I’ve gone back and forth with these. I think the sheath has more grip and a slimmer profile, but you are right, owl has more screen protection.
I got plenty of screen lip on my Sheath for 17Pro.

I use these screen protectors.

PR7 roll call 🙋🏻‍♀️
I wish I liked it better, as it’s a pretty cool case. But the metal camera ring and the unknown drop protection put me off. So it sits on my pile of unused cases, sadly.
When is your Paragon being delivered?
 
I see the Phone Rebel Gen 7 isn't very popular on here? Don't see it in many people's rotations.
I have it and was my daily driver until the db Tank came. I just like the look and feel of the Tank. I think the PR 7 is a great case, and I did not have any issues with the ring or the metal plate over the camera bump (nothing touched the phone, and it never degraded my signal at all), but the form and feel of the Tank, especially after the replacement buttons came, has me using that as my daily.

The Phone Rebel also has a loose fit at the top which is a surprise as the case used to be one of the tightest fitting cases out there.

If only the Tank didn't have that illuminati eye on the case, I would have bought it.

What's wrong with the metal camera ring?
Doesn’t make sense to me on a butter soft aluminium phone to have a metal ring surrounding the camera pleateau. Adds nothing to the protection. One serious drop on the back…

Oh yeah, I forgot about that. It collects a lot of detritus under there, too. Another reason I benched it.

Right side of my Mous case got stretched even more and now metal bezel is visible even when looking at the screen straight on 😭
We will see how their customer support going to handle this situation. Otherwise, I might go absolutely opposite way and get Pitaka Lucid Blue instead lol
