Finally got ahold of a frost. It’s a shame they aren’t using the same stuff for the sides That the rebel is using. This is no where near as grippy.

Bare Case new leather finally arrived. This is the Bare Skin in tortora color. So far, I love it! The leather feels really nice and the buttons are pretty as well!

I am so jealous that you even have yours! HORRIBLE USPS lost mine and I paid priority shipping! For now just rocking my trusty OtterBox symmetry.

I succumbed to the BF sale on Amazon and picked up (another) Mous in aramid for 15PM. Love this case.

When they were first available I picked up two of these aramid versions and they both had the popping sound @TechnicallyTee demonstrated in his review, as well as overly loose/sensitive buttons. I spoke with a Mous rep and they told me they were in the process of replacing the defective stock on Amazon. They've either done that or the defective cases have sold through because this one is perfect. Tight fit, no gaps or popping, and the buttons are amazing, the most tactile I've experienced yet with zero wobble or rattle. Currently a happy camper.

My limitless 5.0 in aramid is out for delivery. The aramid looks good, hope I like it.

The Mous dropping to just under $50 is the price point it should be sold at.

I quite liked the Aramid version I tried out for a week or so. It felt great (albeit hard plasticky) and looked good. However, I felt it just cost way too much. I also didn't need two Aramid backed cases when the Spigen Enzo felt much more premium for half the price.

The leather version for a little under $50 sure is tempting though. I already have too many cases already so I'm trying very hard to not impulse buy it.

In my opinion no, its a great case, would be even better if the back edges were rounded.

if you can put up with some smudges the carbon back feel nice and has good grip

I’m sending back the Mous leather case because 1) I’m getting the bullstrap leather case that feels MUCH better in the leather quality, 2) amazon is having their Black Friday sale, and 3) I’m going to get the aramid fiber case.

for those who have the aramid Mous, can you feel the texture of the aramid on the back, or is it smooth?

Still liking the London Snap? Anything annoying that’s popped up about it?
Still great. I had zero fitment or button issues with the black version compared to the grey version. My only complaint is that the action button is the same size and shape as the volume buttons, so it's not immediately identifying which button is which. I've gotten used to it.

On the London, how's the fit to the phone, is it comparable to the sheath? How is the magnet strength? I keep seeing it at Best Buy, and it has peaked my curiosity
The fit is tight but maybe not as super tight like the Sheath or Synthesis. That does make it easier to take off which is nice for me because I switch cases once or twice a week. The material of the Zagg is softer and more flexible than the Sheath so the sides will pull away a little bit if you make a concerted effort to do that.

I prefer the texture of the TPU of the Zagg to the Sheath. It's still rough but due to the softer material it feels better to hold. It reminds me a lot of the texture on the Mous but it doesn't feel plastiky/hard.

The magnet strength is extremely strong. It'll pick up the Nomad Stand One I use on my desk and bedside table.

Coastal Rock Sport Case by Nomad. Sneaky excellent. Checks all the boxes for me. Thin, light, but protective. Grip and and MagSafe monster. Best buttons I've tested to date.

I like this case a lot. Only downsides I've heard are the back shows scratches clearly when it picks them up (there's a white plastic layer underneath the shiny side).

Did you consider picking up the matching 49mm Coastal Rock Apple Watch band?

Hopefully the side grips are grippy. I love the side gripage on my Caudabe Synthesis.
for me the sides are good. def not as grippy as the synthesis, but not slippery like previous mous cases have been. I ordered the limitless case for my 13PM and never used it once because it literally would slip out of my hands.

I had the Benks pro and returned it because it was like bar of soap.

How can the sides not be as grippy as the aramid version? Looks like the same pattern?

I just broke down and ordered one as I'm sick of waiting for the buttons/camera rings :(

I’d say buttons/camera rings don’t drop till Black Friday or the day after once people already have orders in. Patterns the same but the material feels different. Don’t know how to explain it. It even states on the website the sides are different

The aramid shows more fingerprints, but between these particular two cases that I have the buttons are better on the aramid. I’d say I enjoy both equally and it’s nice to have the option to switch up the look.
