Agree that the "gap" is VERY minor. No complaint.

---------- Post added at 12:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:09 PM ----------

I have the Rhino with the Gold Phone and Intelliguard TGSP. It is a perfect solution for me. I disagree with those that feel it is "loose". The phone is so long. that some looseness on the sides is necessary or it would be impossible to take it on/off. However, the reality is that the looseness is not even apparent unless you pull on the sides. On the contrary, in the normal mode of holding the phone, you are pressing the sides of the protector inward towards the phone. I'm not disputing the feelings of those who find it an issue. But, for me, it's' an attractive and effective case.

[MENTION=5579400]RockwellB1[/MENTION]: Are you still using the Rhino with the clear Sinomi rear? I have the Rhino and am looking for clear scratch protection for the rear. Will this work?

[MENTION=260923]ANyOne[/MENTION]: Is there anything else that is clear protection for the rear while using a bumper, or is Skinomi the only option?
[Nexus 6P Accessories] zjhehe:
that my current issue, the loosen thingy, really bothers me, but as discuss over email, their said its normal, meant to be that way. tried to argue, but nothing can do, the best way return the item then they refund or other way if want to replace with others unit, u must send the unit back n their teams inspect 1st before decide replace or not, 1 thing that im piss off, u have to fork out another shipping cost for send it over there n another shipping cost to send to u, really.. irritating. but as i said nothing can do..[/QUOTE]

Yeah I guess I fell for the hypeness. I can understand that the sides stretchwhen you pull on it, but the fact that it's not a tight fit is a bit of a buzz kill. Too bad they didn't make a transparent back attached to the bumper they specialize in. I think I'm just going to stick with my Spigen Ultra Hybrid for now. Pretty disappointed in spending almost 4 times more on the Crash Guard than my Spigen. Sometimes cheaper is better I guess.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] mimitran:
Yeah the gap is very small but it's still a gap so dust gets stuck in between there. I might just go for the Nillkin H+ PRO or wait until the intelliarmor pro comes out.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] RockwellB1:
I'm still using it, no complaints yet. I've removed the Rhino a few times and put it back on, the Skinomi is still holding tight. No peeling or puckering caused by the Rhino.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] l_stevens:
How close does it look to naked with the skin on?
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Unknownkj:
I just got the rhinoshield for a week and I love it. Just got to take care of the back to avoid being scratched. Was thinking of getting some dbrands skin for the back.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] musz:
yeah nice combination rhinoshield bumper with dbrand skin ?

---------- Post added at 10:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:38 PM ----------

dont take the nillkin, i already tried. it will lift off on the corners.. if u put covers
[Nexus 6P Accessories] l_stevens:
I've had the Rhino/Intelliguard Max Coverage for while now. Just inspected the edges carefully; no dust.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] mimitran:
Maybe I have an older version then. I got it right when they started shipping them.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] RockwellB1:
If you look at the pics I posted a few pages back you can see for yourself how it looks with the Skinomi applied. I like it, adds some grip to the back of the phone and really isn't too noticeable.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] klaydze:
Guys, What would be the best bumper color for Nexus 6P Gold? Black or White? Planning to order but not yet decided on what color to order.

