Quote: Most of our competitors' use tempered glass while we use plastic tpu. Plastic will not be able to reach 9h hardness; polymer is weaker against scratches but much stronger against impacts. The device itself receives much more protection from our screen protector (even if the screen protector itself scratches more easily) because plastic will never break. For tempered glass, once it's broken, the screen is no longer protected. For our screen protector, it is a simple ding.



We are working on improving this issue but it is quite challenging, however we are proud to say our screen protector is currently one of the most scratch resistant polymer protectors on the market.

Quote: We are going to be honest here. Some of our customer's feel that we made the buttons too stiff and have voiced their concern about having to use more force. Nexus 6p and 5x were designed with much more sensitive buttons and sometimes feels a bit loose, so we had designed our bumper with this in mind. If your issue is afraid that you want a clear and defined buttons, then our cases is a good solution.

If you are however afraid that a light tap will not register the buttons then we are unfortunately have yet to solve this issue, but judging from my own personal experience, a week of usage with the bumper, you will find the buttons to be less stiff

For the past 2 years, the screen protector I have had on my previous phone (OnePlus One) was made by a successful Kickstarter company by the name of Evolutive Labs. The screen protector's main focus is protection and in my experience it has lived up to all the claims they make about it. I originally bought it for my OnePlus One because the phone was about as large of a phone as I would own, and as a result I didn't want to add any more size/bulk to it without leaving it unprotected. Below I have included a link to the videos of them pounding it with a hammer, my first impression review when I originally got it, and pictures of how my phone now. I have dropped my phone several times within the past two years and the phone's edges have racked up a beating; however the screen has never cracked and I have grown accustom to it being safe from drops.(1) Evolutive Labs videos on the Rhinoshield Screen Protector: http://www.evolutivelabs.com/pages/rhinoshield (2) My previous first impressions when I got the screen protector 2 years ago: https://forums.oneplus.net/threads/r...install.75686/ (3) Wear and Tear to the phone over 2 years without a case, but the screen protector did it's job in protecting the screen from all the drops it sustained. This will give you an idea of the real world protection it provides.Over the past two years, it has done its job very well at protecting my phone from all types of drops and such. It is made of a hard plastic so it does end up scratching over time. After about the first year, it had several scratches on it. These where from normal wear and tear, several drops, and me dragging it across a dirty bus floor (face down) with my foot after I dropped it under the seat. Fortunately, they do have a lifetime replacement program for the screen protectors and I was able to get it replaced for shipping cost in my situation a year ago. I asked Evolutive Labs about the scratching and they replied:I recently got a new phone, a Nexus 5X, and wanted to get a screen protector for it. I have been satisfied with the protection the RhinoShield offered so I got one. I also saw that Evolutive Labs have came out with a low profile bumper that can protect your phone from 11 ft drops. The Nexus 5X is a bit smaller and I was intrigued by it so I got that as well.For basic information about how the Rhinoshield screen protector feels that isn't device specific, see my first review linked above (#2). All the information I said in that review is still correct about the quality of the product. The tl;dr version of that review is that it feels harder than most plastic protectors, has a great visibility/clearness, touch responsiveness doesn't suffer, it doesn't peal up if installed somewhat decently, and the cutouts/fit for the OnePlus One are great. Here are pictures of how it fits and looks on the Nexus 5X:The Rhinoshield Crash Guard Case/Bumper: http://www.evolutivelabs.com/pages/crashguard The bumper does not add very much bulk to the Nexus 5X, especially when you compare it to the protection it provides. It has a sizable lip on the front and back that will elivate the phone from the surface. They even made sure to make the lip a bit bigger on the top back to protect the camera lens. The cut outs for the USB C, audio jack, and mic are nice and sizable. They shouldn't be an issue for most people (pictures of them below). The bumper doesn't have a nice curvature like the normal back of the Nexus 5X has. Due to this, it may feel a bit more substantial in the hand, but retains the smaller profile of the Nexus 5X when in your pocket. This is a positive thing for me because it makes it a bit easier to handle. Pulling it out of a pocket can be easier by grabbing the edge of the phone. The bumper makes it a bit easier to grip the phone when using the finger print sensor as well. The power/volume buttons are a bit mushy. They are a little harder to push and don't provide a nice click. They by no means make it 'hard' to push the buttons. I do have to use a notable more effort to click them though. This normally would have been a bigger issue, however the finger print sensor is how I turn my phone on 99% of the time. I just take the phone out of my pocket and rest my finger on the sensor on the back and it turns on. I really only use the power button when turning off the Nexus 5X.Pictures of the case/bumper:UPDATE:I got a reply from Evolutive Labs about the buttons being a bit hard to press. I have included that below. After I got the reply from them, I took off the case and pushed in the buttons a whole bunch with the purpose of stretching/wearing in the rubber. I can feel a little bit of a click and it is much easier to use the buttons now.
