i got the dbrand grip case for my air. don’t have a scale but it’s on the heavier side. great feel on the sides and the new back, which is textured this year. i didn’t install the skin cause i really like the feel and look of the back. very thin except for the top plateau area. buttons work fine, they are just slit cuts. the cc button works great. if you’ve tried the ghost, it’s not as easily pressed. if you’ve tried apple, its not as firm. for me it’s perfect. not too clicky not too firm. i really like it all in all.

i want to thank my professional model for his help.
Always love the kitty in the shots, such a handsome fella :)
 
Someday I’ll learn to not order direct from small case makers in the first few months after release of the new phones. This year it was Süti that was the first to be problematic, now Pitaka is turning out to be another. I originally ordered a Pitaka Ultra-slim through Amazon back in early September, which was unceremoniously cancelled on the day it was set to be delivered. Now, I’m waiting on a direct order that was placed 10/1 which seems to be in mid-flight limbo somewhere over the Pacific… lol.

I almost never order from smaller case makers. Only exception is Caudabe because if I order on a Sunday, I’ll usually get it by Friday.

I’m going DBrand Tank comes to Best Buy.

If you order a Caudabe case today, I don’t think you’ll have it by Friday, unless you’re talking about a Friday in November… 😉
 
Is the Mous significantly stiffer than the Apple along the top above the plateau? Just curious because Mous makes a big deal about that in their marketing.
They are both pretty stiff on that top part but the Mous is definitely more protective and more durable than the Apple. Apple case is more minimal.
 
Here it is guys in all its glory, and I have to agree with others that the Sheath is one of the best case I’ve ever own! Got the Gray Sheath with Ember buttons.

NOTE: The gray looked darker than I thought, and I love it! And works perfectly with the Torras OrigArmor edge to edge glass protector!

Also NOTE: There is a tiny bit of exposed screen between the OrigArmor and the Sheath, so basically the case doesnt go right up to the edge of the OrigArmor, there is about ~1mm exposed gap.

Lastly, the rattle is present with the case empty, and if you intentionally try to shake it, then yes there is a big rattle. But once I put the phone inside, the rattle is hardly present and sounds worse than it is:


Thank you for using your case normally. I don’t like shaky buttons but you have to be shaking it like a musical instrument to even hear it. Not a concern imo.
 
Some people say Schpeegen are Walmart cases, meaning cheap junk.

What are others thoughts on the quality?

I think they're crap too. I had a few in the past and they either broke or got banged up so quick I didn't want to use them.
 
Full disclosure: I'm a very light phone user and I understand the Air isn't for everyone. 3 hours of screen-on time a day would be a lot for me. That being said, my Air, which I've had since launch, has ruined me as far as size and weight go. I see these Pro and Pro Max cases posted in this thread and they look super thick to me now. :D
