. is it the next best thing to naked)?

3) Overall, how do you like this case?

Much appreciated!
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Momotani-Hitoshi:
Depends how big your shirt pocket is. Fits in mine fine with room to spare for 1-2 pens. The case width is 82mm according to my ruler.

Clear case, next best thing after clear skin protectors or naked for visual appeal. You can look at it for your self http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1XPuNYIFOpk&t=1m34s

Spigen will be my primary case, I could prob go naked since i've only dropped previous N5 once on carpet, but i'm getting maybe a rhino for my gf which drops her phone daily.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] itch808:
Ditto, same here. But the instructions say this specifically.

I can't the loose fit on this damn bumper
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Momotani-Hitoshi:
Maybe the alcohol slow eats or degrades the material away? I had the official google bumper case for the N5 and used alcohol to clean daily in hospital environment. The case slowly peel or began shedding, looks like it got a sunburn.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] bkrickles:
It's 4 or 5 days now and I like it a lot.

I've worn both a dress shirt and a casual shirt with pockets and the phone fits easily and would certainly fit with multiple pens, if needed.

I like the way it shows off the phone and is the closest to being naked. With that in mind, a clear case would show the sides of the phone which are very nice but it would feel like you have a case on. With the bumper, it feels closest to being naked but provides protection.

I love the feel. I like being able to feel the coolness of the aluminum.

I have a dbrand skin that I may put on at some point, but for right now I plan on keeping it as is.

I have the aluminum 6P and purchased the black bumper.

I bet the white will look great with the gold.

Also, the flexibility on the sides is a non factor for me.

If you try to push the sides out, they flex pretty easily, or if you pick up the phone by one side of the bumper, it will probably flex a little.

But, if you pick up the phone normally, you wouldn't even know it could flex so easy.

With that being said, the phone will not come out of the bumper without you wanting it to.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Elnrik:
I've found much the same, and the crash guard bumper has taken my #1 spot as preferred case for my Nexus 6P.

Regarding the flex on the side, I had purchased a SlickWraps skin which came with the top, bottom, and side stickers. I put the top and bottom stickers on - leaving off the side stickers - and it tightened up the flex on the sides just a wee bit. Enough to notice, but not impossible to get the phone in and out of the bumper. :good: :good:

Just a heads up for those that want white, I've had mine for less than a week and its already colored blue from taking it out of my Levi's pocket at the bottom. The white portion is unaffected so far but the grey rubber material is changing rapidly.

These weren't new jeans either, theve been well worn and washed more than enough for color bleeding to be an issue. Not real happy about this as I'm a bit OCD. Not sure why I ever thought the white was a good idea.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Solutions Etcetera:
I've not seen this, bit I rarely wear jeans. I believe Evolutive's suggestion for cleaning stains is a mild diluted solution of chlorine bleach and water.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] treezy26:
For those that use amazon or are a cheapskate like me who uses gift cards...:o They are available on Amazon. Just ordered a black one but they won't be available till Feb. 11th. The blue ones are available though.

Couple more photos for people. I love the case
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Momotani-Hitoshi:
Sooo tempted but there is no white option. But I read the white option is very susceptible to getting discolored or stained requiring bleach soaking to clean.

Maybe I can stain a white version to whatever color I want like yellow to match my gold 6P.

[Nexus 6P Accessories] Franzie3:
yea i think i'm sold. the onyl set back for me was the added thickness and issue with the buttons. but i think it's worth it for what i like. I love my ringke case with the exception of the finger print hole being oversized which lets in dirt/dust/crap and the tpu part of is seems to be yelloing slightly after a few months. I wanted to go with a white bumper but after hearing about the color bleed maybe black is the best option.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] gleung:
does anyone have this with gold 6p? i want to see whats the best looking for the gold one
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Momotani-Hitoshi:
I ordered a white one from amazon. Awaiting to put it on my gold 6p. Though black would looke nice too I guess. But, Ideally I want a gold or yellow color =]
[Nexus 6P Accessories] l_stevens:
I assume that you've read Pilz's review of the Rhino in his case thread. Just wondering how your experiences could be so different. Maybe he got a "bad" one? Or perhaps you've seen the same problems that he did, but found the advantages outweigh it. It seems to me that you are saying that you would prefer it over the Spigen Ultra Hybrid even if they were equal in drop protection? Your comments are appreciated as I'm sure that I'm not the only one torn between these two cases.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] rodriguez236:
Is it hard to take the bumper off? My sister has on for the iphone 6s plus and it is impossible to take off.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] jerflash:
I have been asking them since day one of the phone if they were going to make a silver version. I asked them a few times actually and it was always said we are looking into it. What i want to know is how blue makes sense...its not even a color of the 6p...

I know i could try the white but i have a sweet clear cace on now... besides the site still shows preorder status let see what happens
[Nexus 6P Accessories] -X5-:
Yes it is relatively hard to take off, but not impossible.

Which clear u usin?
[Nexus 6P Accessories] bkrickles:
If you've been reading the entire thread, which I'm sure you have, then you've read my very positive review of this bumper.

Pilz's entire experience from shipping to the actual product sounds underwhelming to say the least, but I think the bumper is a terrific alternative to a traditional case and should be looked at very closely by everyone looking for something a little unique.

The price is higher than some alternatives but what's expensive to one person is reasonable to another. I paid $20 and I'm super satisfied.

I haven't thought of going back to my 2 spigen cases, although I probably will at some point.

I have the thin fit and the rugged armour. I'm interested in the ultra hybrid but I promised myself I wouldn't buy more than 3 cases for this phone. Let's see if I can hold out. Lol.

Anyway, I hope more people who get this bumper get on here and give their opinions.

