My replacement sheath came in, and indeed it does have the install instructions as others mentioned, my original sheath didn’t.

I also got the XtremeSkins full body that I’m gonna try on to see if the Sheath will work, otherwise I’ll just keep the plateau skin on. Will report back.

No offense, but it seems crazy that we now have to install a skin to protect the phone from the case. Is this because of the anodized aluminum finish or something else?
 
Just got the Rebel Frosted and so far pretty good. Two things I don’t like is the ring doesn’t rotate and the ring blocks the Apple logo and makes it look funky.

Pretty solid and good looking.

Thanks for this, thinking of getting the Paragon in the same color. How is the synthesis frosted, do you feel it’s slippery?
The back of the frosted synthesis is quite slick and slippery but has nice grips on the sides. So overall I don’t find it slippery with how I usually hold my phone.

I find the paragon to be similar, with a smooth back and grippy sides.

Sides will not work. Especially the side you snapping.

I have a plateau skin on mine in case I want a case that is open plateau.
 
Yup.

I was running device caseless for few days with skin. Works fine with Apple Silicone only.
2 questions, were the sides just pushing the edge of the Sheath outwards, or did the Sheath just not snap in at all due to thickness?

Secondly, am I ok with just the plateau and back skin, or only the plateau skin on the Sheath?
