Rhino Shield just sent me out some PlayProof cases for the iPhone 6s Plus to review and I was really quite impressed. I loved their Crash Guard bumper, so I had high hopes for the PlayProof and they were certainly realized. The case is ridiculously thin and light and comes in a huge number of colors and patterns, and like the Crash Guard, it is supposed to protect your phone up to a 11.5 ft drop. The only thing I don't like so much about the case is its exterior texture. To me, it is kind of slippery. But I tend to love grippy cases!

Pros:
* 11.5 ft of impact protection. Wow. Just wow.

* Amazingly thin and lightweight.

* Tons of great designs and colors to choose from.

* Good protective lip around screen.

* Reasonably big port openings should work with most third party cables.

* Fits iPhone 6s Plus like a glove.

* Matte exterior seems pretty scratch resistant.

* Nice fit and finish.

* Reasonably priced at $24.99 (plain) and $29.99 (patterned).

Cons:

* Matte exterior shell does not offer very much grip. Then again, if you drop your phone in this case, you are probably OK!

Awesome review. I just ordered mine and got shipping confirmation. Excited to see if this becomes my go to over my spigen
 
Do you think the case would be compatible with a Cinder style screen protector? I understand the Rhino Shield Bumper works with it.
 
I just ordered the PlayProof in Dark Blue. After watching Kristin's and Aaron's review, I'm excited.

For Black Friday, they have $5 off the first 1000 orders of the PlayProof.

OP, can you please report whether the case is compatible with edge to edge screen protectors?
