Got my Mous contour today, the speckled black. This case is amazing. Feels great in the hand and not too bulky, the leather on the back has a great grippy texture and the plastic frame has a great feel also. Feels super thin overall and I tend to position my pinky finger under the lightning port when holding the phone and there are no sharp/irritating edges as well. Overall I’m crazy impressed, I saw MobileReviiewsEh going nuts on how great these cases are and I agree with him 100%.

I’ve got a limitless 3.0 to try coming tomorrow (wanted to see if the magnetic system is interchangeable with another one I use) but this case is going to be hard to beat.

So the speckled leather is better grip than the non black? what about the big lip on bottom for swiping? and is the no lip on the sides a bit odd or not?

Unfortunately I can’t say for certain on the grippiness since this is the only color I have but from the reviews I’ve seen it appears that the Contour Colour series is more grippy that the regular Contour. I was worried about the lip at the bottom initially but since having it on my phone I can say that it doesn’t interfere. As for the sides it just feels natural. You don’t notice the variable lip along the side at all.

I go through a lot of cases (keep too many and return a lot as well); it’s been a long time since I’ve been this impressed with a case. I also tried the Rhinoshield Solidsuit and there is honestly no comparison for me, the Mous Contour is better hands down.

Yeah i do too but am trying this time to just try the new versions of some, ie the nomad active i posted above. Can't get the Mous here yet and it's $69AUD from US which is probably what it will be anyway when comes over.
I decided last year not buying from OS anymore, shipping too long and too hard to return if problem or no like.

I’ve been eying the contour for the last two weeks and hoping it would be on Amazon UK. However, I just saw MobileReviews video last night and with his 20% discount code, bit the bullet and ordered the white one directly from their website. I’ve not seen this colour reviewed and I usually don’t choose white, but I really thought it popped in the product photos and I love the little black corner accent for the camera lenses. Looks like a one-eyed panda lol.
I’ll add photos when it’s here, hopefully later this week.

Are the cutouts asymmetrical?

This is the first year I’ve ever purchased an Apple leather case and I am so glad that I did especially for $39.99 at Target. Unlike what other people have told me, it feels great in my hands. Not slippery at all. The saddle brown goes really well with my leather Apple Watch band and my shoes. Now my work outfit coordination is stupendous. ?

I may even pick up the black leather as well.

Buhh... someone had to mention the Student Beans college discount on Mous... I used my edu email and was given the 30% off and ordered 3 cases

This does work in the US. You just need a college edu email.

Power Support and Totallee came in late last week and I think they're the 2 best cases I've tried out for the 11.

PS Air Jacket is a nice hard case and feels close to caseless and not cheap like TPU.

Power Support

www.powersupportintl.com www.powersupportintl.com
pros
-exposed buttons (pro to me at least)
-very tightly but didn't crack like the clear Apple case did after 3-5 removals
-front screen lip
-accurate cutouts

cons
~$40
-dot matrix to avoid bubbles on the inside of the case (the case is hard just like the clear Apple case so it doesn't';t seem like it needs the matrix)
-feels wide in my hands
-slight imperfection in the mold
-no rear camera lip but case back seems thick enough so that the cameras don't protrude
interesting bottom cutout near the button of the screen (probably to make removing and installing a bit easier)
-bottom corners don't have front screen lip protection

Totallee just felt like the highest quality soft TPU case, but not $20 better.
pros
-buttons click ok, not as good as naked or Apple leather case clicks (this is why I like the exposed buttons)
-accurate cutouts
-camera lip protection
-front camera protection

cons
-dot matrix
-power button doesn't click as well as the volume buttons
-not worth the +$20 over the generic TPU cases like Ravoo

They're different types of cases - I'd go for the Air Jacket if I wasn't too worried about drop protection and wanted a hard case. I'd go with the Totallee if I wanted a TPU/rubber case.

Then the Torras if I wanted more protection and didn't mind more bulk. Buttons and fit are nice on the Torras.

A few quick pictures of the Power Support Air Jacket.

Thank you sk2sep2304! The Power Support Air Jacket looks nice and has no branding at all. I can see why you said it makes your iPhone 11 wider in your hand.

I had never used an Apple leather case until this year and I'm thinking I'll be sticking to it. It is nice and clean and seems to offer sufficient protection for me.
