This is the Mous Limitless 5.0 for the iPhone 14, iPhone 14 Pro, Pro Max and the iPhone
14 PLUS.
The Lot!
I am Alex and I do down to earth tech videos.
If you’ve just ordered the iPhone 14 one the first things you are probably considering
is a DECENT protective case.
Quick disclaimer by the way, I ordered the iPhone 14 Plus and iPhone 14 Pro Max but at
the time of recording they are not here yet.
However, I know how important this is for you so…
I am giving you the NEXT BEST thing here which is a model that the case manufacturers THEMSELVES
use to design these cases.
But like I did in the previous years…
come next week we will see the actual phones.. in their FULL high definition glory here…
with all the cases.
If you’re like me you might want to buy the case BEFORE the iPhone arrives anyway
and Mous for me it’s one of the SAFEST bets.
Especially if you want to be protected from day one!
And their customer service is awesome too.
So any problems they will take care of you.
So I thought it would be useful to show you these cases, the best I can hear sharing lots
of details that you might care about.
This is not a sponsored video by the way!
Mous sent me the cases for review… but they have ZERO input in the content.
Mous and I go way back!
In fact this is now the third iPhone model I review Mous cases for.. which is a milestone
in itself but also shows you how much I personally trust their products.
This Mous Limitless design is one of my favourites in a phone case.
And the good news on the Limitless 5.0… Or actually great news…Is that MOUS have
LISTENED to our feedback!
Two main points.
Grip and protection on the back the phone.
Last year they released this evolution case which I will talk about later on, and it has
this extra grip on the side.
Lots of reviewers, including myself were like…
YES!!
That’s what we want!
And here we are, with more grip on the Mous case.
And the second main feature that..
I am personally excited about…
Is that they BROUGHT BACK the internal microfibre lining.
This lining was there on the iPhone 12, they removed it on the iPhone 13 because they wanted
to add MagSafe support and keep it thin.
But it’s back now, WITH MagSafe support as well.
And it’s still very thin and still very light.
And that makes me really happy.
If this doesn’t make it the PERFECT case for the iPhone 14 I don’t know what will.
For me Mous have always been able to combine style with protection in perfect balance.
One of my OG viewers Richard is always interested in how much these weight…
So I am pleased to say that they managed to keep the Limitless 5.0 at 51 grams (1.8 ounces)
on the 14 Pro Max.
That’s pretty good because the Pro Max… is thiccc boi, so anything we can shave off
is a BONUS.
And the fact we are getting MagSafe and that lining, whilst keeping it..
THIS light, is just awesome.
But let’s not forget the main thing about Mous cases.
Which is their level of protection.
Mous as I always say is synonymous with protection.
You know that moment when you drop your phone and you heart stops for a second.
When you pick it up you’re like…
Argh!
I don’t wanna look.
With Mous, no question… they saved my wallet several times.
So what goes through my head in that agonising moment is…
It’s got a Mous case on…
It will be fine.
It’s very unlikely that I will be making an insurance claim or…
Be needing to use Apple Care because I know my iPhone is safe with Mous.
I drop tested the 12 Pro Max, the 13 Pro Max several times and this case did a fantastic
job.
Got a couple of scuffs on the case itself…
but that’s what it’s there for right?
Getting a bit technical, Mous developed AiroShock.
Which you can see here as this soft green layer of padding.
This is what absorbs the impact when you drop your phone.
There’s a lot that goes into the science of Airoshock but essentially, it disperses
the energy of the impact by slowing the rate of deceleration.
Very technical I know…
But it just works.
It also has these raised corners around the case which serves two purposes right…
One is to protect your lovely display when you put the iPhone facing down and the other
is to reduce torsion.
Mous actually spent quite a bit of time talking to me about this when I was reviewing the
iPad cases last year…
Which is probably why I sound like an employee…
But not many brands do that you know?
The more I know about a product the better I can share the information with you, so I
really appreciated that.
Anyway… in simple terms, the raised corners (AND THEY REALLY ARE RAISED) basically help
reduce the amount of twisting the phone would get when it’s dropped.
Mous are infamous for doing some crazy stunts like dropping iPhones from a helicopter and
cranes.
You’ve probably seen those adverts.
And you can almost guarantee they will be doing something crazy again with the iPhone
14.
The button cutouts are different as well for this case.
It follows the same style that they had on the EVOLUTION case.
What the heck is the evolution case?
This case actually won the Red Dot design award and can be used both… with a MagSafe
accessory…
AND Intralock.
Awesome for mounting it to things like your bike, your car, your helmet or even just a
selfie stick and use your phone like an action camera.
I will leave a link to my Intralock review here for you.
The buttons now feel really nice and flexible and a really nice, very tactile feel to it
with a pleasant “clicky-ness”
Great attention to detail which I love and I can tell already that the sides won’t
impact the swiping or be in the way of the Fantasy Island.
Fantasy Island?
Dynamic Island.
And here at the bottom where the speakers are feel nice and soft and out of the way
too, no issues there.
Same with the mute button, nice and large cutout here so you can easily access it.
Mous kindly sent me the Limitless 5.0 models with different finishes…
And they also included the new Clarity model here as well as this beautiful Iridescent
case.
I made an entire video about this case because I think it looks wicked… but back then it
had no MagSafe support so again, major improvement here.
If you are team Purple like me, you might like to show it off every now and then…
And these clear cases would be the perfect case for it.
The secret with any clear case is to keep them clean, which is very easy to do.
I’ve had them for a number of years and even the older ones are still crystal clear,
very stylish too.
So your iPhone colour will look exactly as it did out the box.
And talking about colour and style…
This is the new Silver PEARL case.
It looks incredible!
I can’t wait to get my iPhone with this case on.
Very unique style and like ALL MOUS cases, very sturdy, decent protection all around
the device.
Yeah, they nailed it with this one.
The other level of protection we care about, especially given how much bigger these camera
modules got in the last couple of years… is in the camera module.
And I am really pleased to see that there’s a bit more of a lip now.
It was already good on the 13, especially the Pro range but feels slightly higher now
to give us even more peace of mind.
The fit around the phone is very tight.
There is no wiggle room here which as soon as you hold the device you know that it’s
gonna be well protected.
If you care about wrist straps or lanyards for that extra security, you have these eyelets
here for that.
ON both sides too which is great.
Before I talk about the build quality, I will be donating a few of these to my viewers.
All you gotta do is follow me on Instagram and like THIS Mous Post that I did recently

The build quality on Mous cases is excellent.
The whole culture of the brand is around having a beautifully crafted accessory AS WELL AS
offering great protection.
There really is NO COMPROMISE here,
These cases are extremely well built, very sturdy.
I mean…
there is no give here around the case and you just know that it is a great product the
minute you put it on your device.
I used to warn people about the material to choose here at the back.
But with this added grip on the side, really…
I don’t need to.
Even the Silver Pearl which is very soft at the back, feels nice and grippy because of
these sides here.
Great move by Mous.
The Aramid Fibre and the Leather have both been by far my favourite but I recently tried
the Walnut too and they are all really great.
It will just come down to the style you like.
With these new grooves it hasn’t made a difference when getting in and out of pockets
either…
It’s still very easy and again, I think they found the perfect balance here of grip
and convenience.
I also want to shoutout Mous Customer care.
As I always say with Mous, this is something that I value a lot.
And reading my comments I know I am not alone, they are EXCELLENT.
Any problems you have, Mous support are very quick to respond and extremely thoughtful.
That’s what attracted me to Mous in the first place, even before making these YouTube
videos.
YouTube thinks you’re gonna like this video I made over here and I also put together this
playlist which I think you will like.
See you soon.
