With the launch of the iPhone 17 series and iPhone Air, Apple also released several different types of original protective cases and accessories. These included a new textured protective case made from a special technical fabric woven from 100% recycled polyester, cases made from silicone, and a clear case provided by Apple. However, for more personalized style options and more complete protection, third-party protective cases and accessories offer more choices. ▲Apple releases several different types of original protective cases and accessories for the iPhone 17 series and iPhone Air. What are the advantages and disadvantages of Apple's original protective cases? Apple's original protective cases and accessories are designed to fit the corresponding models, avoiding the slight tolerance issues that some third-party accessories may have. The overall design style is also closer to the iPhone model. However, their impact resistance and drop resistance may be inferior, and the variety of choices is not as great as third-party accessories. ▲From left to right: silicone case designed for the iPhone 17 series, translucent case designed for the iPhone Air, and clear case designed for the iPhone 17 series. Apple also released a special textured case for the iPhone 17 Pro series this year. For the entire iPhone series, silicone and clear cases are available, while the iPhone Air features a thinner translucent case with a reinforced polycarbonate frame to highlight its lightweight design. However, when using Apple's new lanyard accessory, note that currently only the clear case lacks left and right connection points for securing the lanyard. Furthermore, for third-party lanyard clips, the clear case and the translucent case designed for the iPhone Air have an open bottom edge, making them unsuitable for use with clips. ▲The transparent case designed for the iPhone 17 Pro Max is controversial because of the large white layer covering the back. ▲Apple's transparent case has an open bottom, making it difficult to install third-party straps. ▲The advantage of the original case is that it fits the iPhone model better and also has a good feel. ▲A semi-transparent case designed for the iPhone Air, but the Frost color looks almost identical to the transparent case… ▲There are additional connection points on the bottom left and right sides for the newly launched slanted strap accessory. ▲It also fits the shape of the iPhone Air…

As smartphones increasingly enhance their photography and performance, their internal structures have become more sophisticated. Accidental drops no longer just result in scratches on the casing or cracked screens; they can also cause "internal damage" to critical components such as the camera module and motherboard. To address this challenge, RHINOSHIELD has launched the new AirX Ultimate Cushioning Phone Case. Through a novel "impact isolation cushion" and "high-toughness pressure-resistant structure," it creates a unique "internal damage protection composite system," essentially equipping the phone with an "airbag." It instantly disperses up to 81% of the impact force upon a drop, redefining the standard for phone drop protection. Unlike traditional phone cases that absorb impact force through direct contact, AirX employs a multi-layered structure: first, the "impact isolation cushion" absorbs the initial impact energy; then, the "high-toughness pressure-resistant structure" and "energy diversion channels" guide and divert the impact force, preventing shockwaves from reaching the core areas of the phone and reducing potential internal damage such as camera module displacement and motherboard damage. The AirX features a 360° wraparound airbag design, protecting even the side buttons, providing immediate cushioning from drops of any angle. ShockSpread material further enhances its overall durability by up to 30 times. Beyond its upgraded protection, the AirX prioritizes everyday comfort and sustainability, incorporating dual-sided decompression air chambers on the sides of the casing. Combined with an ergonomic grip curve, it maintains a stable and fatigue-free feel even during extended use. The exterior is presented in two tech-inspired color schemes: "Essential Black" and "Flowing Gray," showcasing the internal structure. It utilizes a single recyclable material, achieving 100% recycling. Also launched is the new generation SolidX reinforced shock-absorbing phone case, inheriting the classic SolidSuit design language and featuring a hidden cushioning structure at the corners and edges for optimal impact reduction by 71%. Made of smooth, stain-resistant TPE material, it offers up to 10 colors with tens of thousands of patterns and customization options, allowing for both protection and personal style. AirX officially launched on July 2nd, initially supporting the entire iPhone 15 Pro, iPhone 15 Pro Max, and iPhone 16 series, with a suggested retail price starting at NT$1680. It supports MagSafe and boasts twice the magnetic force of the original iPhone. SolidX, on the other hand, has a suggested retail price starting at NT$980, offering a lighter and more convenient option for everyday drop protection.