Thanks
[Nexus 6P Accessories] l_stevens:
Can't tell you what is "best", but I have the white, and couldn't be happier how it looks in my shirt pocket.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] mimitran:
If you wear a lot of jeans and usually put it in your pocket, then you might reconsider the white one. I've heard that the white kind of discolors after a while. But I believe you can go on rhinoshield's website to find out how to clean it if you really like the white one.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] LuckyDragan:
TBH not being able to use a magnetic mount is one of the main reasons the Crash Guard isn't my daily driver. I don't want to stick a magnetic pad straight onto the naked rear of the 6P because that just ruins the aesthetic. If I wanted to run with the Crash Guard on a regular basis, I'd have to look into an alternative mounting solution for the phone.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] dlads:
I just got my rhino bumper ( black for graphite) delivered, and I have to say I think its a superb case, very subtle for what its supposed to do. Delivered in under a week to the UK. $30 all in.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] l_stevens:
In the "Naked Phone" thread, someone reported that the middle/center rear of the phone will touch the surface while the phone is placed down on its back. Is that the case?
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Solutions Etcetera:
No. Not even close!
[Nexus 6P Accessories] l_stevens:
I figured out what he means. While the rear side edges of the Rhino are higher than the rear side (tapered) edges of the 6P, the 6P is thicker in the middle than @ the edges. So, the center of the 6P IS about the same height as the rear sides of the Rhino case. If you place a ruler side-to-side across the rear of a 6P with a Rhino on, the ruler WILL touch the center back of the 6P.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] frigidazzi:
I have the problem with the Jack being too small too. Does anyone have a suggestion of an adapter that's tiny and would fix this? I usually use BT headphones, but sometimes if I'm on a plane or something where I'm stationary I like my giant headphones, which all seem to have slightly larger plugs and wrong for with the bumper on. :(.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] mrflashman:
I was planning on going naked with my frost N6P but decided to get a case for two reasons: the phone kept slipping out my hands and I kept hitting the power button and volume buttons by mistake. After agonizing for days over which case, I decided to get my first bumper and went with the black bumper and screen protector.

They came in the mail today and I'm really liking the bumper so far. I like the that power/volume buttons require more pressure to push as I kept hitting them by mistake. I was worried after reading some reviews that the buttons would be too stiff but I'm not finding that to be a problem. For me, the amount of pressure needed is the same as with other cases I've used in the past. The bumper is grippy enough the phone is not slipping out of my hand anymore and I love that I can still see the frost back. So I feel like the bumper solved my two main problems. I have not had any of the issues others have had with the sides flexing out, it looks to me like I have a perfect fit.

Jury is still out on the screen protector for me. I've never used one and not sure if I like how it feels. But I'm going to give it a week and see how it goes. Also worried about it being a fingerprint magnet.

Anyway, very happy with the bumper so far. No buyer's remorse yet!
[Nexus 6P Accessories] dlads:
That would be me and that's true, to a degree

---------- Post added at 09:35 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:34 AM ----------

Please look again, just don't pull it too hard (or it'll scratch) you'll find that there is not 100% clearance on the back, the very centre of the phone does slightly clear the bumper, it's a flaw if ever i saw one.

---------- Post added at 09:43 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:36 AM ----------

Yes thats what i meant, I held the device in my hand (back facing away) and then slid the device along the edge of my amplifier (flat surface vs flat surface) and heard a metal on metal scratch, luckily it didn't scratch, it's not the whole case that allows this to happen, being sat on it's back side is fine, it's just the middle of the case when applied to an equal surface (i don't mean a corner btw) and in all fairness is hasn't hindered the case in doing it's job i'm just really weary now that it's possible for it to take a hit if it's being pulled from a surface, probably won't happen but a mm wouldn't have hurt to add to the back of the case.

Noticed two other things, the buttons aren't as responsive as they were on my ringke, again not the end of the world and they will soften and the case itself is not as snug as i'd have liked it to be, I used tech 21's bumper on an iphone 6 i had and it was really tight almost hard to remove, with this it's slightly loose, having the phone facing you and pulling on both edges you'll see it comes away quite easily, still won't come away completely but again something i'd have looked at during the development of this case.

All in all i still wouldn't change the case for anything else i've seen, these are just niggles and something i'd have changed given the chance.

Still a worthy buy, keeping aesthetics without sacrificing too much. :)

As someone has already said [MENTION=2254004]musz[/MENTION] , Dbrand do some decent skins for the back so it needn't be a worry.

https://dbrand.com/shop/nexus-6p only $9.95 which is like £7
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Roscopcoletrain:
I tried the ruler thing and my phone doesnt touch. There is a small gap between the middle of the phone and the ruler. I tried it with the phone laying face down, and with the phone face up.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] dlads:
Hold your phone in your hand with the phone facing away, then imagine you're trying to wipe off something from the back of your phone onto an even surface facing onto a 90 degree angle, place the bottom of your device against the surface (edge of object vs flat surface of your phone) then slide the phone down it, your phone will make contact with the edge of that object.

