Really really like this case. Fits the silver well and looks just so clean. Super tight fit, no gaps anywhere, all buttons are flow through and swappable. And super protective, according to MobileReviewsEh‘s test. Big thumbs up!

With the Sheath… I didn’t know what to expect from the texture, but it does indeed feel like a stone. Not a huge fan, but might grow on me. And the cut outs are not perfectly aligned (the flash is a bit off).
I swapped the buttons for silver (and a blush action button), but I’m not sure I like it. Might swap back to black buttons.

Just curious, do you find the flolab slippery?

Taken on my macbook pro cause i don't have any other phone on me at the moment

I LOVE the color; it looks different in every lighting. The buttons matching the sky blue are a great addition. This is my first time using a paragon case and I was worried it might be slippery but it really isn't. The texture is nice on the sides (Not as grippy as the ghost case thats next to it) and the back feels smooth. I'm a fan even if the case is a little bulky coming from only using the Arc Pulse.

White looks dope with silver phone! I got my Surtect Matte Black yesterday, it's gonna stay in rotation but I feel Synthesis frosted would be a better option for black frosted combo if I had the Pro. I was expecting the materials on the back were molded together seamlessly and more rounded on the back corners (like matte Spigen UltraHybrid with more protection) but they're not. Not a dealbreaker though. Also looks like a 'cracked' line on the bottom frosted part already if I look closely, hope nothing will actually crack if I remove my phone multiple times 😅 Overall I like the look and feel, price is okay, and now I have indicator on both sides of the phone if I use too much hand cream in the winter 😅

Just received this case and it will stay on my phone for a while. Def will get the white with some lime buttons and camera ring for summer. It’s nice finding something away from the standards that just works. It is light. Fit is great. Buttons all great. Longevity we shall see. I recommend it 100%.

My Spigen doesn’t seem that lose. The camera control on Spigen is terrible in comparison to Caudabe. I don’t use CC button. Yeah, thank you for pics… interesting none the less. If Spigen could nail texture at their price points…

I had no issues with the fit on my Spigen, and do agree about the terrible CC button.

I welcome the homage, which is pretty good, but I'm not sure it works as a case. Aside from that, I'd also question the two-part construction, and how that might behave in a drop. Plus it would be a pity if it shares the CC button with its siblings…

Personally, I'd pass and spend the $40 bucks on something that doesn't rely so much on nostalgia.

Came across this one.. interesting. Price isn't horrible

Since they refer to MagSafe as MagSage, it would be a leap of faith and someone would need to TOFTT ;)

Nice color selection.. I think 6 colors

Apple has specific "keepout" guidelines for buttons, sensors, and the like on their phones. Not hard to tell from the beauty shots that that case violates them for the flash and LIDAR sensor, which are sunk below grade without any sort of chamfers or any attempt to better blend in aesthetically. They just cut holes and called it a day.

The first rule of any case should be to not compromise the performance of the device.

New blue Paragon arrived this morning (thankfully received the correct version). I’m on the fence. I love the colour. I love the way it dips in the middle for swiping etc. The fit is great too. But I don’t feel it’s got enough grip.

My daily driver has been the Apple silicone. And I personally find that really grippy. Going to use it today and decide if it’s a keeper.
