may I know what is the weight of this Paragon case?It's doing fantastic, probably my favorite 17PM case so farthe only con I have is the slippery back.
I'm just surprised how thin and form fitting they made this years Paragon case. Definitely a winner

It was me who shared AliExpress; you ordered slightly different color but same case. I think it’s same as the “Knit” someone else shared here:
Knit Orange wave with magsafe case ( No. 2193)
Note: This case is designed to be used directly on the phone’s body without any lamination or skins,as it is a proper fit case.

Apple should have made one for the Air! Hopefully they decide to release one down the road
Brilliant.. thank you for the recommendation. What's your opinion? I really like my Pitaka, but my early feeling on this one is that it's pretty darned nice, although no camera control.It was me who shared AliExpress; you ordered slightly different color but same case.

Maybe next year? I’d be (pleasantly) surprised if they added them this year.
Hot take: for money it’s definitely a looker!
I don’t particularly mind the camera control exposed; I don’t think I’ve came across an implementation of covering it that I like as well as it using it BARE. I like the buttons slightly protruding rather than being cut around power button on one side and action and volume on the other. I wish it was REAL fiber. For the money, compared to what a Pitaka costs, I can’t be mad. I also will say I don’t think it would do a better nor worse job of protecting phone in say a waist high drop. Absolutely wins “the my favorite looking case vote.”
Also, for money, this case is super hard to beat. Fits good/tight-ish on phone and I really like the “grip” about it without being too much.

I didn’t weight before putting my phone in. I surely will once I swap cases. I just pray I can even get my phone out of this case 😳 it was one TIGHT mother to get on.
Thanks! I emailed them asking if they would ship out the synthesis first, lets see what they say
That certainly looks super stylish! The pattern is so chic!It was me who shared AliExpress; you ordered slightly different color but same case. I think it’s same as the “Knit” someone else shared here:

I’m glad I read that before preordering the Paragon 😂 I’ve banned every case I have to wrestle to get my phone out (except for the Beats, it’s just too pretty 😂). Wasn’t worried about that before with my 15PM because that phone was a brick, but with the soft aluminium I’d be worried about scratches.
Let us know how the extraction went 😅
Yea, the Paragon was scary tight to get the phone into. I’m going to swap cases here in a couple of hours and pray for no scratches 😳 I’ll report back after the extraction.
Seems like the 'shipping' of my Tank was just them arranging the shipping to get tracking details before ready to send, so they can say they fulfilled the 'end of October' ship date.
I fully expect them to actually send soon but a bit crafty of them. 😏

Caudabe Paragon Precise 17PM weight = 48.2 grams.
Okay, extraction is complete and I'm happy to report, no scratches This case came off much easier than it went on.
The interior edges along the display are very stiff and sharp and that had me worried.
The key to removing these precise cases, pop off the top two corners first and just peel the whole case down from the top. If you try to remove from either side the case will get hung up on the camera lenses
The Paragon is definitely a good case, but extremely tight to get on the phone.
Back in the Sheath for the day.

I like the Sheath, just not the loose buttons.
