Got my Sheath. Don’t know and not interested in the Paragon.

Feels solid in the hands. Definitely same form factor with curved edges like the Apple Silicone but thicker and heavier of course.

Doesn’t feel boxy even a little bit. If I can run my fingers around the case smoothly it’s not boxy. Boxy wouldn’t let me do that because the edges would be more sharp like a box.

No rattling and cutouts look perfect.

So far I’ll classify the Sheath for me as being the non Apple Silicone case just what I wanted.

Nice. I’m so close to pulling the trigger on stone gray for my orange pro max. I think it’ll pick up some nice patina being a lighter color.

Andar is really great... super fast shipping as well. Stone gray will look amazing with orange

They have a nice sale happening now.. maybe better Black Friday? Who knows but $52.50 is pretty good at the moment

Was the same with the 15 Pro too. However the Sheath is significantly heavier.

Yup, the minimalist Sheath has become anything but over the years. I remember when it was super simple and thin, as light or lighter than the Apple cases. A Caudabe rep said their customers tell them they prefer these beefier designs.

Yea when you put the AS and Sheath side by side you wouldn’t think Sheath was significantly heavier. Maybe it’s the proprietary Shock lite material?

Yeah I tried out the sheath last year and returned it quickly. It was much heavier than my Apple cases.

Boggles my mind how a minimalist case weighs 44g for a 17 Pro. Apple silicone weighs 30.
