Always love your videos ❤ thank you for sharing your time and thoughts!
You are so welcome! Thanks so much for watching, and taking the time to comment! ❤️
Thank you for this video.
My pleasure! Hope you found it to be helpful!!
Love all this kind of video!! Can you also review benks cases?
Thanks! Definitely plan to review some Benks cases. Love the look of the ArmorPro 😊
First time watcher and really enjoyed your video. I had a hard time finding a review for cases that just protect and the main objective wasn't how the case looked. Every case company has their claims of how much protection they offer but I personally start seeing any of the cases from various manufacturers only last around 2 years. It is time to try something new and see but I saw the comment on Rhinoshield cases from one faithful customer saying that their cases last about the same time.
I'm not surprised by the 2 year figure...that very well may be so. Of course, everyone's experience will be a bit different, depending on how they use their phones.
Personally, I can't really comment helpfully on longevity and durability because as a case reviewer, I change my cases way too much!!
Thanks for watching!!!
Hi Kristin. As always a pleasure to watch your videos. No upgrade for me this year. Will keep my iPhone 14 Pro Max. For me the Mous Aramid Fibre case would be my choice. I used it for my iPhone 13 Pro and loved it very much. The Casetify Case would be a no go for me. It looks way too bulky and would make the iPhone 15 Pro Max almost brick like. Part of the appeal for the Pro Models this year are how lighter feeling they are.
Hi Shilan! Great to hear from you! And I can totally see not upgrading from the 14 Pro Max...it's an excellent phone, and only 1 year old. I am really looking forward to the reduced weight of the 15 Pro and 15 Pro Max this year, however!! It should be a real pleasure. And I hear you on the size of the CASETiFY Ultra Bounce...it is too much phone case for me, personally...I prefer CASETiFY's Impact case. It's much smaller and still offers a respectable 8.2 feet of drop protection. 😊 Enjoy the rest of your weekend!
Been using Rhinoshield since 2016 and they have been great
The cases last around 2 years with heavy use
Recently had a very tight fit on my wife's iPhone 11 which caused the screen to malfunction
I'm finally upgrading from an iPhone 8Plus to 15 Pro Max
Just ordered a Solidsuit along with tempered glass screen protector using your discount code...THANKS!!!
Wanted to order the Casetify but couldn't justify the price along with the high shipping cost ($45)
Thanks for all the amazing reviews
🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹
Hi James! Thanks for sharing your RhinoShield experience…long time customer!! You are going to be amazed at the changes in the iPhone experience from the 8 Plus to the 15 Pro Max, for sure!! Which SolidSuit color did you go with for your 15 Pro Max?
@@TheTechReviewer can’t wait for the 15 Pro Max…definitely overdue lol
I ordered the black solidsuit with Naruto print
I’ve come to find the prints offer some level of grip on the back of case
You are absolutely right on that! I always prefer the print SolidSuits for that reason. Hope you love it!!
love all your videos!!!! that Casetify is where its at!!!!
Thanks so much!! Team CASETiFY!!
ordered the mous for my 15 pro. Used to have one on my iPhone 10 and really liked it.. Glad top hear the magnets are 2nd in your tests, Some reviews have said the 5.0 had weak magnets. I use a magnet mount in my car so we will see how they hold up.
Hi Christopher! While the magsafe strength isn't the very strongest I've encountered (RHINOSHIELD is better, as is ESR's Halolock system, for example), it is still good. Hope you love your new Limitless 5.0! Which variant did you get...Aramid Fibre?
@@TheTechReviewer speckled fabric!
The grippiest of all the Limitless cases, for sure! Although, I don't know about the new Atlantic Blue and Forest Green. They might also be grippy...I haven't seen them in person...Anyway, Speckled Fabric is a good choice...very secure in the hand. Enjoy!!
Hey Christopher, do you think that case would look nice on the Natural Titanium color? @@christophergardiner7372
Hey Kristin 😄Am looking forward to these now. It's my first upgrade for a few years so on the case hunt again 👍🏻
Hi Richard! Lovely to hear from you! So which phone model are you getting?
@@TheTechReviewer 15 Pro Max in natural titanium. 👍🏻 Nice change from my 12 Pro Max.
