I found you four years ago when I purchased my iPhone 12 Pro Max. The Mous case was amazing. Here I am four years later, looking for the best case for my new iPhone 16 Pro Max. Of course, I will be using your links to make my purchase. Thank you for everything you do!

[@WooDeWow]

Did u end up getting a Mous ? or Flolabs? or what?

[@irenexenos7236]

@@WooDeWow I decided to get the Flolab case that he rated as his #1. I’m having way more fun with the customizable buttons than I anticipated haha. The case seems strong. I rely on these videos and his testing.

[@WooDeWow]

@ aye okay! Good to know! yeah after seeing what everyone was saying about the Mous for iPhone 16 pro max I think ima return it , I just ordered the Flolab case and screen protector, and the orange and blue customization button and camera , definitely is cool. Just thought I’d ask since you been using Mous for a while and so have I . What case did you end up going with the clear or the transparent one ? White or black ? Also what color you do with your buttons ? Just curious !

[@irenexenos7236]

@@WooDeWow I went with the FLOLAB Surtect Tri-Fusion Magnetic for iPhone 16 Series Phone Case Black Frame Matte Translucent. I picked the white iPhone, so the black frame with the white showing looks pretty cool. I've had the case for about a month now. I ordered MANY different buttons. I had a Thanksgiving themed color scheme with orange, yellow, and red, and now I've moved on to Advent, with purple and pink. Christmas might be a little bit harder, as the green is more yellowish lime green than a forest green, but it is distinct from the yellow, which is more like a daisy. I'll probably have black and yellow and a splash of purple for New Year's, black and orange for Halloween, etc. Basically, my phone will now mimic my holiday socks haha. For what it's worth, my original plan was to get orange and blue only, as I am a University of Virginia alum, so I think you're choosing well.

[@MrBOuellette]

I love mouse, but this is the first time that I refuse to give them my money until they get rid of the cut out especially at that price. I’ll stick to the basic Apple Silicon case until then the point of a case is to protect the phone, not leave parts of it exposed

[@Lewinium]

I was pretty disappointed in their cases lately. But don’t know how they are from last year

[@bobbah8]

This is the first time I went with the Apple Silicone case for the same reason

[@SCATXXV]

I was disappointed with the ip13 cases as they got rid of the microfiber AND the sim card tray slot. I'm glad the microfiber is back, but the cut out was just pure lazy

[@RobinHuang-m2w]

Can you do a review on mous case with the new glass button

[@KeyboardSavant]

I'd recommend the Supcase "Unicorn Beetle Mag" or Spigen "Ultra Hybrid T MagFit," for those of you who are wanting the camera button control to be functional (and protected). I have the Supcase on my iPhone 16 Pro Max, and my partner is using the Spigen on the 16 Pro. Each of them have a unique approach and fitting over the sapphire layer. No issues whatsoever with responsiveness on either case and personally, the Supcase is preferred, as the button is slightly raised as well. (Apologies if this is double-posted, I was on mobile.)

[@kekekenny]

I was wondering about both cases, thanks! would you like to give a short review about button tapping feeling for both cases?

[@Clone895]

This is the case that I purchased, and it seems like one of the better notchless options (especially at only $19)... Now I just need my 16 Pro Max to get delivered, so I can test it .-.

[@zeromythosver.]

⁠@@kekekenny I’ve been using the Supcase Unicorn Beetle for a few days and really like it, it looks very clean in the green color on my Desert color phone I’m not the most enthusiastic about the Camera Control button, but wanted it to work for when I do use it, and with some getting used to it works perfectly fine with this case’s conductive button

[@kekekenny]

@zeromythosver. thanks for sharing, may consider it definitely.

[@funkyflights]

I would thoroughly recommend the Shieldon leather range..the 15 and 16 versions have a detachable inner sleeve, so it is still protected when attached to a Magsafe charger. And yes, the camera control works fine. My friend who has a 16 Pro bought one. I have one for my 13..

[@hontje4570]

I'm really disappointed in Mous. I basically already planned to get the Limitless case for my new iPhone since it protected my old one for five years. But after this year's redesign reveal, with that large, ugly cutout, made me switch to another brand.

