i need to get a better hobby. here are some pics of the mous aramid thin case. it’s very nice. seemed to fit perfectly until i looked at my photos and i guess there’s a tiny bit of space on the bottom left corner where it doesn’t hug the phone. it’s not noticeable when looking at it or rubbing my finger across it, so it’s a non issue for me. feels great. nice and light. mous claims it weighs 25g. my scale said 22g. i prefer the plastic camera protector. when placing on a table i don’t hear that metal sound and it won’t scratch. it’s basically a skin and camera protector. i like it.
next up is the pr gen 7. it’s definitely my go to when i want a protective case. relatively thin. i didn’t weigh it, but it’s obviously on the heavy side. very nice case, excellent buttons. the case feels really thin because of the camera protector. it’s not as large as even the mous thin.
i’m currently back in the mous. who knows what tomorrow will bring.
Got a tip for us?

The Gen 7 looks cleaner than the Mous. I thought they would be both in the same protective category?
Probably just splitting hairs here but after reinstalling the case numerous times (for installing a new screen protector) I can feel that the bottom corners (charging port side) are a bit loose - as if the case is a bit deeper/higher there and I can hear a slight creaking when pushing the phone in.
May be this case needs a break-in period?

Lip of the case catches the skin and it just peels off.
You can apply skin to the bottom and two sides but not the top. Carefully pull the sides and insert iPhone. Then slide it down. Then snap the top corners.
Full back and Plateau should be ok.
Which case?Probably just splitting hairs here but after reinstalling the case numerous times (for installing a new screen protector) I can feel that the bottom corners (charging port side) are a bit loose - as if the case is a bit deeper/higher there and I can hear a slight creaking when pushing the phone in.

True that.
I dont use Magsafe Chargers on daily basis anyway. Only limited to when I travel.

What are you saying, the Sheath isn’t a tight fit?It’s my specialty
Anyway must try “open face” case like Mous.
No, it’s quite tight. Just the bottom corners… I am not sure what exactly wrong with them, feels like they are a bit higher or may be wider than the rest of a case? My theory - charging with magsafe doing something to the case structure. Again - I’m talking micro millimeters here
How many micro millimeters is it off?No, it’s quite tight.

Oh… Can’t measure it, also it’s possible with the right tool but as I writing this reply - squeezing the bottom corner makes a very slight, haptics-like click.
The PR is tempting. How’s the camera control button, does the bump get in the way at all?
The Phone Rebel sure does look sweet. Love that orange CC button.
Back to the TW otherwise? I truly haven’t found another case as good as it.
Both. But the right corner is more pronounced. Hopefully it’s an “break in” period, if not - I can live with it.
That's it for now 🤣 I returned the Tech Woven case because it didn't fit well in the top corners. I'll probably get either Apple Silicone or Paragon instead, but I can't decide yet
Ok, I see… I am not trying to bash any brand, also I’m quite liking the Sheath concept, just wanted to know if someone had the same “bugs” as I do…
I don’t squeeze it intentionally of course, just a normal human behavior as taking it out of the pocket etc.