Nice one as always great content can’t wait to see the new phones in the cases 😎🇨🇮
@@Richard_BarnesCongrats on the upgrade. The Natural Titanium colour looks beautiful but I’d have to see it in person. I’m a bit undecided. Are you getting in on launch date?
@@ShawnG-kv2xm thx 🙏🏻 yes on launch day and it’s the first ever time I’ve ever got in the Apple Store app and had it pre-ordered before the App Store crashed. 🙂 (already pre-applied for the loan for monthly payments etc)
Objective and Honest Review! Thank you Kristen!😊😊😊
You are so welcome, @vasiovasio! Thanks so much for your kind comment, and thanks for watching! Are you upgrading to the 15 Pro Max this year?
@@TheTechReviewer Well Max is too much for my palm size :), but the Ordinary Pro has a very good chance of being my next phone because I'm a web programmer and I use phones not just for myself, but for work and testing projects too.
From your review, Mous really shines and with one Sapphire screen protector, we can achieve a full 360 degrees for the iPhone!
By the way, for your videos, you use this unique white light base that I have never seen of any other reviewer, and with very close shots - only the devices or the cases in your hands this gives a very detailed perspective of the presented product!
Keep this format Kristen because is really informative!
@vasiovasio Hi Radoslav! Thanks so much for your kind comments. Really happy you enjoy my review style!! And I think you would really like the 15 Pro. It’s the best iPhone in years!! So light and smooth and beautiful!!
And Mous Limitless 5.0 is an excellent case choice! Sapphire is great as a screen protector choice if mega scratch protection is your goal, but if you are looking for overall protection, something like the Zagg XTR3 may be a better, and more reasonably priced choice. Good luck with your decisions!!
@@TheTechReviewer Thank you for the recommendations, Kristen! 😊
I went with the Mous for my iPhone 15 pro max which is on pre-order, just a good blend of protect without the bulkiness of the castify.
Awesome choice, David! What material variant did you choose? Aramid Fibre? And what color Pro Max do you have coming? My Pro Max will be Natural Titanium 😊
@@TheTechReviewer I went with the black leather Mous case as to not advertise my phone while walking,,I went for the Titanium blue, must admit I was very tempted with the Natural one also (still are a little) but blue it is. all the best
Stealth Mous! Sounds good!! And I'm also loving the Blue Titanium...as a reviewer, I always get both iPhone Pro series sizes, so I'm getting my 15 Pro in Blue Titanium. I'm hoping it will look somewhat similar to the Pacific Blue they had a few years back. Loved that color!!
Thank you for this comparison review! I’ve been using the Rhinoshield SolidSuit case for my past 2 iphones (iPhone 12 Pro and iPhone 6s) and they have protected my phone from drops no problem. I like the SolidSuit’s minimalist slim design and I personally prefer the smoother/slippery surface texture because an overly grippy case loses that sleek look & feel.
Would love to see how the newest SolidSuit feels and performs!
Thanks so much for sharing your experience, Kevin! So happy you’ve been pleased with your Mous case performance! I’ll definitely be doing a follow up review with the actual phones, so stay tuned!!
@@TheTechReviewerI was talking about the Rhinoshield SolidSuit-I haven’t used the Mous case before, but I’m sure they are a good choice as well!
🤦♀️ Clearly I wasn't reading very carefully!! Sorry, Kevin! I'm embarrassed now!! So, the new SolidSuit may be perfect for you! The SolidSuits started out as exceedingly slippery cases and have gotten slowly grippier over the years, with the very grippiest SolidSuits coming out last fall. I guess perhaps RhinoShield is getting back to its roots!!
I owned a rhinoshield case back on my 13 Pro Max, customized print solidsuit, was great! When the 14 Pro max came around, i ordered a 14 Pro max customized print solidsuit again, however not even a month of use, the back custom print was peeling, chipping after barely any heavy use. They had sent a new one, but same thing happened again with that case after a week or so. Ultimately had it refunded fully due to this issue. What I noticed from the 13PM there was a slight lip on the back of the case where the print was like it was recessed in a tiny bit. where the 14PM case the print was just kinda on top and you could feel/see the print edge which I think is what led to the print peeling so quickly.
I have been wanting a custom print case again for my 15PM (Blue Titanium), but casetify's case offers no action button, only the cutout so not a fan of that. Rhinoshield offers that but am quite nervous of the print again doing the same thing if the case is similar to the 14PM.
