Agree completely pitaka magez 4 pro is my favourite armid fiber case. The fit and feel are incredible. My Mous limitless 5.0 in armid fiber is my favourite case for protection they are both fantastic cases.
In my opinion, the best protection you can get from a case, is when it allows you to not drop your phone in the first place. So being able to handle your phone and not have the slippery sides is ideal. They don't look very awesome, but I usually go for the Spigen Thin Fit cases because they don't get slippery. It has a lot to do with the material they are made from. A company can make a case the textured sides, but if the material is slippery, it's still not good.
What about a TOP 5 review about very protective cases? For example Supcase UB Mag XT for iPhone 15 pro max. It protects display as well as camera plus a heavy duty overall protection.
I like the way Latercase does its camera cut-out, it makes me feel like it's actually being protected. The MagSafe thing is probably the most disappointing part but honestly the "lack" of protection is kinda the point, the goal was to make it as thin as possible.
I've bought the phone rebel phone case twice and within 4 month both times it fell apart, literally the sides split open where the seams meet. If you need or want to take it off more than once you're going to wreck it. I bought the gen 3, and the gen 4 and while I really liked the case it was awful in durability. I refused to try again with gen 5. Replaced it with the Mous and it's been slightly worse magsafe connector but at least I can take it off without the sides falling apart.
I love my Pitaka. I’ve never been a fan of carbon fiber aesthetically, but functionally, it’s brilliant. My case is super thin, but also adds grip unlike anything else on the market. Great review as always.
I’ve been an Aramid case guy for a while. I just want the thinnest possible case that offers enough protection in realistic scenarios. This includes two Pitakas and two later cases since the iPhone 12 release. One thing you missed is the recent release of the MagEZ 5 case. They used a new way of embedding the magnets that gets the case down to 0.69mm thickness which made it a no brainer for me. The MagEZ4 at 1mm was too close to a regular case thickness and was why I was using Latercase on my 14 Pro. The 4 price also dropped to $59. In terms of the camera cover I prefer the latercase design, especially compared to Pitakas razor sharp aluminum. Also I’m not too mad at their “MagSafe compatible” claims as the case is thin enough that it works fine with MagSafe chargers and even car mounts in my experience. It really falls on its face with popsockets though which is why I went with Pitaka this time around. I’ve been using the magez5 for a several weeks now and it’s the best ultra thin case with MagSafe compatibility. The sunset/sunrise designs are amazing too.
@@Rakeesh_06I don't have first-hand experience with the 4. I chose the Latercase last generation as I wasn't a heavy Magsafe user. I am very happy with my MagEZ 5 and think the magnet is plenty strong for car mounts and Magsafe battery packs I've used it with. Definitely appreciate the thinness vs the 4.
The pitaka case is amazing. I don’t use a screen protector and I constantly just drop it face flat at the gym. Why? Because it just works at protecting my phone really well. So many drops later and my phone is still fine. I really think pitaka is the best one on this list and it’s really underrated as far as protection goes.
I bought myself that Benks case and sadly had to return it. It has two fatal flaws: 1. The screen lip is not tall enough to extend past the screen protector. 2. The TPU sides of the case are extremely slippery. The combination of the two issues make the case a liability. The Pitaka MagEZ Case Pro 4 is overpriced. Maybe if it was $45, but it's not worth $70. I now use a Rebel case. Not a fan of the small port cutout nor the side texture but at $45 it does a great job protecting my phone.
Do you have a video for the best iPhone 15 drop proof cases? I'm trying to find an affordable case that I can feel safe if I were to do normal drops. I here a lot of recommendations but you're are the least biast and one of the most educated on the subject
I second this comment. I just got my iPhone and refused to buy the protection cases/screen protector from the store. I also use camera lens covers as well as back screen protectors. Even tho it did me no good since yesterday, my iPhone 13 Pro Max randomly had a “yellow screen of death”. Thanks apple!👎🏻. So now I’m on to protecting yet another phone that will probably shit the bed 🤦🏻♀️
Only thing I’m not a big fan of the mag ez pro is how sharp the corners are on it. Other than that. I absolutely love it, and it’s the case I use when not using my Andar Leather case in turquoise.
Like your reviews but point of fact is that "magsafe compatible" means that it will work with magsafe devices. The Latercase does, it's thin enough that the internal magnets will work with most devices. Will the attachment be all that strong? No, but they do work. Wallet will likely fall off in your pocket - lol. They should add the magnets, the lens cutouts are much better looking than the big square opening.
Have the Benks MagClap™ Hybrid case which has a felt back and 1500 Kevlar, which wasn’t reviewed here. Also has a minimal raised edge above screen protector. I’ve been very happy with it so far.
Hey MobileReviews, here's a challenge for you, eh... I rely on my iPhone 15 Pro Max extensively for professional photography and videography, serving as my primary camera. I'm in search of a versatile case that can withstand diverse conditions. Firstly, durability is key as the case must endure accidental drops. Additionally, MagSafe compatibility is essential for convenient on-the-go charging. I frequently attach an SSD drive for video recording and may transition from mounting the phone on a rig with additional accessories to swiftly removing the case for underwater housing. Importantly, it should exude a professional aesthetic, avoiding the appearance of a fashionable office phone. PS. I filmed 3 seasons of 'Dogs With Jobs'. I see you're working with a dog. I hope he has his ACTRA rep on set while you are taping.
I got Apple Silicone Case, Spine Ultra Hybrid S (with kickstand) and Spigen Enzo Matte Black which one do you think is the best protection overall for my iPhone?
Strange that the last one is best as you said it has no grip. With max phones grip is one of the most important things I think. Don’t like slippery cases.
@@Paa375 They are not slippery? Cause here in video he says that pro case is more slippery than magez 5. And I have magez 5 and for me it’s not very grippy? Do you have 600d or 1500d case?
@@PUZO37RS I have the magez pro in black 600 and I have the magez pro in blue which is 1500 my black one 600 is more grippy in my opinion. It has a nice soft feel to it. I love it for the grip.
Has anyone had any experiences with Apex Carbon? They seem legit but I'm skeptical. I love how they offer forged options with metallic looking flake, but I can say with certainty that the mous or other cases mentioned here will have better protection.
so the best protection for my iphone 15 is my Speck presidio 2? It looks... ok... i guess those carbon fiber/aramid cases just arent that good on the protection front... they look cool tho
I have purchased the 600D Pitaka slim case, I much prefer the 1500D, the grip is much better. I have then purchased the Pitaka Pro version but the magnets are weak. It cannot securely handle, with its magnets, my iPhone 15 Pro Max when driving using my Apple MagSafe charger placed vertically 😡
is blackbrook band good? i found full grain leather products on their amazon store like iphone full grain leather case with book cover that is detachable and has alot of storage and also is magsafe, can you please tell me anything about the band or their quarity if not the product itself? since apple no longer makes leather i need look on different bands, and that seems rather cool since my ID is same size as my iphone 13 pro max back and carring it around is diffuclt plus i cant carry cash with me that way easy.
After less than a week I noticed rattling sounds made by buttons when you shake/move the case. Buttons are not OK to rattle. Even more, the grip is barely acceptable. (I’m talking about Pitaka PRO case)
did you saw the vid?, he went as far as to say that if you want drop protection you should go for other cases, cue one of them being Mous limitless 5.0
Some may say carbon fibre or really arimid fibre is tougher but these cases or not really cases for dropping. You want a case for drop protection mous or Otterbox defender. But remember the more protection a case offers usually means the case will be much bulkier that’s just how it goes. All depends on what you are looking for.
My iPhone, 14 Pro Max phone rebel case started falling apart so I was either going to upgrade to the GEN five case or the Pitaka. Someone give me some advice of which one to pick.
The video was about airmid fibre cases full airmid fibre mous is only airmid fibre on the back I think he mentioned that at the beginning of video you need to watch video and guess what mous is in there and he talks about it 🤔
You must have forget to watch the video he clearly states what kind of cases he is reviewing in this video mous is his favourite case but guess what the arimid fiber is just a back in lay that’s all he was not ranking cases with back inlays
I really was hoping they would make the Spigen Enzo Aramid Fibre case for iPhone 14, I bought their leather version on sale and I personally like the look of the aluminum buttons and accents (maybe I have bad taste). Very insightful video as always!
I’m mainly here for the co host ❤

