Pixel 5 Bumper Case - Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers

I pre-ordered a Pixel 5 and I'd like to order a case so I have it by the time the phone shows up.
I like bumper cases that leave the back open. I'm currently using a Rhino Shield Crash Guard on my Pixel 2 XL but I found out Rhino Shield won't be making the Crash Guard for the Pixel 5.
Has anyone found any bumper cases anywhere for the Pixel 5? I've had no luck.

We are working on new products for the Pixel 5 / Pixel 4a (5G) !

I didn't say Rhino Shield wouldn't be making cases for the Pixel 5. I said they won't be making the Crash Guard case. My guess is that they'll just be making the Solid Suit case which is all they make for the Pixel 4a.

I am pretty sure they will make it though. They did it for the 4/4XL and 5 is the next flagship. So it would make sense.

I emailed Rhino Shield and they said they aren't making the Crash Guard for the Pixel 5. The Rhino Shield website does currently show products for the Pixel 5 but the only case is the Solid Suit which is a full case with the back covered which isn't what I want.

Damn. Wanted to get the bumper case as well. Let me know if you manage to find it anywhere else.
Found this :https://www.mobilefun.sg/olixar-novashield-google-pixel-5-bumper-case-black-82613
Though oddly couldnt find the bumper case on the official Olixar site.

I found that same case but it isn't actually a bumper case. It's just a regular case with a clear back.

Wow that looks great. I'm probably going to go for this as well. I use a spigen case for my Nexus 5. I dropped my N5 countless times and it is still as good as new. Very happy with their product.

Ringke Fusion cases are some of the best cases I have ever owned. super thin, extremely light, good grip.. lives through drops like its nobodies business, and the port covers are a nice added bonus. I also love how they change the feel of the power/side buttons to give a more tactile feel. it was extremely helpful for me with my N6 2014. Honestly, these cases legitimately have an effect on what phone I buy now. Like one of the reasons I don't want the blu XL or Axon pro is purely because reearth hasn't made any cases for those phones. I'm glad to see there is already one for the 5X.
But can we find more cases of another phones on same website ?

Perhaps its foolish to order four weeks ahead of the 5x delivery date... but the whole thing's been an impulse buy, so I ordered this one last night:

Hmmm... meh, I'll probably look for something a bit more discrete. I have the Spigen slim armour, or whatever it is called for my Nexus 5.

iPulse Vintage Book Series Note 8 Review

There was a thread the other day about artek giving free cases so they could get reviews for it, i have been using it for about a week and here's my review:
I recently bought a note 8 so i was looking for different cases, this is one of them.
It is made of real leather so that's always a plus. Now i almost all the time prefer minimalist cases because last couple of samsung phones are just so darn pretty and i like to show it off but this time i wanted to try something different.
It's a case i won't be using everyday because of the same thing but i have been using it for the last week an do far i like most of it specially the attention to detail and that it covers the screen as well.
I have tried wireless charging and yes it works, i'm guessing it will work with some chargers and not with others, the one i'm using has 2 coils i don't know if that has anything to do.
PROS:
+ Real Leather
+ Decent protection for the phone
+ PURDY
+ When using this there's no need to carry a wallet anymore since you can put your cards and some cash in there.
+ Perfect fit.
CONS:
- Using the fingerprint was hard enough with Samsung's fingerprint location, with this case it's even harder.
- Screen doesn't turn on automatically when opening case.
- Bulky, won't be comfortable if you are wearing skinny jeans.
At the end, i would say its a good purchase.
If you want to try it out here's the amazon link: http://a.co/8H3t90C

Bud, then you can simply install it with a glass screen protector, then choose a simply TPU slim case.
Trust me, nowadays Phones are built very solid.
Otterbox just take advantage of Scare of losing a thought dollars

5T Case Recommendations

Has anyone gotten an especially nice case that they would recommend? One that works with the official screen protector would be best as I think I'm going to get that.
the official red case is nice but i much prefer the one that the 5T comes with.
i also ordered https://www.aliexpress.com/item/cov...s-for-one-plus-5-t-oneplus5t/32841721369.html
Any good bumper cases for the 5T? I see RhinoShield has said they're NOT making a case for the 5T. Emailed Dbrand's to see if they're going to make The Grip for it, but haven't heard back yet. Any other bumper cases out there?

