So some initial thoughts:
  • The back is definitely slick
  • Fit is solid
  • Buttons are very good
  • Will check MagSafe in a bit
  • Side grip is good, not over done but solid
It’s a fine case, but I am concerned if the back is scratch resistant

Back is scratch resistant but not scratch proof. Has some kind of coating on it.

I don’t find the back slick. It has just enough bite.

Per website:

“polycarbonate back shell with pearlescent etched outer layer”

Per back of the box:

“Subtle, pearlescent, scratch-resistant outer shell”

I’ve only had my Moonstone for about a week and a half. No trace of any scratches or scuffs.
 
Glad i passed on buying the Paragon because i sometimes find the Sheath too slippery...

Especially after washing my hands and there is almost no sweat/grease. However in normal circumstances the grip increases dramatically when the hands become a bit damp.

Anyone of you guys know if the Flolab 3D screenprotector is compatible with the Sheath?

No issues for me with the combo

It will likely get light scratches pretty easily from my experience last year. It’s not the worst for scratches, but it’s still a hard back.
