The finish is much more refined and better feeling on the open Sheath than the precise 😯
My precise is an older version, maybe the newer ones have this updated finish also?

So what was is the consensus on Beats Rugged case? I play with this $4 clone and it really makes me wonder how nice the real Beats Rugged is… the real one has texture on sides too…seems light ish at 42 grams?

Why is black $37.99 and other colors $79!?
Not sure about the consensus, but I like it. Good grip, surprisingly light, perfect fit, and I like how it looks. It’s been on my 17PM from day one and it won out over the TechWoven and a few others. YMMV…

I‘m also one of those who really like the BR. It was my first rugged case back in September and it’s still in my rotation despite having amassed over 20 other cases in the meantime 😂
Like Zenso said, it is light but protective. Buttons are perfect.
I also did not pay full price for the black version, even back then. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Well, I’m tempted lol. Doesn’t seem to live up to “rugged” name bur sure feels good in hand; especially if real one is better than $4 special lol

Does it have a tight fit on the sides?
£79 for a case is crazy expensive though!

17 pro max took a 3 ft fall of my pocket in the garage while in an andar case. Ooof, case doesn’t look damaged at all but my phones corner deformed. Setup an AppleCare replacement 😅

Wow, that sucks. Doesn't take much to deform these soft @ss phones. 18 pros going to be this same soft aluminum?
Guess I got lucky with my Moft drop, only lost the screen protector.
 
So, which is more protective: Beats Rugged, Mous Limitless, or dBrand Tank?
So far my phone has survived three drops onto hardwood floor: one in the Sheath, one in the Mous Limitless and one in the Tank yesterday. I would also add the Bellroy Venture to the mix, but that might be a tad too heavy for you. I would definitely always choose a case with camera pleateau cover as the truly rugged option.
