What do we think about the Mous camera plateau cover design?
I think it would be better with precise cutouts like the Sheath or Paragon?

I want one of these with the MagSafe on back, like Amazon link below, BUT ribbed on the sides like the Caudabe Veil.

I know it’s just packaging but for $60 bucks this is the best Catalyst could do?! It’s the same packaging no name cases from Amazon come in.

I’ll report back after some use on how it is.
Btw, this is what the Catalyst Influence package looks like when not ordered from Amazon:

I just had to try one myself after holding my old 14 Pro in the Influence. And honestly... I'm kinda loving it?

Like, I expected a disaster... but it fits, buttons are good (CC button sits in a little dip, which I love) and it feels great? Sorta smooth-ish with no sharp edges. The case is a little softer than the previous generations, meaning no wrestling the stiff case on and off the phone (huge plus), but it's probably also not as protective anymore. The screen lip on the front is minimal, but there. It's the clear version, which is really a frosted version. I miss the plastic buttons with the little ridges on them the 14 still has, I'm not a huge fan of aluminium buttons. Also miss the slightly more grippy texture of the previous versions. But this still might be my favorite clear case I have for the 17 right now.
 
I’ve seen complaints about alignment issues with just about every case with precise round cutouts. This seems likes a more forgiving design.
Zagg has a similar camera layout which allows a little more forgiveness

New updated Tank with shiny CC button in the hooch 🙄
Also has the new improved split buttons, WOW 😛

How does it compare to the prior version? I apparently had a new(ish) version that had updated power and volume buttons but not the cc.

The fit and finish of my copy was pretty bad, and did not feel like contacting their support for an exchange or troubleshooting.
