Did you get additional buttons, or are you sticking with the stock color?

I like the look of the Paragon much more than the Mous.Mous VS ParagonVery similar cases. IMO the Paragon blows the Mous away. Mous is prettier to look at and that's about it. The Paragon is way slimmer, Magsafe magnets are 10 times stronger, buttons are fantastic. The only con with the Paragon so far is the slippery back, it's like a greased pig 🐖
Which one you like best?

How is it with fingerprints?One example would be the Benks ArmorPro. I had one on my 16PM—it was full coverage with good drop protection, yet slim, relatively light, and super comfortable to hold. One of the best cases last year IMO.

I'm very happy with Arc Pulse for Air this year and I'm glad that other cases are so heavy, ugly or bad fitting (Pitaka), so I can stay only with 2 cases this year.
So I decided to stop watching this thread 👋

See you next week. 😉
Not bad. Much better than the smoother black/gray aramid cases.
Tech Woven is thinner feeling in hand vs. Silicone. Grip is good on both, although in different ways. Silicone will be more protective in the event of a drop.
Decided not to run the Sheath. Although I like the form factor, rounded corners and all around same texture, it’s heavy AF weighing 44g vs Apple silicone 30g. @gagee said it felt bulky but I don’t think “feels” bulky, like I said this sucker is 44g.
I mean the Sheath is heavy for a case to begin with yet it’s suppose to be minimalist.
I’ll be sticking with the ole reliable Apple Silicone for now that checks most of my boxes as weight is an important factor. Looks like around 30g is the sweet spot for me with a case.
@Zensō recommended the Benks Armor Pro but I’m on the fence. Looks sort of boxy with sharper edges than the AS.

Have you started a return? Yeah weight was a big factor for me as well.

I’m going to run it a full day today. Want to give it a last chance. I really like the form factor, curved smooth edges, same all around texture and nice grip. My 15 Pro Sheath once I put it on didn’t take it off.
Yes I started a return.
If that beats case came with a closed bottom I’d buy in a second.
FYI: Target has all the techwoven cases for both the 17 pro and pro max in stock. They’re also $10 off
I ordered a Sheath, Paragon, and Synthesis Frosted for the 17 Pro on Wednesday (knowing the Sheath and Paragon were backed up and would come later). I was hoping Caudabe would go ahead and ship the Synthesis since it's showing as in stock and shipping, but I haven't gotten anything but the purchase confirmation email so far. I'm assuming at this point, they're just holding the Synthesis until the entire order is ready to go.
Kinda sucks, but it is what it is. I'm assuming they don't want to have to pay shipping twice on one order, which is kinda understandable.
Just a heads up, after taking this case off a couple of times, the bottom corners are already getting loose. It also stained my white Belkin charger. I really enjoyed using it, but I’ll be returning it to Nomad for these reasons.
My gray version is ~0.5mm off. Made in Sept. in SK according to sticker.
Had a black one from August that was worse, judging by a test fit before exchanging it for the gray one.
Both are “V0”
Got it to use on a trip before sitting down and finding a more permanent solution. Can actually walk into a store and buy a Pitaka or Torras, if that was what I wanted. But otherwise, nothing has stood out. Mostly clear cases and rugged styles.
You should really try the Techwoven. Honestly think you will like it.