I'm not making this up lol, my phone is unscratched, unbent and my case is brand new, i'm using the graphite device if that makes any difference.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Roscopcoletrain:
no matter how I try It, mine doesnt touch. Unless its some method Im not understanding. :confused: As long as its hitting the side/bumper, its not touching my phone.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] l_stevens:
I THINK his method is only true if the surface that you are touching with the rear of the case/phone is ONLY making contact with the sides of the bumper (and NOT with the top/bottom which are thicker). (e.g. if you swiped the phone side to side in a narrow wooden board). But NOT applicable when the phone is placed down on a table with all surfaces of the rear case making contact with the table surface. [MENTION=2880355]dladz[/MENTION], you agree?
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Roscopcoletrain:
I tried with the ruler running up and down and side to side..made no difference. :confused:
[Nexus 6P Accessories] l_stevens:
The side lips/edges on the rear of the Rhino are MUCH lower than the top/bottom lips/edges. In addition, the 6P is MUCH thicker at the center than at the edges. If you put a ruler across the side edges of the rear (horizontally) with the Rhino on, the center of the 6P WILL touch the ruler, because the height of the rear edges of the Rhino case are <= the center thickness of the phone.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Roscopcoletrain:
except its not on mine. I'll try and get a picture of it.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] l_stevens:
Please do! Maybe they have more than one version! :confused:
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Roscopcoletrain:
Let's see if this works. Different parts along the back.

https://imgur.com/a/wDVeT
[Nexus 6P Accessories] dlads:
looks like I'm going to have to do a video as this seems to be impossible to explain.

I'm going bed now but will do one in the morning.

the back is clearly not covered on my phone, if my case is defective the that's the problem I just didn't think it was. phone is also not bent.

take your phone and slide the back with both edges of the rhino making contact to a surface, let's the edge of a shelf, not the corner, the edge. the phone will make contact.

lol never thought something so simple would be so hard to explain, I sort of want someone to say oh yea it does happen, so i don't sound mental.

---------- Post added at 11:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:54 PM ----------

that is correct
[Nexus 6P Accessories] resynx:
It does happen, noticed it a few weeks ago. It'd be nice if it didn't, but it doesn't really bother me.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] dlads:
:) Cheers.

Nah i know it's not bothering me, i just wanted to give it a mention.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Tsukihi:
Anyone have the screen protector and give me an idea on how it looks?

Don't know if I should include in order with my bumper because last time I got a screen protector from my phone, it lowered the clarity (gave it a kind of grainy/oily? look).

Also wanna know if there's a grippy rubbery feeling to the screen when using it.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] DxTcmix:
Thank you, yea its a awesome combination. I really like it, sofar no issues with staining !!
[Nexus 6P Accessories] tennisshoeninja:
I've got my dbrand skin and rhino shield and every time I pick it up I can feel some give on both sides of the case. Is yours the same?
[Nexus 6P Accessories] zjhehe:
Yep, I was disappointed by the wiggle room of the bumper and switched back to my Spigen Ultra Hybrid case.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] tennisshoeninja:
Disappointed as well :/ going back to ultra hybrid as well.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] mexiking713:
I received mine a couple of days ago. From reading the comments I was worried about the sides stretching too much. Now that I've been using it I love it. The sides do have some wiggle room but only if you pull on them. I don't notice it at all then I'm using it. I have a skinomi transparent skin in the back to protect and help with the grip.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] bkrickles:
It's been at least 6 weeks with the bumper and I haven't used anything else, and I have 2 spigen cases sitting in a drawer.

I've taken it off maybe 4 times to give the phone a good cleaning but, other than that, haven't removed it.

I love it for all the same reasons I've stated previously and don't see myself changing my mind.

