So i am a very detailed kind of person. And i dont like cases with poor workmanship. For me personally the more expensive the case is,the better quality i expect.(but thats just me and the cases sold in Indonesia)

cases with perfect workmanship.
1.Mous Limitless 3.0/USD$43
2.Caudabe SHEATH/USD$20
3.Spigen Tough Armor/USD$16
4.Ringke Fusion X/USD$15
5.Spigen Mag Armor/USD$25

cases with poor workmanship.
1.Pelican Shield Kevlar/USD$65
(Squeeks when picked up,front lip not tight)
2.Lifeproof NEXT/USD$67
(Squeeks at times,front lip not tight,camera cutout not tight)
3.Pitaka MagEZ PRO 2/USD$50
(Front lip is messy
4.Mous Limitless 3.0/USD/43
(The “Aramid” gets chipped quite easily)
5.Pitaka MagEZ/USD$50
(Top and bottom not precise thus there is a gap)

my point is nowadays quality have been lowered for some brands but some brands are getting better or still just as good. For example Ringke. Im really amazed at how good the quality is(Not for drop protection/nuclear winter)

and the worse part is there isnt any 30 days money back guarantee in Indonesia so for cases like the Mous Limitless 3.0 i bought a few and the same goes for the Pitaka MagEZ. I have attached “proof of purchase” for those who are gonna be pissed or saying its fake. I have bought more from outside of the online marketplace but ill skip it.

USD$1 = IDR14.500.

I have just stuck with the Black Nomad MagSafe, best of the bad bunch, wouldn’t mind trying the Caudabe synthesis magsafe, but its $50AUD and weeks to get it here.
Have tried too many others, am all in with magsafe now so that narrows it down.

As you can see in the screenshot provided. I bought 3 x Mous Limitless 3.0…
You have the exact same case listed in your post as “perfect workmanship” (#1 Mous limitless 3.0) and also listed as “poor workmanship” (#4 Mous limitless 3.0). That’s what @Detonation is referring to. The purchasing of the same case numerous times isn’t in question here.

Or, are you only referring to the Mous 3.0 Aramid case as having poor workmanship?

Yes. I did buy the same case 3 times because they are tight on the front(Thus dust will not easily get in between the case and phone). The perfect Mous had tight lips and the Aramid at the back didnt chip. And the suede inside was perfect no lifting.

The first Mous had lifting suede,the second had a chip on the Aramid not long after using. The third seems to be better(the perfect Mous). I also have the Mous for my Airpods Pro and yes they chip too.
 
I have 23 cases and the last one I got was the dbrand Grip with the Black Swarm skin for the iPhone Pro Max I’ve been in this case for about a month now and haven’t wanted to Change out to another case. It’s well made, very grippy and comfortable with great buttons. It’s also MagSafe which to me is a plus.

I have the G10 version of the pelican shield. I don’t have any of those issues and find it’s drop protection second to none. The only build quality issue I’ve had it with the camo green finish peeling off the rubber parts (buttons and mute flap) the lifetime warranty is nice too.