RhinoShield unveiled its first project under the CircularBlue clean-up initiative, "ChangeMaker," a floating marine debris filtration platform featuring intelligent, modular, and low-energy design. Deployed off the coast of Tainan's Golden Coast, it is expected to begin offshore trial operations this year. Through innovative technology and system integration, it provides scalable and sustainable nearshore waste management solutions. Coastal plastic pollution is a problem closer than you think. Statistics show that over 1270 million tons of plastic flow into the ocean annually, with 80% returning to shore within a month. This type of "nearshore debris" is often overlooked, becoming a major source of microplastics. RhinoShield's CircularBlue project targets this blind spot of "nearshore marine debris management," using mechanized, modular, and intelligent methods for effective interception and subsequent recycling. The "ChangeMaker" features a modular design and multi-purpose applications, measuring 12 x 12 x 9.4 meters with an empty weight of approximately 62 tons. Its modular structure comprises a "marine mothership platform + unmanned reconnaissance aircraft + unmanned garbage ship," employing a dual-mode recycling system. The unmanned reconnaissance aircraft uses AI to analyze marine debris images and automatically pinpoint locations, while the unmanned garbage ship receives GPS positioning, travels to target locations to collect debris, and returns. A central control room integrates information to monitor the real-time operation of each module (battery, GPS, range, etc.). Furthermore, the "ChangeMaker" platform also provides water quality and ecological monitoring and educational research applications, and can be expanded into a marine observation station or environmental education platform in the future. A New Solution to the Circular Economy: From "Recycling" to "Application of Recycled Materials" Rhino Shield has recently focused on "plastics management" as its corporate development direction, from...

Addressing the needs of gamers, protective case and accessory manufacturer RHINOSHIELD has announced the RhinoBuff FPS Precision Control Kit for the iPhone 14 and iPhone 15 series. Utilizing patented inductive technology, this kit adds two extra buttons to iPhones that previously lacked shoulder buttons, enabling trigger and other button controls required for first-person shooter games. The RhinoBuff FPS Precision Control Kit's shock-resistant frame, made with ShockSpread material, provides impact protection exceeding military standards. The removal of the back cover ensures efficient heat dissipation during gameplay, resulting in a lighter overall weight. The added shoulder buttons utilize the natural inductive principle of the human body; a light finger press generates a potential difference, creating a pressure signal for operation. Combined with customizable button controls (by changing the position of virtual buttons on the screen), this allows for more natural grip and operation in most first-person shooter games. In addition, the gaming screen protector launched in conjunction with the RhinoBuff FPS Precision Control Kit features a special matte finish to reduce touch resistance, fingerprints, and glare. It also includes an installation guide to help users apply the screen protector correctly, preventing it from becoming crooked when applied manually. The RhinoBuff FPS Precision Control Kit is currently priced from NT$2050 and is only available in black.

