My Moonstone arrives Tuesday. Currently rocking the Midnight open version and loving it. I had the Midnight precise version first but ended up preferring the open version.
Got a tip for us?

The no lip on the sides makes it feel thin. You get good protection with the “Mous like” lips top and bottom.
Not a big leather case fan; fat hands dry and often find them slippery as heck… this caught my eye though..

Unexpected winner 😮
My brain still can’t compute that Flolab Surtect is the grail. Bizarre as it sure doesn’t look like anything special.
. Tempted to take a flyer on one though like a idiotard lol.
I‘m happy with his top 3 I have here. But he has skipped several popular cases this year. Would have loved to see him testing the Phone Rebel for example (I don’t think anybody has this time?).
Also, the Rhinoshield Mod NX (5. place) has reviews from people who’s iPhone popped out of the case when dropped. 🤷🏻♀️
Guess you can’t go wrong with the top 3 here, though.
FloLab must have sent him the biggest checkMy brain still can’t compute that Flolab Surtect is the grail. Bizarre as it sure doesn’t look like anything special.. Tempted to take a flyer on one though like a idiotard lol.
I had the Surtect last year for the 16PM and it sucked.FloLab must have sent him the biggest check
They sail a black border matte back version; very Synthesis esque lol. It looks slick in hand regardless of its drop protection?
It’s sad that he skipped dbrand Grip 😭
Right! Totally forgot he also skipped the Grip. Yeah, I agree.
I think the only plausible explanation is the near 360 degree TPE lining they use. It’s not an attractive case and isn’t on my radar for purchase. For full protection, the Mous is far more appealing to me.My brain still can’t compute that Flolab Surtect is the grail. Bizarre as it sure doesn’t look like anything special.
Yeah, the Phone Rebel is a glaring omission.
I don’t think it’s that sharp. Definitely try it out!
I’ve read, and it might be incorrect, the TPE lining isn’t totally covering in the base 17 case. I’ll personally stick with my mous case.
Just bought an Ember Paragon to try. All my cases are black so will be a nice change to have something brighter. Will put my Sheath black buttons on it, are the CC buttons swappable? Will swap with my black Sheath if so.
Bit annoyed that a 30% discount code means you have an extra £6 shipping charge that diminishes the 'reward' a fair bit. 👎🏻

Nope, I don’t think it is
Yea the Sheath as he said doesn’t add much bulk vs other cases but is dense which explains the weight.
As a Sheath owner happy with the scoring. The Flolab isn't attractive to me at all, and that is part of my scoring. Not sure I have any complaints on the Sheath MagSafe strength either...Of all my cases, the Thinborne has the strongest MagSafe by farMy brain still can’t compute that Flolab Surtect is the grail.
