There isn’t a perfect case. Give me the Apple silicone same form and weight without the silicone.
Got a tip for us?

Just received the Pro Max version with Dark Circuit! Really nice case.
I had this case for my 15 Pro Max... my most favorite case - like it was sculpted for the phone perfectly. Yes it's a little bulky but it its super light and the grip changes the phone dynamics completely - holding the phone becomes much more enjoyable.
Definitely something Batman would have on his phone. The perfect fit with no movement is surprising and impressive.
I'm looking forward to mine this week on my 17 Pro.
That's my problem with the Silicone case, it picks up everything from my pocket too!
I wish his reviews were more comparable. Like... put the numbers in a table at the end of the video so I can compare cases. The way they are now it's like "and this one is 33% more rigid than the average case" and I'm like "great, that tells me nothing... I need to have a look at the other reviews again".
With the reviews so far we've got a mixed bag of so-so cases basically. Not one really great one up until now. He seems to be a Mous fanboy though.
And I've ordered a Mous Limitless, since I loved it on my 15 PM. The mous subreddit reminds me of the Caudabe one, though. Everyone complaining about less than average QC. So we'll see what I get from them... 😬
(still loving my Beats rugged btw, even though it got a "no" from him).
Also had it for the 15PM. It's noticeably thinner for the 17 series. Im very happy with it.
It really doesn’t slide out the pocket, which is good because I’ve had my phone fall out my sweatpants pocket at home. When I go out my phone is in my bag. When I ordered in late September they were delivered a week later.
I'll just chime in here and say the TW I have on my 17 Pro is tight and there's zero chance it would pop off in a face down drop. Maybe that's different for the Pro Max (not sure which phone you have), but when I had the 17PM, the TW I had for it was equally tight.
Orange 17PM arrived finally! I actually had to let it sit for a few hours because last night was a disaster and I spent 7 hours in two different hospital ERs. Everything is good now, so here’s my setup.
- Torras Origarmor screen protector (from Amazon, took a couple days, I think)
- Pitaka Sunset Ultraguard case (ordered direct, took two weeks)
- Aforementioned Orange 17PM

I am just but a Macrumors member but - I appreciate your info and viewpoints. More info the better informed decisions we can make (even those I don't see eye to eye with).
Looks great. So there is no lifting of the screen protector? There is enough space?
Not that I know of. I bought it direct right after I ordered the phone. I was worried the phone might show up first and I’d have to go care less, but the case showed up almost two weeks before the phone.
Nope. And the Torras screen protector was an absolute breeze to install. It went so quickly I figured I had to be skipping steps.
He’ll most likely do an overview once the individual reviews are complete. I seem to remember that from years past.
I’m not a big fan of Mous, but they did really well in his outdoor drop tests in the past. Their quality seems to have slipped since the 14 series though, which IMO was arguably their best year.
Third party QC seems terrible this year, at least for the Air. The only cases I’ve tried so far that don’t have some issue or another are the Apple and Beats (I’m pretty much in the Apple Clear Frost full time now). I have a Nomad coming this week, we’ll see what kinds of defects it has… lol.
Pretty good. At first they wouldn’t stick that good to the Apple silicone. But seems like it takes a while for the stick to settle. Plugs go right in, then you “dig” the plug out. Somewhat inconspicuous. W
Will get a better test at work tomorrow.
