The Mous Limitless Re-Review for the iPhone XS. It’s been a long time coming. I’ve actually been using a Mous Limitless 2.0 since earlier this year and I can tell you that up until a couple of weeks ago, I considered it a decent case.
Then Mous got back in touch with me and sent me a few more cases and more important, some of their accessories and now I will say that the Limitless 2.0 is now a pretty AMAZING case. Spoiler alert, I’ve got a new favourite wallet case.

DESIGN
I am VERY impressed the updated design of the Mous Limitless 2.0. The entire case is quite rigid which should prove to be handy when it comes to iPhone protection. Mous’s proprietary material, Airo Shock, is the green material on the inside of the TPU.
Mous provides you with several different finishes to choose from which include carbon fibre, walnut back, shell, leather and bamboo. The shell case is by far my favourite finish on an iPhone case, not because I like the look of the case but because it’s actual shell.
The case looks slick but has enough texture to generally keep it on a flat surface. The Mous Limitless 2.0 has oversized corners which helps with handling and protection. It is also important to note that the mid-section of the case is thins out, sitting almost flush to the iPhone screen.
The last thing I’ll talk about are the magnets that are embedded in the back of the case. This is Mous’s Auto-align system. The magnets are laid out in a way that they do not interfere with Qi-charging from normal desktop chargers or car chargers.
–WALL MOUNT & WALLETS —
For all those times that you wish you could easily see your device, the $25 wall mount is going to be your best friend. There are two magnets on the wall mount that are covered with rubber. The wall mount attaches to whatever surface you decide to use via a 3M stickie.
Mous’s flip wallet attaches to the Limitless magnetically which is similar to my ex-favourite case, Uolo magnetic wallet. Mous’s flip wallet case operates in the same manner BUT has three noticeable features that set it apart. Watch the video for all the details but the card slot on the BACK of the case is handy.
The card wallet is a gem. The auto-align system means that you can use this accessory when you want to, unlike some of the more permanent solutions I’ve seen. If you’re wondering if it comes off during a 5 ft drop? Well, it does not.
–FUNCTIONALITY–
In general, I didn’t have any issues with the access of my iPhone. The Mous Limitless handles subtly well. I say subtly because it handles quite well BUT the grip of the case isn’t in your face like the Speck Presidio Grip. The finish on the edges of the case has enough texture that my generally dry hands can still grip the case easily. The oversized corners sit well in my palms which improves the handling of your iPhone in one hand.
When it comes to the screen protector, Mous includes a plastic triple-layered screen protector made from polycarbonate, TPU and Silicon. The screen protector is tough (make sure you watch the drop tests!) BUT plastic screen protectors generally have a sharp edge. It is quite noticeable.
–PROTECTION–
Did the iPhone X survive 4 dozen drops? Mostly…it’s still usable minus one feature. I won’t spoil it here so watch the drop tests!
Rhinoshield SolidSuit Comparison
There is only one case that comes close to the level of the Mous Limitless and that’s the Rhinoshield SolidSuit which I’m quite fond of. Check out that review if you want all the details.
Both of these products use custom materials in their cases, both are tough and both come in unique finishes. But which one is better? Here’s the lowdown: Get the SolidSuit if you need a camera case OR if you like the subtly customize your the look of your iPhone with coloured buttons. Go with the Mous Limitless for every other reason. Especially if you need a wallet case.
