DBrand vs Rhinoshield?

I use Magsafe accessories.

Never even heard of DBrand.

I have used Rhinoshield bumper cases over my last three phones and it's made all the difference in the world. I don't like full back cases or screen protectors and as such MagSafe isn't a concern.

My wife has used the ones with the see-through backplate type thing and that does show wear over time but has never failed. But her most recent one as well as my mom and sister is the full case type ones with graphics and all three of them look brand new after 2-4 years now.

If DBrand is available locally and for less than the Rhinoshield landed cost I guess it's worth looking at.

Nope, direct import.

The take your chances with the post office option was $8 so didn't make sense.

I wouldn't normally recommend the tempered glass but rather their flexible impact protector, but when I ordered there was no stock.

Thanks, I did import some Dbrand skins a good few years ago, so with all the chat I was hoping there were some local stockists about.

Yeah, problem is you'll probably wait weeks for stock even if there was.

I actually saw they have Impact Protectors back in stock now so just cancelled and re-ordered and came to $75.
 
@Spizz it might seem expensive but I compare this to insurance or a screen replacement and it's a no brainer.

The abuse I've seen my own and wife's phone go through and walk away from with no issue Rhinoshield will go on every device I can fit it too.

My AirPods also in a Rhinoshield cover. If they made an iPad one I would probably have that too.

Yep, I'm with you on that one. It seems like a lot at first glance but it's a necessity to have that peace of mind.

wonder if i can walk this late afternoon into the istore see what they have in terms of cases and buy

Also thinking of doing that, and I want to confirm they’ll put protector on and ‘guarantee’ it fits
 
A little bummed at this message. Don't quite see the point of preordering if it means you end up waiting for wider availability or more stock anyway 🤷‍♂️
For context: I placed this order last Friday about an hour or so after preorders opened
