I can vouch for the awesome button and plate swap! I have the 8 Plus as well and am rocking the Rhinoshield case for that phone too. After having bought two dozen or so cases for the iPhone 8 Plus, I've come to the conclusion that the Rhinoshield Mod case is my absolute favourite of them all. I've yet to buy the camera mods, but will do so very soon.

Anyhow, here are two images of my 8 Plus case with the red buttons.

Thanks for the pics. They look more burgundy than red on the website and your pic. Would you say that’s true?

Spigen neo hybrid vs rhinoshield MOD??

The mod will provide a lot more protection but the spigen is not bad. Drop rated to 4ft like an average case. I think the neo hybrid would handle better though with it’s grippy sides and would look better with some use. That clear back of the MOD scratches super easily and shows finger prints. Hmm

I have the Spigen Neo Hybrid for the 8 Plus and I agree that it feels very, very nice. I'd argue that it's one of the best cases in terms of how it feels and its grip. Another very similar case is the VRS Pro Shield case (see image below). I think both are absolutely wonderful.

Thanks for this recommendation. Never heard of this case before. I love my Spigen Neo Hybrid but wanted a white alternative. I ordered the VRS Pro Shield in white/silver. Can’t wait for it to arrive.

I used to have the Verus (before they rebranded to VRS) Iron Shield on my iPhone 6 and remember it being an excellent case. Design-wise, however, it was nearly identical to the Spigen Neo Hybrid.

Tonight I picked up

https://www.evutec.com/aer-series-karbon-black-for-iphone-x-afix-included.html

Really like this case. Last weekend got the Ballistic Nylon version from Target and this one this weekend. Buttons excellent, good figment, not overly bulky nor minimal, I LOVE their included vent mount as it actually stays in my vent of car. It’s actually not very slick either, matte back and no fingerprints.

Last Summer during a 100 degree day I found that my vent mount blocked a lot of the AC....This time of year I don't mind a vent mount.

Had this case for my 6s plus and loved it. Skipped it for the 7 plus and back to it for my X. Love the feel and the buttons are much improved from the 6s plus. Also it has a built in magnet around the wireless charging coil that allows it to magnetically attach to a vent mount which is included with the case. I’d say it’s slimmer than the apple silicone but feels as protective and the vent mount is a big plus

Had one on my 6s also, but the new logo on the back has kept me from buying one for the 7 or X. I didn't mind the subtle leafs that blended in with the kevlar weave, but their name standing out in bold font is a deal breaker for me :(

Just back from the holidays and I found my Ryokosy cases delivered.

I mistakenly ordered the white instead of the black but to my surprise I actually like it on my space grey and plan to keep it.

Since I was using the Apple silicone case, the Silk Road case provides a similar hand grip.
However Ryokosy did a good job with the bottom protection and the precise cut-outs.

the case also has a side cut-out for easy SIM card access. I don't think I will be using it that often but I find the feature quite thoughtful.

The case also has a small lip in the front, I was afraid this would ruin the iPhone X experience.
I think with a tempered glass screen protector this will be barely noticed.

Got also the pink sand for the girlfriend.

here some shots of the white on the space grey:

Also some shots of the pink sand on the silver:

Hey fellas, not really a case but I just uploaded a video to my YouTube channel TECH-FIGHTER of the Nova Bumper with a dBrand dragon skin. Check it out and let me know what you think. The combo looks fabulous IMO.

That bumper is pretty slippery. I was always worried I would drop and the guy in the video did just that.

Has anyone tried the Spigen Reventon case? I really like their Neo Hybrid. Loving the look of the back, but I'm not sure I like the frame around the notch. Just wondering if anyone had tried this one.
