Not yet, they are gonna send it along when i place my next order, i just haven’t placed any other orders yet lol i think its hideous so in no rush to get it
Okay, I caved and ordered a dbrand grip on Tuesday because 25% off was just too good to pass off and I’d been eyeing the case for a while now because of the option to add a skin to it and I’ve been wanting a white case since I first got the phone…. Anyway, when ordering, they claimed the case would arrive this week and I was like “Suuuuure, Jan”. But then I got a shipping notification and a tracking number this morning telling me it’s ready to ship from Canada. Last I checked this afternoon it was still “ready to ship”, but looking at the tracking right now, just hours later, I’m seeing this:
Wtf did they ship this with? A Concorde?
If this case actually arrives this week I’ll be thoroughly impressed 😂

It took just under two months but my Midnight Silicone case has accumulated a semi-permanent level of grease from daily use which unfortunately isn’t so nice, so decided to invest in the other case I always wanted to try - the Blue TechWoven.
My thoughts are it’s honestly deserves all the praise it is getting. Apple clearly listened to the criticism of how the FineWoven was poorly built. This thing feels sturdy, and the texture of the back also feels unique in the hand as well. FineWoven’s texture was just nasty, since day 1 of using that case two years ago I always thought this feels weird and unusual. Don’t have the same thoughts for TechWoven, it’s pleasant to hold in the hand.
Am happy to switch to using TechWoven as my daily driver and the (greasy) Silicone Case, I will keep for workouts.
I’d give TechWoven Blue a 9/10, the only point missing for the opinion that I unfortunately think the Blue on the TechWoven isn’t as good as the navy blue shade on the Midnight Silicone Case. One can hope they make a navy blue TechWoven and release it in Spring?
EDIT - As another tip I also found that the 17 Pro exclusive wallpaper from Apple comes in a shade that very nicely matches this case

It’s not slippery to me. The grip on the sides counteract the slippery back. I don’t feel like I could drop the phone. It’s honestly the best case I’ve felt in my hand this year thus far. I’m stopping my search with this case.
My violet buttons for my paragon ember were delivered today. I’m going to change them out when I get home.
I posted these earlier in this thread, so forgive me if you've already seen them. This is on my 17 Pro.
Silver buttons on black Paragon
Silver buttons on the Synthesis Frosted
Celestial Blue buttons on the gray Sheath
Can’t wait to see what your impressions are since you like the form factor and specs of the Apple Silicone.

My silver buttons are very loose. How about yours?
Oof that does not sound nice. My almost 2 month old silicone is still in excellent condition. All of the smudges and stuff have wiped off so it still looks brand new. I don’t think any of my silicone cases have ever had a permanent grease/smudgy layer.
I completely agree about the techwoven- such a nice case but I feel you on the blue. Navy blue is my favorite color and the blue techwoven is just a bit too light. I’m also hoping they release a navy version in the spring 🤞🏽
Snug as can be. No rattle at all.
And here's the thing, the replacement silver buttons are the 2.3 version while the Celestial Blue ones on the Sheath are the updated 2.5 buttons. But none of the replacements or the original buttons rattle. I guess I got the updated buttons on all my cases.
So which one are you using the most?I posted these earlier in this thread, so forgive me if you've already seen them. This is on my 17 Pro.

And we were just talking about Monty the other day. Monty, such a good boy ❤️
The Paragon. I like all 3, but it probably goes Paragon, then Sheath, then Synthesis.
I love how the silver camera rings pop on the black Paragon with the silver buttons.
I've got 400+ points built up on Caudabe, so I'll trade-in 180 for a 30% off and grab a black Sheath and Moonstone Paragon Open once the Moonstone Paragon is available. And maybe a couple of more button sets.

Ordered mine last week; all but ain’t moved. You may get yours before me.
The discount this week vs last has me mad.
