I always knew Evolutive Labs made tough cases. I've tested many over the last few years but the Rhinoshield MOD case is by far the toughest and coolest case I've seen from them yet. Spoiler alert, I do break my iPhone in the MOD but it took quite a bit of effort to do so. How many feet do you think it had to fall before it failed? The MOD takes the best of the Crashguard and Playproofs and becomes this highly customizable case that can be a bumper, a full-case and a camera case with a couple of add-ons.

Well, this is Evolutive Lab’s newest case and I like what they’ve done with it. I’ve been using the Evolutive Labs Rhinoshield MOD for the last few weeks and if you’re looking to change up how you’ve been using iPhone cases, check out MOD. The standout feature for me is the modularity of the case. I love the idea of being able to swap between a bumper and full case, being able to swap out the awesome buttons and being able to slap a camera lens on the case without having to compromise the protection of my iPhone. For my Mod review, I’ve given this case a score of 4.2 Eh’s out of 5. The biggest downside of this case is the handling as the edges of the case are quite slick. The removable back plate offsets the slickness as bit but the entire setup still handles close to a wet bar of soap. With the Mod, you can use it as either a full case or a bumper. To go between the two, all you have to do is pull out the rim and install the back plate. If you buy the lens attachments, that goes around the camera area. The buttons aren’t actually attached to the frame but don’t worry about losing them when you remove your iPhone. The buttons are relatively secured to the frame. The Mod will seem quite flimsy without an iPhone in it but trust me, it’s solid when you’ve got everything installed. I was initially a little apprehensive with the camera mount on the prototypes that I was sent but the production units don’t come apart easily which is great. What’s great about this setup is the fact that you can REALLY make the case your own. You can easily swap out the rims for a different color or the buttons to give your iPhone a unique look. When it comes to bulk, the new Mod is thin but wide. This may be an issue for people who are using the Mod with the bigger iPhone 8 Plus since it will make that device quite wide. For wear and tear, Evolutive Labs says the Mod has an improved stain resistant coating. Evolutive Labs says that to clean it, all you have to do is use some rubbing alcohol and for the most part it works. Which is great. If you get the Mod and say your jeans rub off on the case, use some rubbing alcohol to remove the stain. Trying to tear the Mod or the Crashguard apart was pretty tough. Trying to pull the bumpers apart was near impossible. Even with my best attempts, I didn’t feel either one of the products stretch which is neat considering I can take this 10 dollar bumper and do awful things to it. Despite this setback, I did discover that the Mod is much tougher old Crashguard since I could crack the side of the bumper. I could not do the same with the Mod. When it comes to accessing your iPhone, the Mod has some of the best buttons that I have ever used on a case. Most case manufacturers integrate the buttons into the case and will make refinements to the case until the buttons feel close to a naked iPhone. With the Mod, Evolutive Labs made the buttons removable so it has a more natural click than other cases which is great. The cutout for the camera area doesn’t interfere with taking pictures, the cutout at the bottom of the case can handle any sized Lightning cable. The edges of the case do not interfere with screen access and is definitely compatible with a the 9H Tempered glass screen protector offered by Evolutive Labs. With all things considered, I am quite pleased with the Rhinoshield MOD. Definitely one of the best cases I've used in the last few years. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subscribe to stay in the loop!
