Just slapped on the Paragon after months with the Sheath. I don’t like with a screen protector it sits ABOVE the case on the sides. Anyone else experience this?

Mine is straight flush with the screen protector on the sides. Been in the open Paragon all day and it is a slippery little beast.

The good news is, Caudabe changed the back on the Paragon to be less slippery on the S26 Ultra case. It's not anywhere near the grippiness of the Sheath, but it's got just enough texture to make it much less slippery. I think they heard the complaints and like with the replaceable buttons, they did a test run on the Galaxy S series cases before bringing it to the iPhone.

Assuming you upgrade to the iPhone 18, I think you'll find the Paragon much improved in that department.

Was there a pic of this change you saw somewhere perhaps?

Uncovered CC button may be issue; this looks super grippy though

Yep, there is more texture on the S26U, won’t see an iPhone change till the 18 unfortunately.

Tineeowl DuneX arrived.

This a cute little case. Feels different than I expected. Like a slightly smoother Sheath. Slightly slippery. Form factor wise like the AS. Fits tightly and not easy to remove. Buttons are very nice.
I just have one QC problem: a slight gap at the bottom edge of the camera cutout. But checking reviewer videos: a lot of them seem to be having that problem:

It’s still less of a gap than the Mous cases have all around the camera, so 🤷🏻‍♀️ nobody else will notice this anyway 😅

Glad you like it.
I have a Dbrand plateau protector/skin installed and I do not have a gap at the bottom like in your photo.

Black Paragon open in the house. I'm really on the "Open" case jam lately. This wallpaper will be nice with the Ultraviolet Paragon, if it ever comes to light for the iPhone. Open Paragon really is a nice case.

What do you think, open sheath or paragon? I have the precise version of both and sent back the open paragon. For some reason it seemed underwhelming. Open sheath in gray is the only other one I would try.

It’s a good case. Going from the sheath though it is significantly smoother, like 1500 grit sandpaper vs 100