After launching its "invisible phone case" April Fool's Day project a few years ago, Rhino Shield has finally released its Clear series of transparent phone cases this year. These cases are touted as being made with BPA-free material to prevent yellowing, offering military-grade drop protection, and featuring customizable camera module bezels and button colors, as well as a convenient lanyard accessory for wearing the phone. ▲Compared to the colorful protective cases/frames of the past, designing transparent cases is actually more challenging because transparent materials are more prone to fogging and yellowing over time. For example, many inexpensive transparent cases on the market typically start to yellow after a period of use. Therefore, Rhino Shield's Clear series transparent phone cases are also made with BPA-free, plasticizer-free, and food-grade materials, and use ShockSpread material with military-grade drop resistance. They also boast a 168-hour (6-day) anti-yellowing and material aging test to withstand UV radiation, high temperatures, and dew. Furthermore, they offer a free replacement case within 5 years of purchase if yellowing occurs, demonstrating their confidence in their transparent phone cases. While offering a transparent design, Rhino Shield provides both transparent and smoky gray options in the Clear series. The version I received was transparent, making it easy to see the phone's original color, while the smoky gray version adds a hazy effect, and even slight dirt is less noticeable. ▲Compared to Apple's original leather cases, the Clear series also allows for interchangeable buttons and accessories in terms of customization. This time, the main camera bezel is also interchangeable, and a lanyard and lanyard loop have been added to the bottom for attaching to the neck. Therefore, there are a total of 1200 color combinations, including 2 phone cases, 8 main camera bezels, 26 volume and power button options, 6 lanyards, and 3 lanyard loops. For even more personalization, stickers or paint graffiti can be used to give the transparent phone case different styles. As for the lanyard accessory design, it is made from recycled textiles and recycled yarn from PET bottles, while the slider and lanyard loop are made from recycled back panel materials. The lanyard loop is installed from the inside of the phone case outwards. The loop has anti-torsion and anti-pull properties, and the two ends of the lanyard are secured with a twist, so there's virtually no chance of accidental "unhooking" that could cause the phone to fall and get damaged. The slider between the lanyards allows for quick adjustment of the lanyard length, facilitating switching between neck-wearing and carrying modes. ▲The Clear series transparent phone case, once installed, gives the phone a very high-quality look. While it adds some thickness and weight compared to the original case, it also provides more protection. It can be matched with different colored main camera bezels and buttons, and the lanyard accessory allows for additional hanging options, even allowing the phone to display its original color, which is certainly eye-catching. However, there are some minor drawbacks. For example, the thickness of the phone case significantly reduces the strength of the MagSafe magnetic attachment, so users using MagSafe accessories should be aware of this. Additionally, while Rhino Shield touts its Clear series transparent phone cases as being oil-resistant over time, this doesn't mean they're completely free of oil stains. The glossy surface also makes them more prone to fingerprints, meaning users who are concerned about this might need to wipe the case frequently (and may need to avoid using alcohol-based liquids for cleaning). Another minor point of contention is the removal of the side-mounted lanyard hole, replacing it with a bottom-mounted lanyard loop. Another concern is the lanyard length; currently, only a length suitable for wearing around the neck or body is available, not a wrist-length option. Hopefully, Rhino Shield will consider offering more length options. However, the overall design of the Clear series transparent phone cases is quite minimalist, without any unnecessary embellishments, making them ideal for users who prefer simple phone cases. ▲This version is not a commercially available product and comes in a special box.▲The main slogan "Let you, Be you" is printed on it.▲Upon opening, you'll find the Clear series transparent phone case and lanyard accessory.▲It boasts military-grade compliance, BPA-free design, anti-yellowing properties, and personalization features.▲A total of 8 main camera bezel designs and 26 volume and power button designs.▲The Clear series transparent phone case features a minimalist design with no unnecessary details.▲It also maintains a clean and transparent design from the side.▲The main camera bezel is removable and replaceable.▲Each color option is available.▲The phone case and lanyard accessory will also be sold in new environmentally friendly packaging.▲The lanyard loop is installed outwards through the speaker hole at the bottom of the phone case, so there's no need to worry about it falling off easily...

