Yes multiple scratches right out of the box. Didn’t even bother putting it on. Not impressed.
😂😂
It’s basically the same generic MagSafe case as the one I have, but they’re all just marketed under a different name. I’m pretty sure it’s also the same as the Bare case, but they charge like $55 lol. Mine is branded under “Matekxy” and it’s honestly really good. Feels and fits great. I wasn’t expecting much for $18 but I’m very surprised.
I got the Torras Guardian one and it’s decent. Comes with extra buttons.
Yea I'd hold out for Amazon to re-stock them, I saw on the Mous subreddit before they were out of stock someone else also noted its way cheaper on Amazon vs the actual Mous website. I know you get discount codes from buying Mous products but being $99 + whatever the shipping potentially could be doesn't justify waiting for the website stock imo. They're roughly $69 on Amazon currently not including blue and green being gone, and I'm familiar with the brand so I'll probably just be patient. You're getting what you pay for with Mous imo, not to sound like one of their sales members but its great protection without being bulky lol.
I saw the Smartish Gripzilla but didn't like the large corner bumps, never saw Gripmunk until you mentioned it and I sorta like the blue but the material almost seems too loose from looking at videos on it, and according to an amazon reviewer apparently the micro fiber interior could make the phone hotter potentially as it warms up, that might just be paranoia but I wonder if thats true?
I even liked the aesthetic of that Spigen C1 case modeled after the old Macs, but at the same time it looks like cheap plastic on the outside to me and heard the action button is mush. Never used anything from Spigen before.
It also sucks how so many great looking cases all just default to boring black too. I found one brand called Clckr and one of their models called Force has this cool tire-looking aesthetic but its only black, and their regular self described premium model only has a green variant thats kinda plain. Also allegedly people have issues getting those cases off so maybe they're too much to deal with
I finally got my iphone Pro in black so I can now try my cases out.
--The Spigen Enzo-- was the case I thought I would like most, it feels very premium and looks amazing. It's not quite as slippery as some of the reviews say, and honestly I didn't get that many finger prints. The magnet was super strong, the buttons very clicky, and overall it's just a nice case. Buuuut, I'm sending it back. The screen lip is just too much for me, makes side swiping awkward. And it feels just a bit bulky.
--The Caudabe Synthesis-- is the one I wasn't sure about, but I actually love it. I love the texture and just overall fit and feel of the case. I had a great experience with them as well which helps. It still has a decent screen lip but it doesn't feel as intrusive as the Enzo. The buttons are actually pretty clicky, not on the level as the Enzo, but after reading some of the reviews on here I was pleasantly surprised. I also don't have any issues getting the phone in and out of the case.
I may order the Phone Rebel Gen 5 next, I'm hoping it can give me what I loved with the Enzo but with the dropped screen lips on the sides. Anybody compare the two? I also might get the Andar Aspen, it wasn't going to release until the end of November so I decided to wait to see what black Friday brings.

I bought the C1 and it did look incredibly cool. However it felt super cheap and plasticky in hand. The mushy buttons weren't too bad but the cheap feeling was a no go.
Is the synthesis smaller than the Enzo? I too liked the Enzo but returned it as it was a bit too bulky for me
my ghost case is scheduled to arrive on Friday and I'm not holding out hope on it's quality. I have to say that for years I have using the Rhinoshield bumper and I LOVE it! I had it on my 13 PM and loved it! I should have stopped at it and not fallen for the hype for the ghost...
Ps. I had picked up a mag safe charging brick for $22 @ Amazon (Amazon days deal) and it snaps nicely using the bumper.
yes some say it's slippery but I've never dropped it out of my hands...

I have the Mous in Atlantic Blue due for delivery today! But it's for my 15 Pro, not Pro Max. Will try and remember to post pics anyway.
I have two issues with that. One it’s not likely to give any decent drop protection. Two it means you have to use the phone naked and considering how slippery iPhones are it’s more like to slip out of the hand and fall. These two issues make it a no go for me. 🤔
I first thought there was a smudge (it was not) from the glue on the wrapping so I wiped it with a clean microfibre and it scratched more. 😂
The nature of the beast I guess. I am looking forward to getting mine. It should be here by the end of the week.
Mous Bamboo, Mouse Leather or Nomad Rugged in black or ultra orange for a black 15PM?
I'm only going to order one, give me your vote?

That’s a tough call. Right now my Mous Walnut is just slightly winning out over my Black Nomad Rugged. One thing that has me preferring the Mous is the superior screen protection, which I feel could be a little better on the Nomad. On the other hand, the Nomad has better camera protection and it lays flat on its back. Because I mostly lay my phone face down, the better screen clearance wins out for me. If I primarily laid my camera face up, the Nomad would be the better choice. That’s my story for now, check back next week for a new one. 🤪
So after that long winded response, today I vote for the Mous Bamboo.
In praise of the Otterbox Symmetry - in a series of unlikely but true events involving a broken arm, a duvet, a basketball and my son's head, my phone fell from said head onto my (stone) lounge floor, a height of 204 cm. Not a mark on either case or phone.
Don't recommend it though, even with shorter progeny than mine.

I returned the Mous because of the buttons. Way too much wiggle and very sensitive.
I had used it on my previous 13 PM.
Ended up with a Nomad Rugged. I really like it.
Just adding a data point… my first two Mous aramid cases had loose buttons and a poor fit, my walnut version is a perfect fit and the buttons are very good, no rattles and sensitive but not overly so. I’m thinking the issue with fit on the aramid cases may have contributed to the buttons being overly loose/sensitive.
Thumbs up on the Nomad Rugged - great case.
God, do I hate the bottom cutouts on the Nomad rugged. Only thing holding me back.
Yeah, they’re pretty ugly. Fortunately, that area is super stiff due to being mostly polycarbonate, which for me offsets the look.
Done !
Noticed a 4-5 days processing thing at the top of screen, WTF is that all about?
