The Clarity 2.0 is available in Clear and Iridescent Dawn colors and is priced at $84.99, although the non MagSafe first generation Clarity is priced considerably lower at $59.99. The Limitless 5.0 variants in Walnut, Silver Pearl, Black Leather, Speckled Fabric and Bamboo are priced at $59.99 and the Aramid Fibre Limitless 5.0 case is $64.99. These cases are pricey, but they should offer extreme protection for your device and they are backed by Mous’s Lifetime Warranty. Many thanks to the kind folks at Mous for sending me out these samples to review.

So, it has been years since I've reviewed any Tech21 cases (although I liked them at the time) , so my info is woefully out of date. I'm American, but I am currently located abroad due to my husband's job, and some companies aren't willing or able to go through the hassle of shipping review sample cases overseas. Sadly, Tech21 falls into that category, so I can't give you any up to date info. So sorry!

    If Mous could update the buttons on the Mous Clarity 2.0 to the Limitless 5.0 buttons and make the bottom ports smaller to minimize dust and adjust the MagSafe magnet location in regards to the back camera and better grip, and a stronger Magsafe magnet like on a few other Magsafe cases on the market, I would buy the Mous Clarity 2.0 Iridescent Dawn with Magsafe. Any chance they will make these adjustments?

    So, I don't have the 14 Pro Max MagSafe SolidSuit yet (should have it in a few weeks at most), so I can't answer your question on the camera blocking issue. I have the non MagSafe SolidSuit version, but without the magnets in place, I can't tell exactly where the MagSafe GRIPMAX would attach and thus see whether it would be blocking the camera. And the only option which works for the iPhone 14 series SolidSuit cases is the MagSafe GRIPMAX. The adhesive GRIPMINI and GRIPMAX won't stick properly to the new material they are making their 14 series SolidSuit cases out of...

    I saw another guy say the reason for the lack of the two rims around the camera is because it was causing conflict with MagSafe accessories not fitting correctly. I reckon it’ll be fine (I hope so anyway considering I bought one) they’ve done me well for the past 4+ years.

    Yes, that's absolutely the case for the 14 Pro cases...many 13 Pro cases had compatibility problems with MagSafe accessories and to keep that from being a problem with the 14 Pro, a number of companies decided to remove the bottom side of the rear camera rim on their 14 Pro cases. Mous went one better with its 2 sided rim solution on the Clarity 2.0, and they extended it to their 14 Pro Max cases as well, which is interesting. I'm not any kind of an impact expert, but I think the folks at Mous are, and I'm sure they have tested this design thoroughly to make sure it is sufficiently protective. It's certainly attractive!!

    I’ve noticed from your reviews, the mous cases with speckled fabric (iPhone 12, 13 and seemingly 14) are very bent at the center. Is that something that has been an issue, or would be a concern regarding phone bending?

  • @TheTechReviewer

    @TheTechReviewer

    Жыл бұрын

    Hi Phoenixfaction! Sorry for the delay in answering you...I had Covid, and then got caught up in the holidays. So, I don't think any plastic case is going to bend a stainless steel or aluminum framed phone. I really wouldn't worry about that. As far as why the speckled fabric case is the one that shows the bending, I think the cases with the more rigid back materials (the aramid fiber, wood, silver pearl) act to straighten out the case a bit. The speckled fabric, being fabric, isn't going to be able to do that. But when the case is on the phone, I think it will straighten out over time because the hard, straight material of the phone will force it to. Hope this helps! And happy 2023!

    Hi @polluxtroy2010! Thanks so much for your kind words, and happy 2023 to you as well! The Limitless 5.0 is somewhat slippery…the Aramid Fibre isn’t the slipperiest of the bunch (that would be the wood options), but it doesn’t have much grip. The grippiest option would be the speckled fabric. As for the Bounce, it will have more grip than the Limitless 5.0, but it is quite a bit bigger. Protection wise, it is hard to compare because Mous doesn’t give actual drop height ratings, but my personal opinion is that either case should be sufficiently drop protective for most people…Hope this helps!!

The Clarity 2.0 for iPhone Pro (any of them) with MagSafe was $65 about a week ago, now they are trying it on with customers at $85, standard iPhone 14 prices remain unaltered.
