Curious to hear about this. I am leaning towards the Vibe mainly due to the price point compared to the UAG. Anyone tried a Plyo yet?

Ok, back in the Vibe today. If you pull hard enough, you can pull the sides out a little by the power and volume buttons, but I don't see this as any problem with the Vibe case. The bottom above the charge port is rock solid and will hardly budge.

I was using the UAG Metropolis Lt and while I do love that case the sides are seriously lacking grip.

Well I hope that is not the case with the Synthesis, mine is less than a month old. Hopefully glad I went for it instead of a Sheath. Always a concern with a finely textured case. Where did your Sheatch wear? The sides of the Synthesis are quite different than the Sheath.

That’s nuts. I’ve never had that happen on any sheath I’ve ever owned. Maybe it’s because I switch cases a little. I always thought it was basically a bulletproof case.

Thanks for this man. Still deciding. I like the Vibe but part of me does not.

I’m struggling to find any long term review for the Mous cases on the 13 lineup. Anyone want to share some thoughts? Thanks!

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.

Has anyone used the Nomad Sport case? I love how it looks but I am assuming it's a bar of soap with that shiny back.

Yes bought and returned. Here's my post from earlier:

Just got my Nomad Sport Case and I'm pretty disappointed. I love the look but it has a sharp lip around the entire back of the frame where the TPU connects to the back plate. It just doesn't feel good in hand compared to my other cases.

Worse yet, the fit isn't great - the sides bow out slightly (made evident by the stainless steel frame showing thats otherwise covered) and the power button feels odd. Almost like it's too clicky, as if the button is thicker than it needs to be. Pressing on the case frame near the power button causes it to click.

Maybe I got a bad one, but I found a review also mentioning the same sharp edge and that Nomad is updating their tooling to fix it, but that was from October.
