The ULTIMATE Mous Limitless 3.0 Review - Axe Tests, Drop Tests, Thermal Shock Tests, Comparisons

In short, if you need a tough case that can take a beating, look pretty, carry a few cards, mount magnetically and still be able to charge your iPhone wirelessly, then you should get the Mous Limitless 3.0.

Now if you don’t need all those extra accessories? Should you still get the Mous Limitless 3.0? Keep reading to see what I think.

Or check your local Amazon to see how much the Limitless 3.0 by using these links:

The third iteration of the Limitless has several notable upgrades. And that’s awesome to see when companies actually try. I’ve been reviewing cases for years now and have become quite jaded when a company says “new and improved”. 

But that’s not the case with Mous’s iPhone 11 lineup. It’s pretty great.

00:02:26 Design

Overall, you’ll notice that the Mous Limitless 3.0 is larger than the 2.0 version. When installing your phone in the case, you’ll also notice that Mous included a micro-fibre pack to provide extra scratch protection for the back of your iPhone.

In terms of design finishes, you might notice that the 3.0 doesn’t offer the plain white coloured case, or the shell covering finish. But there are five finishes with some interesting textures and materials to choose from (Aramid fibre, black leather, white leather, walnut, and my personal fav, bamboo.) 

The auto-align system in the Mous 3.0 has been updated to Auto-align+ so you can stick your phone on the mount, worry and slippage free. The case uses a ring of one-way magnets, instead of three dots, to reduce interference.

00:05:16 Functionality

The exterior of the Mous case is similar to that of its predecessor in a couple of ways. The Mous 3.0 has tapered edges along the middle of the case. These edges allow you to gesture easily on your iPhone, just like the 2.0. The updated version allows you to access everything on the iPhone, including the volume buttons.

The large magnetic mounting system is quite secure and easy to use. It doesn’t get in the way of Qi-wireless charging either.

Now the Auto-algn+ systems allows you to take your iPhone further. And that’s the big reason why the Limitless 3.0 case is one of the best cases for the iPhone 11. You have the option of a wall mount, vent mount and a suction cup mount and two wallet options.

For me, the most disappointing thing with the Limitless 3.0 is the updated flip wallet. I really liked the flip wallet on the Limitless 2.0 because it came with a flap that held the wallet together if you had a bit more stuff in it. The updated wallet still has a secret pocket but it’s on the inside of the front flap instead of the back.

00:09:13 Should you get the Mous Limitless 3.0?

So back to the question I asked at the beginning of the video, if you don’t need all these extra features, should you still get the Limitless 3.0? The answer is no. Get the Mous Contour. It’s thinner, lighter and handles better. And it’s just as tough.

00:11:14 Protection

Now, much like a triple-layered dessert, this triple-layered case offers satisfaction for its intended purpose. Where most cases are only PC and TPU, the The Mous 3.0 is made from PC, TPU and TPE. Some cases are just TPU and have crazy claims like ones from Laut who claim to have crazy drop protection. 

While the 3.0 isn’t as slim as the previous version, the bulkier back does come with its benefits. It’s like hiring a bodyguard named Gary -- you might scoff at the name but the added bulk will offer extreme impact protection for the glass on the back of the iPhone. 

And just in case your iPhone lands face first, the oversized corners offer some protection for your screen. The rigid back of the case also ensures the corners don’t come off. No surprises after that dreaded moment when your phone hits the ground. Now even with how tough this cases, how rigid it is, I’d still recommend that you get a screen protector to go with it.

I cannot put into words how underappreciated you are. The amount of work and time you spent in each of your videos just amazes me. Keep up the good work!

18 mins of Monty, you, and Mous. You’re spoiling us

[ErzaScarletDragneelTessArt]

The only time I ever broke my phone screen (prior to using any phone covers) is when i got seriously drunk. I’ve had this phone since 2016. Yep i am typing this with the broken screen. I am now confident that my pre ordered iphone 13 plus mous cover will be indestructable.

[jedwardoo]

Yes. Mous should watch and listen to you here. Consumer feedback with adding Qi charging capabilities with those suction mounts is a WIN!

[dologany]

I've got the Limitless 3.0 (bamboo) for my new S21+ and I have to say, the case is stunning ! Thanks for your review on this, Mous is definitely going to be my choice for any future phones I may have 🙂

[rosewaters]

Just wanted to let you know that I’ve watched a lot of your reviews and you’ve helped me decide on getting the Mous limitless 3 case (it’s definitely a clear winner). The discount is truly a lovely plus and your videos are very entertaining, concise and unbiased! I love watching your dog being so attentive next to you. I’m subscribed!

[LovelyLizy]

I love this case! I used to have the leather contour and I used it until the leather wore away. I got the limitless this time so I can use the car mount. I love how easy it is to stick. As my old car mount I had to remove the case to fit it in the mount and it would hit a bump and fall off

[tabbycat]

You’re literally my favorite YouTube channel, mous is my favorite case maker now because you showed them

[JustALowedose]

The amount of effort you put into every video is crazy I been watching you for a long time love the videos. Very underrated

[IMCPILOT]

It really sucks when I drop my axe onto my phone case XD

[javed]

Wow this has got to be the best review place I’ve come across on YouTube, thanx for putting in the time and effort to help people make the right choice.

[III-zyjf]

I never in a million years would have thought about the volume area.

[DudewithaMini]

Love the fact that you've decided to make videos on a category most tech reviewers overlook... A smartphone case... Keep up the awesom work... You are totally underrated for what you do

[BibleReaderKids]

Awesome video / review! I got my mous case with your discount code thank you! Shoutout from Edmonton AB 😊

[man-bagdammit]

Just ordered two Limitless 3.0 iPhone 11 cases plus some accessories. Your 20% code worked perfectly for all of it. Thanks! 🙏

[JesusMartinez-eccp]

I got the limitless 3.0 based off your last video review; i love it! I can honestly say that considering i dont have an axe, my iphone should be safe!

[ronaldlewis]

I enjoy the reviews they are well done, I was an Otterbox symmetry user, until a fall from my hoodie pocket cracked the back of my X 😞 first time ever Otterbox let me down! So I paid my 200 to fix my X but wanted something new! Mous was always interested me but the price! Yuck ! But with your coupon I felt better and went for the bamboo! Thx again!

[COddietsch]

I am going to send this video into Mous for you, this video is what sold me on buying a Mous and I will even take a picture of my receipt for proof of purchase. I have been debating on several options and I have bought Otterbox for years. I am investing in a new company called MagFast and this will work perfect with that as well. Thanks

[gilgameshthedragon]

I picked up the 2.0 case for an SE based on this review and others I saw on the channel. Used your link, thanks!
