Case Comparison: Ringke vs Verus vs Rhino

Another case comparison between:
RhinoShield CrashGuard Bumper
VERUS High Pro Shield
Ringke SLIM
After destroying my OnePlus X I deceided to get a case for my Nexus 5X, turns out it wasn't that easy to find what I was looking for.
Maybe this helps other people, although there are a lot of videos and pictures out there already, so this is just quick and dirty comparison between them which are important to me and not clear after reading some reviews.
Ringke SLIM
Pros:
Cheap
Excellent fit
Lightweight
Cons:
Sharp edges, annoyed me extremly when making a call, not comfortabel to the ears
Minimal protection I guess, sure you keep the back pretty clean, but I would not bet on it to protect the phone when falling down
VERUS High Pro Shield
Pros:
Good fit
Excellent protection
Cons:
Heavy and bulky
RhinoShield CrashGuard Bumper
Pros:
Excellent fit
Lightweight
Good protection
Neutral:
Buttons are hard to press, but you get used to this.
I personally like this, chances of pushing the power button in your pocket is reduced dramatically. If you dislike it you can put a little piece of eg paper between bumber and button.
Conclusion
So I ended up with the RhinoShield, and I realized that ones again it is all about compromises.
Do you just want nice, small, light, cheap case but far from good protection and comfort - go Ringke,
or are you maybe a outside worker with big hands, want maximum protection due to your work and don't care about size and weight - get Verus.,
or maybe you want good lightweight protection and don't care about the hard to press buttons - get Rhino.

Reviewed some new cases today from Artech 21

Got my cases from Artech 21 today and overall it's a pretty decent product that won't break the bank. I ordered the 3 cases they currently have available for the S7E. They all came on time and in good condition.
All 3 of these cases have a simple two part construction, Tpu with a poly carbonate bumper, The cutouts are all in the right places, and the fit is snug on your phone.
I received these cases at a discount in exchange for a honest review. I am in no way affiliated or compensated by Artech 21.
Dallas Lazer Series:
I'd say offers medium protection and a pretty streamline design. It's not a minimalist case but not to bulky, similar in size to a symmetry or UAG. Not sure if some of these are early production but neither case has any type of branding or button illustrations for power and volume. I got a red and a black one and both are like this. The inside of the case is shiny with a micro dot print for grip on the phone. The Amazon photos also shows the the trim lines around camera are chrome on both colors. Neither of mine have this. See pics
Pros:
Has lightweight construction, buttons feel responsive, good feel and grip with the design on back, had raised lip around screen.
Cons:
No branding (subjective)
Missing the chrome accents
Hybrid Jelly Dallas Series:
This case is exactly the same as the case above in terms of construction and deminsions. The only difference is the clear tpu back. Also no branding or illustrations on this one.
Pros:
Has lightweight construction, buttons feel responsive, good feel and grip with the design on back, had raised lip around screen.
Cons:
No branding (subjective)
Vivid Arkansas Series:
This is definitely the more complete product line for the S7E IMO. TPU with PC bumper but this model has a peice of PC across the back of the case protecting the camera. The tpu has a nice horizontal line patten cut on the outside for grip and a 3D cube "Nexus looking" pattern on the inside. This one also has branding on the inside and outside as well as all the illustrations on the power and volume buttons. Case is a little stiffer than the other models with that extra piece of PC. It's gonna be a little thicker than the others more similar in size to a commuter case.
Pros:
Lightweights construction, nice buttons and fit, stiff bumper with added support.
Cons:
Couldn't find anything wrong with this one.
Mod edit: Sales links removed.
I will be updating photos to show cases on phone soon.

Thread closed.
Artech 21 is not going to use XDA or its members to make money.

Real Life RhinoShield CrashGuard Bumper Review

Hi all, I would like to take this opportunity and give my honest and practical review about this case & screen protectors.. Pictures coming up soon.
I have had this case for about one week now and its been great in terms of protections. I generally don't have butter fingers. Most of the times, i have my phone on my office table. As far as the protection goes, this case does an excellent job protecting volume rockers, power button, alert slider and charging port. It's shock absorbing patterns is great for those corner drops. This has to be one of the best bumper case I have used on smart phones. Previously, i have been using the Spigen Rugged Armour as my daily driver. Its a very beautiful soft tpu case but doesn't match the protection anywhere close to what RhinoShield offers. This case is for someone who wants great protection in very minimalist way. It's definitely worth giving it a try.
I am also using the Rhino Tempered Screen Guard. I have used few other brands before this, I got to say this is one of the best out there because of the following reasons. Scratch reistant, slim profile, anti-fingerprint, not edge to edge screen protector which makes it easy for me to switch cases without worrying.
Pros
-great protection
-it covers the camera bump
-doesn't rock when its laid on table
-alert slider works fine
-excellent cutout for the usb Type C charger and speakers
Cons
- It's very snug that makes it difficult to remove/putting on the case for the first few times
- very stiff volume rockers
- side bumper could use additional textures styling to improve the grip since this phone is >5 inch.
-will not be able to use the full size tempered glass screen protectors
Here is a video from Phonebuff who did a drop test while using this case. It's a killer case. It sets bar higher for other phone case makers.

Bought it...Waiting now ..I have spigen case..will compare and tell here is it worth 1/4th the price of original(spigen can be bought close to 800 INR)???

