The thing I most love about using any of the pro models without a case is the clean/sterile feeling nature.
The frosted back barely gets any fingerprints, the back and the sides do not absorb anything, they aren’t porus like the leather case, or get oily like the silicone ones. It’s hard surface, easy to clean and feels great. Phone slides around with ease in the hand. Good stuff. Don’t care about breaking it.
How about an in-between solution by using a sleeve? Pretty good protection especially with a felt lined sleeve when taking the phone out of your pocket. It would be a bit of a hassle since it takes an extra step to use. Not ideal if you're one that reaches for your phone often.

Omg I got a peel case for the iPhone 13 Pro Max last year and immediate returned it. It’s trash. Literally something that probably cost .50 cent to make. They told me to keep it lmao

As soon as I took it out of the packaging, I said this is going to go back. They told me to keep it while giving me a refund. I couldn’t find anybody to give it to. Nobody liked it

Ordered these two. One for hubby and one for me. I’m getting the pink.

He also ordered a bullstrap leather but that’s still preorder status and I’ll be looking for a carved live edge. But I’m really excited to finally get a pink case again (they never did come out with pink for the 12 pro max and the cheap Amazon ones were exactly that…cheap) so I’ll be rocking the pink for a minute!

Just got a bunch of different cases. Mostly from Zag. I've seriously spent 1.5 hour trying to get it off... It's so freaking tight. Almost wondering if I should send back the phone and start using the second one I ordered by a mistake... A little afraid that the phone might have got damaged when trying to take it off...

Any tips for how to get these cases off?
Did you try peeling the top corner off and pushing the camera lens? That’s how most of those tough ones are done! Did you get it off??

Are these Caudabe colors accurate or saturated because of the photo? I have had in the past and thinking about adding one of these colors for my silver. Thanks bro

They’re accurate, just under bright white lights to show its full color. They’re nice colors, the Steel Blue would look awesome with your Silver phone. I’m actually exchanging the green for a black one, reminds me of Christmas too much even though it’s a really nice green just not for me but the Steel Blue is a keeper!

Appreciate it, will grab a blue one then for sure.

Do you mean I should start pushing from the upper right corner? Did get it off, but really don't look forward to put a new case on.

So is there anyone out there who has the Mous Limitless 5.0 for the 14 Pro Max and doesn't have the rattling button issue? I tried both of my Aramid Fiber, and Walnut Limitless and both the buttons rattle. I want to see if its a defect with the models I have or is it a widespread issue before doing the video on this case.

Dropped by Kristin's channel to check in, and her Mous cases also have button rattling. Also saw another comment saying theirs did too. It's looking like this is just by design, chief. Honestly, I think the rattling isn't awful to the point where it's a deal breaker, plus the buttons are sealed and very clicky, so I'm willing to live with it. I think the Phone Rebel Gen 3's original buttons being lazily glued onto the case were a bigger issue.

I have the Limitless 5.0 on my 14PM and there is no rattle at all.

Do y’all use screen protectors?

I used to but I eventually got over micro-scratches after a few years of worrying about them with every new phone. I think the glass they use now is better than ever and if I get some serious damage, a screen repair is only $29 which can be cheaper than the more expensive and premium protectors.

Just got my Otterbox Defender XT - great case and much slimmer than the regular Defender.

I had the Dbrand grip on my previous 12PM and loved it with one big exception, the MagSafe magnets were very weak and I use a MagSafe battery pack often. Would have gotten another one if they improved the magnet strength but they weren’t available yet

It’s a leather case

I really don’t understand why people worry about creases on indentions on leather — many more will come within the 1st week.

As long as the fit is good I’d rock it a not worry about it in the least.
I ended up fitting it, not bothered by the marks. They’re actually not that noticeable now. For $89 AU though, it would have been nice to christen it myself.

Yeah that’s what I do on those really tough cases. Feels weird to be pushing on the camera but it is like you pop it out by pushing there.

I don’t blame you! There’s a reason I steer clear of certain brands because without fail they are too tight and a pain to remove.
