Why is it so hard to find a real bumper?

[HickDead]

How "edge to edge" is that protector?

Also I can't find that on Amazon?

He included a direct link to the Amazon listing in his post.....

Here it is again:

I'm going to call it a compromised E2E or "case-friendly." It's not as edge to edge as I would like, but it also hasn't interfered or been lifted by any cases/bumpers.

Here's the link to the case/screen protector - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01HMQPBTY

Just received the CrashGuard for my IP7 and I gotta say that I'm really impressed with the quality of the bumper along with the weight (super light) and the tight fit around the phone.

However I noticed that there's a thin straight gap around the top portion of the lightning charging port. Is this how it's supposed to be??? Can owners of the CG confirm this please.

(Sorry for the crappy pic, had to use my work phone).

I also have a very slight gap in the same place. I hadn't. Priced it before, but it doesn't bother me. Mine is also probably less pronounced due to my screen protector. The gap is probably necessary to accommodate 3rd party charging cables.

I definitely had third-party plugs that were way too snug on previous CrashGuards with my past phones.

Any pics of the Caze ThinEdge case yet?

Returned the X-Doria Edge today. About to return the crash guard. Would love to see the Caze in photos. I don't care about the camera issue. Just want a bumper. I may just sell the crash guard or trade someone with a Caze.

No gap seen if I look straight on...if I tilt it up a little, then yeah, I see a slight gap.

Not following...you want a number for what?

 

[michael31986]

Will do. I was told its the same material as the screen protector so I believe its going to be glossy. But I wanted to see and try it since its obviously compatible with the CrashGuard.

The one sold at the Apple Store can't be bought anywhere else. And I think only Apple has the machines.

Did you get the protector? Also do you have a jet black?

I got a Thanotech from their Kickstarter campaign for my wife's 6s+ and I hate to say that I'm not impressed.
Build quality was just so-so. VERY hard to access the mute switch. The aluminum trim scratched way too easily IMHO, and it was too easy to kink when taking it off the iPhone. We won't be buying another.
Again, IMHO, YMMV, etc.

I too was part of the KS and I too feel their bumpers are just so so. I actually have 2 bumpers that are just sitting collecting dust.

I did receive the Rhinoshield rear protector today. It is a rigid piece of clear plastic. It lines up right against the bottom of the CrashGuard and rests just below the camera bump. The width is almost e2e inside of the CrashGuard. So you can see a minimal area exposed / viewable on each side. Kind of like the standard glass screen protectors that are not e2e. There is also area at the top exposed. It feels grippy. I installed it without removing the CrashGuard. I don't know if you will be able to view in my photos, but it shows fingerprints. But so does the matte finish on the iPhone. Im writing this and looking at my iPhone and its definitely shiny. I think I like it. Time will tell though. I'm always super careful and protective with my new iPhones and then 6 months later I end up using it without any protection other than a sleeve. We'll see.

Can someone recommend a good quality skin (back only) that is compatible with the CrashGuard bumper? Thanks

Rhino Shield is charging $25 shipped for these PLASTIC back protector - which is exactly what I paid for the CrashGuard bumper on Amazon. Think about this for a min, LOL.

They must be smoking some really good hashish in their corporate offices.

Anyhow, I'm still looking for a cheap, decent skin/protector for the back of my iPhone 7 that is CrashGuard bumper friendly.

im beginning to think the Caze Thinedge for iPhone 7 doesn't exist as i have not seen one real photo of it yet. Only the illustrations on the website. Have anyone received one in person yet, I ordered mine yesterday.

Can anyone explain the return/refund process if you purchased directly from Evolutive Labs? I'm in the process of returning mine...

Send them a request, they will email back a shipping label (not prepaid). Once the item is received refund for item(no shipping) will be received.

I got to that part, but the label doesn't have a company name listed. They use a logistics partner located in Dayton, NJ, so I don't have to ship overseas, which is a good thing. I emailed the Evolutive rep and he doesn't know, but will get back to me. Guess I can use Evolutive Labs?

I shipped mine back with the label as-is. I'll let you know what happens.

as far as my request to cancel my order with Caze, they still have not responded to my PayPal dispute.

Since they are overseas, I'd recommend just selling it on eBay, on Facebook or through this forum/community.

I believe PayPal gives them a couple of weeks to respond. Either way, you're covered and will eventually get your money back.

No need to worry.

The label seems shady to me. How did you ship it? I plan on shipping it via UPS, so I can track it, but need a company name.

See my post above. They use a logistics partner in the US for returns, so no overseas shipping.

I shipped it in a bubble envelope (similar to what they used). taped the label to the front, but still wrote my return address at the top-left corner since the lady at the counter said it might be a good thing, when she looked at the shipping label. then I stuck the other half inside the envelope and added my Order #. shipped it via USPS, cheapest with tracking which came out to a little over $6.

I'll do USPS if Evolutive does not get back to me. It's just concerning that there is no company name on the label. But hey, if there is tracking and the package gets "lost," I'd just file a claim on my credit card.

I'm wondering if it will still look shiny on the jet back. I bought the spigen and it isn't shiny enough

I got it last week. Didn't bother taking any pics because it didn't protect the camera. Sold mine on ebay.
