Musubo HyperGrip Review

Hey there guys...Today we will be taking a look at the HyperGrip case from Musubo.This company is based in Hong Kong and makes unique and decent cases with pretty interesting designs paired with bright and vivid colours...I just want to say a HUGE Thank You to Musubo who was kind  enough to send me this case for review,And you guys can check them out here....:)
This case is a silicone case with a polycarbonate "clip" which makes the case a little more sturdy.This case is down-right soft yet not flimsy making it really easy to put on and take off the phone,This case fits nice and snug and does not add much bulk but the phone definitely feels protected once the case is installed.The Musubo Hypergrip has a "soft-touch" coating making it feel almost like velvet.The case is really a vivid red,but its not showing accurately in the photos,I was really impressed with the colour of the case when i got it.Now the Musubo Hypergrip is designed to look like a Tennis racket handle....yes,you read that right....I have to say,Musubo Nailed it in the design of this case,As the nae states the Musubo Hypergrip is really hyperly grippy(I just made my own  word up,haha)with this case on it would be almost impossible for the phone to slip out of your hand,if it does your fingers must be made of butter......Literally,But I gotta say that this case isn't the easiest case to slide in and out of your pocket and it does not collect lint like some other silicone skins out there but a little lint on the case just just goes away with a quick wipe:).....
The Musubo Hypergrip does cover up the power button and the volume buttons but does not hinder with the tactility of the buttons...I have to say,it makes pressing the buttons even more fun:)....The cut-out for the mute switch is and big enough making it easy to flick on and off....
Here is what the bottom of the case will look like....The bottom has individual cut-outs which are nicely shaped to the phone,and is nice and roomy enough for the stock lightning connector,same goes to the 3.5mm  headphone jack connector....
The camera cut-out is nice ad precise and absolutely no flashback is caused while taking pictures with the flash firing...

This case has a pretty decent lip curling up which is great for protecting the phone when its layd face down on a flat surface...
Verdict :The Musubo HyperGrip is a great case for small bumps and daily wear and tear but not sooo for huge drops....But this case is great for looks and grip and will definitely turn heads when its on your phone...I personelly like this case:)...

Musubo Mummy Review

Hi there guys,today we will be taking a look at the Mummy case from Musubo.This company is a Hong Kong based company and makes great quality cases with some pretty interesting designs with bright and vivid colours,I just want to say a HUGE Thank you to Musubo for sending me this case for review,And you guys can find them here.....:)
This case is a  TPU(Thermoplastic-Polyurethane)case Meaning it is not a hard case nor a silicone case it is somewhere in between if that makes sense.....I like this type of cases because it is easy to put on and take off the phone.The Mummy case fits nice and snug once on the phone and hardly adds any bulk at all,the case definitely looks and feels great in the hand.As its name suggests,this case has a "mummy wrap"pattern on its back and it is sort of "3d" meaning the pattern is embossed and this helps to add the grippyness of the case,The case is also glossy case so it is a finger-print magnet....but a quick wipe-down now and then is really worth the effort because the case looks awesome especially with the black on black colour scheme...
The Musubo Mummy does cover the volume and power button but does not hinder with the tactility of the buttons and all the buttons feel nice and clicky,the mute switch also has a nice cut-out and flicking the switch on and off is very easy and requires no struggle which is great....

The bottom of the case has a nice individual cut-outs which are nicely shaped to the phone and is nice and roomy enough for the stock lightning connector,same goes to the 3.5mm headphone jack...
The camera cut-out in this case is nice and precisely made and it does not cause any flashback which made the iPhone look clean and sleek especially with the black iPhone with the glossy black case makes the phone look and feel extremely sexy and streamlined....
This case does have a decent lip curling over the front of the phone,which is great for protecting the phone when layd face down on  table so the display does not scratch...
The Verdict: Overall The Musubo Mummy for the iPhone 5 is a great case it you are looking for a case which is slim and sleek with an interesting pattern which are sure to turn heads and offer a decent amount amount of protection but I don't think this case will protect from great drops but for daily wear and tear,this case is great and this case might be the one for you:)