With increasing environmental awareness in recent years, Rhino Shield has also switched to eco-friendly packaging for its new iPhone 13 series phone cases this year. The simplified packaging design, a departure from the somewhat excessive packaging of the past, emphasizes a significant reduction in plastic usage. According to Rhino Shield, this year's reduced-plastic packaging uses eco-friendly inks made from soybean materials and recycled paper. Furthermore, simple cutting and bonding methods reduce the need for further processing and adhesives. Rhino Shield states that reducing single-use plastic usage will reduce plastic consumption by approximately 56 metric tons per year, equivalent to about 12 square meters, or roughly the area of ​​16 sports fields. Currently, in addition to phone cases, accessories such as screen protectors and earphone cases also feature the new packaging design. While some plastic is still used, it is significantly reduced compared to the past, and Rhino Shield may follow Apple's lead in adopting completely plastic-free packaging. Because the button layout and camera design of the iPhone 13 series are slightly different, cases designed for the iPhone 12 series cannot be used with the iPhone 13 series. However, the screen protector previously designed by Rhino Shield for the iPhone 12 series features a fully transparent design for the TrueDepth camera lens, so it can still be used even though the notch width of the iPhone 13 series is reduced by 20%. Rhino Shield also emphasizes that the screen is protected with its impact-resistant materials. As for phone cases, Rhino Shield continues to offer the Mod NX series, which provides both frame protection and additional back cover protection, with interchangeable buttons and accessories. They also offer the SolidSuit, which includes a back cover and features a unibody design. Additionally, they offer the CrashGuard or CrashGuard NX series, which only protect the phone's frame. These cases meet or exceed the US military standard MIL-STD 810G, absorbing impacts from a 3.5-meter drop, and feature an internal honeycomb structure that absorbs an additional 10% of the impact. However, Rhino Shield also emphasizes that while phone cases are primarily designed to resist drops and absorb impact, they may become loose, deformed, or even crack due to impacts or prolonged use. In such cases, it is recommended to replace them immediately to avoid losing their protective effect and causing damage to the phone. ▲The new packaging uses environmentally friendly ink printing, and the design is also much simpler. ▲However, to avoid scratches and to include an adhesive tool, the screen protector still uses plastic as packaging, but this may be further simplified in the future. ▲Compared to previous protective case packaging, this year's packaging significantly reduces the proportion of plastic used. ▲The internal honeycomb structure can absorb an additional 10% of impact force. ▲The side of the protective case also provides holes for attaching charms and straps. ▲It uses an impact-resistant material design, which also has a certain degree of toughness to protect the phone. ▲Compared to the original leather protective accessories, the Rhino Shield is indeed thicker after installation, but it can protect the phone well. ▲A screen protector for the iPhone 12 series has been launched before. Since the TrueDepth camera area is fully transparent, it can still be used for the iPhone 13 series. ▲The state of the protective case and screen protector after installation. ▲The state of the protective case after installation. ▲The state of the protective case after installation.

Following its launch of protective cases and accessories for the iPhone and Apple Watch series, Rhino Shield has expanded its product line to the AirPods series. Using its impact-resistant material, which boasts no plasticizers and no bisphenol A (BPA), the cases provide ample protection for AirPods and AirPods Pro. They also offer a variety of vibrant colors, color-blocking options, and custom engraving services to personalize the product. ▲The new Rhino Shield AirPods series protective cases use the same material as previously released cases. The protective cases used by Rhino Shield for the AirPods series also boast no plasticizers and no BPA, and meet US military standard MIL-STD 810G design, providing impact resistance against drops from 120 cm vertically. The interior is further protected by impact-absorbing rubber material to prevent surface scratches or damage from drops. The design features a split top and bottom, allowing users to choose styles with the same color scheme for both top and bottom, or to create their own color combinations on the official website. A total of six matte pink color options are available: graphite black, pale yellow, white, mint green, peacock blue, and cherry blossom pink, offering up to 36 color combinations. Customized text in gold or silver and over 60 different patterns can also be printed on the screen. Unfortunately, it currently only supports English letters and does not offer Chinese characters. ▲Rhino Shield also offers customized hot stamping services for text, but currently only English letters are supported. ▲A total of six matte color options are available: graphite black, light yellow, white, mint green, sky blue, and cherry blossom pink, providing up to 36 color combinations. Gold or silver customized text and over 60 patterns are also available for hot stamping, but unfortunately, only English letters are supported at present; Chinese characters are not available. ▲The inner side is covered with impact-resistant and scratch-resistant soft rubber. ▲The protective case features a split design, allowing users to easily match different colors. ▲Installation and removal are quite simple; just push the AirPods in to install, or push them out from the bottom opening to remove the protective case. ▲A gap is exposed at the back for easy opening of the top cover. ▲To install, simply slip the protective case accessories into the AirPods or AirPods Pro. To replace them, simply pull them open or push the AirPods out from the bottom opening to easily remove the protective case and replace it with another color or style. In addition, Rhino Shield also provides a matte metal hook on the protective case, allowing users to hang AirPods on bags, pockets, etc., making it convenient for users to carry their AirPods. Furthermore, even with the protective case on, the AirPods can still be charged via wired or wireless means. Currently, the complete set of protective cases for AirPods is sold for NT$490, while the AirPods Pro version is NT$550. If you need to purchase the matching top cover accessory separately, it will be sold together for NT$60 (the original price of a single set is NT$100). Rhino Shield's new AirPods series protective cases are now available for pre-order and are expected to be officially launched in early July this year. Consumers can also get an additional discount through the discount code "20PAMD-AC". ▲Comparison with commonly sold protective cases made of soft rubber material▲Comparison with the included metal hook▲The included metal hook allows you to hang AirPods on your pants or bag.  

