The replacement buttons I got with my sheath are fine? Guess I’m lucky, then. Or it only applies to certain colors (I got silver and blush buttons).
Got a tip for us?

Oh btw he’s also planning on drop testing the PR Gen7, which would be a first I think? I’m very curious about that. No one else seems to have dared to test the PR cases this year (except that one guy over on Tik Tok who keeps throwing his phones across a yard and into a Basketball hoop…)

I suspect this will be the new normal. To go along with delayed Prime deliveries.
I just ordered some cables from AnkerDirect, which uses FBA as their logistics provider.
Won't be surprised if A) they aren't delivered on time, and B) they are returned items, like the previous order.
That's one of the best parts of fine leather goods! 😉

I'm surprised his orange buttersoft still functions after the hundreds of drops, he's put it through.

He said in the video he has some chips on the screen from the Apple clear case drop test.

Seriously! Every drop makes me wince.
I guess that speaks for all the cases he’s tested so far.
I have read many people complain the Mous Limitless isn't worth the price and also the case has warping issues overtime.
He is using the Marine Blue and I have read many people saying that material on the back of the case doesn't age well and it stains overtime.

The thing is, he didn’t even drop test the clear case. It was his daily driver case and he accidentally dropped it and that started his drop testing series because he now has trust issues. Understandably 😂

Nice, informative review—the drop tests are great. The Mous really held up well. It’s pricey, but considering the full poly frame, TPE corners, and pretty extreme resistance to scuffing, it seems to warrant the price.

Well the people complaining are always the loudest. I personally have not had issues with my Mous cases. My 2,5 year old speckled fabric case on my husbands 15PM is still going strong (he’s not being careful with it).
But I guess using it daily for a year and putting it through the wringer will wear a lot of cases out. I swap a lot so my cases last longer of course.
Oh I understand
When it comes to cases, it's all opinions.
It's just I have read a lot of negative reviews about the Mous Marine Limitless.

You could try one with a different back, like leather or aramid fiber, if you are unsure about the durability of the fabric backs?

Mous is huge, far larger than most of the brands discussed here, so the pool of complainers is also larger. I’ve been using their cases since day one and have never had any of the issues you described.
The price/value equation, of course, is subjective…

I see bunch of reviews on Amazon showing pictures of their CC button that fell off 🙄
Oh, I am not going to buy the case. I was going to, but the reviews have put me off, especially considering how expensive the case it.
I wanted a case with a soft back so the ones that have fabric backs are the only ones I would go for. My friend has the Aramid Fibre, and I didn't like how hard it felt in the hand.

Ok there is 4729 reviews from Amazon for the 17 pro max Mous. Not all people leave reviews, in fact a small % do. So let’s say 14k were sold on Amazon. Then a bunch is a small %.
How is the Magsafe indent on the Sheath this time around? Did they finally manage to fix it or does it still show up after a while? Been thinking of getting an open Gray one just like yours.

You would not be happy with the fabric backs then, either. Because the fabric is coated and thus not really soft, more like... smooth.

Yeah on amazon.de there are 80 reviews for the marine blue Mous, with 2x1 Star and 7x2 Star ratings. The complaints are mostly "color doesn't match the blue iPhone", some complaints about the weak magsafe, one has scratches on the phone because they didn't clean the dust from under the case, one person has a shattered Torras screen protector (that, upon closer inspection of the provided photo, seems to have touched the case in the corner and thus bore the force of the fall) and one has a loose CC button.
There are bound to be QC issues with this volume of cases. We had them on almost all case manufactures reviewed here.
I had two gray ones that had other defects including the indent which were returned. I hated the clunky feel of the Sheath anyway, but the issue still persists.
