The Sheath and Paragon are so great, the first thing I’m doing next launch is get myself an Apple Silicone to hold me over until the dust settles with Caudabe and they have stock.
Got a tip for us?

Doesn’t bother me a little bit. Need to zoom in 10x to notice lol.Just curious if someone has a perfect one
I just picked up one due to your review and I love it.
I'm going to try to send my Paragon back, it has some hair line scratches.
That combo is 🔥. Looks so damn good.Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all my case peeps out there 🎄🎅🎄
I'm really digging the Celestial Blue Sheath on the orange 17PM
Sheath is the real 🐐

Walnut and Aramid for the Air. The back is squared off as always, but they’ve rounded the very edge compared to last year’s, which makes it more comfortable. You can see pretty clearly in the photo that the edge is rounded more than it was on the IP16.
I can’t speak to the version for the 17 Pro/Pro Max.

Unpopular opinion but for me it’s the bullstrap contemporary open plateau. Just love everything about it. Deep saturated black leather, surprisingly slim, form factor is fantastic, best buttons over ever experienced on a case and the fit is perfect. I wouldn’t change a thing. 🍎 SILI honorable mention because 🐐
This is the move! The 🍎 SILI is a perfect “hold me over” until everyone’s perfect case comes out. For some it will remain the SILI.
My Moonstone open doesn’t have any…🤔 Or I haven’t looked or noticed 😂
I am team Midnight precise now 🙌
Yea I have the midnight precise myself. I don’t look or notice but if I looked close or with a magnifying glass I might find some hairline scratches.
Yes. Exactly the same as previous years. Especially when worn in
No, not at all. Completely different this year, especially when worn in.
These reviewers need to add a sticky case to jeans test with how many newtons it takes to take the case out of the pocket lol
That 🍊 silicone is calling me.
If I were to use cases on a daily basis, it would be the Paragon precise hands down. Right now I’m going caseless with a glass protector and sticker on the back.
Paragon precise, hands down. But I'll admit, the Phone Rebel has become a very close second. I just wish PR would make a full camera cover that isn't metal and doesn't have the "Gen 7" crap on it.
Is anyone rocking nomad sport case in lunar gray? Very few videos and mentions on the internet. I want to know if it's worth purchasing? How's the feel and general impressions of this case? I really like the look of it with silver. Feels like a perfect stormtrooper phone+case.
These are the top two out of all the ones I tried. The pitaka ultraguard is a close 3rd. Sheath falling down my rankings cause I’m not feeling the rocky texture.
I have it, wasn't on my phone for too long. Grip is OK, buttons are great and Magsafe is OK also and it does looks good but the no lip protections wasn't for me.
Thanks! I use a screen protector so hopefully that wouldn't be that big of an issue. Does the concave sides makes it feel slimmer than it actually is? or is it the same as any other case.
I would say slimmer, the case feels good in hand. One more thing that was an issue to me was the CC button- too many accidental presses
