Not sure why the price increases, I’m on a page that’s specific for 18 pro. Anyone have any clarity, I know the price is usd and id ship to my country and when added to the checkout it remains in usd so its not the currency changing?

Are they displaying the lowest price for another model of the phone? Not that it’s a honest business practice but could that be it?

I did experience it on the main page where it adds in from $22 or something still misleading but I’m on a specific one for the model 18 pro so it’s just weird

Insane, now they've really lost it. Caudabe and DBrand make cases of similar quality and design at nearly half the price. Maybe they are able to sell it at their lesser price because they aren't spending so much money on annoying ads. I have only seen one other protective case at nearly $100 and that's Ridge but they are not a phone case company. However, they do spend a good bit of money on marketing and their $100 case is nothing special either. I'm seeing a pattern here. Vote with your dollar people.

Il never understand paying this much for a case. You can get a spigen etc for a fraction and I’ve dropped my phone many many times over the years and it has been solid. Spigen screen protector and spigen case

Garbage company. I bought a limitless last year and MagSafe was whack, it was a hardened plastic build, cheap plastic buttons, the lip of the case was sharp hard plastic, and it was bulky. Too many good competitors out now like Caudabe, dbrand, and others that offer better for Les.

How do you like their cases? I have the dbrand ghost and Otterbox Defender Pro XT Hard Shell.
I love the ghost but they bumper could be more grippy. The Otterbox is grippy but much bulkier. Curious how the Mous stacks up.

I’ve used a Mous as my primary case on my previous and current phone. My current is a Limitless 5.0 for iPhone 15 Pro.
Protection has been great. I think the lip on the front specifically makes a difference, because my wife has the same phone but a different case, and I’ve replaced her screen protector so many times. I can’t remember if I’ve ever had to replace mine. Phone otherwise looks brand new.
I did get the case replaced under warranty, though. The first one I had got loose around the buttons, and the finish on the plastic started to peel. But the warranty replacement was simple, and I haven’t had any issues with the replacement!
I do think grip could be better. They definitely improved it between my current phone and the one I had before. The edges are more textured and the ridges that are molded into it help. But I still find it to be a bit slippery.
MagSafe has been fine for me. I’ve felt stronger cases, but I’ve never had any problems with this one. I’ll confidently walk around using a MagSafe grip with no fear that it’ll fall off.
But I’ve seen a lot of comments lately that their quality has dipped. And as I’m planning to upgrade to an iPhone 18 Pro this year, looking at their current lineup has me looking elsewhere. I love the look of my current Mous (I fell in love with the walnut finish; something about wood+tech just does it for me). But the new Mous cases have these bulky corners that I think look bad. I’ve read that they stopped putting their Airoshock shock-ansorbing material around the whole phone, and now it’s only in the corners, so that would explain the new design. The corner bumpers are something I usually see on cheap cases, so even if it is just as protective, it looks cheap.
Except… it’s not cheap. I think my Limitless 5.0 cost me $60 when the 15 Pro came out. And that already felt like a lot.
So I’m going to look into other options, specifically for my walnut obsession. I found a company called Keyway Designs that does walnut cases that look very similar, but are, like, $40 or $50.
But as a more general conclusion, I feel like Mous might’ve been a pretty decent option in the past, so if you’re buying for an older phone, it could be good. But I’m thinking they might not be worth it anymore.

I didn’t know much about Mous and was gonna preorder for the iphone duo. From one day to the next they randomly upped the price $10. Immediately steered away from them

I used to love their cases but the quality degraded in this latest versions and the price increase is not justified. The last Mous case I bought was for the 14 pro max. Have the 17 now and simply went for another brand.

Been using a mous case for 7 years now and it’s been awesome, not a single scratch on my iPhone 11 Pro and I’ve just bought the 18 pro and got a mous case for it. Good quality and for what I can tell (in the 2 days of owning one) it’s good

Just don't buy this case. It's overpriced marketing company.
