I ordered the bumper for $25 and that came with $5 off on the screen protector, so +20 is $45 USD so I qualified for free shipping, as well as the 15% off, so after tax (12% where I am) I paid a little over $50 CAD which was in my budget. And literally, if the thing is even a third as strong and stable as the advertised impact demonstration in their videos, I am satisfied in my use I will be perfectly safe with this product.

I also expect delivery in less than 5 days based on the tracking/shipping notice.

And I will be sure to post a review next time I get the chance to drop my phone :silly:
[Google Pixel Accessories] RyanTX:
I only see a black one for the pixel on Amazon. I'm looking for a white one.
[Google Pixel Accessories] tjarvis:
Would be nice if they also made an impact shield for the back of the phone. Currently waiting for the crash guard and impact shield to ship.
[Google Pixel Accessories] joshm.1219:
I got mine today, I'll post pics tonight
[Google Pixel Accessories] jerflash:
can you measure accurately how wide it is on the phone? you got it for the pixel right? just want to compare width with the current case i have.
[Google Pixel Accessories] km8j:
Me too. I dont get the value of the bumper over a case
[Google Pixel Accessories] joshm.1219:
Looks like 3 1/8 inches wide on my measuring tape.

I'm not impressed so far. Buttons are really hard to press and stock charger cord doesn't fit.

I like how it looks though, here it is with the Hemp skin from Slickwraps
[Google Pixel Accessories] RyanTX:
Not what we wanted to hear!

---------- Post added at 07:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:39 PM ----------

I prefer a bumper because it doesn't cover the back of the phone. A clear silicone case always gets scratched up. A bumper also doesn't really change the thickness of the phone except around the edges.
[Google Pixel Accessories] joshm.1219:
The silicon on the bottom has stretched enough that I can fit the stock cord but I still have to jam it in there. The buttons could be difficult to press because of the skin, but I doubt it.
[Google Pixel Accessories] km8j:
The edges are what drive the width which is what defines how easy it is to hold one handed
[Google Pixel Accessories] jerflash:
wow that's really wide... is that on the pixel or the pixel xl?

I cannot use it it it really is that wide. My pleson slim tpu case is only 2 7/8 wide on my Pixel and i dropped it from top coat pocket height on concrete twice already...not sure how because is don't usually make a habit of dropping my phones but it does not have a mark on it!
[Google Pixel Accessories] Taebom:
Just got my bumper from Amazon and i'm loving it. Stock charging cord fits with no problem and all the buttons feel great except for the power button, but that will be fine once I break it in for a few days. Combined with their screen protector everything looks perfect.
[Google Pixel Accessories] AddictedToB3er:
Just ordered mine, thanks for the code!
[Google Pixel Accessories] nednednerb:
Installed mine yesterday. Now i don't feel worried when I handle my phone... Good.
[Google Pixel Accessories] Jaxidian:
That's kinda unacceptable with this being as expensive as it is! Jeez
[Google Pixel Accessories] Taebom:
Stock cord fits
[Google Pixel Accessories] joshm.1219:
On yours*

I'm not the only one who had a problem, if you look at the XL thread too.
[Google Pixel Accessories] Fru T Bunn:
Pixel from UK Google store.

FOR ME:

Cons:

Stock cord does not fit

Only accepts slim headphone jacks

Buttons hard to press

White bumper on white phone to me looks rubbish

Pros:

Phone is more grippy and feel less likely to slip out of my hand

Not too much bigger (this is the smaller Pixel remember)

That said I'm going to remove some of the material around the USB-C and headphone ports and keep it.
[Google Pixel Accessories] Taebom:
i ordered mine through amazon so maybe they have an updated version becasue all stock cords fit no problem and my cable creations type c. Don't know about the xl since we're in the pixel forum, but i guess i got lucky :highfive:
[Google Pixel Accessories] joshm.1219:
Yeah I got mine from Amazon too
[Google Pixel Accessories] pipspeak:
Anyone here remember the "official" Nexus 4 bumper? I loved that thing. Does the CrashGuard come close to that? Amazon reviews are pretty bad -- possibly the worst Amazon rating for any Pixel case in fact. I'm particularly worried that several reviewers mention there is actually very little "lip" on the case, which kinda defeats half the purpose of a bumper.
[Google Pixel Accessories] t0mf42:
Think they'll revise the charging/headphone cutouts anytime soon?

