Love to see it! Thanks for posting this. ☺️Because I’m currently rocking the Beats Rugged again after contemplating over the Mous case for a bit and finding the sharp inner edge too risky for a regular case swap. I feel like it will definitely damage the coating over time when removed over and over again. Which is a shame because I love the Mous otherwise.
The Beats Rugged is smooth inside and out, with a nice microfibre lining, so I’m not worried about swapping out of it often.
Haven’t dropped the phone yet, so fingers crossed I won’t ever need the protection.
sharp inner edge? u mean the inner sides that are hugging the phone at the frame?

If the Mous didn’t have the sharp inner edge which would you like better the Mous or the Beats Rugged now that you know that the Beats Rugged provides good drop protection?
That’s a tough question. I love them both a lot, I guess the Beats case gets a point extra for being more comfortable to hold while the Mous gets a plus for being a tad more protective when it comes to drops on the back. So, it‘s a tie I guess.
I love the Beats rugged case. I have the synthesis, the sheath and some other cases but for some reason I just keep going back to the Beats
Yeah, same tbh. It just feels so nice to hold.
Looking to grab the beats case on sale how is the MagSafe strength?
I’ve had no problem with either car mount (ESR with crazy strong magnets) or Popsockets. If you’re not trying to mount this on your bike, you should be fine.
I ordered the beats rugged on sale and rocked it for a few days… I wanted to like it but found the top half too slippery. I like the buttons and lip/screen protection but with winter here and my hands dry I was worried it would get dropped. Im back to the Smartish gripzilla which despite Mobilerevieweh’s negative YouTube review I’ve found to be a solid case.

I’m thinking of getting a mous case if they ever go on sale. Not crazy about their marketing but they seem to be highly reviewed.
It tends to lose its slipperiness over time I feel. Even with dry hands now I never feel like I would drop it. And the screen lip helps with pulling it out of pockets because it acts like a grip you can hold on to. I was worried in the beginning too and used a popsocket when I visited an amusement park in the fall. But the slightest bit of moisture makes it super grippy.

Is the Mous more chunky than the Beats?
 
The first copy of this Pitaka Ultra-Slim case I received was defective with a loose upper corner. I really wanted a clean copy though, so decided to try once more and was lucky to get a good fit this time. It obviously provides only scratch and slight bump protection, but wow does it highlight the thinness of the Air. It’s very nice for around the home and office.

Yeah, the Mous fit is tight this year. This is normally a good thing unless you’re a serial case swapper like some of us. 😁😉

😁 Exactly.
I feel like once I’ve tried every case I wanted to try and finally settled on a rotation of cases that ticks most of the boxes, I might slow down with the swappity swap a bit and then return to the Mous for a while. But we’re not there yet 🙃😂
