I've been rocking one of the ESR clear cases since release, but I've started to noticed a few light scratches in spots on the SS band. So now I'm looking for another one to try out; possibly a silicon since I've never had one before.

Should I be cautious of ones that have designs on the inside? I've seen a few reviews for ones like Spigen that say it left marks on the phone's back in the shape of those designs.

I'd love to go Apple-official to get that microfiber lining but the fitment complaints have me scared lol

I also have this concern about the limitless 4.0 and the new tpu lining with the magsafe ring and other patterns. I am new to iPhones, but my last phone the pixel 2xl had the same issue as the one you mention above. My Evo check managed to make an imprint of the diamonds and some case patterns from the lining into the back of the phone's painted metal chassis. I think dust rubbed against the phone and therefore created those imprints.

Yeah most of the complaints I saw were from older iPhones with the aluminum backs, so that could be a factor. Might be less likely to happen with the glass backs.

Decided to jump on a Caseology Nano Pop to try since I've been eyeing it all day. I'll just keep an eye on it and give the inside a wipe down every so often.

So what seems be the most protective of all the magsafe cases(compatible for all magsafe accessories)? OtterBox symmetry +?

Wow, thats ridiculous. I would absolutely let Mous know and I would refuse to pay for any return shipping or replacement shipping.

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.
For anyone that owns the limitless 4.0 on this thread, please answer these questions. I'm really leaning towards this or potentially the otterbox S plus or Nomad rugged magsafe. I know at least one person on here owns this case. Thanks.

I rejected it with the courier so they have took it back. Sure mous will send a new one. Annoyed mind.

I am sending my dbrand Grip MagSafe back as it does not hold and dbrand doesn't have a solution other than “they used the same magnets as Apple - which is NOT true or it would hold with the phone in the case on a MagSafe car mount.

I have the Pitaka coming today and the Phone Rebel shipped yesterday.

I am hoping these two will complete things. I love this Grip case, but want to use the MagSafe in my car.

It doesn’t hold on to the car mount? That stinks. The magnet seems pretty strong on the MagSafe charger but that’s the only thing I’ve tried.

On Phone Rebel’s IG they show some fancy mount that seems really strong. I guess they upgraded their magnets.

Nope. It holds, but as soon as you start moving, it will begin to vibrate down and falls off. It will hold standing still all day, but the constant vibration of the road is too much for their weak magnets.

Hate to say it but I seem to be using the SlipperySuit case the most out of the 20+ cases I have. :oops:
This case is as slippery as a wet bar of soap, has symmetrical cutouts ? and makes the phone kind of wide.
The tight, no saggy fit and fabulous buttons are what keeps me going back to this thing day after day.

I've also been looking for a decent MagSafe case that protects the phone, thin as the Influence, practically no give, 10ft + drop protection and includes the correct cutouts and none of those strange slits around the volume buttons(I live near a beach community, so sand and debris is a problem). I think I may bail on the Mous. If the Mous L 4.0 had the correct cutouts and none of those slits, I would jump on it immediately. Hope Mous is watching this thread. They need to correct these things. I still look forward to more Mous L 4.0 reviews from people on this thread though. Hope to see one soon. It's too bad the nomad rugged MagSafe doesn't fit my preferences. For now, I guess I'm staying with the influence. Wish it had MagSafe built in.

Has anyone tried a MagSafe sticker? I'm thinking about putting something like this on my Influence for my 12 pro. The only question is will the phone still get the 15w charge with the sticker on? That remains to be seen.