Dbrand said something along the way that they are first focusing on the ones they have initially proposed to produce/release, but they will add to further phones along the way. Once that comes out, I'll get it with the dragon skin.

Not sure if both models come with a case, but the 128 did. It's in the box where the Sim tool is
Can confirm the 64 also came with one, and screen protection as well. Good move from OnePlus.

thanks. was browsing aliexpress for two days and didnt see that one. ordered one just now
In addition to the TPU case that comes with the phone (which I didn't know about, either), I got the Sandstone case from the official store.
It is awesome! Totally great feel to the Sandstone texture, grippy, solidly fits the phone, and all the buttons are EXPOSED (which I find to be ideal) as well as the top and bottom of the phone. It has a lip so the screen doesn't touch when face-down, but it's very minimal. I really love the feel of the phone in this case.

It does look great and feels great but as far as protection I think it is really just to avoid scratches to the aluminum casing.

Yeah, I never buy cases for protection beyond scratches. It just makes the phone too bulky and ruins the experience for me.
I spent over 600 dollars on this phone and there's no insurance... Protection is a must
Get official flip one....you dont need to double tap or press power button for face unlock...lift the cover and magic !!

Flip cases are cringe
Oneplus 5T
I feel official Red case will be better
I bought the following two cases from Amazon. Just waiting for them to get here. I always like the leather look and full side protection.

I also thought so until i used them on Oneplus 5 and 5T...very sleek...issue with oneplus 5 was finger scanner on front so a sure flop the case...
Its not the same with 5T....very easy to use...

It does provide really good grip which helps you to avoid dropping the slippery phone.

Petition for RhinoShield to make cases for OnePlus 5t

So I've been on a lookout for the best alternative bumper to go with a OnePlus 5t and a dBrand. As much as I'd like to pair it with clear cases, there's still something that only a dbrand + bumper only could satisfy. Probably feeling that textured skin you carefully selected that covering with a clear case simply couldn't give.
If you're sharing the same frustration, please help us be heard by RhinoShield guys!
Sign this petition to make a RhinoShield crash guard for OnePlus 5t. We are on 114 signs so far. They said they would only create one when there are enough requests so aside from signing here, you could also email them at [email protected]
Thanks folks!

Over 500 signatures on change.org
Any news from Rhinoshield?
The phone has been out for almost 4 months now... I don't think the bumper will be coming for the 5T

In your opinion.
I hate normal cases and love bumpers. The Rhino is awesome and feels cool. I used a lot of Crash Guard and this is my favourite case without question.
UAG is the best alternative

rugged cases

Yes. I wouldn't say they are outstanding, pretty much you get what you pay for. I think that they are slightly lower quality than OtterBox. Less bulky though. I will probably get one if it includes a belt clip
They seem to offer alot of options that mount to their cases. They even have a cupholder flex arm car mount (used to use one that didn't clip the phone years back).
The question is that proprietary mount on the case reliable? If it slips loose, or peels off the case it's a fail. If it's secure and doesn't accidentally come undone it could be a great choice.

in retrospect this isn't the one that I thought it was. I am looking at reviews on Amazon for some of their previous products. Honestly they don't seem very good. I am probably going to pass. But I am like you, and hoping to find a nice rugged case that doesn't add a ton of bulk.
I'm still waiting for Rhinoshield to start selling their case. That's what I'll be getting.

The Ringke Fusion x is due out next week according do another post, I quite like that one.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-7t/accessories/ringke-fusion-x-t3993107
I just got this case to tide me over until something better is released. I'd never even heard of the company, but for just over $10 with shipping I figured I'd give it a shot.
I'd say it's good, but not great. Definitely better than the case that came with the phone.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07Y2SNMD...nt Protective Cover for OnePlus 7T(New Black)
That fusion x is probably about the best bet. The one I posted is really cool but I'd rather get a product from an American warehouse. The one in op even strips retail packaging for shipment from China unless specified.
Maybe they will end up on Amazon too? Could get both the. Lol >_>
