Not really sure why I’m sharing this, but I’m a little bummed about spending $50 on a premium case that is not really that great. The materials and design touches don’t feel special, in fact I’d say it’s less comfortable since the side material is so hard and not grippy.

I’ll probably be sending it back. Which sucks, because it looks badass. But how often am I looking at the back of my phone anyway?

Mous Limitless 4.0 Case review (and comparison with the Otterbox Symmetry+)

Mous Limitless 4.0 Review (and comparisons with Otterbox Symmetry+)

So in case anyone is interested, here’s my review of the new MagSafe compatible Limitless 4.0 case from Mouse.

I’ve used the Otterbox Symmetry cases with my last few phones and decided to go for the Symmetry+ for my 12 Pro Max but was curious about Mous cases because everyone is always raving about them.

Decided to order the new Limitless 4.0 with the walnut finish and, whilst it’s a nice case, I’ll be returning it and sticking with the Otterbox for now.

First, it’s just beautiful, no discussion, the walnut back looks extremely smart and just sexy.

However, the biggest downfall for me is how freaking slippery it is. The side offer almost no grip and I could see this slipping out of my hands continuously. This is extremely disappointing as it kills the usefulness of the case for me and it’s the dealbreaker.

Another thing that disappointed me is that the actual case looks different than how it’s pictured on the Mous website. The pictures online show a completely flush/flat back. But the real case has a noticeable raised frame or “camera bump” so it doesn’t lay flat how I was expecting. Good to keep in mind if this is a feature anyone was after.

Apart from that, the magnets in the back actually feel stronger than the Otterbox so that’s a plus for Mous. The volume and power buttons are also more clicky and responsive on the Limitless.

Overall I’ll be sticking with my Symmetry+ which offers considerable more grip overall and in my opinion a bit more protection too.

I’m disappointed because I thought the Mous was going to be the perfect combo of sexiness and protection. If they ever add more grip to those sides I’ll be sure to check them out again but at the moment (and specially for the price) I’d say skip it.

Hope this helps anyone out there.

I recently picked up the Mous Limitless 6.0 case in the speckled fabric variant, and after using it for a bit, I’ve got a mix of thoughts on it.

What I like: • Grip: The case has a decent grip. It’s not the most grippy case I’ve used, but it’s definitely not slippery either. It feels comfortable to hold, which is nice.

What I don’t like: • Phone Gets Warm: The biggest issue I’ve noticed is that my phone heats up when charging with this case on. This wasn’t something I ever experienced with my old Spigen Ultra Hybrid case, which kept my phone cool. The Mous case, though, makes it noticeably warm, especially during charging. • Button Feel: The buttons on this case are a bit finnicky. They feel kind of loose, moving up and down instead of feeling solid. It’s not the best experience when trying to press them. • Camera Button Cutout: The cutout for the camera button is pretty large, and I’m a bit worried that if I drop the phone, it could end up damaging the camera button. It doesn’t feel like it offers as much protection as I’d expect for that area. • MagSafe: The MagSafe on this case is pretty weak compared to my old Spigen case. It doesn’t feel as secure, and sometimes I’m concerned that it might not stay in place, especially when charging.

Final Thoughts: I got the case for 50% off, and at that price, I can live with it, but I wouldn’t pay full price for it. Between the heating issue, weak MagSafe, and the camera button cutout, it’s not something I’d recommend at full price. If you can get it on sale, maybe it’s worth considering, but otherwise, I’d look at other options.

I totally get wanting to make sure that the new button works with the case, but the screen side could have at least still had the plastic ring connecting the top half of the case. I love mous cases and want to stick with them but I own a high-end detailing business and climb around things all day for work on gravel, asphalt, and all types of surfaces that my phone could potentially fall onto and that one section is now not going to be protected whatsoever. Is there any plan for a revision now that they have actually got their hands on the new phone and will they honor changing cases bought now out if they revise it? Otherwise I may for the first time be buying an apple case, which I really don’t want to do, anyone else got some recs? I just love the carbon/aramid fiber look and still want reasonable durability but always use screen/camera protectors.