[@DannyTammaro]

I bought 2 cases for the 16 PM and sent them back. Too slippery for me

[@jacobbernard6605]

Go with the Pitaka military grade case, I prefer them over the Mous Limitless. I’ve used both.

[@GodOfWar109]

The speck cases are always top notch, also the buttons wear in and feel a lot better after a few weeks of use.

[@daltoncobbs160]

Just wanted to add that mous has since added a new case that covers the camera control button similar to the apple silicone case!

[@ekxiong]

Love your reviews. They seem genuine and honest which makes me trust you. I’ve just ordered your #1 pick for the iphone 16 pro max case. Looks stylish yet does not lack in the protection department. The affordable price is a bonus. Can’t wait for the product to arrive. Thanks for doing the homework for us. Keep the videos coming.

[@ekxiong]

Update: The phone case so far has met/exceeded my expectations. Thanks for the recommendation.

[@Dtrain79]

My last 3 iPhones (14 pro max, 15 pro max, and 16 pro max) have been rocking the Torras MagSafe Kickstand case and I love them. Strongest magnets I have tried (except for MagSafe case) and great all around protection. The 16 Pro max case doesn’t have a full cut out either. The kick stand is a life saver.

[@jesseraybatista]

Thank you for the review. That helped me, especially when I know nothing about cases. I have to say I’m a fan.

[@Tootired2bgood]

Need to test the new Magbak Case. It’s awesome.

[@ras9182]

Thank you for this review. My iphone 13 has the Caudabe Sheath and Flolab screen protector that you recommended 3+ years ago. They have worked extraordinarily!!

[@rtrann9ball]

Im sure you saw.. but you’re on the Mous commercial for your review and because of you (and others) they redesigned the case! Great work! Will you do a re-review of the Mous Limitless 6.0 V2?

Perfect. Just bought a 16 and need a case. Thank you

[@ryansegovia9985]

Supcase has a couple of cases that are fully enclosed and use capacitive buttons like the Apple cases

[@Xerpocalypse_]

I have one, unfortunately their gold-plated-pin capacitive transfer system isn't very good when you use the pad of your finger. Fingertip works better.

[@boogeymanw9643]

It works but rather annoying. I will go with silicone case until later someone will come up with revision

[@tanamati6832]

Got one, the button works fine. Much better than a cutout.

[@chmm316]

Received mine but haven’t use it . Felt the outside smooth the inside u can feel the pin will it scuff or damage the button? Share your thoughts pls thanks

[@tanamati6832]

Nah I don’t think so. No scuffs so far.

I am not a fan of the cut-out camera button cases. I tried several at the Apple Store, and I’m using the Apple Silicone case until there are better non-Apple options. AppleCare will have to be my 1st level drop protection for now.

[@WiddlePokeBunz]

I get my 16 plus tomorrow and this video convinced me to get the flolab case. I went with white and clear to show off the pink. Theyre on sale right now for 20 bucks on amazon and their website. They dont have the buttons on amazon right now so you need to get those on the website but be aware of shipping. So the 4 dollar buttons will be way more. I skipped out on the pink buttons and went with amazon for free shipping. If they add the buttons to amazon later i might snag them. Just feeling the case without having the phone yet, it feels great. Its not bulky or heavy so i feel confident it wont cause comfort issues with the phone over time. Also the magsafe design does hold my popsocket really well so im confident i wont drop my phone using that. Cant wait to pop it on my new phone tomorrow.

[@niksterche]

Which would be the best case if i'm only looking for maximum protection?

[@La3man]

Purchased the FloLab off your recommendation here.. Was at an amusement park taking a picture over some really rough asphalt Started to lose grip of the phone out over my head about 6.5 feet off the ground Tried to catch it as it started to fall and instead ended up pushing it toward the ground faster! Crash! FloLab protects an iPhone 16 pro max from a fast “fall” on rough asphalt from ~7 feet up.. confirmed!

[@TheSpeedyBlueNinja]

The blue on the iPhone 16 looks really good!

[@inkimmerthing]

Great video as always, next time could you add a visual representation of the score system for each case. It would be easier for me to see how many points the case has for each category that I prioritise.

