Rhino shield bumper anyone?

[kgenova]

How does the bumper feel in the hand? Is it sticky like silicone? Rubbery-grippy like the TPE on the Thule Atmos X3 case or Survivor Core case? Slightly grippy like Tech21 TPU cases? Does it attract lint? Get dirty easily? Enquiring minds need to know!!

Off topic, but...love your cat, Zachpenguin!! He's beautiful!!

Thanks kgenova, he's a spoiled brat.

I can say this about evolution labs, communication and customer service has been great. They just sent me a $10 coupon for the long wait I've had in shipping. It did finally leave Chicago distribution last ngoni, so hopefully just another day or so. Need to get rid of this clear plastic shell I've been using.

I look forward to hearing your opinion about the bumper when it finally gets to you. The drop test reviews are almost unbelievable.

Your cat looks enormous, as well as beautiful. My cats (two spoiled Siamese mixes) are small, only 9 pounds each, but your cat looks like he must be at least 15 pounds. Gorgeous!

Closer to 20. Pure Bred Maine Coon. He still has a lot of growing to do as well, they don't mature until 5 years.

My super impatience is kicking into over drive. Hopefully tomorrow.

Wow, quite a cat! I've heard great things about that breed.
Fingers crossed that your bumper will come soon!

Mine is finally out for delivery!!

 

[cornettbr]

Yeah the reviews are tgtbt it seems.

Finally got mine today. Really nice. Screen protectors for the front and back are very clear and cut outs are perfect. The bumper looks good and feels very nice.

 

[zachpenguin]

I didn't get the screen protectors, but I'm not entirely worried about them usually. Generally find I peel them off after a week anyway.

 

[zachpenguin]

Finally out for delivery. Was getting to the point of putting my Otterbox back on and saying forget it. Hopefully I can find it worth the wait.

I am interested in seeing how more people like this bumper. I am really considering ordering it.

I have always loved bumper cases since my 4. Usually had the official apple though. Usually float between a bumper and a defender, depending on the day. I'll post a review should it actually show up tonight.

I just got my bumper today and switching from an Otterbox Commuter case, it's taking some getting used to. It feels like my phone will slip out of my hand when I grab and hold onto the back of my phone. Besides adjusting to my phone in a bumper, I do like the slimmer profile and the volume and lock buttons. The main test will be when I get into my car after work and see if the AUX cable I use will fit with the bumper in place.

Worst shipping experience ever. At this point, I'm completely over this bumper. Have never had to wait so long for something. Was out for delivery yesterday, never showed, and is now back to the distribution center over 2 hours away. Which means I won't see it until tomorrow at the earliest. Unfortunately for Evolutive Labs, I won't be ordering anything again. It's been nearly a month. I've gotten way quicker service ordering from China directly.

You mentioned it feels like it will slip out of your hands. Did you get the back screen protector too? Because if it's too slippery may be a deal breaker for me. Was really considering this

I did get the back screen protector with the bumper. It was in the yellow envelop that comes in the box, but I didn't put it on. I've had to hold my 6 plus with different grips than how I used to hold it when the Otterbox commuter was protecting the phone. My hands get a little clammy at times, which makes me feel like it'd slip if I grabbed it with my fingers on the back of my phone.

A couple positives of note:

With the slimmer profile, I can get my thumb to go across the ever so slightly curves edges of the screen bezel which I couldn't do with the Otterbox on my phone.

The volume and lock buttons feel really good. I only have to press them one time to get them to register.

The headphone port fits the AUX cable in my car. I only state this because my cable is a little older and has a wider end on it (still a 3.5mm connector).

Wow that sounds terrible. Now I don't know if I want to order.

I delivered today. Something about Chinese New Year and all that jazz. Everyone else seemed to have better luck than me.

Finally got my hands on it. So far I like it, just wish that "green" was an actual green. The blue is throwing me a little. Overall feels nice and went on pretty easily. Will give it a few days and see what happens.