I thought to myself that the case looks familiar, and my thought is correct. It's the case I've had for almost as long as I can remember, and while I wouldn't say it withstand a comparative check against a Spigen, it's still a dang nice case. I bought mine off a Chinese website for $9 and I can say it's serviceable.
I've installed it for about four months or so, if memory serves me correct and it has protected the device from countless of falls to wooden floors (don't want to test on a concrete because that'd be a bad idea).
Photos attached, sorry for the horrible lighting of the photos.

I'd rather break my phone than wear a case like that.
I wear thin plastic transparrent (nillkin nature) cases or the original karbon one.
I keep my phone usable and stylish, wearing those big spigin-like cases absolutely destroys the phone's desing any my usability.
I have 1+3 for about 9 months and nothing happened.
but every day i enjoy the thinness and looks of my phone.

carbon fiber "design" isn't carbon fiber

Literal copy and paste of the Spigen, which I'm using as we speak. Its durable I won't doubt that but you need to change the design or something.

OnePlus 7T case roundup

Since I've bought a few different cases, I thought I'd do a roundup of them.
Nillkin Super Frosted Shield Matte:
Minimal case, but with a slight lip around the glass and camera bump protection. Full 360 degree coverage with tight cutouts and good buttons. A very tight, accurate fit; it won't bounce off if you drop it.
Covered with a bump pattern to make it grippy. Hard plastic that will likely crack on dropping.
For: people wanting to reduce the slipperiness of the phone, make the bump look less dumb, and protect from scratches and light drops.
Spigen Liquid Air:
Light by Spigen's chonky boi standards, this gives protection not far off their Rugged Armour series without the goofy carbon fibre accents. Looks good and fits great. Large protection lip around the screen and sufficient camera cover. Tasteful design. Not as grippy as you'd think, but better than just the phone.
For: serial phone-droppers who don't want to make their giant phone any more gigantic. A good compromise case.
Official "sandstone" bumper case:
More rugged than the Super Frosted Shield, but with openings for the rockers, buttons, and top and bottom.
Extremely grippy texture and a tight fit. Good screen lip protection and camera cover. Aesthetically a bit weird; a bit "HTC Desire era" with the big gaps all around. Tasteful OnePlus logo.
Colour and texture of an asteroid space station wall; really needs to have "REMEMBER THE CANT" spray painted on it.
For: official case fans who don't mind paying twice what it's worth (unless you find it on eBay). Daredevils. People who like to click the proper buttons.
All three are good, but if you spend the RRP on the official case, you should go get your face paint on and get to the circus, because you're a clown.

Good write-up ?. Though I tried a couple of cases - both military types and transparent types - I couldn't find any of them good. I still use the official transparent case that came with the phone. I couldn't find any better than this case.
For military types I hate them because of the thick bumper sides that eliminates the bezel-less nature of the phone. Yes the military types meant for that kinda protection but I don't like those cases. For the transparent ones none of them gives that extra bumper for the screen and back camera glass like the official Twitter m transparent case. All of them were sh*ts.
For my old Lenovo Z2 Plus, there were a vast variety of colored back covers with extra screen and back camera bumper protection. I had more than 20 cases in different types and colors. My MiA1 also has more than 10 different cases. Note that these weren't just cheap quality cases with some printed graphics, these were all in plain solid colors. I don't know why case manufacturers of 7T never make such kind of cases.
Two months ago I was planning to make a custom made plastic-printed case with the help of my friend, he has a 3d printer with him. I even made a 3d model of the phone and case in my PC. But due to the pandemic I had to stop the process. Not sure if I can do the further developments.
Sent from my OnePlus7T using XDA Labs

I’ve never understood why “military grade” is considered a selling point. Have these people never met someone who was in the military? Everything’s made by the lowest bidder!
I agree with the lack of case options. I don’t think the OnePlus 7T sold all that well or something, it’s disappointing.

I got my 7T used and it came with three official cases. I'll add to your list, if you don't mind.
Karbon Protective Case:
This case is just like the Sandstone in that the buttons, slider and top/bottom are exposed. The feel is interestingly rubbery, but a bit slippery. It is very thin and almost looks like a skin until you look closer. Not that it is that thin, but fits so well. It's so thin it adds nearly no weight. The OnePlus logo is far more pronounced than the Sandstone, and really pops being so silvery-white. It makes me wish the Sandstone had a silver/white logo, it's that good.
Sandstone Protective Case:
Basically everything you said. The grip is incredible and you will be hard-pressed to drop your phone unless you're being careless. An improvement over the 5T Sandstone as the texture is slightly better. My go-to case, really.
Red Silicone Bumper Case:
This thing is pure red. Wow, that red! It is noticeably more bulky than the Karbon and Sandstone. There is no lip for the camera bump because it's bulky enough to clear it. So the back is smooth all the way, no table wobble. The inside of the case is a nice suade. It actually is an awesome premium touch, and you feel good to know your phone is safe from even case scratches, lol. Covers all buttons, makes the slider a bit more difficult to reach (but not too much), and covers all the way around the top and bottom, leaving ample holes for the microphone, charging port and bottom speaker. There is an ample lip all the way around. The feel is similar to the Karbon but more grippy. Softer feeling. The logo is understated and just recessed in the silicone.
All of these cases feel very premium (to me) and the fit is so perfect I think they're worth the investment. Especially if they last as long as my Sandstone from the 5T I used since launch.

Update: I've been using the official Sandstone case as my daily driver for nearly four months now. I've had a bunch of drops from pocket height onto concrete without any damage to the phone, and the case texture hides the dings very well.
Would recommend again.