[Google Pixel Accessories] tjarvis:
Just got my combo of screen protectors and bumpers. I got one for me and one for the wife. Screen protectors went on easy and while not full coverage I'm satisfied with the fit. My bumper was a serious pain in the butt to get on. Saying it was tight is not giving credit to my efforts. I felt like I was going to break my phone or the case in the process. Then when it did fit, the front overmolded lip in the top corner was folded under the edge of the phone. I had to use a credit card and pry around to get the lip to sit flush. My wife's phone however popped right in. The buttons on both are very difficult to push in. I'm not a weak sissy man but I have to really apply pressure to the buttons for them to respond. All the cut outs seem to be fine for fitting the cords at either end. Both are a bit tight but usable and nothing a dremel couldn't fix. Am I satisfied with my purchase...? It's hard to answer at the moment. I spent $90 on two bumpers and screen protectors. I expect the buttons to work with minimal effort and for cords to plug in with ease, I also don't want to fight with the case during installation or removal. At this point I'm scared to take the phone out because I don't want to deal with the annoyance of taking 20 minutes to put it back on. In short I expected a lot more out of this purchase. Here's to hoping the drop protection is as advertised...
[Google Pixel Accessories] pipspeak:
How is the bumper size-wise? How muck thicker/wider than a regular TPU case, for example, and how deep are the lips on the front and back?
[Google Pixel Accessories] tjarvis:
It's thicker on the top and sides than the spigen rugged Armour by a good bit. I wish they would make it slim on all four sides and just beef up the corners. Maybe the thickness is part of the magic of surviving an 11ft drop, but I would imagine that just bubble corners and a flexible sidewall around it would be fine.

Here's a link to my review of the Rhinoshield bumper for the reggo Pixel. I won't be using the red version of the crashguard I was given for review, and am willing to give it free to anyone who's interested. PM me if you want it, and where to send it. I accept very small PayPal gifts for shipping :)

PM Sent, that's a stand up gesture for the community. Even if it's gone already, thanks for donating one of the cases back!
[Google Pixel Accessories] tjarvis:
Update on the bumper... I have contacted customer service about the button stiffness and size of charging port. It was suggested that I remove the case and fiddle with the buttons with the case removed. It is impossible to remove the bumper without damage to either the phone or the case and I'm sure it will need to be cut off. I informed customer service that the case was too tight and sent in a video of me trying to remove the case. The reply was that I was doing it wrong. I have tried and pryed from every angle to take this thing off and the phone creaks and flexes to the point where further pressure would result in either the phone or the case breaking. I'm getting pissed off about this and the fact that customer service is being condescending suggesting that I'm too stupid to remove a phone case. The fact is that the case was manufactured wrong. I'm not alone in this problem. Buyer beware...

So far I have tried both the the nano and the full version from opengapps.org, but neither works. I am primarly interested in getting the Google App store installed on my phone so that I can have easy access to installing new apps without having to locate .apk files.

Get 15% off RhinoShield, Because Bumpers are Back

​

Phone skins are really great to add style to any phone, plus they’re not expensive, but they provide minimal protection if you happen to drop your phone. On the other end of the spectrum are cases, which are generally more expensive but offer much more protection. Cases are bulky and they don’t let the beauty of your phone show through because they often have to cover all four edges as well as the back of the phone.

​

That’s where CrashGuard by RhinoShield comes in. CrashGuard is essentially a bumper case, which means that it does not cover the back of your phone but only the sides (thus giving your device a more “naked” feel), but because of how it’s engineered, it provides more protection than most cases. CrashGuard is far superior to the bumpers of the past because it has been engineered to absorb impact. This is done by utilizing a proprietary polymer material that is far more shock-absorbent than plastic, and it also has a protective honeycomb structure within the bumper to disperse impact properly. In fact, within the honeycombs are compartments of pressurized air that act as airbags and deflect impact energy. If that sounds really elaborate, it is, and the net result is that you can drop your phone from a variety of heights (up to 11 feet) and if you have a CrashGuard bumper on the phone, you’re going to have a completely unmarked phone. If you want to see how incredible this protection is, watch this video from David Pogue where he does everything in his power to smash his phone by dropping it from a tall ladder.

​

Not only are CrashGuard bumpers durable, but they’re lightweight (with most of their bumpers coming in under 14 grams). They’re also pretty grippy thanks to the matte finish, and they come in a variety of colors. Another thing we really like about the CrashGuard line is the pricing: the Pixel XL is priced at $24.99, and you can pre-order a CrashGuard for the Pixel/Pixel XL.

Use discount code "XDAFTW" for 15% off until November 10, 2016. Check out the RhinoShield store here.

[Google Pixel XL Accessories] Nitemare3219:
This bumper added a lot of widness/tallness on the 6P and I imagine this will be the same. It will probably be manageable due to the Pixel's smaller size (XL included), but still... I'd like to see them make a more minimalistic bumper too.

I just hope this Bumper is better than the crappy one Verizon sold for the Moto Z Force. That thing really was bad. The best bumper ever was the Nexus 4 I think, the all glass Nexus. That bumper was great looking.

