Clean AF with the silver buttons
Ordered the Paragon. Does it have the "banana" shape like the Mous's do? Love that design.
Does it run through Sunday or ends Sunday? Just cancelled an existing order to get the VIP pricing
Moonstone paragon has my attention
I used an Apple Silicone as a temporary case while I waited for the Sheath. When I switch to the Sheath, I’m not a fan of the texture at all. Both have their pros and cons but the silicone is nicer day to day. My Sheath also has seams that are somewhat irritating.
It’s still a nice case by most objective measures, but I’m over the coarse texture, seams, and weight.

I’ve replied to you on this, earlier in the thread
I'm the total opposite. Don't like the Silicone at all. Love the Sheath. Each to their own I guess?
Maybe you got a bad Sheath. My Pro Sheath seams are smooth AF.
But the Mous is lighter, so perhaps it’s the other way around.
I think they both weigh about the same. Plus the Paragon is less chunky and better form factor.

It's a shame about that swollen CC button, otherwise looks pretty decent.
I don’t have them here, but going off of online reviews the Mous is around 4-5 grams lighter. Do you have both?
Weird video. Is that an AI voice?
The case looks pretty good, but yeah, the CC button is a deal breaker. In my opinion the Mous beats it this year.
This guy is in Mexico, he has some pretty good videos. Definitely an AI translation.
I got the black matrix skin, but not sure if I'll put it on. The back is much more textured than before and I kinda like it naked.
I've only had the Grip on the phone for a little while, but it's super nice. I may not even install the skin because I like the texture of the naked back.
It's a bit thicker than the Paragon, but not enough to make me not want to use it. I do find it interesting that DBrand removed the felt on the inside that sat against the back of the phone, but I don't think that makes it any less protective. The fit is so precise, too. All the camera, flash, and sensor openings are dead centered on everything.
For the sale price, it's 100% worth it.
thats new i remember previous versions the back marks up easy without a skin
are the ridges on the camera hump cause for concern? seems to be laying on the antenna bands themselves
Yeah, I remember that back scratched really easy as well. This must be their solution, and it's a plus for people that don't necessarily want to run a skin too.
As for the ridges inside the back, I don't think there's anything to worry about with the camera plateau edges.
