The one knock I have found against the Paragon is the front lip grabs pocket lint and dust and it sticks to the edges of the screen. I don’t have this issue with the apple cases, which sit off the screen.

Edit: It isn’t a big deal, it can be brushed off, just an observation.

Caudabe deserves credit; they’ve developed a bit of a cult following. So yeah, be careful what you say around here. 😉

I understand the appeal of the Sheath texture, but I begin to tire of it in short order. I think the truck bed liner analogy is a good one. I’ve always said it feels like carrying around a rock in your pocket. 😂

Over here I’m in a consistent rotation of Pitaka>Beats>Mous. After making an impulse purchase of a Sheath yesterday, I realized there’s 0% chance it’s going to wedge its way into that rotation, so I requested a cancellation. Now I wait to see if they cancel the order or rush to ship it… lol.
You have a nail filer when you need one lol. I find it to be a pita to hold. Which pitaka do you have? I am looking at the ultraguard but worried that it’s gonna be too slippery and the phone rebel looks like you can see the top bezel. I want it all blacked out in the front and that’s why I didn’t go for the techwoven.

I have a few of the Ultra-Slim Pitakas (recently renamed to “Edge”). They’re super minimalist, barely more than a skin, but feel fantastic while providing essentially zero drop protection… lol. These thin, 1500D aramid models have a textured surface that provides the best grip and fingerprint resistance. The hybrid TPU/aramid models like the Ultraguard have a smoother finish that is more slippery and prone to fingerprints.

@Zensō Did you successfully cancel the Caudabe order?

I ordered that gray Sheath yesterday and it's been crickets, no shipment or anything :(
Yes, the order was cancelled this morning. It’s seems they’re getting better at cancelling orders after all the practice they had this fall. 😆

I’ve noticed that with some companies, paying for expedited shipping doesn’t necessarily get the order out the door any quicker, it just shortens the transit time once it starts moving. Not sure if Caudabe falls into that group.
 
Been using the paragon a bit now and loving it. The ember buttons looking good. This is my favorite case of the 3 I own.

Is the lip around the screen uniform, aside from the ear speaker? I have come to the realization that my case dips down a little bit on the left side. If it fell just right on that edge, i'm sure the glass would be exposed.
Just trying to understand if thats a design flaw or not.

Like you said processing time to get the order ready depends. Caudabe ships USPS ground advantage which depends location. Whenever I place anorder with Caudabe it takes 3 days NOT including how long it takes to process the order.
 
Order gray Sheath yesterday, paid for the FedEx shipping and no shipment action yet :confused:
My slow boat with a gray sheath is already on the way 🌊 🛥️
