I do like the look of Mujjo cases but when I’ve had them in the last, they wear worse than the Apple cases did

I can second that. They look great brand new, but don't age well at all. I had a Mujjo on my Iphone XR and iPhone 12 and both were in the garbage by around day 90. Maybe they've improved since then... don't know but I do know I won't be buying one to find out.

Will see I am not rough on cases, I only buy black so may be different than the colours, bought from amazon so easy fix, I swap with a OB symmetry too.
Comfort and grip it's best I have tried.

Mujjo black 15 max.

Excellent can't fault it.
Exactly the same size as the FW, 7 grams heavier at 37 v 30.
Magsafe is better than my FW.
Buttons excellent.
Lip just right.
Pinky test excellent, soft lol.
Microfibre lining.
Grip is top notch melts into your hand, makes FW feel like a bar of soap.
Havn't tested for condom mark enough yet.

If you miss the apple leather case this is the one.
And much better than the nomad modern I tried twice.

I feel like a broken record with all these cases, but could they make that branding less noticeable? Darn it's just in your face. Can't do it.

Not sure that Mujjo leather is any better than Apple. I have a Mujjo for my 14pm, and the cutouts will cut right into your fingers. Buttons are terrible, and I don’t have a good feeling about the wear. The leather in the Apple cases may have peeled off the coating after wear, but it didn’t make them bad leather. But you can’t beat the fit or buttons. No leather case I have tried has come close to the buttons. My leather cases including Mujjo, Andar, Bellroy, and Bullstrap have subpar buttons. I would say Bullstrap is the best of the bunch, and it is better than subpar, but it’s certainly not Apple quality.

Agreed. Throw Ryan London in the mix too.

I haven’t tried Ryan London, but I have heard decent things. Although I would go full coverage, and the buttons look very similar to Andar which stick out way to far and are uncomfortable. Maybe they are better than I think.

Maybe, haven’t tested. Hard to believe though. The biggest thing is the colors are trash. Black is fine, but the brown is not good. They should have stuck with what they had before.

Also the buttons aren’t all about being clicky. It’s about sticking out and being sharp. The case I have they stick out way too far, and it appears from videos, it’s the same this year.

The RL buttons are different despite looking the same at first glance. They are flatter and smoother and are actually the same it seems as those from keyway, but any case other than the open bottom RL or Bullstrap will have buttons that protrude from the sides.

The power button sticks out same as the FW, the others a touch more, you'd have to be very ocd for that to be a concern, I wouldn't of even known or checked till you said, they work similar.
I only buy black, main negative it's very sticky but not slippery like the FW.
My symmetry buttons are flatter than both those.

I realize they protrude, but it’s how much. Haven’t found anything like the Apple buttons. They hardly protrude at all, but remain tactile.

Maybe they are better this time. Yeah black isn’t my thing. Would prefer a nice light tan.

None will stay light tan colour though, nomad tan looks good if you don't mind pvc sides, but it's not soft on the pinky,
it's a modern though not their horween, I tried the black modern twice and wasn't impressed.
Mrs has the brown horween folio for 12 max and it looks so good after a few years.

I actually find the buttons on the Keyway to be better than those of the Bullstap I had before. I know I sound like a fanboy but I think the buttons on the Keyway are just about perfect. Feel good in the hand and have a nice firm click to them. My Bullstrap ones always felt a bit mushy when pressed.

I think mostly for me it’s more how how far they stick out. As that seems to be more uncomfortable and can catch on my finger or pocket or anything else. The one great thing Apple did is recess the side. Makes for a way better experience.
