Great point on the aluminum. I wouldn't have thought it, especially due to the rubber/silicone between the aluminum and phone itself in most common models.
Got a tip for us?

Still no communication from Caze. They haven't replied to my email (from early last week) and the order number doesn't produce any tracking info.
Silence on their part is frustrating. If it's taking much longer, I'd like to know so I can purchase something cheaper in the meantime.

Caze emailed me back pretty quickly on a few questions that I asked, but I'm weary about placing an order through them based on their lack of order communications. In the meantime, I ordered a RhinoShield CrashGuard to tie me over.
so here are the dimensions for the CrashGuard from one of the reps from Evolutive Labs...
"The Dimensions are: 84.5mm x 164.7mm x 10.2mm and the thickness is 3.1mm"

Thanks! I'm usually more concerned with depth/thickness than height and width. This one is thicker than most bumpers, but doesn't seem terribly thick.
I think their eggshell tech is always going to make theirs thicker than the rest. I'll definitely post pics of all 3 bumpers, together, once I have them all, as well as on the phone, of course.
I was able to pick up the black Rhinoshield CrashGuard. I don't have pics yes, but looks spectacular with black iPhone 7. The matte black really looks good without anything covering the back. That being said, once I get more time with it, I will take some pictures and provide a brief opinion on everyday use.
Just got the rhinoshield from Amazon. Looks really nice. Great quality. Feels good. That said, the thing is huge! Make the iPhone 7 Plus difficult to use one handed (I have big hands so was never a problem. That said, I love the look.
I will post pics later. FYI the Apple dock does not work with the it on.

Looking forward your feedback. I have a matte black iPhone 7 as well.

Yes! Pictures and feedback! Although I get mine tomorrow and my phone sometime this week.
I'm wondering about this. Looking forward to your feedback. I have big hands also but I felt the phone with a wide case was uncomfortable. So we'll see how this one feels.
That's exactly what I was afraid of. I want a really slim profile, so I think I'll take this one out of the running.
Still looking forward to pics to make sure, thanks.
I totally understand. I bet it's easier to do a return via Amazon than via Evolutive directly.
I usually get all my phone accessories from Amazon. I didn't even think to try there, first. but at least I did get to apply that 15% discount the other day. great customer service.
I wish Spigen still made their two-piece bumpers. I loved the ones they made for the 5/5s.
I had one for the 6 and it broke pretty quickly. I loved their metal one though.
No kidding. It looks ridiculous (and cheap). Easy Pass - all day, every day!
RhinoShield advertises these things like they're being dropped from the international space station. Like I said, in another post....they're turning into OtterBox (and that's not a compliment).
