I rotate cases too often to get a great patina going 😂
Alright, here is my take on the spreadsheet that @acbarn posted. It isn't as pretty looking, but it was just something I threw together since I couldn't use the same template 
I put N/A on the Pitaka MagEZ 5 buttons category because the case doesn't have buttons and you use the actual buttons on the phone. Also, the categories are very in favor for the Apple Silicone, but don't let the low score fool you, it'd be an 8 in the "lint" category if there was one One last thing, I will add the same disclaimer @acbarn added to their post. I'll be open to questions if you have them.
Disclaimer: This is all highly subjective; I don’t expect anyone to agree with the overall rankings or the individual category rankings. If your case placed near the bottom, please don’t take it as a personal affront. The overall rankings don’t even perfectly line up with my own preferences.
Edit: I just realized that the total on the moft movas is incorrect. It should read 23 not 21.
Edit 2: The Mous limitless is very protective, should be a 2, not a 7. Lower is better. New total would be 14.

I just realized the moft movas total should be 23 not 21. Guess that's what happens when you forget to add the additional 2 😅
IMO yeah, it'd be the most protective on this list. Lower = Better so I put it as 1 on a scale of 1-8.
Also the limitless should be 2 not 7.

So it looks like the top scores are tied at 14; Sheath, Mous Limitless and Apple silicone.
Which kind of aligns with my top case choices. I overhyped the Aspen, thought it'd be my #2, but it isn't. Not close, actually.
Yea I trimmed down. I’m only running 1 case in 2 colors, the Sheath. Reason I trimmed down was because the Sheath checks more boxes. Doesn’t make sense (for me) to have more than 1 maybe 2 cases.
My Nomad in English tan should be here Friday.
The Sheath is my #1 too. I have way too many cases lol.
I won't buy it, but let me know how the Nomad is.
Will let you know. I bought from Best Buy because their return policy is ez and it’s less than a 10 minute drive. If I don’t like I’ll it return it and look into Andar or Bullstrap.

How are the buttons of this case? My brother is eyeing on a Nomad Sport Case.

They’re great. Some of the best buttons on any case I’ve tried. Nomad has nailed the buttons on their cases.
as promised here’s the polar pro litechaser case and grip. been on my phone for 2 weeks now. according to my photos it does show finger smudges sorta, i wasn’t wearing my glasses so didn’t notice to wipe first. shows the magsafe ring out of box. i’m fine with that. i really like the case. it’s a soft touch feel but with a slight grip. fits tight. seems very protective. good magsafe strength. good screen protection. on the heavy side especially with the camera cover. surprisingly i do leave the cover on a lot because i can grab the phone freely without touching the camera lens.
Returned the Bellroy, it felt a bit flimsy, nice leather and didn’t leave a white magsafe ring which was surprising.
Has a tiny lip that sticks out where the leather meets the pu on the sides and didn’t like the feel.
Ok on the bottom.
Buttons were good and only weighs 35 grams for the max size.
Took them awhile, my Mrs 12 pro folio buttons are very stiff/ average, she's never complained though.
That’s an interesting system. Do you use filters and external lenses?
I noticed the cutouts on the bottom look almost identical to the Moment and Nomad; I wonder if they’re all being made by the same manufacturer?
Yeah, I’m not sure when they did it, but Nomad switched to metal floating buttons and they’re great now. I know exactly what you’re talking about with the older cases that had the integrated buttons. They weren’t good at all.
Thanks! That’s definitely a different looking case, but I like it. That blue is pretty sharp, too! I appreciate it.
