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!

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

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 ?

+1. Love Diztronic and Cruzerlite TPU cases.
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:
REDShield®[Clear] Slim & Flexible Anti-shock Crystal Silicone TPU Skin Protective Cover for Google Nexus 5X by KarenDeals
Anyone use something similar before? feedback?
ps. I haven't posted enough to include links apparently, apologies for causing headaches and additional tabs...
All TPU are going to be essentially the same.. Only difference is aesthetic and price

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.
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.

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 !!

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.

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.

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.
anyone have thoughts on the spigen casetough armor?
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 >_>

Rhinoshield Crashguard bumper case
Has anyone tried these cases? Currently using the RIngke Fusion X but looking for a less bulky case. Wanted to see if anyone out there has had experience with this brand?
Rhinoshield is known to be a very good case. It can protect your phone really good.
I have the rhinoshield bumper and I really like it, because it allows me to feel how good the phones feels in hand with a good Protection to impacts as long as it won't fall on a rock. The bumper is very slippery tho. B

how are the buttons though? i've heard various things like they're too hard or some say they're too mushy. I'm curious on the button feel and especially the alert slider button? Thanks!
https://rhinoshield.io/pages/solidsuit?device=oneplus-7t
I have the solid suit, the case is great and you could think the protection is good but it sucks, I dropped my phone from pocket height and the internal oled cracked, no absorption from the case at all, I got the phone repaired and 2 weeks later I take the case off and the back panel is cracked too
I'm on the hunt for a good Case for my 8T so far I couldn't find something that's not bulky and ugly looking, I'm looking for something strong but thin and light, is the dbrand Grip Case worth it or it's just a hype around a product because they have a good PR team or is it really as good as they say?
I had one for my OnePlus 6 before this phone and I really liked it, it was quite bulky but felt quite nice. Only problem was the bumper came away from the back really quickly but dbrand created a twitter thread explaining the problem and how they'd fix it so I'm assuming it is fixed
I know dbrand is worth it but I have always loved Urban armor gear they have always taken care of my phone I've had them for my last six devices and I could check my phone across the room and not have a scratch or break screen nothing because it does come up over the screen just a little bit on every device and I love that

I've used dbrand on my OnePlus 7Pro, OnePlus 8, and I have it pre-ordered for the 8t right now. It's never let me down and I've dropped my phone a lot. Plus whenever my 5 y/o gets a hold of my phone I'm not too concerned if he drops it and I have that case on. Also, it's not as bulky as you would expect it to be, at least that's my opinion on it.
Tech 21 has a decent clear and check case for the 8T. I have used the Dbrand case many times in the past and they are great but shipping is long and cost is high for something you could get on amazon etc.. I don't find them to be the "Grippiest" like they claim. But they are good, Hence why I've owned a few. I couldn't find the Tech 21 cases online but T-mobile has them for their 8T+5G version in store that is identical to the regular 8T in almost every way.
I got my Grip case today.. It does add a bit of bulk but it's a really nice case .. The cut outs are al in the right place and well spaced and even, the liner is a nice touch and well package..
Update.. the edge of the case is to narrow and close to the edge of the screen, that it messes with the different screen protectors I have tried.. one was the Oneplus 3d and another was a tpu style..
It has a simple design with wonderful grip, offers military-grade protection, and the click buttons I've ever experienced.