I gave a Rhino arriving weds. Amazon has them before Rhinos website does
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] Anastacio_Guerrero:
I can say that this bumper is great, I have it already and it adds very little bulk to the device. I didn't like it in the 6P so much cuz it made it very wide.

You guys should try it in person, it made my 6P horrendously large and hard to hold that I returned it.

I was using a Spigen rugged armor before and the bumper feel so much nicer. It doesn't really make the phone wider and it feel good to touch the glass/metal :P
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] Smallsmx3:
I've seen such mixed reviews on this bumper. Right note I'm using a cheap tpu car and it's ok but I'm looking for something more premium. My wife just dropped and shattered her iPhone today and I'm thinking I need to bump up my protection but I hate bulkiness
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] silentkry:
Yeah, I don't get it. Some are saying maybe it's the first batch that is an issue. I have such a hard time taking the bumper off and I'm even scared that I would damage my phone putting so much force on it just to remove a simple bumper. It's such a shame cause I really like having it on my 6P and it feels real nice on the Pixel except for the tight feel. You can't even put a DBrand skin on it with the bumper cause it'll scrape off the edge.

I've reached out to them to see if there was an issue with the first batch. And if they say no, then I would not recommend them to anyone.
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] IIIPowerIII:
I can confirm its pretty tight.

I tried to remove it and I couldn't. I'm also scared that it will crack my screen from the pressure needed.

Even with the bumper in, I can still use it in my daydream so I won't bother to remove it at all.
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] silentkry:
So, I just decided to buy another one but from Amazon this time, which has mix reviews. This one still has a tight fit but not as bad as the one I pre-ordered from RhinoShield. Their response to me was to make a video and direct me on how I can get it off. Did not feel like putting that one back on because it's just that dam frustrating. Don't know how many people that had issue actually emailed them but I think they should take the review more seriously and actually test it themselves. At this point, I still wouldn't recommend it to anyone. Unless they want to test their luck on getting one that isn't so tight.
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] ithehappy:
Those who are using this bumper, is there any problem with 3.5 mm jack? Heard that its difficult to plug in and out headphones and IEMs, is that true?
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] muzzy996:
Mostly an issue with headphones with a 90 degree connector. My favorite IEM has one and I can't use it with the bumper. I am waiting on some adapters to remedy this but they will negate the benefits of the 90...

Rhinoshield bumper for Pixel XL not a good fit.

I recently ordered a Rhinoshield bumper (V2) for the Pixel XL after using one on a Samsung Galaxy S8+. I loved the bumper on the S8+ but the redesigned Rhinoshield bumper is still insanely tight on the Pixel Xl. So tight that I didn't think I was going to be able to remove it without doing permanent damage to the device. If the redesigned version of the bumper for the Pixel XL is this tight, I can't even imagine what the 1st. version was like.

After following the specific instructions on the included card and a steady, persistent effort I managed to get it off, at which point I put it back in its box. It's being sent back today for a refund.

It's surprising on how different the same case is on different devices. A+ on the S8+, D- on the Pixel XL.

I'm going to keep looking, I would love to buy a Strada Case by Otterbox, which I'm calling the first designer case from Otterbox but they don't make one for Pixel xl. If you're looking for a sleek, protective case check out the "Strada" case by Otterbox. It's the nicest case they've ever made and the only Otterbox case I would consider using as my daily driver. If they make the "Strada" case for your phone buy one, you can come back to this page and Thank me later.

11th Nov is when Samsung said they're gonna halt production. However, on the 10th, Android Central said they were told that "We are temporarily adjusting the Galaxy Note7 production schedule in order to take further steps to ensure quality and safety matters."

How credible is this? Will the Note7 return in a few months time? Is the halt a PR stunt to keep lawsuits away?

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] soyssauc3:
Hey guys, just wondering if anyone has an explanation for this.

I have T-mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 G930T and had working root for quiet some time until one day some apps started to crash. So I thought I would try clearing app cache and rebooting. Thats when the phone fell into a bootloop and got stuck on the Tmobile logo. I was able to boot up with factory reset but still would fall into bootloop again when restarted. So I redid everything by going back to stock and reroot. Now everything seems to work fine but I was just wondering why that happened? I mean its not like I'm getting bootloop while rooting but all of a sudden after its been working fine for quiet some time. I wouldnt want it to happen again since its a hassle setting up everything.

I am on the latest PIA firmware and could it be google and samsung security are catching up? I think there were rumors where your google accounts could be blocked for rooting which seems highly unlikely. Many are also rooted on PIA firmware but I havent heard of anyone mentioning this. Anybody care to explain to this noob? :confused:
