Tried the casology nano pop MagSafe.

It’s a bit too bulky but I’d deal with that if it didn’t show every single finger print and smudge.

I think I’ll just wait until the mesa blue sheath is available for the standard 13.

Also, you know you have a case addiction when you’re considering buying the 14 pro later this year as all the nice cases seem to be available for the pro and not the standard 13.

It’s not that slippery to me and I’ve def felt more slippery cases. I like it right now until I get a new Pitaka Pro case.

Yes waiting on a replacement for mine. Hopefully they have fixed the fit issue. Great case and magnets are insanely strong.

Anyone with messa blue sheath notice a slight indentation on the back where the MagSafe is? Don’t notice it on black case. Thanks

The sides are still grippy but the grip on the back is now non existent. They went from rubber grips to plastic grips to now inverted grooves which do nothing. The Speck Grip has always been my go to case but it's been year after year of downgrades.

That being said, it's still a very well fitting, protective case that isn't too bulky. I swap it with my Apple Leather case when I need more protection.

You’re a better man than me. The dirty and grimy look kills me.

Just got the Caudabe Synthesis. This would be my daily case, but what in the hell is that camera design?
How's the grip?

Just watched Tee's video and your right, what's the deal with that ugly ass camera cutout?

after days of using the sheath, went back to use my bodyguardz ace pro for now. sheath has a very nice texture and feel for me. the grip is enough but if you are in a cold place and hands are dry for me it will be a bit slippery. most of the time I use my 13pm with one hand and this was my concern when choosing a case. my reason for using the ace pro for now is because of the grip. the back is clear somehow thick plastic and the sides has a nice texture with ridges (using smoked version) and most of the time when holding the phone my index finger sticks well on the back of the phone and the grip is really good at least in my case. the case has almost the same width like the speck grip2 just that the speck has maybe 1 mm depth.

Here is my short review that I posted on Amazon:

Mous after all these years has never figured out how to add any grip to these cases. This case is as slippery as a wet bar of soap. The case fits nice and tight, looks good and that's about it. The lip for the rear camera protector is only a tiny bit higher than the actual camera. The aramid fiber backing is a major fingerprint, grease, smudge magnet and will look crappy within 5 minutes of using the case. The buttons have slits that let in dirt and dust on both sides. Also has symmetrical cutouts for the asymmetrical phone. This case is pretty to look at but not very practical for everyday use. I have a glass camera protector on the back for added safety. 3 out of 5 stars from me.

Shame as it is such a nice looking case.

I went to return my Mous Limitless 4.0 in carbon because it’s so slippery. They offered an exchange for the Speckled Fabric which is what I wanted at first but it wasn't in stock. I accepted the exchange and they told me to keep both at no extra charge. Really impressed with their customer service.