Rhino Shield, which previously released various protective cases for iPhone models, as well as Google Pixel, Samsung Galaxy, and ASUS ZenFone models, recently announced a collaboration with Disney in response to the movie *Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker*. Through licensing, they have created 40 different *Star Wars*-themed modular phone cases, including the Mod NX, and also offer a SolidSuit unibody back cover. This allows users to personalize their phones with a *Star Wars* theme while ensuring their safety. The licensed *Star Wars* phone cases from Rhino Shield's collaboration with Disney focus on the earliest *Star Wars* trilogy. Therefore, the images feature characters and vehicles such as Darth Vader, Stormtroopers, the Millennium Falcon, X-Wing, TIE Fighters, R2-D2, C3PO, and Chewbacca, providing a nostalgic experience for longtime *Star Wars* fans. The packaging features Star Wars images and logos, with the Star Wars logo also printed on the back. This particular case is a Mod NX model, with a removable and replaceable back panel. Compared to the previous Rhino Shield design, this Disney-collaborated back panel features a 3D texture, making the image more three-dimensional and also more durable. The SolidSuit and Mod NX cases with Star Wars designs are basically the same as the previous models, with removable buttons that allow users to freely replace them with buttons of different colors to add personalization. The Mod NX back panel is also removable and replaceable, but the frame is the same as other Mod NX cases without any special Star Wars elements. Unlike the custom-printed back panels offered by Rhino Shield, the Star Wars series features a special material with 3D printing, providing users with a different tactile experience, a three-dimensional visual feel, and enhanced durability. The material is also made of non-toxic, BPA-free PU. The Star Wars licensed phone cases are now officially available on the Rhino Shield website, including the SolidSuit unibody back cover phone case, the SolidSuit 3D version, and the Mod NX modular phone case with replaceable back panels. Entering the discount code "19PMD-SW" at checkout will also grant you exclusive Star Wars fan discounts.