Anyone on the fence just jump on it.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] tennisshoeninja:
Glad you liked it!
[Nexus 6P Accessories] dlads:
With the sides. Just get some d brand edges.. It'll give it a little extra width which should allow it to be more snug.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Brady0123:
Too expensive for me.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] dlads:
$24.99 that's average isn't it? Samsung cases are about £40+
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Brady0123:
:good:you are right
[Nexus 6P Accessories] heltahskeltah:
Are there any UK retailers or resellers for this case
[Nexus 6P Accessories] dlads:
They ship to the UK, not sure if there is anyone here who sells it. Would probably be more expensive if there were and to find it for the Nexus 6P would be difficult as even though it's a great phone. It's not the most popular. I'd say ship it and save yourself some time.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] cattel:
Mine just arrived today! They are AWESOME, but feel a little bit loose on sides!
[Nexus 6P Accessories] dlads:
I've dropped mine several times now they don't pop out. Still waiting on my dbrand to turn up, been waiting since the 7th.. Shocking service
[Nexus 6P Accessories] cattel:
Your bumper came loose too?? I`m little worried about it! I`m wainting for my dbrand for almost 1 month already :(.... Very sad about their service...
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Solutions Etcetera:
He's dropped his phone several times, and it is still in one piece. What are you worried about again?
[Nexus 6P Accessories] cattel:
idk haha, maybe I was expecting just a little big more about the fit on the phone :P, but I will give it a try
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Brady0123:
I have tried a special package and a high quality protector from iPely . I like it,feel good and it protects my phone well.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] dlads:
It didn't come loose, it's just the way it is.

Like i said though it doesn't really matter, it stays on the device.

The only problem i have is the clearance on the back isn't 100%, drag your phone against a flat surface on the back, the device will make contact.

Spoke about this a while back, hence the need for dbrand skins.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] mrruin:
I can confirm this. If the raised top or bottom portion of the bumper isn't making contact with the surface the back of the phone will touch said surface (draging the phone over an edge for example). Not too worried about this, I like the bumper as it is. With a dbrand skin attached (like I have) this issue is more apprent even, since it adds a tiny bit of extra thickness to the middle of the phone.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] dlads:
Still waiting for mine. It's been over three weeks. They're taking liberties now.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] IIEtCII:
Does the bumper protect the camera glass / visor thing ?

If the videos on YouTube are true I'll order this ASAP
[Nexus 6P Accessories] dlads:
Pretty much yea, there's a large lift around the camera, obviously a sharp edge and it's game over. I've had no such issues.. It's a really tough case.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] IIEtCII:
Unfortunately they don't ship to my country .. Does anyone know a seller that ships international ?
[Nexus 6P Accessories] zjhehe:
Anybody use a BestSkinsEver wrap for the Nexus 6P. I wonder if you apply the side protection strips, does this fill in the thickness so that the CrashGuard is no longer "loose".
[Nexus 6P Accessories] sahively:
Have had mine on for a month and love it. Protects all parts, no part of the phone touches the resting surface when placed on back or front. I managed to foolishly drop it about 4 feet onto concrete already and the phone is fine. Paired it with a tempered glass shield and couldn't be happier.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] mrruin:
same here, very happy with the purchase. Dbrand skin on the back and I actually like the big lip the bumper adds to the phone. It improves grip a lot this way.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Ok_Kaleidoscope5109:
It's unfortunate how loose and squeaky this case sounds and in addition to that how bad the buttons are.

I do like being able to show the back of my phone though. Too bad there aren't other bumper solutions worth looking at :(
[Nexus 6P Accessories] cattel:
I`ve found them just too loose on both sides! Really sad about this issue! Maybe regret buying it!
[Nexus 6P Accessories] gqukyo:
Those who are looking into buying one of these, there's currently a coupon on Amazon that will give you 2 for the price of one w/ a minor discount of $2.50 for the one you actually do have to pay for. The details stated you can choose any color combo but that didn't work for me. The coupon only applied when I used the Add both to cart button which is the blue and red ones. I may actually sell one of them say for $20 shipped to cover the one I do end up keeping... Lol
[Nexus 6P Accessories] treezy26:
Could you please elaborate on how to do this? I'm not understanding how to do this. Thanks.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] gqukyo:
Search for Rhino shield on the amazon site, scroll down and click on the add both to cart button.

