Bought that new shiny iPhone 6 already? Or just settling for an iPhone 5S this year? Now matter, whatever you bought is not cheap anyways. And if you already have one, you definitely need to safeguard your investment from accidental shocks.
Rhino Shield Crash Guard, a bumper case for iPhones, is something that you would like to add up to this investment. The bumper is a slim profile bumper case that provides amazing drop protection and does not compromise on the original design.
Product features:
- Slim profile bumper is only 2.5mm thick
- Allows for the device to be seen and not wrapped up in a bulky case, the way Steve intended
- Super-lightweight (weighs 12 grams, less than half an OUNCE!)
- Ultra-high impact absorbing properties, with no visible damage to the device following drop tests of over 20 feet or 7 meters
- Hard and soft construction with a matte texture for ease of grip
- Available in attractive fashion colors including pink, purple, black, white, orange and teal
- Compatible with third-party headphones (including Beats by Dr. Dre) and lighting cable
- Design of bumper allows for easy access to all ports and buttons
- Powered by Egg Drop Technology
- Available for the iPhone 5/5S/5C, the iPhone 6 and the iPhone 6 Plus.
The Crash Guard bumper features a minimal design approach. The goal is to cover up as little of the device as possible, while adding maximum protection. The Crash Guard bumper-style case allows for as much exposure of your device and Apple’s original design as possible. It has a matte finish, which is not only fashionable, but also serves as a means of enhancing your grip on your device. The finish also serves to make the bumper more durable as it is harder to scratch (unlike cases and bumpers with a glossy/ candy shell finish, which scratch very easily).
The bumper uses hard and soft polymer construction to perfectly fit and wrap your iPhone. The Rhino Shield Crash Guard bumper does not slide around like silicone, TPU or some snap-on cases. All the buttons (power, volume, etc.) are fully accessible, and all the ports have sufficient openings so they are easily accessible and compatible with headphones (including Beats by Dr. Dre) and third-party charging accessories.
The impact protection boundary is provided using an innovation in structure, the “Honeycomb Structure” within the inner lining of the bumper. This will add an additional 10%-15% of overall impact absorbency to that of just the materials alone. This property has been known to have an excellent stiffness-to-weight ratio, which helps to improve the overall effectiveness of the material by spreading the area of impact across a larger physical area, in effect reducing the force at any given point (the actual point of impact). The Crash Guard bumper can protect your device against more than 225 pounds (or close to 100Kg) of pressure.
Below is a demonstration of an iPhone protected with the bumper that is run over by a car, which survives the impact without any damage.
The bumper is also screen protector-friendly. While it will be compatible with most screen protectors on the market, the overall impact protection you see demonstrated in our videos will only be achieved with the use of our Rhino Shield impact resistant screen protector.
The Rhino Shield case is a Kickstarter project and will retail a case for around $19 when launched.
