1st Screen and phone protector combo

[Crisisx1]

Picked up the McClaren 5g version from T-Mobile yesterday, and I'm in love with the phone, throughout. Beautiful design, hardware, software. Everything.
I wanted a protective case however did not want to cover the beautiful back.

I figure the combo is cheap enough that I can get something else if this doesn't fit my needs.

Anyone else tried either of the two products?

What combo are you referring to? (No link or images provided.)

RhinoShield has the Crash Guard bumper & a clear skin for the backside (screen protector also available).


This combo definitely fits what you're looking for.
As with all of the Crash Guard bumpers, it adds quite a bit of an increase to the overall width of the phone. If that isn't a factor one way or the other, I'd say you need to look no further.

I'm sure there's some aluminum bumpers available from eBay & the like, but, they offer little to no protection & likely have an even more uncomfortable grip vs the included case or, the RhinoShield Bumper.

THX for posting the pix. :good:

There's several different mfgs with this design to be found on Amazon/e-Bay/Ali Express, etc......

I like the idea of clear cases in general, but, most seem to have some nagging traits....
The rainbow effect comes to mind right off the bat, as well as being a fingerprint magnet.
Most don't wear well after a few weeks of use, with scuffs/scratches.
A matte clear case may negate most of the above, but, likely will obscure the true appearance of the decorative backside.

I've seen some all-glass cases, encasing the entire phone, front & back, might not be a bad way to go.

I've had luck with uag clear cases, however, as you know they aren't truly 100% transparent and clear due to their honey comb pattern design.

That all glass case is a pretty interesting design, never seen it before. I wouldn't imagine it would look as good after 3,4 drops compared to a plastic /poly case.

I'm definitely not opposed to trying a different combo if this one doesn't work, as it was less than 20 dollars. I did look into the dome whitestone glass sp, however I'm opposed to applying an actual adhesive to my screen.

Any other decent glass sp that doesn't require adhesive?

Here's the case. After closely examining the edges of the phone and case, I am not sure this screen protector will be compatible as I will interfere at edges and pull up.

The screen protector and case fit perfectly. A bit different installation method then what I'm usually used to, but got it perfect on the second try. Very pleased.

Here is pic trying to show the case edge and sp slight separation. A bit hard to see, but at $8 for 3 sp, I'm surprised by the quality of the sp.

Update.. I've been using the 7t pro mclaren case with the sp and fits flawlessly

Your case isn't even compatible with the phone. You are covering the laser autofocus area on the back. The 7 Pro cases don't have the necessary cutout. You need a 7T Pro case.

I know this was already addressed in a different thread. No longer using that case. Now using the one that came with the mclaren.

I will get my OP7T Pro in two weeks and I'm going to buy exactly this combination. I am curious if everything fits.

It fits nicely like it is made for each other. it has maybe 1mm gap between the glass protector and case.
