Smartphones have become essential digital lifelines, storing everything from personal memories to business-critical data. While traditional “military grade” cases focus solely on preventing exterior cracks, AirX goes further. It's the first case engineered to protect your phone's internal systems, even during the most extreme drops.
AirX is constructed with a dual-layer structural system, featuring an air chamber and a compression skeleton, that absorbs and disperses impact energy before it can reach the device's core. RHINOSHIELD's precision-engineered impact-spillway geometry channels force away from vulnerable internal components, especially in the phone's high-risk corners. This engineering delivers 81% impact absorption – outperforming leading competitors in third-party drop tests.
The AirX case ensures comprehensive protection from every angle. Whether a phone falls on its edge, back or face, AirX delivers multi-angle protection through surround air-cushion chambers, reinforced corners and sidewalls, raised front and back lips, and built-in buffer pillars around buttons and the camera. Even under extreme drop tests – including engineered test machine drops with internal damage monitoring system and 18-meter (59-foot) drops onto concrete – AirX preserved the phone's structural and functional integrity.
In addition to elite performance, AirX is:
— Mono-material and 100% recyclable, built withRHINOSHIELD's proprietary TPE
— MagSafe compatible
— Lightweight, at just 1.5 ounces – the lightest in its performance class
AirX fits the iPhone 15 Pro, the iPhone 15 Pro Max and the full iPhone 16 series and is now available via Rhinoshield.io, with Amazon.com availability starting in August. The Original version is US$62.99. The Design Your Own version starts at US$65.99, whileIP collaborations and special designs start at US$68.99.
