Totallee vs. Mujjo Case Review: Drop Protection & MagSafe Compared

When looking for a case that offers excellent style and utility, you will quickly run into Totallee and Mujjo. Totallee is the pioneer of the ultra-thin, branding-free case category. Mujjo is a premium Dutch design brand known for wrapping iPhones in premium vegetable-tanned leather.

In this hands-on review, we compare their drop protection, everyday usability, and MagSafe charging capabilities.

Totallee: The Invisible Bumper

Totallee designed its cases for people who hate cases.

• Paper-Thin Build: At just 0.35mm (0.02 inches) thick, this case adds virtually zero weight or bulk to your phone.
• Zero Branding: There are no logos, patterns, or text. It is completely clean.
• Scratch Shield: It protects the glass back and camera module from keys in your pocket, but it offers zero drop protection on hard surfaces.

Mujjo: Vegetable-Tanned Leather and Metal Buttons

Mujjo takes a premium, minimalist approach. Their cases are designed for those who appreciate the feel of real leather.

• Premium Leather Wrap: Mujjo uses high-quality vegetable-tanned leather that wraps all the way around the edges. Over weeks of use, it develops a unique patina.
• Aluminum Buttons: The side buttons are made of clicky, machined aluminum that matches the aesthetic of the case.
• Microfiber Interior: The inside of the case is lined with soft Japanese microfiber, protecting the glass back of the phone from scratches.

Real-World Drop and MagSafe Testing

I tested both cases in my daily routine: 1. The Hardwood Drop (3 Feet): I dropped my phone from pocket height onto hardwood. The Mujjo case absorbed the impact easily, protecting the phone's corners. The Totallee case protected the phone from scratches, but the thin plastic shell warped slightly on the corner from the impact. 2. MagSafe Test: The Mujjo case features built-in MagSafe magnets that lock onto magnetic car mounts with a strong hold. The Totallee case, being so thin, allows the phone’s internal magnets to connect directly through the plastic. 3. The Pocket Slip Test: The Mujjo case is slim and its smooth leather surface slides easily in and out of pockets. The Totallee case is even slimmer, adding virtually zero weight.

Step-by-Step: Keeping Your Leather Case Looking New

If you choose the Mujjo leather case, follow these steps to keep it looking clean: 1. Remove the case from your phone. Refer to Apple Support's guide on device cleaning for safety tips. 2. Wipe the leather exterior with a dry, clean microfiber cloth. 3. For stubborn dirt, use a damp cloth with a tiny amount of water (do not soak the leather). 4. Let the case dry completely away from direct sunlight or heat. 5. Apply a tiny amount of leather conditioner if the leather looks dry.

FAQ Section

Does the Totallee case protect the screen when placed face-down?

The Totallee case has a very minor lip around the screen (less than 0.5mm). If you place your phone face-down on a table, it will prevent scratches, but it won't protect the screen during a drop.

Does the Mujjo leather scratch easily?

Yes, genuine leather is prone to minor scratches from fingernails or keys. However, these scratches usually blend into the leather over time as it patinas.

Are these cases compatible with screen protectors?

Yes, both brands are compatible with standard glass screen protectors. The bumpers have enough clearance to prevent the edges from lifting the glass.