Any thoughts or recommendations for a custom print case besides Casetify/Rhinoshield or if Rhinoshields solidsuit might be fixed this go round possibly?
Hi @HydrosPlays! Really good question. So, RHINOSHIELD did a lot of experimenting with their SolidSuit case materials last year. The SolidSuit that first came out last September was unusually flexible and textured and although my initial review samples were all plain, I heard of people having trouble with how the prints were wearing on their new SolidSuits. I eventually got some print SolidSuits later in the fall and found that the material of the SolidSuit had totally changed from the ones I got several months earlier. The cases were much less flexible and had lost the textured, grippy feel that the initial versions had. The prints on the versions I received seemed fine, however. Now this year, the SolidSuit has changed yet again...the material is super smooth with zero texture. I should be receiving some print SolidSuit cases by Thanksgiving, but right now, I have no idea how the new SolidSuit cases will perform with prints on them. So, sorry I can't really give you an answer yet...but stay tuned!!
Fixed it!
Great news!! Thanks for sharing!!
Ive had a mous case with hybrid glass on my last three iphones and have also had three kids during this time. My phones have been dropped at least 100x from varying heights and all of them were perfectly fine until i eventually traded them in. I just got an iphone 15 and dont need to do any more research to buy another mous products becuz i know itll do its job.
Outstanding! Quite a testimonial for Mous!! Hope you love your new Mous case!!
I just recently stumbled upon your channel, and your reviews have been very helpful and informative, so thank you! I’m currently debating between the Mous Clarity 2.0 and the Mous Limitless 5.0 for my iPhone 15 Pro Max. My current case is far too slippery which is the main reason I’m looking for another one. Is it safe to assume that the Clarity 2.0 is the lighter of the two, while the Limitless 5.0 is the grippiest of the two? Which one would you recommend?
Hi! Thanks so much for your kind comments! So, you might think that the Clarity 2.0 is lighter, but it is actually slightly heavier. All that polycarbonate adds up! According to Mous, the 15 Pro Max version of the Clarity 2.0 is 47.9g, while the Limitless 5.0 Aramid Fibre is 45.8g. (And the IntraLock is 47.3g, if you are curious). I do think that the Limitless 5.0 cases are going to have more grip than the Clarity 2.0, although for a clear case, the Clarity 2.0 is fairly grippy. The IntraLock case also has a pleasant amount of grip...I've been using it a lot on my 15 Pro this week, and I'm loving it. Of course, of the cases in this video, the CASETiFY Ultra Bounce is going to be the grippiest, but it may be too big and busy looking for you!
@@TheTechReviewer Thanks for responding so quickly! It is surprising that the Clarity is actually heavier, but that certainly makes my decision easier. The Ultra Bounce does seem a very nice case, but you’re right in that it’s a little too bulky for my taste. Limitless 5.0 it is :)
Hope you love it!!!
I've yet to purchase the 15 pro max because of the global shortage 🤣.
Going every Saturday to the Apple Store to ask.
All of the cases are lovely, and you always need more than one.
My favourite however is the Casetify Ultra Bounce.
ALways enjoy your videos, Kristin.
Cheers,
Perry
Hi Perry!! So sorry to hear it…the 15 Pro Max has been a really hard iPhone model to source. I guess because of the improved camera, it is much more popular than the 15 Pro. Fingers crossed that you get yours soon!!! And the Ultra Bounce is a super protective case…it is what I have on my 15 Pro right now. I’m on vacation, and I wanted to maximize protection for my brand new iPhone…especially the lens protection, as I’m spending some of my vacation time at the beach. The Ultra Bounce was the perfect choice to bring along!
Thanks for the video. I bought the iPhone 15 Pro. I've used Apple & Spiegel cases previously. I'm likely going to get the Pitaka case because I'm more minimalist, & I'm not hard on my iPhones. Before watching your video I was struggling to decide between Mous & Pitaka. Your comparisons helped me choose!
So happy to hear that you found my video to be helpful in making your decision. Hope you love your new Pitaka case!!
Curious, does the Mous aramid limitless case show a lot of fingerprints, does the aramid material do a good job and preventing scratches like fingernail nicks or car keys for example?
