Can anyone chime in on how durable the back of the Paragon is? Those who’ve used it, does it pick up scratches? I’m considering trying one, but I’m concerned about that aspect.

Used the Moonstone one for around a month and it did pic up hairline light scratches but you couldnt see them unless you looked for them
 
Unfortunately in Amazon Uk we have only purple colour 😡
Oh man, sorry. That color is horrendous. I remember the first person to post about the Owl in this thread posted a photo of that and I was like - never, ever. I think I said it looked like timeshare furniture. Really too bad that you don't have access to something else since it's such an amazing case.
 
Slimy? Uh, no.
Well, OK not all cases. But I went back and tried out the Rebel Gen 6, Apple Silicone, and Pitaka Ultra Slim this week, and unless you’re interested in wiping them off every couple of hours, “slimy” is not a bad way to describe the mass of fingerprints and smudges that quickly build up.

Any cases out there that recreate the rounded sides/edges like we had with the X? I really hate the flat sides and sharp edges.

It is indeed appalling. Unfortunately, the tineeowl is not an option in Europe for the 16 pro max. The only way to get one is to choose the dusty lilac colour and that only from Amazon UK and only if you live in the UK.

And on top of that the price goes up to 30 dollars (Amazon UK) and 37 dollars (Amazon Germany- only 16 pro available) without shipping costs included .

I’ve sent them an email to ask about their future availability in the EU.

Can you not order via Amazon US ?
 
So I have given up on Caudabe doing right by their customers. Going to reach out to them to ask them to cancel my order; this is absolutely ridiculous at this point. It will be July before I even see this damn thing if I’m lucky.
 
Very close to doing the same thing. Was pondering that yesterday. They seem to be truly hapless.
Yep. I know that I more than likely will cross them off my list of brands I’m willing to buy from after this debacle. It’s literally one button. They’re talking like they just found a cure to cancer with “oh perfection takes time blah blah blah” it’s a freaking singular button my guy, calm down.
 
My Black Sheath arrived today. I am quite happy with it.
I was using my regular Sheath most of the time and did not bother the cutout but It looks much smoother with the Button. Even if I am not using the button a lot :)

Glad to hear it. I'd ask when you ordered it but there seems to be no rhyme or reason with this company! My 5.4 order may as well have been yesterday (actually that would probably ship sooner).

Let us know how it goes. I might cancel mine next week.

Edit: F it. Cancellation email sent. Bring on iPhone 17.

Wonder how long to get my money back?
