At one point I tried a number of knockoff aramid cases and none were anything close to the quality of Pitaka. Have you tried any of these cases?
The Limitless Speckled Fabric. Here’s the edges:
I’ve read some reviews about the non-black limitless cases and they seem to have QC issues. The black ones are okay.
This looks like a Bullstrap but made with Horween, $45. YMW.

I had two mous cases this year. One was not good at all. Had rough sharp edges on the screen lip and bottom where I would hold it. Returned it for another and it was perfect. Almost felt like it was a different TPU material. Softer and smooth edges everywhere. First one was the Carbon Fiber. Second was leather.
Yes. Yes it is. Literally the only downside to this case.
I see
debating if I should buy the Marine Limitless. The marine has the same back material as the Speckled Fabric right? How does the case feel in the hand? Does it have a nice feel?

Quick question, are those frosted synthesis scratches visible from the outside when you have the phone installed?
boxy in shape with slightly rounded edges. I didn’t like it at first but got used to it after a couple days.
Interesting. My temporary case has a rough texture when compared to the bare iPhone which is smooth but slippery. Is the Paragon’s back similar to that? I might actually prefer that. What color did you get?
The fingerprint issue is concerning though. Would appreciate any more thoughts about this and everything else once you used it more!
I'm not sure, I'll put it back on in a couple of minutes and report back.
The Synthesis frosted marks on the inside only shows on the inside, you can’t see it from the outside. I don’t even think it’s scratches, just a wear area towards the bottom.
The praise is there because it’s a good case that tons of people enjoy and has nothing to do with YouTube or “sponsors”. I suggest you go and look at comments from people under those YouTube videos and see what people have to say about the Paragon.
Get a different perspective outside of this thread….

Im hoping my Grey Replacement Sheath is as good as your Black Sheath.
Like i said previously when Caudabe CS is good they always come through.
As I said up above I’m not a YouTuber and the Paragon rocks! I like it very slightly better than the Sheath. I’m so convinced about the Paragon that I believe that everyone who has a 17 Pro or PM needs to have one, hands down.
It's a bit slippery though
I had the Paragon with my 16 Pro Max and found it slippery
Hey man I’m not implying anything about you, I appreciate your vids.
I guess I’m just conflating the case with all the shipping delays and quality control issues. It makes me a bit skeptical. But I don’t think the Paragon has those issues?