It is good against scratches, but it will show greasy fingerprints or smears quite easily.
I ordered the mous again. It was a great case last year so hoping for the best
Hi Cody! I think you’ll love it. It’s a great case. Which variant did you order? The aramid fibre?
@@TheTechReviewer yep. I like how soft it feels haha. I have always wanted to try the leather one but always seem to order aramid. I really thought about pitaka but for the 14 pro when I had it while it felt nice and high quality I had a hard time
Holding it
I have chosen this case too. It looks best and I think it can handle occasional drop or two.
@@TheTechReviewer I bought off your link. Thanks..What screen protector do you recommend? What is best value for one?
Yep, Cody! Lots to love with the Aramid Fibre Limitless 5.0. Great feel. And the sides really improved last year, with the increased texture overall and the rippled grip ribs.😊
Always went with mous. Just wish they used metal buttons at least they got the speaker cut corrected
Well, maybe they are saving the metal button upgrade for next year, Joseph 🤣
please do a review on Nomad cases
Thanks for the suggestion…I’m I big fan of Nomad’s cases…I’ll see what I can do…
Does iPhone 15promax cases feel the same as the regular 15? I don’t have big hands, that’s why I got the smaller phone. Would it feel the same and protect the phone equal parts? Thanks for answering when able.
Hi Josh! I think the protection level should be the same for the regular iPhone 15 for these cases...they will just be a bit smaller.
Just an FYI regarding the Casetify Recasetify recycling program you mentioned.. I tried to return my old iPhone 12 Casetify cases for recycling but was the told by customer support that program is "finished" but to stay tuned for future upcoming programs.
Really...that's bizarre. It's advertised heavily on their site and my CASETiFY rep was just extolling its virtues to me a few weeks ago. Either the representative you spoke to was confused, or they have had an abrupt shift in direction? I'll see if I can find anything out. It may be geographically specific. What country are you in?
@@TheTechReviewer that is a Chinese company! You really think they give a shit about recycling? 🤣
Actually, Mark, I’ve never lived in a place with more of a focus on recycling. Shanghai instituted a hardcore trash separation and recycling program a few years ago…😊
I live in the United States in the state of Massachusetts. I spent 20 minutes browsing the United States website and doing Internet searches, and I was unable to find a shipping address to return phones for recycling. So I emailed customer support and they promptly replied with the info I stated above. I did think it was weird for them to so heavily promote their recycling initiatives and then to say that it's finished until a future program is reinitiated. PS thanks for your thorough and timely reviews with regard to the new iPhone lineup.
@grabinf Hi Frank. Great state…I went to college outside Boston. Perhaps CASETIFY has paused the collection of its cases in the US? They are still collecting them in their retail stores in Asia, know. I walk by a CASETIFY store very frequently…
mous case it is. I've never had any problems with mous. I use one with fabric on the back for my business cellphone (S22 Ultra) and I already ordered the limitless 5.0 in forest green for my iPhone 15 Pro Max.
Ordered the blue! Looking to get the blue titanium of the 15 pro
I hate mous on my 13PM,
@@DjangoGroenwhy?
Great to hear, @3pwned! Hope you love your new Forest Green Limitless 5.0!! What color 15 Pro Max are you getting?
Sweet!! I have the Blue Titanium 15 Pro coming on Friday. Stay tuned for my unboxing video, @lzeezus!
Have you ever tested the Gear4 case with D30 technology? I’ve had really good luck with them. Supposedly D30 is a really advanced shock absorbing material.
I have reviewed quite a few Gear4 cases...they are a quality product! But it looks like the ZAGG/Gear4 cases this year no longer use D3O...they have moved to Graphene! I hope to get some review samples soon! 🤞
@@TheTechReviewer thanks! I’ll keep an eye out for your reviews.
