Where these two actually differ
- We flag Heavy metals in colorants or additives, Microplastics or polymer shedding and Contact allergens or skin sensitizers from additives on the Mous and not on the Spigen.
- We flag TPE material degradation, Microplastic shedding and PFAS in waterproofing coatings on the Spigen and not on the Mous.
- The Mous is Thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) shell where the Spigen is TPE (thermoplastic elastomer) with waterproof sealing, which is most of the difference in these two grades.
- These two are level, close enough that price and fit should decide it rather than our grade.
Both products run through the same public rubric: materials, coatings, brand disclosure, lab findings, and recalls, plus a beyond-PFAS hazard analysis. Grades are model-based estimates, not lab tests. How grades work →
