My replacement sheath came in, and indeed it does have the install instructions as others mentioned, my original sheath didn’t.

I also got the XtremeSkins full body that I’m gonna try on to see if the Sheath will work, otherwise I’ll just keep the plateau skin on. Will report back.

No offense, but it seems crazy that we now have to install a skin to protect the phone from the case. Is this because of the anodized aluminum finish or something else?

Just got the Rebel Frosted and so far pretty good. Two things I don’t like is the ring doesn’t rotate and the ring blocks the Apple logo and makes it look funky.

Pretty solid and good looking.

Thanks for this, thinking of getting the Paragon in the same color. How is the synthesis frosted, do you feel it’s slippery?

The back of the frosted synthesis is quite slick and slippery but has nice grips on the sides. So overall I don’t find it slippery with how I usually hold my phone.

I find the paragon to be similar, with a smooth back and grippy sides.

Sides will not work. Especially the side you snapping.

I have a plateau skin on mine in case I want a case that is open plateau.

Yup.

I was running device caseless for few days with skin. Works fine with Apple Silicone only.

2 questions, were the sides just pushing the edge of the Sheath outwards, or did the Sheath just not snap in at all due to thickness?

Secondly, am I ok with just the plateau and back skin, or only the plateau skin on the Sheath?

I’ll be returning my Sheath for a few reasons but I see the qualities to it and I see why it’s a fan favorite but I also see why some people just don’t like it also.

I’ve been a long time fan but since taking a hiatus from it after the 14PM and trying it again this year, I realized it is truly just not for me anymore.

I really hope the Paragon works out, the fact that it’s slimmer is a huge plus to me and lighter which is always nice. Awaiting its arrival! 😀

You can't snub the Sheath, it's not allowed 🤣

Traditionally, Pitaka is a (small) step up from both Mous and Benks in ultra-thin aramid cases.

How do you like the Rebel for the Air? Any pics?

Solid case. Tightest fitting case of all the ones I've tried and own. Wasn't sure how I would feel about the camera control bump, but I don't really notice it when on. I generally like how Phone Rebel cases fit and feel on all my previous phones and this one is the same, feels like it's part of the phone instead of a case on a phone. Expected it to be thicker than my other cases, but it's about as thick as the Apple Bumper for the Air.

Just unpacked my green sheath and ember paragon swapped the Bellroy out for the paragon and it’s fantastic!!! fit was spot on, very tiny button rattle and the grip isn’t sheath level but it gets the job done for me. Will be wearing it for a few days until I decide to pop the sheath on. Tho is one’s a keeper for sure.

I have not used MagSafe a single time on this case and I’ve had it for just a week and this strange perfect MagSafe circle appeared out of thin air on my case ⭕️. I can’t make this up! 😆

I have a gray Sheath and I use a pop socket daily at night as a stand and I don’t have the condom ring.
 
MagSafe generates heat. Different MagSafe chargers will generate different amounts of heat.

If you use MagSafe, you’re running the risk of damaging/the ring appearing on any case.

@Sal09 said he hasn’t used MagSafe a single time since running the Sheath though.
