got my mous limitless 5.0 case today. im not sure what case those that describe a rattling of the buttons got. the buttons on the limitless 5.0 are not separate pieces, they are part of the case. even with it empty, they don’t move at all. shaking the case like crazy and there is no movement of the buttons. with the phone inside, the buttons are better than perfect, if that is possible. there is zero movement and the buttons click as if no case was on the phone.

i am super happy with it. I've had at least one of every version 1-5 and this is definitely the best. the sides feel a little softer and the ridges help with the grip. it is not a slim case at all. but for me that is okay. don’t buy if you like thin cases. my phone feels very safe in here. i love the look on the back and the light colored bamboo contrasting with the purple around the camera module looks great imo.

regarding the buttons, maybe those complaining didn’t buy the limitless 5.0 case line.

I just bought the Ink leather case and the buttons are almost impossible to press. They are definitely mushier and more difficult to actuate than the Apple leather cases I have for the 13 Pro Max I still have on hand. Has anyone also found the new Apple leather case buttons harder/mushier to actuate?
Yep, have the Ink leather on my 14 pro and the power button feels mushy, almost like the case isn’t properly aligned. Volume buttons seem fine. Debating on keeping it or not. Sharp looking case imo!

Is yours a Pro or Pro Max? Mine for the Pro in the regular wood had the bad buttons. Trying to see if it’s one or the other or just a bad batch.

How much do the Caudabe cases for the 14PM weigh this year? Last year with adding magsafe, the Sheath was massive...

Theirs is a Pro Max version as evident by the full raised edges around the camera. The regular Pro Limitless 5.0 only has 3 sides raised. Also, I got my Pro Max 5.0 the other day in Aramid fiber and I can also hear the buttons rattle. It’s not loud or anything for me, but seeing as the other person claimed their buttons were fine, I’m also wondering if it’s a bad batch and if I should contact support.

I finally got my Caudabe Synthesis for the iPhone 14 PM today and this new updated version is outstanding. It’s minimalistic yet modern and it feels INCREDIBLE to hold. The new grip on the side is really awesome stuff. The pictures don’t do it justice!
Been hoping to see some posts come in about the new Synthesis as I’ve been heavily considering it as an alternative to the Mous case. Are the buttons fully sealed or do they have gaps where you can see the phone inside?

Ugh. Man. You’re gonna make me try the Synthesis to try it. How does it feel compared to the Sheath, if you’ve had that one before?

Completed sealed! Theres a quick video I uploaded on YT so you can check it out of the new Synthesis version. Hopefully that helps with your decision making.

I have had the Sheath. And I love how they feel but this years updated Synthesis knocks it out of the park. It feels sooooo good to hold. Very sturdy. The new grips on the side, oh man !!!

pro max, but i have to apologize and correct my review above. when i rub my finger across the buttons i do hear a rattle. i thought i had to shake it or something. that doesn’t bother me. the buttons press in easily. i really like the case. it’s a keeper for me.

i find it strange they changed the camera ring on the pro vs pro max and left the bottom edge flat. I usually rest my finger on that edge to support the phone I wonder why they changed it

I have a free Mous limitless 5.0 for a iPhone 14 Pro 6.1 inch though. They sent me the next day the right one Mous limitless 5.0 for iPhone 14 Pro Max 6.7 inch! I was surprised. Knew something was fishy when I opened the case because it was basically the same size as my iPhone 11. I didn't think Apple could fit a 6.7 inch phone to look as small as a iPhone 11 lol.


Mous said to keep it or give it away! So that is why I am giving it away.

First person that says they want it or pms me gets it!

It is just a normal black mouse limitless 5.0 case. The $64.99 one.
