Wait, he already has a video with the Grip case. I am confused now. 😮
Edit: Oh, in that video he didn't do the drop test.

Well that’s going to be interesting. So far, not one of these cases failed his test. Even the ones that didn’t seem so protective at first.

Didn’t the TW pop off on the corner? And the Apple Clear, which I believe caused the initial damage?

Yeah you’re right, both TW and Sheath popped off the phone during the testing (not sure above the Paragon). No damage to the phone from the Sheath despite it popping off, screen cracked on the dummy phone with the TW. The clear case was not part of the initial testing, but damaged his phone during a „regular“ accidental drop.

For sure. It looks like the phone survived, which is pretty impressive. I wish he would have taken off the “case” and looked closely at the corners though. There could have been dents that were not visible with the case on.
Heres a vid from like 2 weeks ago of him removing the arc pulse at 48 seconds
Only flaw is the bottom piece of the pulse can cause the back piece of the iphone to not be flush anymore due to its tightness
I have yet to find a case where the buttons were easy to remove. The Torras ones were maybe the worst I have experienced. It's like you need a pry tool or to put a crease in the edge of the case to get under a button edge. I just keep the default buttons at this point

Any problems with the dreaded white haze building along the back edges with the canyon color?

Not sure this is after the drop test as he has on a black Arc and no horse sticker on the back.
The drop test vid was like 3 months ago and this vid was 2 weeks ago. The translation subtitles say something along the lines of "heres what the phone looks like after all these months"
Nah bud. I haven’t noticed anything yet.

Just a heads up, the Mous Limitless is back on sale for 25% off on Amazon US. I ordered the aramid for my 17PM.
I recently bought the Caudabe Sheath, and it finally arrived this week. It’s a solid case and I think, it definitely offers good drop protection. But I can't help myself... I think it's honestly really ugly lol. Compared to the Paragon, the Apple silicone cases, or other cases, it just can't compete. I feel like I'm walking around with a brick in my hand.🥴 Returning it from Germany to the US wouldn't really be worth it, so I'll keep it. But I don't think I'll be using it very often. 😅

I’ve returned my faulty Aramid Fiber Limitless back to Amazon for a full refund. Then I kinda fixed the warped CC button area on a replacement they sent me by rubbing and massaging that area with a finger. 😳

Glad we didn't get a video 🤣
Commenting on that would have resulted in me getting a permanent ban lol.
What do you mean not comfortable around the house? Is it all the grooves on the case?
