Ignore the quality of the photo (I took it with my iPad) but I finally found my perfect case. Navy blue is my favorite color and so this case color is perfect. Love the fit and feel of it as well. We’ll see how it fares down the road based on my previous experience but, for now, I am so happy with this case and it’s my new number 1.
Looking good! The Moft is a great case for sure! It’s funny we switched sides I reverted back to rocking the Black (Charcoal) TechWoven.
 
Shotgunning a few more; I really like the “frameless” cases so… we’ll see:

Price went down, caved in and ordered some Floppy Rubber 😩 Lord, help me please 🤪

The Paragon seems to lack grip though and looks slippery
The Mous, I have heard about warping issues done the line which is unacceptable for such an expensive case.
I can’t comment to the warping issue, I have a mous case still for the 15pm and it looks fine but I also did not use it for long.

My thoughts on the newest Mous version for the 17 are the same as the older version, it just didn’t feel like an $80 case. Fit on mine wasn’t perfect, the fabric back is alright but the cutout for each inlay just looks odd after a while. I could see the fabric getting soiled or frayed after time. For me there are too many other good cases to try, but could understand sticking with the Mous if you liked the branding or something about the particular design. If the back of the marine was the same material as the sides/frame without the fabric, I probably would have kept it.

That's my worry with the Marine. I feel after a while, the material will get dirty and look worn out.
 
Got the Mous black leather from Amazon and it looks like they sent me someone else's returned item 😩 the seal was torn off the back of the packaging, green sticker peeled off the CC button, and the interior white paper was all messed up. Just put in for an exchange. Plus, this one has a little bulge in the lower left corner of the leather.
Here are a few pics:

Seriously!? 😄

You are like the Air ambassador! Bored of it already? Or just boredom in general? 14 day trial or a keep?

What happened to all the soft, heavy, ugly phone talk!? lol

Please fill us in! 😊
I’m keeping the Air. In a past life I was a professional landscape photographer. Haven’t done any work in that realm for nearly 10 years, but some recent opportunities have brought me back to it this year. In my workflow, I do a lot of scouting and sketches with a small camera (or phone), then come back later with the heavy gear. I love the Air as a daily phone, but really needed a wider range of focal lengths for scouting, so the Pro Max will be used primarily as a camera for that purpose.

PS- I really like the Beats Rugged…
