For my last two phones I’ve used Mous cases. These are undeniably protective but they’re a bit bulky and expensive. I have a three year old so I do need something with some protection but I don’t need it to be bulletproof.
A must have feature for me is some kind of counterbalance to the camera bump. I hate placing my phone on a flat surface and having it rock back and forth because the camera bump side is so much thicker (many cases exacerbate this by putting a lip around the bump with no counter balance element). As far as I can tell this would disqualify several cases, including Pitaka or Magbak.
Looking at the Caudabe Synthesis, it seems like the lip coming off the bump is intended to counter balance the bump itself? At least that’s what it looks like. I prefer the counter balance to be in the opposite corner but if it stops the phone from rocking that’s the important thing.
Any other recommendations I should consider? The Mous Limitless is $60 and I can usually get a coupon from the Mobile Reviews Eh YouTube channel (great accessory reviewer by the way), so I’d prefer something around the $40 range if possible.
Edit: Looks like the Phone Rebel case should meet almost or maybe all of my criteria. Shame they won’t be available for launch.
