Somebody posted this case from AliExpress. (I apologize of not crediting them) Ordered on 10/21 and it arrived today. Not bad all the way from China. Price has gone up a little, I paid $6.20 (USD) I understand the COG's must be really low, but just logistically it's hard to imagine any money being made. I'm 60 miles North of LA and someone hand delivered it.
Anyhow.. it's this one: Orange Metal Lens Frame Carbon Fiber Pattern Phone Case For iPhone 17 Pro Magnetic Wireless Charging Protect Cover *Mine is Color "E"
All in all, grippy and colorful. Snug fit and nice buttons. No rattle. No camera control, just a slot. Minimal raisivity so no slam boy certification, but still it's pretty nice and magsafe is pretty strong. zero branding. Price is up to $11.95 (USD) so it's still quite the bargain, 10/10 would buy again

Apple should have made one for the Air! Hopefully they decide to release one down the roadI want a TechWoven for my Air.
Brilliant.. thank you for the recommendation. What's your opinion? I really like my Pitaka, but my early feeling on this one is that it's pretty darned nice, although no camera control.It was me who shared AliExpress; you ordered slightly different color but same case. I think it’s same as the “Knit” someone else shared here:

Note: This case is designed to be used directly on the phone’s body without any lamination or skins,as it is a proper fit case.chawlama.in

Maybe next year? I’d be (pleasantly) surprised if they added them this year.Do you think they will eventually make them?

I didn’t weight before putting my phone in. I surely will once I swap cases. I just pray I can even get my phone out of this case 😳 it was one TIGHT mother to get on.may I know what is the weight of this Paragon case?
Thanks! I emailed them asking if they would ship out the synthesis first, lets see what they sayI 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.
That certainly looks super stylish! The pattern is so chic!It was me who shared AliExpress; you ordered slightly different color but same case. I think it’s same as the “Knit” someone else shared here:

Doesn’t work at all for me.It eventually came up and I was able to enter my info.
I’m glad I read that before preordering the Paragon 😂 I’ve banned every case I have to wrestle to get my phone out (except for the Beats, it’s just too pretty 😂). Wasn’t worried about that before with my 15PM because that phone was a brick, but with the soft aluminium I’d be worried about scratches.I didn’t weight before putting my phone in.

Depends on the material. If it’s a hard plastic like the Ghost then yea.I’m glad I read that before preordering the Paragon 😂 I’ve banned every case I have to wrestle to get my phone out (except for the Beats, it’s just too pretty 😂). Wasn’t worried about that before with my 15PM because that phone was a brick, but with the soft aluminium I’d be worried about scratches.
Let us know how the extraction went 😅
Yea, the Paragon was scary tight to get the phone into. I’m going to swap cases here in a couple of hours and pray for no scratches 😳 I’ll report back after the extraction.I’m glad I read that before preordering the Paragon 😂 I’ve banned every case I have to wrestle to get my phone out (except for the Beats, it’s just too pretty 😂).

So what is the verdict. Are you keeping it?Yea looks like it so far. Feels great in hand.
I’m definitely keeping it. Got used to it.So what is the verdict. Are you keeping it?
Thought I saw one on AliX a while ago. But can’t find it today.I want a TechWoven for my Air.
may I know what is the weight of this Paragon case?
How do you like the Sheath?Caudabe Paragon Precise 17PM weight = 48.2 grams.
Okay, extraction is complete and I'm happy to report, no scratchesThis case came off much easier than it went on.
The interior edges along the display are very stiff and sharp and that had me worried.
The key to removing these precise cases, pop off the top two corners first and just peel the whole case down from the top. If you try to remove from either side the case will get hung up on the camera lenses
The Paragon is definitely a good case, but extremely tight to get on the phone.
Back in the Sheath for the day.
What’s the weight of the Sheath out of curiosity?Caudabe Paragon Precise 17PM weight = 48.2 grams.
Sheath Precise for the 17PM = 53.3 grams.What’s the weight of the Sheath out of curiosity?
My buttons are good on my 17 Pro.Sheath Precise for the 17PM = 53.3 grams.
I like the Sheath, just not the loose buttons.
Whoa, that’s the beefiest Sheath yet.Sheath Precise for the 17PM = 53.3 grams.
