So what is the truth? 😂
How do you guys remove the Paragon? From the top or the bottom?

From the top. Get corner off then poke through the camera hole. Easy
I find it hard to remove.
When I first got my Caudabe Paragon Precise, I literally wanted to throw it in the trash because I honestly thought they had sent me the wrong size. 🤣 It was so tight that I practically had to use brute force just to get it onto the iPhone.
However, it does get easier over time once you take it on and off a few times... I always take it off starting from the top, because for some reason that seems easier than doing it from the bottom.

Yes, the Paragon is hard to remove.
Where is your pink one?

It’s satire. That’s why it’s there. It’s sort of dbrand‘s whole shtick. But honestly, there’s other good rugged cases out there. If she (and you) are struggling with this, just steer clear.
How about the Bellroy Venture as an alternative? Was my favorite before the Tank arrived.

The softness of the aluminum is proof of the necessity of a case on these 17s, unless you opt for the Air.
What colour buttons for the Tank best go with the Blue 17 Pro Max?
Also can you use the Tank as your for days and your hands not feel uncomfortable after a while?

Hi people, are there many other cases that show the colour front rim of the phone like the apple cases do? TIA 🙂
The Moft and Nudient Bold cases show it too.

I thought everyone did this. I do this with every case and never had a problem getting any of them off this way, so it always is crazy when I see people saying they have trouble taking cases off.

I never poke through the camera hole to remove a case.

I always push through the camera hole to remove cases and have done it for years never had any problems

That’s not a scratch, that’s just aluminum “patina”

I don’t think I’ve seen the tank on a dark blue phone before. There are no blue buttons, but you can get purple, pink and teal ones in the Plasma button pack. I’ve tried pink and purple and have now returned to the black buttons again. I prefer the stealth look for now. The colors are stunning though.
It’s actually not that uncomfortable to hold, despite it’s look. I was worried about that too. But I have no trouble handling the case for *checks screen time* about 6 hours every day. However, it does get overstimulating for me after a while, that’s why I still regularly swap out of the tank to take breaks in other cases.
