Much cheaper than the blue or green Mous which I also want
Good point. I tried a Mous Limitless (bright blue) as well, and I prefer this. I ended up returning the Mous as I thought it was way over-priced for what it was, albeit it was decent.

Reason I returned the Mous Aramid because it was too slippery for me on the sides . I like a case with good grip on the sides.
 
If I wasn’t returning my Caudabe Synthesis I wouldn’t need it either. I hope the Gripmunk is a good replacement in terms of protection.

Oh wow you’re returning the synthesis? You were a big advocate for it and it seems like you had it longer than 30 days (return policy) but I guess not.

Yea big advocate cause I didn’t know what buttons are supposed to be like until I got the Spigen Mag Armor.

I hear you. It’s too bad the Synthesis otherwise is a great case except for the occasional MagSafe dislodging but it seems like that issue hasn’t been brought up much, I do remember Caudabe saying they were releasing a revised version that shouldn’t have that issue. I have a gray synthesis arriving tomorrow, I was able to get it for $21 out the door after so many discounts so I caved.

I don’t have any issues with MagSafe stuff like my Apple MagSafe battery pack. I really like the matrix grip on the sides of the Synthesis. I also feel that’s it offers good protection and like the fact with a screen protector has good lipage.

Yea I’m familiar with it, I had the celestial blue but got rid of it. I do love my gray sheath and I feel the buttons are a bit better than on the synthesis. I purely got it because I love the gray colorway and the price I got it for lol

Anyone have a Mous 20 or 30% off code?
FYI, Mous direct - Forest Green and Atlantic Blue are available at $64.99. Tempting, but I was not a big fan of the Clarity 2.0, so probably wouldn’t be a fan of the Limitless 5.0. I wasn’t crazy about the form factor and size of the Clarity 2.0.
 
My Decoded Orange silicone arrived yesterday. Love the colour: was so disappointed with how quick the Apple orange leather wore on my 14PM, and have pined for an orange case ever since. This is nice. Not too grippy, not too bulky, not too heavy. Buttons are metal on the inside, but I’ll pop a little bit of tape over those, no biggie. Not too big a lip-I’ve tried to capture that in one of the photos (I have glass screen protector on too FYI).

The only thing I’m a little concerned about is the charger port cut out. It flexes, which I guess is intentional, but surprising, because their leather case is solid around there.

Still, a nice case. MagSafe is pretty strong. Not one for my Magwallets though, all the colours clash! I paid £31 for it delivered, Black Fri discount + a free postage code-otherwise it’s a £50 case. Not sure it’s worth that, I think what I paid with zero P&P is fair. Photos - 1 of 14.jpeg

That's a beauty, I should have ordered when it was on Amazon, now it's too late.

Can you share that orange wallpaper please?

Does Otterbox generally drop more colorways over time? There’s some Symmetry styles for the 14 Pro that I really like, that aren’t available for 15 Pro.

How is the silicone on this, is it similar to Apples? I struggle with theirs getting in/out my pocket, and the lint drives me mad.

I've had some cases listed as 'silicone' though that feel a lot smoother.
 
Yesssssss!

The Forest Green is so tempting, because it looks so good, but not sure I am going to like it based on my above post.
I've already got the Forest Green on backorder from Amazon (albeit at the same $65), but the Blue looks good, too. I really liked the Bamboo version I got for $45, so I'm interested in some of the other Limitless colors.

If only the blue was in stock during the sales last week....

EDIT: So I cancelled the Amazon Green backorder, and ordered both the Green and Blue direct from Maus with the email signup 10% code. This is why I'm Mr. Willpower! o_O