Good luck
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Solutions Etcetera:
Yeah... And it left me scratching my head. Most of his 'problems' seem subjective. Yes, you can pull the sides of it out, but this has been my experience with all bumpers, especially on a phone with such long sides.

I do not have a problem with the buttons.

I have a white one on aluminum, and really like the way it looks. The fit, finish, and materials seem to me to be higher quality than any TPU case I have had, with just enough grip for my hand, and not my pocket.

But what I find most exciting about the Rhino is the pretty undeniable evidence on how well these protect on drops. I've seen numerous demos from people whose evaluations I trust. While I haven't dropped my phone, I have faith that this will do as good or better job protecting my phone as anything else out there. Which is of course why I bought it.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] treezy26:
Anyone here using the Nillkin H+ Pro TGSP? If so, do you have any issues with the bumper?
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Elnrik:
Pilz wrote a great review, and explains his perspective and opinions very well. Mine differ in the following ways...

Pilz wrote that when he picks up the phone it feels wrong. He also wrote that a bumper should be slim, and this one isn't. I don't get these feelings. I also have not had as much experience with bumpers in the past as Pilz has apparently had. I've almost exclusively used traditional cases from Spigen/Ringke on my last 2 phones. With less bumper experience, perhaps I don't have a predisposed conception of how bumpers should be? Something like that perhaps... I don't know. Anyway - I've found that it is slim at just the right parts where it fits in my hand. The protrusions at top and bottom don't get in the way while I'm holding the phone one handed. It feels much like a slim bumper at these points, where a traditional case like the Spigen Ultra Hybrid is thicker there because of the material that protects the back of the phone. Also, When I go to pull my phone out of my front jeans pocket, the lip at the top and bottom are great grabbing points.

Pilz wrote about the sides being an issue. I've overcome the loose side thing by adding slickwraps skin stickers at the top and bottom - these 'shims' have kept the somewhat loose sides from being an issue. I can still get the phone in and out of the bumper without issue. E.L. might consider tightening up the sides a bit by making the case just a fraction of a cm shorter.

The buttons... that's one point I can agree with Pilz on, if to a lesser extent. I think calling the power button a brick wall is overstating things quite a bit, but it does convey the point that these buttons are stiff. Probably the firmest press of any of the cases I've tested. While I prefer a less stiff button, I have had zero usage issues with the ones on this bumper. I attribute that to the Imprint Sensor and it being the primary method by which I unlock the phone. I do like how the bumper has a recessed area where the buttons are. This makes it so that the buttons don't stick out all that much, but are still easy to find by touch.

I think our contrary opinions concerning this product boil down to differing personal preferences and individual usage. That being said, I'll be up front and honest: I didn't think I was going to like this thing

at all

. In fact, I didn't for the first few days. I was too used to how the Spigen UH felt. I'm glad I gave it a full week to test out. I think the phone looks better without the clear back of the Spigen UH, and I appreciate the protection and appearance of it's design. Now that I'm used to how it feels, and having put the UH back on to compare how it feels, I can say that I prefer the crash guard bumper.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] BigRdub420:
I have the black bumper for my gold 6p but I am returning it cuz I bought the dark blue one cheaper from someone on xda. It did look very good though, I can try to post pictures soon, unless they get me a rma number quickly. I wasn't a fan of the grey color as I was expecting all black but it is similar to the white version with a two tone color scheme, hoping the dark blue will be nice!

Guys so i assume that many people have trouble with pressing buttons. Found so-so solution for that: fold small piece of paper for every button. That should help a little bit, but it is still not a permanent solution
[Nexus 6P Accessories] l_stevens:
Since you're the only one I know of who has (or will have) the gold 6p, spigen ultra hybrid, AND the white rhino, I would appreciate the following observation:

Assuming that the Spigen and Rhino were equally protective (I know they're not), which do you find most visually appealing with the gold 6p and why?

Thanks again for your help.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Momotani-Hitoshi:
I have 6P gold with spigen ultra hybrid with a White rhino on order. I think they both look good but leaning more for the near naked spigen. Spigen will be my daily driver and the rhino will be for my gf due to her dropping phones a lot.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] l_stevens:
Thanks. I'll look 4ward to ur updated/expanded comments after it gets in. When do you expect it?
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Momotani-Hitoshi:
Not sure. Order it yesterday but it isn't shipped. I used super saver shipping so prob another week.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] darkamikaze:
Just wanted to chime and also give my positive vibe for the CrashGuard bumper AND the Rhinoshield screen protector.

The bumper isn't really that big and for me it adds extra grip. The screen protector feels great like I'm still touching the glass. The only downside for me is probably the buttons, you really do need to put in some force. Great buy, I can't recommend it enough.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] l_stevens:
I have read elsewhere that this case is VERY difficult to remove (at least on other phones). Make me worry because some people in the bending thread have indicating the phone might have bent from the force of taking it in/out of a case. Have the Rhino users here found the case difficult to remove?
[Nexus 6P Accessories] jiv101:
No it is not that difficult to remove
[Nexus 6P Accessories] -X5-:

It's not impossible to remove but also not the easiest. I've removed the bumper from my phone more than 10 times already and haven't seen the phone bend.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] l_stevens:
OK, it seem that the consensus is that it's not that difficult to remove from the 6P. Some of the other posts (on other sites) also said that taking it on/off tended to stretch it out. Has anyone experienced that?
[Nexus 6P Accessories] imex99:
No clue, I put a case on and keep it on unless you need to clean it or ur phone breaks!
[Nexus 6P Accessories] bkrickles:
I've taken it on and off several times with no issue.

No stretching either. In fact I just took it off again to give it and my phone a little cleaning. Couldn't have been easier.

Really enjoying the bumper and the buttons have definitely improved over time.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] imex99:
Agreed, love my case!
