top seems okay, but the curvature of the case without a phone in it seems more bent than last year. Not a problem when the phone is in, but it still irks me. I'll post some photos later. I know others have posted the green.
Yeah if you would that'd be great, I'd be particularly interested in a pic that shows the top edge from the front thanks.

Got my totally unneccesary Nomad Sport case - racing yellow - today.
Mine was supposed to show up today, but it seems to have fallen into a US Post Office void somewhere in the Milwaukee area - hopefully tomorrow.
I'm praying my Forest Green one is perfect if it ever shows up 🙏
My Mous order got handed over to the USPS yesterday afternoon near Milwaukee, so in theory mine should show up well before the 11th UPS quoted me - but see above. :eek:
 
What is the best Mous case in terms of grip and feel in the hands for the 15 Pro Max?
Some of the Mous cases feel sharp in the hand I know..
 
Anyone with a Nomad Sport and if have a scale, can you provide the weight, preferably non Max but Max ok. Thanks!
 
In my notes I have that Nomad Sport for Pro Max weighs 40 g.. yes I have a note with case weights 😅 I get the info from YouTube vids/comments
I like the note idea lol. What's the lightest on the list? I imagine the Apple Silicone is up there.

Wow didn’t know it was that light for a PM. That could put a non PM at around 36g.
 
Nomad Sport racing yellow. Love the colour. My crappy photos taken on my wife’s new - for her - ip13 don't do it justice. The back is horribly shiny and slippy, but my hands and brain are both enormous and hence I don't care. Big plus for microfibre lining and great metal buttons. Cutouts at the bottom are perfect. Stiff fit all round, especially at the top. I don't do Magsafe.

Very, very slim compared to my usual cases. Zero lips/protection on the front. I don't think it would cope with even a mild drop.

Think I'll use it at home for the occasions that I'm too drunk to find my phone on the black sofa/chairs/desk/coffee table in my lounge*. Which happens when I use my black Symmetry, although I usually use the orange one.

*Happens. Meh!

For Pro Max:
Apple silicone 33 g
Apple finewoven 29 g
Benks armor air 29 g
Pitaka MagEZ 4 23 g
Pitaka MagEZ 5 ~ 13 g (per their website, unsure if this is pro max or reg pro)
The Nomad Sport Pro Max at 40g I consider light.

I assume that 13g is for the regular pro, if not, that'd be very minimalistic. I didn't know the FW was 4g lighter than the Silicone, too bad it's not really a good case. I think I'm just over the Kevlar case hype at this point TBH, I had a Benks for my 14 PM and it was a pretty good case, but I don't think I'll get one for my 15.

4g I don’t think you would feel the difference too much.

Doubt it. The Apple Silicone is already light enough, so no complaints. I'm always on the lookout for thin/light cases that still offer somewhat decent protection. I'm not a huge fan of the exposed sides on the Pitaka cases, so those are probably a no go for me.

What’s your concept of decent protection?
 
Anyone run the Ringke Onyx? Looks like a crossover of the Schpeegen Mag Armor and the Caudabe Synthesis.
 
I would say any case that I can be confident in enough to survive scratches, and minor falls here and there. I always keep coming back to the Apple Silicone because it offers minimalism and decent protection.
Apple Silicone fits great in the hand and I also like the protection it provides. But I hate that it gets snagged in pockets.

Got it in black, it’s average - fairly slim, but sharp on the pinkie and action button is meh, definitely worse than the Mag Armor
