Used them both, Sheath is my current daily and i returned the mous. Mous has too many QC issues such as bowing on the frame, sharp corners and it makes the phone very boxy. Sheath is refined and handles much better. Its also protective and even covers the plateau.
Thanks this is really helpful, now which sheath to get for a cosmic orange. Black seems sophisticated yet boring 🤔
 
I have the Pro. The Sheath weighs 14g more than the Apple Silicone.

When I first got the Sheath I was switching between the Apple Silicone because of the weight. Then one day I said f it, I’m going to run the Sheath no matter what. Then I got used to the weight. Now it’s no problem.

IMO the Sheath aligns second best when it comes to form factor. Curved smooth edges to the back, not boxy.

Here’s the specs of the Sheath and Apple Silicone. As you see the only difference is the depth.

Sheath
153.6 x 75.9 x 13
44g


Apple silicone
154.4 x 76.5 x 12.1
30g
Thanks Macher, super helpful. I was worried the Sheath would be much heavier but seems most of the options I was considering, mous, Dbrand grip, rebel all are there or thereabouts in terms of weight.

Well to be honest from my experience, if you’re coming from the likes of the Apple Silicone, the Sheath initially is going to feel heavy AF. I do think the Sheath is heavier than it should be when the spec measurements are almost the same as the Apple Silicone. But I have the confidence that my iPhone is protected way more than with the Apple Silicone.

I hear you to be fair my 13 mini with the sheath also felt heavy AF initially