@_DST0NE_ 😊
Hello, I really enjoyed your review! I also like how you respond to most if not all comments. One thing I noticed is you claim to not know too much about the longevity for cases as you are always switching them out, and I really like that. If you had to choose to rotate between 3 cases only, which ones would they be? (it doesn't have to be any of the ones mentioned in the video). Thank you :)
Hi Erick! Thanks for your kind comment. I assume you are asking about cases for the iPhone 15 Pro/Pro Max? It's a little hard to say, because I don't have that many cases for the 15 Pro and Pro Max yet...still waiting for Speck, and OtterBox and a number of other case brands to arrive. And although I have both the Pro and Pro Max phones every year, I can only use one phone at a time, and that phone is almost always the regular Pro, rather than the Pro Max. (The Pro Max is just too big and heavy for me to use...although I am tempted to try the 15 Pro Max as my daily driver this year due to its significantly lighter weight.) So far, in my one week with my 15 Pro, I find myself primarily using the Mous IntraLock case. Great hand feel, slim feel, very protective. And unlike the beautiful Mous Limitless 5.0 in Aramid Fibre, it shows zero fingerprints. The tendency of aramid fiber to show fingerprints really bothers me...I can't stand having my case looking all smeary. So I love the Aramid Fiber cases in theory, but don't like actually using them. The same goes for pretty much any soft touch finish. They look great right out of the box, and feel great in the hand, but they show greasy smears very easily, so I can never stand using them long term. Last year, for the 14 Pro, my 3 favorite cases for my personal every day use were the OtterBox Symmetry, the CASETiFY Impact, and the RhinoShield SolidSuit. Hope this helps answer your question!!
@@TheTechReviewer Thank you for your response! Your answer helps a lot. I'm currently rocking the iPhone 15 Pro and also prefer the smaller phone as opposed to the bulky Max. I've been looking for a few different cases to have in rotation as I prefer to have options on a daily phone case. I currently have the Apple Silicone case for my Blue Titanium iPhone Pro, I only got it because I didn't want to leave the Apple Store with a naked Phone, the thought is too scary for me, even with Apple Care +. I don't like smears on a phone case either so I'll definitely check out the ones you mentioned above. The Mous IntraLlock seems nice but I don't use a Bike or Tri Pod and wouldn't take full advantage of what the case offers for what it's priced at. I'll continue to check out your videos as you review more items for the iPhone 15 Pro! Thanks :)
Thanks, Erick! Best of luck in your search for the perfect cases for your beautiful new Blue Titanium 15 Pro!
Does the Casetify camera lens protection interfere with the new cameras on the 15 Pro Max in anyway. I’m just spitballing, but if the glass on the lens protection isn’t high quality, you might get some additional glare, or other abnormalities in your photos.
I didn't see any flash back issues or similar problems, but I'm sure I didn't test every possible eventuality. I think the biggest issue with this kind of lens cover is keeping it clean. Obviously if it isn't kept completely clean, your photo quality will be affected...
@@TheTechReviewerThanks for the quick response. Love your videos.
@TwelveBravo Happy to help!!
How are the magnet 🧲 strengths compare?
The strongest are on the RhinoShield SolidSuit, number two is Mous Limitless 5.0, third place is Pitaka MagEZ Case Pro 4, and 4th place is CASETiFY Ultra Bounce.
I would avoid ordering from Mous right now. I ordered a case, and then received an email a few days later stating that they could not honor the order (paraphrased) and they had no idea when more stock would be in. This was sent as an urgent email - asking me to select from one of the other choices (which did not appeal to me). My response was auto-replied, stating that they are overwhelmed and will try to get back to me in 3 days. I'm out over $200 for case and accessories and have no idea how long it will take to get this ironed out.
Pasting my reply to the comment you posted on my other Mous video, in case you didn't see it:
Thanks for sharing, Paul. I know this is a crazy time of year for case manufacturers...they are super busy. And their stock is really low...they weren't able to send me out a sample of the Atlantic Blue Limitless 5.0 for that reason. But you would think they would do a better job with their customer orders! I hope they offered to refund your money if none of the case choices appealed to you?
looks like I saw this same comment on multiple places. strange !!
@@shakildeYou did. I didn’t want anyone else to go through the same hassle I have
Yes, the same comment was posted on two on my Mous videos…that’s ok😊. Pretty common, actually…this way, the comment gets seen by more viewers. And Paul, the OP, certainly had a valid piece of advice to share. 😊
@@TheTechReviewer thank you. I’m happy to report that Mous has processed my refund
Hey have you done anything about the Toras case? Not sure how much of a lip it has
No, I haven't seen their lineup this fall yet...sorry!!
