I ordered buttons for the paragon and they sent me 2.4. They fit fine though.
Thanks for replying. I couldn't bring myself to buy one in the end just in case so ended up returning my Spigen Ultra Hybrid T case and bought the Mous Limitless Case in Stone colourway.
Returning mine too, it feels horrible in the hand compared to the Ultra Hybrid Zero One..you'd think they'd be the same wouldn't you.
I don't think the problem is with the phone, given that the silicone cases fit perfectly, as do all other brands...
You may have the worst luck I’ve seen. I’ve gotten 3 TW’s and all have been perfect
I believe you can switch off the fingerprint magnet and just use MagSafe, but it's been a while since I owned a Pitaka.

Probably almost 2 weeks into my Paragon on my 17 PM and the only, ever so slight, complaint I have is the edges can be a bit gritty/sharp feeling at times when my hands/skin gets really dry. Again, love this case though.
No I mean it attracts a lot of fingerprints. My caudabe cases have more staying power out of all my cases. I love the phone rebel but the orange unibrow is really irritating me. It ruins what otherwise would be a perfect case.
I'm thinking of getting a clear Apple case for my silver 17 Pro. I already have this case on my non-pro iPhone 15. It's fantastic and it hasn't yellowed at all in over a year. However, at home, I'm always caseless. The problem with the clear case is that it's very hard to take off and you feel like it's rubbing very hard against the phone when you take it off. I'm wondering if this would eventually scratch an iPhone 17 considering how soft the aluminium is.
I feel the same. It does not bother me that much. I really love the Paragon case and I did not switch to anything else since I got it 1.5weeks ago. But I still hope my black open cutout Sheath ships soon. I might like the Sheath even better as I always really liked the texture. But I could absolutely live with the Paragon until the next iPhone release without any issues.
I really wanted the Paragon to be my daily over the Sheath. Some say the back is slippery and some say it’s not. Also lots say the sides help compensate for the slippery back.
To me the back is slippery and the sides help compensate. However the Sheath has all around grip which I much much prefer. If the Paragon back had the same texture grip as the sides and camera plateau it would be no contest.
For grip I give it to the Sheath over the Paragon which is a criteria for me. First is form factor then grip.

I agree. Usually a sheath guy myself, but Paragon wins hands down for me this year. Pretty much checks all the boxes (for me at least) better than the other Caudabe offerings.
Switched to team Silver! Paragon is still the daily until next upgrade, I’m set!
Stealthy and sophisticated. Best color way and precise for silver iPhone.
Damn you all!!! The FOMO got me....
Paragon is too slippery but sheath is too rough. I wish there was an in between. That exfoliator feel of the sheath im not too crazy about it.
The Mous Limitless is in-between, but of course there may be other reasons you might not like it.
I completely agree with you. The back is a bit slippery but I don`t really mind it as I use a Popsocket Magsafe Grip almost always with the Pro Max Phones as this is easier to handle for me at least when I am at home. If I go out I use my Distil Jr Leather Magsafe Wallet which mages it grippy again.
But all in all I like the textured back of the Sheath. I always liked that. So let`s see when I finally will get mine. Caudabe told me that it will be shipped on December 24 which is tomorrow. I also got a 25% Discount applied and got an extra code for my next order. I guess I will receive it in the first or second week of January if they hold their word and ship it on the 24th
What’s everybody’s best?
Mine is the Sheath precise in midnight.
