Did you find that the limitless 3.0 collected dust and debris around the cutouts? The slits around the volume buttons are something I've never dealt with. The previous brands I have used Speck and Tech21 didn't have those gaps. I am looking into the limitless 4.0 but I also don't know if the strange MagSafe patterns on the internal back tpu is going to cause scratches or make an imprint of those patterns onto the back of the iPhone 12 pro.

Any slits or openings on a case will allow dust and dirt to get in. I change my case so often that I do not have this problem.
Mous cases are way over rated. The arrive bowed like a banana, make a great fidget spinner, are slippery as a wet bar of soap and have symmetrical cutouts on the bottom for an asymmetrical design. The aramid fiber is a huge fingerprint/smudge/grease magnet.

They are a sharp looking case but otherwise suck. :oops: This is only my opinion.

Here's mine which I sold.

I just got the Dbrand Grip for 12 pro max. Now I am a hardcore Otterbox Defender user, I get them for all my phones however with this being the first time I am getting a max size phone I wanted something slimmer and grip is very important to me. I really like this case a lot, my only concern is will it protect well. The Defender had a really generous lip around the front of the case and I’ve dropped numerous phones with them with no damage. I am a little rough on my phones. I love the look and feel of this case. I went with the black camo skin on the back which looks dope

That’s my concern also. Although I saw a YouTube review where they drop phones in cases off a 50 ft. tower (not terribly realistic lol) and the dbrand grip was one of the cases that had the phone survive the drop. That was for the iPhone 11.

I have received the Mous Limitless 4.0

I went for the walnut and I like it very nice case so far.

I had the 3.0 carbon fibre for the 11 pro max which I wasn’t a fan of.

the differences aren’t massive but it’s definitely thinner than it used to be, although they have gotten rid of the micro fibre interior and the little storage slots which is fine by me I never used them anyway.
For those that care the cutouts are still symmetrical but the tolerances on the case seem better the back plate sits flush with the plastic case there’s no ridge like there used to be and most importantly mine came in the non banana form factor
Buttons are very nice as usual but I wish they would go for the rhino shield style of buttons instead I prefer the individual buttons

How is the protection against dust, debris and scratches so far? I am more concerned with the slits around the volume buttons than the symmetrical strange cutouts. Is it difficult to install and remove? Any info would be helpful. I may buy this thing.

Dropping the microfiber lining is a little disappointing but not a dealbreaker. I never understood why the storage slots were there in the first place, I tried slipping a SIM tool in there the first time I used the case and it was so hard to get the damn phone in there, I was terrified the tool would slip out and scratch my brand new phone all to hell. Just unnecessary, IMO.

I'm wondering what the new lining is made of. It looks like something from an Otterbox symmetry or some other type of tpu. The question is if the patterns and MagSafe ring will create an imprint on the back of the iPhone 12 pro. That remains to be seen. I'm potentially going to try this out. Not many reviews except one on YouTube, and very little info about it, other than the short review on here.

Well, decided to grab the Cyprus green silicone case. Can’t wait to rotate it between Deep Navy now. #ihaveaproblem

Guess the snow storms are delaying shipping times for everything.

I work for UPS (feeder driver). These storms have closed down some hubs and they aren't getting the planes in and out when they should. It's making other hubs and contractors take the extra load. Look for a lot of weather exceptions if it's shipping UPS right now.

Spigen Ultra Hybrid with black bumper arrived and a lot slicker and more comfortable than the Mous 3.0.

Obviously not as drop proof but much easier to hold and fits perfectly. Pleased with that for £10.

Been using the Apple black leather on my 12 Pro Max but decided I wanted a change and scratched the clasp of my Graphite AW Milanese strap. So thought I'd get the Plum silicon case and matching strap. Came today and I'm liking the combo.

How are you liking the crystal?
Click to expand...

I had it on my phone a few days. I like it a lot. I’ll probably be switching back and forth between it and the Grip. The perfect case for me would be a mashup of these two somehow. The Crystal isn’t bulky to me which I like, but the grip on the Grip can’t be beat. The back of the Crystal does get smudgy but I guess that’s normal for a clear case.

For anyone who purchased the limitless 4.0, please let us know how it is. I'm really leaning towards using this case as my daily driver, though the slits around the volume, large symmetrical cutouts, and the new tpu internal lining give me some pause. 1)How is the scratch protection? 2)Is it a dust magnet? 4)Does the new TPU seem to be effective against scratches as the old microfiber lining on the previous iterations? 5) Is the new lining a hard tpu like Otterbox or softer like tech21? 6) Is it still shaped like a banana? Any info would be helpful. Thanks in advance.