@@TheTechReviewer no prob! Thanks for the quick response! Looking like the Mous might be the best bet :)
There are some very nice cases from Mous this fall. My favorites are the Aramid Fibre Limitless 5.0 and the IntraLock...
2nd Mous case now on new phone. Couldn't see myself picking anything else. I'm very clumsy, and the grippiness is hard to beat.
Thanks for sharing your experience, Peter! Glad you are loving your Mous cases!!
How about how the sides are as is having give or firm etc and not just it’s soft and feels good.
The firmest sides are on the Mous Limitless 5.0 and the CASETiFY Ultra Bounce. The RhinoShield SolidSuit has the most flex to it...And the PITAKA MagEZ Case Pro 4 has the softest feeling sides. Hope this helps!
Your code worked. Thank you
Excellent!! Hope you love your new case! Which one did you order?
@@TheTechReviewer mod case with replaceable back and MagSafe compatible. Super excited
Outstanding!! They've made some nice improvements to the Mod NX this year. What color did you choose?
@@TheTechReviewer I choose white with red buttons. I never appreciated how good white border cases look on phones.
Awesome!! And on what color iPhone?
Is pitaka magsafe still weak like iPhone 14 version? you’ve mention lastyear that the 14 version have weaker magsafe than 13 version.
So, I don't have the previous versions any more to compare against, but it seems to me that the Pitaka MagEZ Case Pro 4 has stronger magnets than last year, but not as strong as the year before, where they were super strong. Hope this helps!
I have had the iPhone 13 PM Pitaka Fusion Weaving for almost 2 years now and will be ordering it again in January for a 15 PM.
I have had multiple drops and had 2 screen protectors damaged but no visible signs of damage to the case.
MagSafe seems just as strong 2 years later… these cases last that’s for sure. I don’t have the Pro version, I have the MagEZ Case 4 version… so no TPU either, very minimalist design
I wonder if that integrated lens protector, which looks like a plastic film,for the Casetify ultra bounce case interferes with the quality of photos?There are people on TH-cam that say the camera protectors interfere with picture quality.
Hi Preston! I think you have to keep it super clean, and it is harder to keep that kind of material clean than the sapphire of the actual lenses. If you keep it clean and scratch free, however, it shouldn't interfere with your picture quality...
@@TheTechReviewer Thank you. I think they should get rid of the integrated lens protector and keep the protective cover for the camera module.
I hear you, Preston! A viewer posted on here that it is possible to pop out the integrated lens protector from the Ultra Bounce, and he's right...it is possible. However, my rep from CASETiFY strongly discouraged doing this. I'm sure it significantly degrades the case protection...
I tried using your affiliate link for Mous but nothing. What's the code?
I’m so sorry…mous decided to stop using promo codes. I’m really hoping this change is temporary and they will bring them back, but for now, they aren’t working…
@@TheTechReviewer Ah thats why. Thanks for the super fast update!!
@@TheTechReviewer I also just had a bit of frustration trying to work out what I was doing wrong for the link/discount not to work. Any updates? Could they not give your customers a code for a little while? I see that there is still a 'discount code' section on their checkout. Thanks for the video BTW.
@kenbot77 I’m so sorry!!! Yeah, they took away the discount code with no warning…very frustrating!! At first they reinstated it for a few days and then they took it away again. I hope they change their minds and bring it back!!!
What battery pack is that?
Hi! That is the ESR Halolock Kickstand Power Bank. Great little power bank...comes in 5000 mAh and 10,000 mAh sizes, and the kickstand is absolutely outstanding. Here's my review of it: th-cam.com/video/KITk-sq39Po/w-d-xo.html
Discount code not working for the Mous cases.
Hi @Daytona! Mous has apparently cut off the discount code…I’m trying to get it reinstated, but no luck yet. So sorry!!
@@TheTechReviewer I understand. Hope you get it fixed soon. Great review of those cases btw. Super helpful!
