RHINOSHIELD's AirX case has secured a GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS™ title after surviving an extreme drop from 30,607 meters in the stratosphere. The test validates unprecedented space-grade protection.

  • RHINOSHIELD AirX set a Guinness World Record for the highest mobile phone drop in a case.
  • The test was conducted at 30,607 meters (100,416 feet) above Earth.
  • The device survived extreme stratospheric temperatures of -60°C.
  • The AirX case features a 100% recyclable, circular mono-material design.

In a historic feat of engineering and resilience, RHINOSHIELD, a global leader in protective tech accessories, has officially claimed a GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS™ title. The company's flagship AirX Ultra-Cushioned Phone Case successfully endured an extreme near-space drop test at the Esrange Space Center in Sweden, reaching a staggering altitude of 30,607 meters (100,416 feet).

Redefining Space-Grade Protection

The mission, conducted in partnership with the UK-based aerospace firm Sent Into Space, involved releasing an iPhone 17 Pro from the stratosphere. This altitude is more than three times the typical cruising altitude of a commercial airliner. The challenge was designed to test the limits of device protection against the three extremes of near space: stratospheric cold, ultra-low pressure, and high-velocity ground impact.

"This world record is more than a validation of our product's performance; it demonstrates that circular design does not have to mean compromise," stated Eric Wang, Co-founder and CEO of RHINOSHIELD.

Why This Matters

BozokMedia analysis shows that this achievement marks a paradigm shift in the mobile accessory industry. Most manufacturers focus on 'military-grade' protection, but RHINOSHIELD has pushed the boundaries into 'space-grade' protection. Furthermore, the AirX case utilizes a circular, mono-material design, proving that high-performance protection can be 100% recyclable, addressing growing environmental concerns in the tech sector.

Surviving the Extremes

During its 25-minute descent, the device was exposed to temperatures plummeting between -40°C and -60°C and atmospheric pressure at just 1% of sea level. Unlike standard tests, no heating equipment was used to protect the device from the cold. Upon recovery from the Swedish wilderness via GPS tracking, a Guinness World Records official confirmed that the phone remained fully operational, capable of making calls and taking photos despite the violent impact.

Did You Know?: The stratosphere is a layer of the atmosphere where temperatures actually increase with altitude, but the lower reaches where this drop occurred are brutally cold.