agreed, I like the Phone Rebel Gen 5's edge. It's quite robust.
I use to like spigen thin fits but no MagSafe no good
I like the way Latercase does the camera, but Pitaka is KING.
Where’s all the Apple Vision Pro content ?!?
BTW an idea for a video - Spigen Cryo Armor - it was the case that was used on an iPhone that was found after Alaska Air flight ;)
EZ Case 5 is even better. My favourite case I’ve ever purchased.
Been rocking an ezcase 4 and can't go back to anything else. It's so thin and works great for the everyday drops and spills.
What about a TOP 5 review about very protective cases?

Best design and protection on all the top 5 i think Benks wins, minimal and the metallic color blends with the titanium color

I have been using Pitaka for years - I get a new iPhone every year, and have had a Pitaka for the last 6 years.
I’ve been waiting for months for this video
Like the new setup! Would be great to hear your thoughts on the Mujjo Shield one day - it’s a triple layer case!
the best of the video, is the dog, ever.
Pitaka MagEz Pro or Mous limited 5.0 ???
Honest review as usual
surprised you do lots of these but still omit phone rebel from your testing when they have two variants to test: rebel and flex
Yes, where's the Rebel Gen 5 in the mix??
Currently rocking the Pitaka Pro.
Does it scratch your buttons
I love Monty .. he’s so cute man ♥️
Your vids are gettin better. Keep up the great content 💯.

Gotta try the MagEZ 5! Yes, Five - newer release.
I don’t think I would bother with the magez 5 have heard the magnetic strength is shit

Re: Pitaka Case
Carbon Fiber is not the same as Aramid Fiber.
Very different materials
You still can never beat a mous case
I’d like to ask that for iphone 15 which one would you suggest? the mous 5.0 or the pitaka magez pro? In case of protection
Mous is a protective case, more than Pitaka.
I have a Aramid case and while they are great THEY ARE FINGERPRINT MAGNETS
Are you concerned about the metal buttons on the MagEz Pro? They don’t have any film or added so it’s metal buttons on metal iPhones….
After less than a week I noticed rattling sounds made by buttons when you shake/move the case. Buttons are not OK to rattle. Even more, the grip is barely acceptable.

Sounds like a you problem. Been using the case for 7 months without a problem.
@@Mindwalker030 A design problem. On top of it, designing metal buttons in direct contact with metal buttons from iPhone, not a good idea at all.
@@r_a__u____l The buttons are made out of aluminium. The iPhone is titanium. Aluminium can't scratch titanium.