@daytonablue2041 Thanks!! I hope I get the discount code issue resolved as well. And thank you for your kind comment about the video. I get so many questions about how these case models compare, that I thought people would find this helpful. Good luck with your case search!!!
i WANT TO GET THE CASTEFIY IPHONE 15PROMAX , because i like it better than the rhinoshield, but there is a collab they haven't put yet and they say the "14pro max case doesn't fit properly" I wanna know what you think cause I would just buy a 14 promax to get the collab I want
So...your phone is a 14 Pro Max?
the 15 pro max I am getting it, but the cases they have for the 15 pro max isn't all the collabs , and I was tying to get the collab that i want :'( . but they say it won't fit and idk about that one haha. @@TheTechReviewer
You shouldn't get a 14 Pro Max case for your new 15 Pro Max...it's not going to fit properly. CASETiFY is very busy making new cases for the new phones right now...hopefully they will soon come out with the 15 Pro Max version of the collab you have your heart set on. 🤞
Lol same, waiting for my Chainsaw Man collab to update to 15. So weird that they released it so recently but didn't have them ready to go.
@@tye_r I actually am over it and don't like it with the blue, but it sucks for sure!
The casetify bumper case scratches so easily on the back and dust and debris gets in the camera line protector
Yeah…I hear you! Unfortunately, glossy clear polycarbonate is quite susceptible to scratches. And it is crucial to keep the camera lens protector area very clean in order to not affect camera quality, but just like any other area with crevices, those crevices will tend to pick up dust. Those are definite downsides to the CASETiFY Ultra Bounce…
The Pitaka link isn't working..
Hi! Not sure what the issue is...from the error message, it sounds like a temporary problem...hopefully it will resolve. You can try this link instead: www.ipitaka.com/products/magez-case-pro-4-for-iphone-15
Great Video but I have a question. You did not include Otterbox. Any reason why?
I don’t have my OtterBox case samples yet! 🤣 Nothing against OtterBox, for sure. They make quality cases and I will be reviewing them in the next few weeks, hopefully.
Why is this brand not available in India? If I want to buy this, where should I buy it?
Which brand? Mous, CASETiFY, RhinoShield or Pitaka? All are available online...
Wanted Castify but action button is a cut out not a button
CASETiFY has one model with an action button this year...the CASETiFY Ultra Bounce shown in this review has an action button. 😊 Tragically, however, their other offerings for the 15 Pro and 15 Pro Max just have cut outs: the Impact, the Impact Ring Stand and the Bounce.
Perhaps RHINOSHIELD is a nice case but just keep in mind when you order it you will wait and wait and wait for the delivery to arrive. Shipping service they use in Europe is ABSOLUTELY useless....
I get the impression that Otterbox doesn't send too many free cases to reviewers, as I don't see many included in the multi-case reviews. Honestly, most of these cases seem like they are manufactured by the same few makers. Except for the Casetify, the other 3 look nearly identical. The Casetify price is affected by all the influencers on Instagram pushing it. $70 for the three other cases seem way too high when compared to say, the Otterbox Defender at the same price with more protective layers of case. If one is looking for serious protection, IMHO, I think you have to look past a one piece case that simply slips over the back of the phone.
Well said
OtterBox cases are also excellent. I hope to receive some cases to review soon...I don't have any OtterBox cases yet for the 15 Pro series, although I did review several OtterBox models last year for the iPhone 14 Pro / Pro Max. As far as similarities between the three non-CASETiFY cases in this review, they do look fairly similar from a distance, but if you have them in your hand, they look and feel quite distinctly different. I would never look at the Pitaka, Mous and RhinoShield cases in this review and think that they came out of the same factory. And as far as pricing is concerned, the Aramid Fiber found in the Mous Limitless 5.0 and the PITAKA MagEZ Case Pro 4 is relatively expensive, and no similar material is present in the OtterBox Defender. The RhinoShield SolidSuit, with no fancy Aramid Fiber, is priced more modestly at $44.99.
Personal favorite?
Hi Carlos. Hard to say, because they are so different. The Ultra Bounce is too much case for my needs...I don't need that level of protection. But CASETiFY makes some other great case models: I'm a big fan of their Impact Case. It's a much more manageable size that still gives you 8.2 ft drop protection. And the Mous Limitless 5.0 is a great case as well, although I prefer its close cousin, the Mous Evolution IntraLock case because the backplate on the Evolution IntraLock doesn't show fingerprints and has a pleasant amount of grip due to the grooves on the back. I think the PITAKA MagEZ Case Pro 4 is lovely, but I'd like just a bit more drop protection there...and the RhinoShield SolidSuit is too slippery for me this year. Hope this helps!! And thanks for watching!
