Got my new Paragon in and first impression I’m very impressed. Sides feel nice and soft with the right amount of grip. Back is smooth with just the right feel (not too slippery really). I am also happy that no orange shows from the front. I don’t have any rattling buttons or anything.

Was I only one who hadn’t seen this?

It's so clear that they had to produce a chart to explain the new names. 🤦‍♂️

Ask ten people on the street if they could interpret what the old model names symbolized, and how they stood relative to each other, and most could probably make a reasonable guess.

Ask them the same for Edge/Carin/Summa and the results would not be good.

If anything, they should have originally given the rugged case the "Ultra" prefix and the slimmer protective version the "Pro" moniker, not unlike what Apple does with their lines.

And outside of threads like this, who buys cases for the "experience" rather than their looks or features?

I understand it's difficult to stand out in a sea of phone case brands, and to try to distinguish themselves from others, but this ain't the way to do it.

Nice cases, but Geez Louise…
 
Today I received another Tech Woven case, and this is yet another one where the phone easily pops out of the corners! 😡 I give up and won't be buying this model anymore! I'm continuing my search for a comfortable black case for my 17 Pro.

What colour Pro did you get in the end, mate?

I chose Silver mate! The classic🙂
I've bought a few cases for mine:

Apple silicone: Neon yellow, midnight, terra cotta.

Apple clear case.

When swapping cases, I always give my phone a clean with Apple's polishing cloth. I have to say, deep blue is such a nice colour. However, I have to admit, silver is the most versatile, regarding pairing with cases.

I think next gen I'll go back to silver 😉.
