Love the RYAN London leather case but.....magnets aren't the strongest....
#Paragangbanger Midnight Precise, at the moment.
Rebel Gen 7 has the Paragon’s low swipe edges and all round grip with a textured fiber back, my fav case so far
That’s one of the things I like about it; it has essentially the same magnet strength as the raw phone. I dislike overly strong magnets that pick up chargers and require two hands to pull off of a car mount.

Not when you are driving around in a city with roads with potholes the size of craters lol
The magnet strength of the raw phone is ok because the phone weighs less but when you are adding the weight of a case especially one on the heavier side like the mous, extra magnet strength is def needed.
Phone rebel would be hands down my favorite case but the flimsy top part exposing a part of my orange bezel makes it look cheap.
I’ve been using Mous cases for many years, never once had one fall off of a car mount.
I never had a mous case. I am just going by what the reviews are saying. My paragon doesnt have the strongest magnets but according to the reviews its stronger than the one on the mous and I definitely wouldnt want a weaker magnet than the one on the paragon.
It shows the orange bezel which is another no go for me. Times like these I miss the black iPhones.
Yes I know...im picky lol
In my experience, many YouTube influencers greatly overstate how strong magnets need to be. In my opinion, this has led to the magnets on many cases being far too strong. Apple has guidelines for this, which many third-party case makers now ignore (it wasn’t as much of an issue in the past).

I’m glad they stress test the magnets because everybody’s use case and their need for magnet strength varies.
Agreed. But stronger is not always better, which you wouldn’t assume given the claims of many YouTube influencers. They almost always rate stronger as better, weaker as worse, which is an oversimplification. What they should be measuring is how closely a case adheres to Apple’s guidance.
I think I might have to move around my top 5, because the Rhinoshield AirX has advanced to the top spot here. It just looks and feels so good, with the added bonus of being protective AF (allegedly). It’s not perfect, but none of the cases are really. And I haven’t even thought of other cases since I got it.
The new Grip skins arrived also and I have just shelved them for later. The leather skin looks and feels great though.
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all my case peeps out there 🎄🎅🎄
I'm really digging the Celestial Blue Sheath on the orange 17PM

This is my current combo, I love this case on my Orange Pro!
Nice, did you actually get rid of the blue phone?
My wife has the Deep Blue one I had now upgraded from her Black 15PM. She only goes black so it was the next best thing. So Deep Blue is still in the household! lol
Still rocking the ultraguard.
I wasn’t originally planning on it but whenever Caduabe has open Sheaths for the 17PM available I’ll probably buy one. Not a fan of the precise look.
Mine is en route.Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all my case peeps out there 🎄🎅🎄
