i need to get a better hobby. here are some pics of the mous aramid thin case. it’s very nice. seemed to fit perfectly until i looked at my photos and i guess there’s a tiny bit of space on the bottom left corner where it doesn’t hug the phone. it’s not noticeable when looking at it or rubbing my finger across it, so it’s a non issue for me. feels great. nice and light. mous claims it weighs 25g. my scale said 22g. i prefer the plastic camera protector. when placing on a table i don’t hear that metal sound and it won’t scratch. it’s basically a skin and camera protector. i like it.
next up is the pr gen 7. it’s definitely my go to when i want a protective case. relatively thin. i didn’t weigh it, but it’s obviously on the heavy side. very nice case, excellent buttons. the case feels really thin because of the camera protector. it’s not as large as even the mous thin.
i’m currently back in the mous. who knows what tomorrow will bring.
Got a tip for us?

The Gen 7 looks cleaner than the Mous. I thought they would be both in the same protective category?
Probably just splitting hairs here but after reinstalling the case numerous times (for installing a new screen protector) I can feel that the bottom corners (charging port side) are a bit loose - as if the case is a bit deeper/higher there and I can hear a slight creaking when pushing the phone in.
May be this case needs a break-in period?

Lip of the case catches the skin and it just peels off.
You can apply skin to the bottom and two sides but not the top. Carefully pull the sides and insert iPhone. Then slide it down. Then snap the top corners.
Full back and Plateau should be ok.