@@TheTechReviewer Thank you very much for your time answering the question. I’ll take your advice.
Happy to help, Carlos!!
Which one of these was your favorite?
Tough call! They are all so different! I love the print and custom text options you get with CASETiFY (although the Ultra Bounce is too big for me personally...I prefer CASETIFY's Impact case), and the soft feel of the PITAKA MagEZ Case Pro 4 is very pleasant in the hand. I love the light weight, great magnets and wide color selection of the RHINOSHIELD SolidSuit (but not the complete lack of grip!), and the Mous Limitless 5.0 has a quality feel, great look, and comes in a variety of material backplates. It seems like it should provide outstanding protection, while remaining reasonably slim.
@@TheTechReviewer hi, thank you for informations it's helpful but i'm still lost at what will be the best option, they all have postives and negatives points but if you ahd to choose only one?, the prices are high so I can't buy them all to try.. with a clear case should I go MOUS , Casetify or Rhinoshield ? (will go from Iphone pro Max 11 with Mous Carbon fiber to Iphone 15 pro max)
For a clear case for the 15 Pro Max, I'd go with the CASETiFY Impact with a clear back and black sides. It's going to give you a lot more grip than CASETiFY's Clear case or RhinoShield's Clear case, and you have the option to add print designs or go with custom text if you want. The Mous Clarity 2.0 is also a nice case, but there are no customization options...
@@TheTechReviewer thank you for this quick and clear respons :) +1 subscribe ;)
@@TheTechReviewerI went with the Spigen rugged armor and the Spigen screen protector! Can’t wait for Friday to get my 15 pro max!
Mous is the most insignificant, least protective case I've ever owned, including $10 pieces of crap. During the 2 weeks I was using it my phone sustained more damage than throughout my entire 15 year history of phone ownership. Yes, I dropped my phone a LOT when I was delivering. But Defender handled it fine, and most other cases were at least something, the Mous is like designed to mess up your phone.
So sorry to hear it! Which phone model and which Mous case model?
@@TheTechReviewer The iPhone X Limitless
@WyzrdCat So, this was awhile back then?
I'm afraid I never reviewed that model. My experience with Mous started with the Limitless 2.0 and the iPhone Xs Max. Really sorry you had such a poor experience, though...sounds like you might have had a defective case...
Someone should tell case manufactures that if they put higher edge around the camera then the case will not be stable on flat surface. They obviously do not get this simple fact
I hear you...but some people really prioritize camera protection. And with the design of the iPhones, with the large protruding rear camera, some amount of instability is inevitable unless you make the rest of the case much thicker, or give the case high rear corners on all four sides.
!
Thanks for being first, @gokwolf!!
You need to update your mic settings and adjust the eq. Way too much saliva and lip smacking. I was going to watch but had to click off.
Sorry!
RhinoShield has to be the worst case created. (Being extremely honest)
Ouch!! What is your RhinoShield case experience? And which case?
@@TheTechReviewer the solid suit. Their attempt to have customisable components made it cheap and was not a secure fit. The case would just slip off. Like melted plastic
Thanks for sharing. Last year RhinoShield made a lot of changes to the SolidSuit. The version I reviewed in September had an entirely different feel than the version I reviewed later in the year...the first version was much grippier and more flexible and then the second version was less grippy and stiffer. And there was a problem with the swappable camera rims where they could come off unexpectedly. This year, the SolidSuit is even more slippery, and still quite flexible, but the camera rim problem should be solved as the camera rims are being attached by being pushed from the inside of the case outward, rather than the other way around.
I'll be interested in checking out the 15 Pro SolidSuit on the actual iPhone to see how secure its fit will be. Stay tuned!
Sorry, but why do CASETiFY have to make such ugly cases..
That on the outside yuck and that clear back with that weird pattern, as well as those ugly stickers...
uff.. looks like those iPad cases for kids..
🤣 Well, @TheFotoGuys, I'm guessing you aren't the demographic these are aimed at!! But CASETiFY also has more restrained looking cases... you can get plain ones, if the print look isn't for you. And if you aren't into the big Ultra Bounce corners, CASETiFY still has its Impact Case, which is much more traditional looking, as well as being quite a bit smaller.