[@Paa375]

Good luck with that

[@SonyaGayle]

Yes the color of the kislux is beautiful and it is a great decision, maybe one day they will add feet and straps. It would be nice to have a bigger bag during the colder months when we have to store gloves, beanies, scarves, etc…

[@jaydeschain4991]

Mous really drop the ball this time. I’ve always bought a Mous case but that huge cutout made me look elsewhere. Ended up with the Caudabe Synthesis and it feels like a quality product

I got the flolab case because of this video and I love it, but make sure you get the transluscent case because the clear one scratches so easily with just MagSafe accessories

[@danbogart]

Great video. So happy to finally see a channel not hyping ESR cases. I have to admit, I bought into the influencer hype and bought one for my wife. She had the “classic hybrid” case on her 14 pro for two days before she dropped it for the first time (waist height on tile floor). The back glass of the phone completely shattered on that first drop. Keep in mind we have three young sons whom have kicked, dropped and thrown her phone all over the house for the last couple years and it didn’t have a scratch until the ESR case.

I don't plan on buying the new iPhone 16, but I like staying updated on how companies keep up. I'm a big fan of Mous, and I was a bit disappointed when they were at #4 for the first time. However, seeing Flolab at #1, which only costs $30, is insane! I'm also a massive fan of Flolab's Privacy Screen Protector! Thanks for doing this review!

Please also do a couple RhinoShield cases. The solid suit and the clear one. I’m thinking of getting the clear one. And one quadlock case for when I’m on my Bike

[@monkeyfish227]

Thanks. I was hoping someone would review these camera control buttons when using a case. A cutout makes the movement less “linear” and takes away the ease of sliding (which is what I assume). It would be helpful for those intending to use it to find out which non apple one is a good alternative. I would be surprised if all of them are working as nice

[@nathans5773]

Do you make the list of products reviewed or your scoring public? It would be nice to know what cases were not reviewed or didn’t make the cut and/why they didn’t. For example, the strength of the MagSafe attachment may not be as important to some people who don’t intend to use it.

[@kolbyjackson293]

So happy you get it. I’m sick of companies overcharging and under building. I have an ear case that’s like an otter box commuter on roids. Has a camera guard kick stand. Checks all the boxes and well built besides the fact that the phone pops out of the case easier than a horribly made silicone case. $30 and it’s one failing point makes it lose out to sub $10 cases for me. It’s was so close to perfect. But you do the right tests. I love it. Thanks man.

Been watching you for a while. I got a new iPhone 16 Pro and ordered a Flolab case based on your rating. I'm a little nervous because for my 14 Pro, my Mous Clarity case worked amazing and despite a few scuffs, still looks really good. It was the first time I only bought one case for my phone. Hopefully Flolab's new case works just as well, if not better.

[@haydennarine3756]

UPDATE: I got my Flolab "Surtect Tri-Fusion Magnetic Translucent Black" case yesterday evening. It's now 9:27am and the back looks like I've owned it for a year. There is almost no scratch resistance at all with so many micro-scratches. Also, the borders of the case feel nice and soft, but the plastic back feels cheap. It doesn't feel like a case that would withstand a high-impact drop. Flolab does offer a 30-day "hassle-free" return policy if the case doesn't match the customer's "satisfaction." However, it's only on unused products still in the box. Not sure how someone can determine if they are satisfied with their case in 30 days if it's not used. I'll probably use this case for a while until Mous cases go on sale. Tried and true product.

[@thegoalnet5915]

I do similar stuff for hockey equipment and don’t get sponsors, I appreciate what you do! Mous added a camera button cover now on the limitless, does that change your rating at all? I just got my pro and added the Flolab. The thin area by the camera button makes me nervous it’s gonna stretch and expand overtime, like an otter box I had and why I initially found your channel. I appreciate that cases have gotten insane in price, but it’s a $1000 device, if I need the $75 case, I can bit the bullet

[@JonathanLGreene]

The Problem with mous cases is they do not stay on the test of time. If you take your phone in and out of your case say to replace the screen protector, The edge will stretch and warp, reducing the protective nature of the case.