Looks like the free case is always going to be the blue version or the black version if you choose blue as your primary selection.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] treezy26:
Yea that is kinda wack. I don't want blue lol. I'm gonna keep trying and see what I can come up with. :fingers-crossed:

It keeps wanting to give me the blue one no matter which color I choose lol. Nobody must not want the blue ones that they have to give them away lol
[Nexus 6P Accessories] gqukyo:
Yup, that's what I'm thinking, they have an overstock of the blues.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] bamfsig45:
My order shows 1 blue, 1 black.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] gqukyo:
Yup, the combo deal will always give a blue out. If you picked blue as your primary then you'll get a black. I wanted black and red.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] mrruin:
After a few weeks of use this is still an excellent case. The wiggle room is there but it has zero impact on how this bumper performs. It sits very tight on the top and bottom sides of the phone, but maybe the fit is improved using a Dbrand skin on the sides which is what I am using.

However what I like the most about this bumper is how much it improves the handling of the phone itself. Since there is no backplate the lip of the bumper on both sides of the phone is like a small handle and it really helps a lot when you pull your 6p out of your pockets or bags or when you just hold it in your hands reading something. I tend to hold it with my thumb over the lower speaker in portrait which is a really comfortable position to hold the phone in and with the bumper there is no fear of the phone slipping out of my hands.

This - along with the protection - is the biggest reason why this bumper is on my 6p and the Ringke Fusion and Spigen Hybrid are gathering dust in my drawer.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] l_stevens:
I agree. The "loosness" that others have mentioned is not an issue (for me) because my hands are always holding the case/phone by the sides anyway. And, if it were tighter, it would be difficult/impossible to remove.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] l_stevens:
Recently paired the Rhino with a "Best Skins Ever" Body (rear) protector in matte. Great fit, easy application, barely can tell it's there.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] gqukyo:
I don't like the sides being loose so I'm going to return both of mine. The red color doesn't look good either. It's more of an orange red, at least to me. I didn't think I'd like the blue color but it's actually very decent, especially compared to the red. Never had the black which would've been my second choice.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] bigdave79:
I've been on the fence about this bumper for a while but decided that the amazon 2 for 1 offer was too good to pass up.

I also have the Verus case, Spigen rugged, Ringke fusion and diztronic voyeur. My first impressions are in line with what other people have said. This bumper definitely has the hardest button press of the lot. It's also wider than most of the others making the device feel a tad larger in the hand and making one hand use a bit harder, especially because the sides don't have as much grip as the other cases. The sides are very easy to pull away from the device but I don't really see that as an issue. Having said all that I love how the back of the device looks and feels without the case (I have the white CF dbrand skin on right now). Going to continue using this for now.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] c_brown93:
Yeah for anyone interested Amazon has it buy one get one free right now. Paid $22 for 2 of them with free same day shipping ?
[Nexus 6P Accessories] gehx:
how do u get them bogo on amazon??
[Nexus 6P Accessories] c_brown93:
Click "Add both to cart" on product page. And when you go to final checkout it does the discounts ?
[Nexus 6P Accessories] gqukyo:
Just do note that you will always get a blue one no matter what your primary color is. If you selected blue then you'll get a black one.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] gehx:
so if i order a blue and a red you're saying they'll ship a black instead of a blue?
[Nexus 6P Accessories] gqukyo:
You won't get the deal unless you use the button to add the combo. When I tried to get a red and black, it only discounted it by $2.50. You can try and report back.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] gehx:
seemed to work fine; ordered red and blue. bogo.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] gqukyo:
Uh yeah cuz you ordered a blue one. That's the free version they're giving out unless you select blue first, then you get a black version with it. I wanted a red and black but the combo deal didn't work for that combo.

---------- Post added at 10:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:06 PM ----------

Oh yeah, I got refund after I returned them and they credited me evenly for each so if you want to game the system, you can probably return just one and get back half of what you originally paid. I'm not 100% sure so try at your risk.
