In the Mous Limitless today. While I still don’t understand the design choice to add edges back to a case for a (finally back to) rounded iPhone, the rest of the case feels very nice. It’s pretty grippy thanks to the slightly rubberish finish, the buttons are nice and clicky and even the cursed Mous CC button works as intended. I must say it feels the most protective out of my case rotation so far. It’s definitely chonky.

Looks great. As long as it feels nice in the hand that’s all that matters. But I’m sure if it was rounded would feel much better.

i bought the mous carbon fiber case for my air. i already returned it. the case is great, looks nice, feels nice, very protective with an exaggerated screen lip, great buttons… the only negative was my air was no longer an air. now i got the gray beats case. very nice and thin. as @Zensō confirmed, it’s basically an apple clear case in a solid color. it is slippery so im extra careful when handling. it’s nice to have a case that easily stays clean. already eyeing the shadow case though as it seems to be a little more grippy.

I feel as if Mous redeemed themselves this year after stumbling last year with the giant cutout followed by the quick fix Ali-X CC button. The aramid Limitless on my Air is perfect in almost every aspect of design, fit, and finish (whether someone personally likes the feel and bulk is another question).

Regarding the square back edge, the Limitless has always been like that. It’s actually better this year, but like you, I’d prefer it to be rounded off a bit more.

Overall, from my perspective, Mous is back in the running with the other flagship third-party cases. It’s definitely the top case I’ve tried in terms of build quality and finish.

The Shadow and Frost are grippier, but also greasier. They’re also 11 grams lighter than the Beats.

Agreed. I really like Mous black leather. Great hand feel. The sides have a slight texture to them

Honestly, and I’m not fan of aramid fiber, this one feels different. I know there is a coating of some sort on it, but it’s been minimal. What was on it wiped away quickly.

As an aside, used the car vent mount, it stayed but not overly strong. Slightly stronger than my Mous

Is it a keeper or another return?

This seems to be what they used to call the “Pro” (why do they change the names on these cases every year??). I loved mine on the 15PM, but I did find that the finish wore down pretty quickly and the ability to wipe off fingerprints became progressively more difficult over time. Hopefully this new one is improved—I’d be interested to know how it holds up for you.
