Rhinoshield AirX Flux Grey finally arrived. Don’t think anybody else here is interested in this case but I was really looking forward to it. I love sorta clear/frosted rugged cases (my most favorite case I ever had was a frosted Catalyst case for my 12PM).
Now with the Rhinoshield.. I‘m not
totally in love, yet. I mean, I don't hate it either? It is certainly beefy and protective and even nice to hold, once you get past the initial „holy 💩 this is massive”. It's bigger than the Beats Rugged.
Now the buttons? Certainly a choice. Embedded in the case so nothing protrudes outward except for little ridges. They are clicky though once you find them 😂 Hard to press right out the box. Handling it now for about half an hour, one gets used to the buttons. It's not horrible. I'd say click feeling is on par with the Apple Silicone.
Getting the phone in is a bit of a struggle as it’s really tight and you also have to be careful with the CC button because it pops out. I had to redo it the first time because the button was sorta askew and kept pressing itself. Getting the phone back out was thankfully easy. Second try is perfect now. Button works fine.
The case has raised edges at the top and the bottom on both the front and the back. So no wobbling and the screen never touches the table. Looking at
drop tests from previous generations of this case... it's impressive?
Being frosted though, it will probably grease up after some time. It's also not the most grippy. It's a 100% TPE Monocase, so no BPA and recyclable.
It's a keeper for me and I happily support Rhinoshield's endeavour for a more sustainable industry.
ETA: MagSafe is also super strong. Big USB cutout will fit the beefiest cables.
