Just got the Mous Limitless 5 in Walnut for my 14 Pro Max. It’s an awesome case, MagSafe magnets plenty strong. Feels good in the hand. My only change would be that the sides would be flat rather than rounded. Feels very protective and solid. The walnut really sets it off in my opinion.
i have the wsken screen protector. they are right at the edge, smooth feeling and good on fingerprints. i installed the first one on release day without issues. perfect install.

I didn’t have that issue when I had it for my 12PM. Used it for a while. The only reason I didn’t stick with it or get it again was because it was a little bulky for me. That and MagSafe wasn’t great.
Finally got return shipping labels for the Flex, Sheath, and Synthesis. Synthesis and Flex I think I’m ready to move on but part of me wants to keep the Sheath. I feel like I would buy it again in the future. And I like how the Flex looks more than how it feels. Mannnnnn….. the struggle is real.
Are they flimsy at the charging port and volume/power button? I can’t seem to find any other silicone cases that are sturdy all the way around like apple does
Hmm sounds like between the two Caudabe ones, you like the Sheath more. Is there anything about the Synthesis you don’t like or is a dealbreaker?
My go to’s have been the synthesis, ringke onyx, spigen cryo armor, spigen thin fit and rebel flex(I’ve tried a ton of cases thus far… gen 4 phone rebel, benks, sheath,mous to name a few (I know it’s an addiction 😂) and they all seem bulky to me). For fun and games, I ordered a couple knock off Apple leather cases from AliExpress for $25 total I can use as beaters lol I couldn’t even tell the difference between those and my real midnight one for the 14P.
I’m curious how the AliExpress ones wear over time with the pleather but my expectations aren’t that high haha
The new genuine apple leathers corners, I picked up at the Apple Store look and feel bunched up with material to me and not smooth at all. Going to return it for the $59 back. My genuine Apple leather from last year for the 13P ,looked terrible after a few accidental concrete drops(I don’t drop often)

I got this Spigen silicone case, and I really like it! It has a “grittier” texture to it compared to the Apple ones (which are some of my favorites) so it's grippier right from the box, and it has a higher lip. A little bit thicker all around, but you’re talking like around 1mm or less. They did a really good job with the inner plastic frame, as the area around the volume and power buttons is sturdy; the only area with some flimsiness is directly above the charging port. It’s even better than the $40 Velvet caviar silicone case I returned. This one is “black,” but it’s closer to Apple’s midnight color. I have it pictured next to the Apple midnight leather. (I'm trying out a Benks matte screen protector and it seems a bit thicker than others, so the lip may seem less prominent than usual).

Got my Phone Rebel Gen 4 today for my 14 PM. 24 days from Vancouver to Norway, and a mere 308 NOK - €31 - in toll duties and tax. Yippee.
Good case, but I can't possibly justify that price. Always a crapshoot importing from North America, but I'd never have done so if I'd known it'd be this much. My Dbrand Grip was taxed at €9. Live and learn.
The corner bumps are too big for me, and the camera lips too small. The fit around the volume buttons is bordering on saggy - not something I've read anywhere else, just me maybe? No grip to speak of, but that's probably an unfair comparison to the incredibly grippy Dbrand. I think the drop protection would be excellent though - feels solid.
I don't use Magsafe, but my son's wallet and charger stuck like limpets. Impressive.
All cased out - sticking with the Dbrand. Anyone in Norway wants to buy the Gen 4 from me with a little less tax (but not much), let me know.

Ryan London case arrived. Love it so far. Great texture and still slim enough. Much nicer looking than the branded BullStrap version.
Have one more case on the way to compare from another brand.

Great choice for the silver phone.
If I decide to get the case I’ll just sell it on the marketplace here because I’m sure someone is going to either keep their 14PM or upgrade to one.
You would have to pull on the sides and bottom. They feel just as sturdy as my Apple Silicon case. I love them. I’m definitely keeping them. The only problem is with the silicon material, the phone is hard to put in and take out of my pocket, so I can only use them on my day off since I pull my phone out of my pocket at work. It’s hassle to get the phone back in my pocket. Other than that I love them.
