Contemplating upgrading from my 13 pro to a 17 pro but not sure what case to get.
I have a sheath on my 13 pro (204g + 40g) and was thinking of getting a sheath for the 17 pro (206g + 45g) but the QC issues and increase in weight sucks as the 13 is already heavy.
Don't need crazy drop protection but similar coverage as the sheath minus weight would be nice.

Any recommendations?

I had a sheath on my 12PM and 14PM, but this year decided to branch out. I’ve got a Pitaka Ultraguard case currently and a Techwoven sienna case on order. Sometime before next spring I’ll pick up a Quadlock case for my cycling activities, and I’ll probably end up with a Nomad leather case too.

Yeah, my hand is definitely happy to have a smaller phone for once!

I need to get back to Best Buy and check out their case selection. I just ordered online and stopped by the pick up the TW, so I didn’t get a chance to peruse the cases. I’ll have to give that one a look the next time I’m by there.

The Best Buy near me has a nice selection of cases.

I am thinking of switching to the precise one from the open Sheath for my 17PM. Should I try to ask for a free set of buttons as a compensation?

FWIW, this worked. They accepted to include a free set of buttons (I went with Cobalt) and switched my case to precise from open. It's on it's way here (currently in transit from China).

Why did you switch from open to precise?
 
Email sent to their support.

The more I use the precise Sheath, the sharper this back edge seems gets o_O

Mine is fine on volume button side but on the other one all the way to the bottom it’s like papercut level sharp. Still haven’t heard back from support about getting a Sheath replacement and returning Paragon - I hope not all batches are like this because that’s not worth the price and feels like a knock-off of the Sheath I had on my previous phones that some Temu brand started producing.

Mine was sharp right out of the box. Call me crazy but the more I use the case the sharper it gets 😩

The black Synthesis was a complete fail with the discolored back panel. The Sheath has loose as a goose buttons and razor sharp edges. Now, the Paragon with it’s magnets installed backwards 🤡 What’s next?

The only decent case so far was the frost Synthesis. Everything else has been a complete FAIL 🤡

Where are the 17PM Paragons? I’m guessing they were all shipped from the manufacturer with backwards magnets and they had to start over from scratch 🤡

My paragon for the 17Pro has been perfect. I guess they got one right.

Lmao. You twit 😒.

Im away from tomorrow so will keep an eye on my emails.

Truly disappointed tbh but plus side is their table suggests 17 Pro cases will be shipping from Late October which is today lol.

My replacements will come before you get your Sep Pre Order lol.

Just chiming in to remind you all - all these Caudabe issues are you, the customers fault, for continuing to order and expect better.

I’d like to iterate that what you’re implying here is the completely the wrong end of the stick.

Ordering, despite knowing their horrendous timekeeping and pushing back dispatch dates, and then moaning endlessly about it can be avoided by not ordering at all or waiting until they actually have free stock.

Issues with the product such as the above once received is a completely different matter and argument.
