So, the AT&T store messed up provisioning my account causing me to make 3 unneeded trips over there.. The guy has told me that as soon as I get my phone today via ups, he will fix his screw up and I can have any case on the wall for my pro... I said really? He nodded. Now I'm trying to decide WTF to do if price isnt a factor.. I work in a dusty environment so I'm thinking something mil-spec lol..

Alright, Mous is off my list for sure! Those cases and the packaging is just sad to see from a company like Mous.

Nomad is again at the top of my list...

I love Nomad Active Rugged. Going to order another one.

As far as Mous are concerned sending both Contour and Clarity back. Awaiting on Mous support to get back to me with return form etc. Lets see how long will that take.

Yeah on the topic of Mous.. I've always felt that their cases were pretty junk. Especially in comparison of the competition. I also remember getting completely spammed by Mous ads back when it was the 2.0 or 3.0 on all social medias and youtube reviews lol.

Marketing was strong but the overall products... meh.

How is the camera protection with this case?
I have had 2 xs max lenses crack....and I rarely, if ever drop my phone.....

Thanks

I would say the camera protection is nil to none on this case. Dropping your phone in this case would be about the same as dropping the phone naked.

After all 10+ or so cases, I returned all of them and went with the line green leather Apple case.

I had to “massage” the volume buttons to get them to click nicely. I don’t think I had to do that to my previous saddle brown case for my 8+.

Another point of feedback - the Peel case is a cloud/milky white and not crystal clear.

What’s the big difference between the “Active Rugged” and the “Rugged”. Water resistance? The prices are the same. I agree with others - the Mocha is nice.

Active Rugged is german leather (and not horween leather) which has been treated. Initially it does not feel like leather but the texture and how it feel has changed after few days of usage.

Any real pictures of the Mocha anywhere?

Is it a brown color or more of a washed out black?

I must of got a dud, might try again. The active has a bit more lip than the rugged, rugged has 0 with a GSP.
Have you experienced this yourself? The Nomad website state both cases ate exactly the same besides the leather.

Besides the leather Active is a touch bigger and has more lip, here's a good video shows the difference from the 5min mark.

I had XR rugged and 11 pro Active. But new rugged seems same from asking a seller and videos i have found. The active gives just enough lip like apple case with a GSP. See video.

Thanks for the quick answer! The Active seems the version to get: slightly more protection and more durable leather.

Yes i agree, going to get another black one, the brown rugged looks great aged but my black Xr rugged just looked a dull black with marks/scratches.

Anyone got the Nomad AirPods case and their charger base? might go all out.

nope, do you reckon the pathfinder gets a bit more grip with use or stays same?

Been using it for 3 or 4 days and and it's OK. Don't know if the grip is getting better or I'm just getting use to it.
I'm also going to get the all black Monarch which has much better grip.
