If the Sheath is working for you, that’s great. It is objectively a heavy case though. At 50 grams it’s in the ballpark with highly protective cases like the Mous Limitless (49 grams), Nomad Rugged (50 grams), and Phone Rebel (54 grams). Most of what are considered minimalist cases weigh ~35 grams or less.

Any legit company keeps some stock set aside for exchanges or unique situations like this.
That's beautiful and I'm not even a fan of that shade of blue. How does she like the case?
Yeah, weight has never been a problem for me either and I'm confused why it would be. The Sheath isn't heavy. It's a phone case. I suppose maybe it's heaviER than some other cases, but it's not objectively a heavy object. My phone is my most used device and I've had multiple generations of Sheaths. Incidentally, my one complaint about Sheaths in the "early days" was that sometimes they almost seemed too insubstantial. Almost too thin. The Sheaths of the past few years have been really solid and protective. They're not bulky or heavy, but feel like they protect better now.
Just got mine today, too. Same color. I like it. First impression is the camera control is easy enough to operate, though I still do somewhat prefer the button on my Apple clear case.
Looks so lovely. Would you/your gf mind sharing more pics? Perhaps with the phone in it ?
Delivery day. Used with a Black 16 Pro Max. The camera struggled getting an accurate color with the blue/green one. It’s more green/aqua colored in person.
Nope, cannot confirm… I‘ve been using a MagSafe car mount on a daily basis, and also MagSafe battery packs once in a while, and no indentation or any such thing whatsoever…
I can’t tell if that’s a question or a statement. If the latter can you post a photo?
I would’ve but unfortunately, she’s still waiting for her Pro to come in, she ordered late. Won’t fit mine since I have Max (with Sheath).
Haha, it's very subjective but Ember, Moonstone, Seaglass. Although I really like all 3 colors.Rank them?
Having used the Paragon for a day now I'm debating if I want to keep them all or not. The feel isn't horrible but it also isn't amazing. I prefer the feel of the Apple silicone case. The paragon has a grittier type feel for grip vs the smooth stickiness of the silicone (if that makes sense). The paragon also feels sharper around the edges and a bit heavier. I like them but I might just be happier with silicone. The camera button area is also less ideal on the paragon. I'll give it a few more days before I decide.

No worries - I appreciate you responding!
I've got the Seaglass on the way to the U.K. so once it arrives I'll take some shots in my White PM
I charge mine on a MagSafe desktop charger every night and use a MagSafe holder in my car. I also use a MagSafe wallet. There's not even a trace of the ring on the back of my Sheath.
Wow, there it is. That’s the first time I’ve seen it this year. They made the back thicker so I assumed it was resolved, but apparently not. Bummer.
Thanks for the photo.
No issue. I just prefer Apple's implementation vs Caudabe's. Just a bit harder to get to and use with the Paragon.