Last year, RhinoShield launched three major series of protective cases for the iPhone: SolidSuit, CrashGuardNX, and ModNX. This year, RhinoShield is again releasing protective cases for the new iPhone 11 series. RhinoShield's new iPhone 11 series maintains the colorful design trend. The SolidSuit series emphasizes complete all-around protection for the back, while the CrashGuardNX series features a reinforced frame design and allows users to install additional transparent or custom-patterned back covers. Users can also change the button colors. The ModNX series is similar to the CrashGuardNX series, but includes a transparent back cover in the box, unlike the CrashGuardNX series which only includes a transparent screen protector. The newly launched protective cases and accessories are all made of ShockSpread, a tough material that provides sufficient strength for drop and tear resistance, as well as resistance to deformation and high elasticity. Combined with a special honeycomb structure design inside the case, it boasts an additional 10% impact absorption. All cases meet the MIL-STD 810G US military standard drop test, providing protection against drops from a vertical distance of 1.2 meters, and even up to 3.5 meters. Furthermore, all Rhino Shield cases meet US FDA food-grade safety standards, guaranteeing they are free of BPA, BPS, BPF, and other commonly used plastic chemicals. Even if children or pets chew on the case, the material itself will not cause any problems. The cases are available in SolidSuit, CrashGuardNX, and ModNX series. While installing them on iPhone 11 series phones may make the phone appear larger, they emphasize drop and tear resistance while still allowing for comfortable grip. The cases also allow for attaching wristbands, neckbands, or other charms via lanyard holes. With its multiple color options and interchangeable buttons, decorative strips, and diverse back cover designs, the CrashGuard NX series of protective cases allows users to customize their preferred color combinations or graphic designs. This time, the case accessories are designed specifically for the iPhone 11 series. While the iPhone 11 Pro series has a slightly different button opening position compared to last year's iPhone XS series, resulting in a new case design, the button positions on the iPhone 11 and iPhone XR remain unchanged, making the CrashGuard NX series interchangeable with the iPhone XR. The ModNX series also shares the same frame, but due to the different opening shape of the rear main camera module, the included transparent back cover accessory cannot be directly used with the iPhone XR; this must be noted when purchasing. Last year's case for the iPhone XS Max can also be used on the iPhone 11 Pro Max, but the left mute switch will not align due to a slight difference in the hole position. Regarding protective cases for older models, Rhino Shield emphasized that they will continue to provide protective case accessories for older iPhones, as well as for Apple devices that are also being updated...

Following Samsung's official launch of the Galaxy Note 10 series flagship phones, Rhinoshield also released its SolidSuit and CrashGuard series protective cases and accessories for the Galaxy Note 10 and Galaxy Note 10+. They also offer full-coverage impact-resistant curved screen protectors for the front and back, providing more comprehensive drop protection. This review focuses on the SolidSuit series case, which provides full coverage to ensure drop protection even in the event of an accidental fall, without affecting the functionality of the Galaxy Note 10's dual-curved screen. Like their previous cases, the SolidSuit series for the Galaxy Note 10 utilizes Rhinoshield's proprietary ShockSpread material technology, meeting US military-grade drop test standards and claiming to be free of the toxic substance BPA. The overall design is not overly bulky; while it adds some thickness and weight, it remains within acceptable limits, especially for male users, providing a more substantial grip. The SolidSuit series protective case we received features a unibody, fully enclosed design, completely covering the back of the device while also protecting the surrounding frame. In addition to the standard USB-C port, microphone, speaker, and S Pen mounting holes, the case also includes holes for attaching a wrist strap or lanyard. Designed to complement the dual-curved screen of the Galaxy Note 10 series, this case ensures frame protection while allowing users to freely use the curved screen's side-swipe menu function without interference during normal operation. Regarding materials, besides the classic matte black finish, Rhino Shield also offers a special version with a carbon fiber exterior, as well as collaborations with KID (Lin Po-sheng) and Cherng (Malaysian tapir), and even more designer designs in collaboration with Rhino Shield. Users can even choose personalized customization options, including customizable text cases with customizable text and layout, metal foil-printed cases with customizable English words, colors, and fonts, and jersey-themed cases that can be easily customized by simply inputting numbers, text, and background colors. Compared to the fully enclosed SolidSuit series cases, the CrashGuard series emphasizes the protection of the phone's back bezel. Therefore, users of the Galaxy Note 10 series in the special Star Ring Silver color might choose this case for a lighter weight and sufficient bezel protection to ensure the phone's safety in case of drops. For additional protection, the CrashGuard series cases can still achieve the same level of protection as the SolidSuit series cases by adding an extra cover, but this may lack the impact resistance of a one-piece design and be heavier overall. ※Related Link》 With Qualcomm processors, how to choose the Galaxy Note 10 series sold in Taiwan?
