Yup. Cant fault her for pushing my order out their Chinese warehouse.
Paragon is the one.
Sheath buttons defo rattle a lot.
Im all sorted for my trip.
Yea I like Paragon better than Sheath.
Some say the rattle is negligible, some say it’s a lot. I would think that floating / removable buttons can’t be helped.
Literally just about every case with floating buttons rattle when you shake it like a mad man looking for rattle. Now I know on the Sheath there is a fix because some do rattle more than others but normally, buttons that rattle a little is a non issue.
It’s a good job there are lots of different case styles to choose from because to my eyes that is FUGLy! 😂
Paragon buttons have some give which is understandable with them being floating buttons but Sheath buttons are bad.
My power button almost go flat when pushed.
I have floating buttons on my Enzo and Supcase Beetle Grip, neither rattle in the slightest.
Nah TW is a classy case. But I'll be using Paragon more for that added protection.
Fugly is still better than a Silver iPhone wearing a White Nappy.

I’ve had about 50/50 rattling vs non-rattling floating buttons. I think we can expect companies to produce cases with buttons that don’t rattle, it’s not asking a lot.
Personally, my dislike of loose buttons isn’t so much the sound, but the feel.
I have the TW Apple case (not metal), but I posted a few weeks back that i found phone signal/mobile reception to be impacted by the case, as when it was removed, websites loaded quickly for example. I will say that I have a dual SIM as my office has little to no signal, but my 15PM did not display these kind of issues when I had it.
It doesn't appear to be having much of an impact now-the phone was only 2 days old when I took it into work-maybe it was still doing background 'stuff' which impacted it? I don't know.#
Useful reply, right 😂
I honestly don't feel a difference when its naked or when the case is on.
I personally don’t know the ins and outs of making buttons not move around, it’s usually more than what the customer knows. But it’s been very very few times when I’ve touched button or seen them move around where it bothered me personally.
To each his own. For me, overly loose buttons immediately make a case feel cheap, like loose clutch/brake levers on a motorcycle, or a loose stick shift linkage on an old car. It’s a sloppy feeling…
If it’s too loose I for sure agree but I can’t remember a case where I’ve felt they were too loose. I’ve felt that before but nothing as of recent hasn’t really made me feel that. For those that have the Sheath with the button issue, I don’t have one so I haven’t felt it.
I’ve had both. I loved the Enzo but I was worried about the metal ring on the plateau also.
I ended up returning it. I kept the Mous Leather case. Didn’t like the aramid Mous. Just felt weird and not much grip. The Enzo aramid felt a lot better to me.
The Enzo is super nice though. Was probably the best case build quality wise I’ve ever held. Also still had decent lip protection even with a screen protector. I was surprised about that.
I have been using the ESR Cloud case with a metal stand around the plateau since the day it arrived. I have had no signal issues what so ever with it. The metal is not on the inside and does not touch the phone at all. It has been a solid case and with the PR Gen7 and dbrand Tank preordered, something is going to have to be better than this case for me to swap out.
