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?
Got a tip for us?

My plateau is Stark-Naked again 😳
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.

Orange Action Button is the only good thing about that case.

Im thinking of getting Tank as well. Master @Pug72 in UK is the only person who has that case.
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?

The excessive branding is pretty nice too. 😵

I’ll be returning my Sheath for a few reasons but I see the qualities to it and I see why it’s a fan favorite but I also see why some people just don’t like it also.
I’ve been a long time fan but since taking a hiatus from it after the 14PM and trying it again this year, I realized it is truly just not for me anymore.
I really hope the Paragon works out, the fact that it’s slimmer is a huge plus to me and lighter which is always nice. Awaiting its arrival! 😀

You can't snub the Sheath, it's not allowed 🤣

Solid case. Tightest fitting case of all the ones I've tried and own. Wasn't sure how I would feel about the camera control bump, but I don't really notice it when on. I generally like how Phone Rebel cases fit and feel on all my previous phones and this one is the same, feels like it's part of the phone instead of a case on a phone. Expected it to be thicker than my other cases, but it's about as thick as the Apple Bumper for the Air.
Just unpacked my green sheath and ember paragon swapped the Bellroy out for the paragon and it’s fantastic!!! fit was spot on, very tiny button rattle and the grip isn’t sheath level but it gets the job done for me. Will be wearing it for a few days until I decide to pop the sheath on. Tho is one’s a keeper for sure.

I have not used MagSafe a single time on this case and I’ve had it for just a week and this strange perfect MagSafe circle appeared out of thin air on my case ⭕️. I can’t make this up! 😆

Get the file out; it’ll come off.

I see all the love for the sheath here, but just seeing the texture on it makes me gets goosebumps on my skin (not in a good way). Maybe it wouldn't in person, but if it feels like it looks I could never use one.

I have a gray Sheath and I use a pop socket daily at night as a stand and I don’t have the condom ring.

i need to get a better hobby. here are some pics of the mous aramid thin case. it’s very nice. seemed to fit perfectly until i looked at my photos and i guess there’s a tiny bit of space on the bottom left corner where it doesn’t hug the phone. it’s not noticeable when looking at it or rubbing my finger across it, so it’s a non issue for me. feels great. nice and light. mous claims it weighs 25g. my scale said 22g. i prefer the plastic camera protector. when placing on a table i don’t hear that metal sound and it won’t scratch. it’s basically a skin and camera protector. i like it.
next up is the pr gen 7. it’s definitely my go to when i want a protective case. relatively thin. i didn’t weigh it, but it’s obviously on the heavy side. very nice case, excellent buttons. the case feels really thin because of the camera protector. it’s not as large as even the mous thin.
i’m currently back in the mous. who knows what tomorrow will bring.
