So is the general consensus that the Mous Limitless 3.0 isn’t worth it? I believe people have said it’s got stiff buttons and the symmetrical openings on the bottom (seen as it’s downsides).

I ask because I liked the one I had for my Pixel 4 XL, but it’s not an inexpensive case and not worth the hassle of returning if others didn’t like it.

I got a tracking # but still no pickup or anything. I believe they are drop shipping these.
Mine shows coming from Cali but Case-Mate is in Georgia.

I gave in to temptation and bought an Apple silicone case in plum. I didn’t know they felt this nice, I just wish cat hair didn’t stick to it. And somehow the Taptic Engine feels more prominent in this case than in the SolidSuit and Aneu. Maybe because it’s thinner?

I'm in Illinois, so I'm not that far either. I haven't even opened my 12 Pro Max yet. It's still sealed inside the UPS box. I'm waiting for the case and screen protector to arrive.

What? Why? Open that bad boy up! Peel off the screen garment and admire the design of your new phone. Look at how pristine that stainless is before your fingers smudge it up.

CarbonThat Kevlar. The fit and feel of this case is amazing. 14 grams, 11 lighter than my sheath. Bit shorter and not as wide too.

Well it's going back, bottom left corner of the phone doesn't sit in, you can push it in then pops out a bit, the side 2/3 down to the corner has a gap so must be enough being so thin to not sit in properly, sigh.
Back to my trusty old Sheath lol, think i will stick with it for work and black apple leather for leisure.
These carbon cases are a PITA to take off too.

Looks like these flat edge phones have got the case makers caught out haha.

Just received the Power Support Air Jacket for the 12 Pro Max and it’s probably the best clear case there is.

+ Extremely slim profile and light weight
+ Crystal clear and shows off the pacific blue colour perfectly
+ Made in Japan and feels premium in the hands
+ Compatible with MagSafe leather wallet (even thought connection is not as strong as through the apple official cases)
+ no ugly MagSafe ring on the back

- raised camera lip so it doesn’t sit flat on the table. But that is to be expected for such a slim case.

Very happy with the case. Would probably be my daily driver from now on.

Super fast delivery to Sydney.

All clear cases are smudge magnets but I think this ones quality is higher and shows less smudging.

Ok, I have bought from them off Amazon. 50 bucks it would want to be good lol. These case prices are BS this year they’ve all gone up, cashing in on the home shopping cause of COVID.

Amazon AU doesn’t have the newest ones for the iPhone 12 yet.

$50 is ok compared to $79 for the apple silicone case.

You get what you pay for I suppose, heaps of $20 clear cases on eBay but they all feel cheap to me

No it’s nicely finished and doesn’t feel as sharp as the apple silicone

I think both versions would have similar smudges. You just won’t see them as easily on the smoked colour.

I have the Mous Limitless 3.0 and I like it! I have had no issues with mine. Yes, it has symmetrical ports at the bottom but other than that, it fits perfect. The buttons have not given me any issues at all. No different the Dbrand Grip in all honesty. The Grip and the Mous are very similar (if you get the carbon fiber), except the Grip has Asymmetrical cutouts in the bottom. The sides are nice and grippy.

My only gripe between the two is I prefer a more pronounced lip on the front all the way around. Neither have that. I have always loved that about UAG and Speck cases (and some Speigen)

Less than a day with the silicone case, and I’m already fed up with how much lint and cat fur clings to this thing. I can’t decide if I want to try the Caudabe Sheath next, or just give up and buy the Aneu again.

So far I have the Spigen Liquid Crystal clear case.
f0ce852b4868d645be7c1bf7e5b79970.png


Ordered both the Peel soft and hard case (it was BOGO free for Black Friday).

25715ee91d1e3e9e42216e2d6d40fa87.png



The Spigen case is okay but not thin enough for me. I’m only using it until my peel cases arrive. I also ordered a Naked skin from Slick Wraps. 2 weeks ago I ordered the Totallee clear case and Pink Citrus Apple Silicon case and returned it due to the lint magnet from reviews. The Totallee case was not as thin and soft as the one on my XS Max so it went back within 24 hours. I now like thin clear cases to show off the color of my phone.
