Ugh…. WHY did Spigen add the cutout for the Apple logo again?!?! Looks so weird.

[@masterdoge17]

IT’S SO ANNOYING AND TACKY!!!!!!!!

[@Johnnygga]

I like the Apple cut out lol. Especially when you place the iphone face down and the Apple logo looks all shiny lol

[@Aditya_Kumar7622]

I hate the cutout too but some people love showing off that some logo.

[@rgmALC]

The cutout makes it seem like Spigen thinks it’s still cool to show off the logo. Like it’s 2012

MobileReviewsEh is the best, most unbiased phone case reviewer on KZbin - no one else even comes close. I don't even use Apple products and am an Android user, which means a lot of these cases don't have Android phone versions, but these reviews are so solid that I'll still watch the videos because some of the manufacturers do have cases for Android phones. That's so much I like this channel.

[@JMJAZZR51]

I bought the Mous Limitless 4.0- You can tell it’s a really well-built case, but I only made it 48 hours with it on my phone. The issue I had was it was as slippery as a wet bar of soap, it literally had no grip at all. The second issue was I wasn’t convinced the camera cut out would actually protect the camera if I dropped the phone. The lip seemed awfully close to the same height as the camera. Fantastic video, love your content!

[@ralfrudiger6652]

I would love to see you guys testing the Mous Infinity as well as the Clarity case in your top clear cases video. I‘m also very interested in a comparison between the top regular, clear, and slim cases. Especially drop protection wise. Love your videos. Keep it up🙏

I wanted to thank you for this review. After much consideration I have decided to go with rhino guard. The bumper case is absolutely amazing, and the look and feel on the iPhone it’s self it’s also great. I do like the open back and how well he lets me use all my magsafe accessories. Your channel is fantastic. Thank you so much for spending your own money for our amusement and for being 100% legit with your reviews and not getting influenced. Keep rocking out.

Appreciate the real reviews. I purchased the iPhone 13 Pro Max and bought a couple cases and accessories based on your reviews. Looking forward to the wallet review. I already purchased the Magbak Wallet and love it! But I am interested in some of the newer ones as well like the distil union wallet or the ridge for MagSafe.

[@philipmol]

Hi, I just wanted to congratulate you with your indepth and whitty reviews. Based upon your comments I've ordered the Casetify cover for my iphone 13 pro. It was supposed to be shipped out this week, but today I received a simple message that it will take another month to deliver due to production problems, without any option to cancel or a commercial discount. I have asked to cancel the order as I want to use my phone sooner. I'll keep you posted on how customer centric they are. Keep making magic, Philip

[@glennshibu5776]

any update? did it ever arrive? and if so, how is your experience with the case so far? a response would be appreciated ☺

[@s3renity690]

This is the best accessory review channel. Severely under rated.

[@DS-nu4lz]

Looking forward to the clear and thin cases! :)

[@Incubabe1787]

Thank you for these reviews. I was struggling to figure out what case to get. I've been an Otterbox loyalist for a long time, and I just ordered a Mous case (used your affiliate link and got a discount! That was very cool). I've always disliked how chunky Otterbox cases are so it was great to see the slimmer Mous case stand up to the kinds of clumsy shit my phone endures. I also checked out your video on camera lens protectors. Thank you for showing how damage-resistant the lenses are. Your channel saved me close to $50 with affiliate links and showing me the products I don't actually need. I really appreciate that.

[@Lt.Shineysides89]

how is the Mous case? slippy as hell?

[@jdub1139]

Just ordered the Mous Limitless 4.0 for my iPhone 13 Pro Max using your link. Thanks!

[@twovillages7168]

After using the Mouse case for ~2 years I gotta admit the amount of protection its given my phone is phenomenal. I've dropped my phone many times over the years, some of which were from pretty high up (8-10 ft.), and my phone is still good as new. I also really like the aesthetic and the accessories that you can buy with it. The only thing I really dislike about the Mous case is that I find the case to be rather slippery. The sides of the case are not very grippy and I found myself needing to buy a pop socket due to occasionally dropping the phone due to the grip. I do think these drops were due to the non grippy sides because previously I had the DBrand case with grippy sides and found myself dropping the phone less often during the time I had it.

[@RTDon]

Ordered the Mous Limited 4.0!!! From your early reviews. Happy iPhone 13 Pro user.

[@1967Rick]

Hello, used your links and got 2 cases for iPhone 13 pro max the mous 4.0 came in first. And is great! Thank you for your reviews!👍

[@sarrum7696]

Question on the Ironarmor - You said it “isn’t as robust”. Meaning it’s not going to hold up as well in drop scenarios?

[@bradf7043]

Based on your advice, I ended up buying the Limitless 4.0 and Flolab screen protector for my new iPhone 13. They both came in today and I can’t believe the fit, comfort of use and protection they offer. I’ll be recommending them both along with your channel to anyone I know in search of phone protection and accessories.

[@YungCarl10]

What finish did you choose for the Mous case? I have the Walnut one lol

[@Loknath009]

I love your videos, but for me the best case is the one that offers the best protection. So maybe you can show some drop tests? It would be nice to see something like that from reviewers that aren't trying to sell their own cases.

[@campbelllendinggroup9218]

In my experience, the Magbak case starts off very slick (I actually returned my first one for the 12PM having already had one for my old XR that I loved). But after trying another 15 cases I went back to the mag bak and just stuck it out and now it’s much grippier and very easy to use. But I do wish it was as rigid as the apple silicone. Regarding Casetify…..after one day of using the back was so scratched up that I returned it. Spending $80 on case only to have it scratched up in 24 hours was unacceptable. I’ve also tried the mous but one handed use was much harder due to slick sides and back and the extra bulk.

[@JustanotherLiz]

How the heck do u use your phone one handed? I haven’t been able to do that since I had the iPhone 5S. You must have HUGE hands

[@Durataur]

@@JustanotherLiz you must have tiny hands. I use my phone one handed, daily. And my hands are average sized.

[@lindseyeskew2922]

I’m so glad you said that about casetify. I’m looking for a protective case but I do want cute. Casetify is pricey for the 13 promax unless you settle for the compostable. I’ve got sneaky kids who play on my phone and I need safety for this expensive bad boy!

[@michaelellis6384]

@@JustanotherLiz yes its sounds good for me too get my iPhone 13

[@abletothink]

I really like the Rugged Shield case. Don't think it's MagSafe compatible but it's basically a clone of the old cases that Magpul stopped making and I love how grippy it is while not being sticky at all. It's based on a rifle magazine design though so it's pretty tacticool looking. Plus it's only $10.

In my personal opinion my go to is Pitaka EVEN THO MagSafe isn’t being used with their cases. The magnet system they have is also in my opinion on par with MagSafe as a whole. They are durable and rugged while maintaining a solid and relatively slim look for your device. Pitaka would’ve easily made my top 3 and possibly my number 1 pick.

I bought the Mous Limitless 4.0 for my new IPhone 13 Pro Max and it’s probably the best case I’ve ever had on a phone. It’s really protective but still slim and feels great in the hand, I highly recommend the speckled fabric because it’s quite grippy. It just feels really well designed and made.

[@franciscojuarez8326]

On the speckled back (I got it for the 11s and they were leather back then so I'm not sure if they really made it into a fabric) the edges of it got smooth after a while and looked funny

[@hog_hedge]

@@franciscojuarez8326 this time it’s actual fabric that has been has a rubberised finish. It feels really nice in the hands but time will only tell to see how it wears. If it lasts a year I’ll be happy, I’m used to the Apple leather cases and I have never had a case last more than a year.
