They just have been closed or not checking email today. I’m hoping they’ll apply the BF discount after I accidentally paid full price today. I don’t have an option and to reorder yet either.

What if you purchase another one at a discount and return the other, if they won’t honor the code after purchase?

Clear for my silver X.

FYI, they are supposed to have a cyber Monday sale as well.

Ok thanks. I think I’ll hold off on a second black bumper for now. I have the following black bumper expected to be delivered soon....

 
Well, I received my MO Fusion Bumper today and...

Sorry to be negative, but bottom line before going into more detail, I like the RhinoShield Mod as a bumper better. I have a space gray X and ordered the black Fusion. I planned on taking a photo of the Fusion in its package, although it doesn't come in one. Just the bumper and my receipt in a bubble wrap envelope. Reminded me of opening a bumper shipped from China and purchased on eBay. Now here are my thoughts:

- The black Fusion is shiny plastic as opposed to the matte finish on the RS Mod.
- The Fusion is thinner than the Mod but just barely.
- The camera bump "appears" to be at the same depth as the bumper rim. I know I saw the video they posted and the bumper protected the X from terrible falls, but the camera bump doesn't seem like it has much protection.
- It isn't slippery, provides a little grip.
- Maybe its just me, but it seems to attract a lot of dust. It came out of the envelope with specks of white lint or dust.
- Based on my experience with the RS CrashGuard, I am not very good at removing cases or bumpers, but I had difficulties removing it.
- I do like the open button areas, and had no difficulties fitting my finger in to press any of them.

Send me any questions you may have. Photos to follow. BTW, after taking the photos I put the Mod back on and removed the K11 back protector.

Outstanding feedback!!!! There is a reason why Rhinoshield is so well respected in the case/bumper community. I had my reservations about MO, and this insight may lead me to canceling my order. My big concern about the RS bumper is the fact that many have said it’s pretty slippery. I ordered the K11 as well; I’m just looking for a bumper with some grip, not overly concerned about bulk. I have the HUMIXX bumper but that’s going back to Amazon, it’s like holding a wet bar of soap but it had so much potential.
 
Nice bumper, but I’m not crazy about the branding on the side and the tempered glass back.
Yeah, not crazy about the branding on the side either. The tempered glass back protector is optional. You don't have to use that part.
 
Based on your last picture, it looks like the camera bump sits higher than the bumper itself. Not good. Lens has no protection at all....Can you confirm this? I'm confused now. How did the phone survive in that video then?

I was so looking forward to receiving this case too. I am thinking of cancelling my order now.

In terms of attracting dust though, I think the clear bumper will do a better job in hiding this though.

Also, what glass protector are you using on the back? Seems to be a cut a little small.
[doublepost=1511602585][/doublepost]Managed to find a couple of pictures online of the clear bumper. Could it be of a different design?

Protection for the camera looks good here.

Exceptional feedback Darrin. Good grip, open button areas and thinness are all a good for me.

Is the camera bump is at the same level as the bumper rim? If so, I’m cool with that since I prefer minimalist bumpers and cases. As long of the camera doesn’t take a direct hit, it’s all good.

As ducatiti mentioned above, the clear should be better at hiding dust.

According to this pic on Instagram, the bottom of the clear fusion looks different than the black one you have. The clear bottom is bumpy/curvy and doesn’t have a straight lined button like the black.

Edit: ducatiti provided some pics of the clear fusion bumper above and it does look like a different design. It looks great!

If you watch the video with the black bumper and x again, it has a curvy bottom as well unlike Darrin's.

Around the 1:38 mark:


Walds, it does look great. After seeing those pictures of the clear bumper, decided not to cancel my order :) Not bad at all for $20. Won't find another bumper case that can still showcase the stainless steel band.

The whole purpose of me wanting a bumper case is that I want to be able to feel the glass on the back while holding the phone. I'd rather feel a smooth glass than a rubbery/plastic case.

Hopefully we receive the clear bumper design just like in the pics and vid. $23.99 to be exact :D

Darrin, do you mind shooting them an email and asking about the design differences? I should be receiving mine early next week, just curious now though.

I’ll be interested in hearing everybody else’s feedback. To me if you lay the X down on a table, the camera bump will touch the table. I couldn’t see any space between the bumper and the camera lens. It seems flush, at the same exact level.

I agree, the clear one seems to have a different shape. I don’t know what good it will be to email them, they haven’t responded to an email I sent them almost a week ago. I can try.
 
Hmm. This has me on the fence. I’ll have to try for myself once I’m back in town.

I noticed a ton of lint when using the Mod as well. It wasn’t on the bumper itself, but in the inner crevices between the bumper and the case.

If I don’t like this one...... ugh....

I cancelled, mainly because of their horrible customer service. Like you, they haven’t replied back to a single email either. Heck, I don’t even know if they’ll acknowledge the cancellation email. They said they’d post the Black Friday coupon on FB, but didn’t then they sent an email blast saying to get it from Instagram.....uh no.

I have too many cases on the way, so I will just wait for more feedback; I am also waiting to see the Grovemade wood bumpers. Not much protection, but their unique. Utomic Edge bumpers, K11 silver bumper and this are all on the way:

I’ll let everyone know my feedback once I receive my clear fusion bumper.

They haven’t emailed me back either, but they returned my voicemail on Wednesday that I left earlier in the week.

PLEASE, stop showing me new iPhone cases. This darn thing looks good IMO. But I don’t want to buy anymore.

I know right!!! This one looks amazing. I’m gonna hold off until I get the clear fusion bumper.

Brian, that case on the link can be bought for $5 on Amazon and even less from EBay.

I just noticed the one you bought is thinner but similar. 9 out of 10 wouldn’t notice though. I would return and test other cases :)
 
Bear Motion sells a bumper too. You guys seen it?

No but when I Google it, I get this....the description is hilarious, “white for boy girl man woman”

Completely different case, the one I bought has open sides all around, only the corners and back are covered. That one is just a typical clear case, countless ones on Amazon.

Mind taking a picture of the phone and case lying on a table? Maybe we will see if the case is lifted off the surface because of the camera bump.
