RHINOSHIELD Bumper Case Compatible with Apple Watch Series 8/7 [45mm] | Slim Protective Cover - Lightweight and Shock Absorbent - Black

Absolutely LOVE this case!! It blends in so well that it looks like it came with my Apple watch series 7 (41mm). The case does not interfere with the dial or the button on the side. My watch and case are both navy blue. I paired it with the ArmorSuit MilitaryShield Screen Protector (sold separately) and couldnt be happier. I actually forget that I am wearing a case. Highly recommended!!

I purchased and used this bumper case for a week, before ultimately deciding it’s not for me. The reason being, although it felt protective, it added a lot of bulk and simply changed the entire feel and sleekness of the Apple watch design. It’s also worth mentioning that if you plan of changing this watch case regularly or over long term use, it’s very possible that it can wear down the outer portion of the watch. The reason I say this, is the internal plastic that connects with the case is actually rather hard. Over long-term use and certainly with removing the case altogether on the regular, can add wear and tare. It’s surprising more companies are not simply creating a softer plastic on the inner surface (similar to a phone case) to protect the case. It’s also worth mentioning that I found a slight interference with the outer lip when trying to tap the outer corners of the screen (like when hitting back on the weather app, etc). This was due to the raised lip and how the bumper case overall fits on the screen. It wasn’t very intrusive, but noticeable at first. Ultimately, I returned it and I’m now trying out a bumper case by caseology. It’s much more form fitting, softer plastic (so I’m not concerned if I want to go bare on the weekends or when I’m at a more formal event). The caseology case (believe it’s the Nero design) has a very small lip around the screen so the added sleekness to the design may come at the sacrifice of some protection; although I could go the glass screen cover route if that’s a real concern; which would be ideal for either bumper case. If you need a tough case to protect your watch (if it takes abuse from work or the gym) I’d recommend something a bit more rugged with possibly the addition of a glass screen protector. If you’re looking for something sleek, I can not recommend this bumper either.

Okay, when the plastic version of this protector finally broke into a million pieces (exaggeration) I decided to give this item a try. Very similar to the Otter box it has no Gorilla glass on the front of it. Maybe its me and the Apple Watch doesnt need it? Anyway, this takes a little more effort to install. Taking the watch band off and placing it over the watch, snap it into place. Put the watch band back on. Ill let you know how this one fairs. I do like that it feels a bit lighter and I can actually use the touchscreen as intended. Keeping my fingers crossed. Here’s the update: it’s been just about a month and I’m happy to report that even though I was nervous about it the Rhino case does seem to be working out. The fact it wasn’t as heavy as the aforementioned “plastic cover case” that cracked I can hold onto the watch a little easier and therefore haven’t dropped it. My wrist feels sweaty at the end of a hot day. Also I have resorted to cleaning with a microfiber cloth almost daily and even multiple times a day to keep the face clean.

So to start off this bumper is the easiest bumper I have ever installed. First thing this bumper comes in two pieces. There is the main piece and a snap frame on the top. I personally did not read the instructions and thought it was all one piece and then thought i broke it when the frame snapped off. This snap frame makes it easy to install especially if you have a tpu film or another screen protector. My only concern is how durable this actually is. With the case being held together by that snap frame if any of those clips break the whole bumper becomes useless. I will use it until it breaks for now but i am happy with the product so far.

This ones easy to install and use (comes with instructions). I use this with the LK screen protectors, and this combo has saved my watch from a bunch of scrapes and bumps. My only critique is that it makes the watch look big and less formal, but once you get used to it, it just feels like a sports watch. Good protection.

I am clumsy so I need a bumper for my watch. It meets my needs and looks attractive.

This bumper does the trick. I needed something to prevent any major damage to my watch. This does exactly what I bought it for.

Easy install. Great fit. While has not been installed for long period have not experienced any problems.

I am impressed with the Rhinoshield Bumper case. For my previous watch I used a competing Otter product, which was more rubbery. After a while, the rubber stretched. The Rhinoshield Bumper Case is made from a harder plastic. This feels like it will not stretch. The case is two pieces, so it comes apart. You can customize the case with different colors. For example, keep the bottom beige and the top black. The case offers excellent protection against abrasions. It fits securely around the watch and provides ventilation so the watch will not get hot. For the pice point, you expect lower quality. However, everything about this from packaging to design is great quality.

If your looking to protect your watch then buy it
