How does that work when it comes to shipping and shipping charges ?
For instance here in the US for the Pro it’s 2 day Prime shipping , $49.99.
It was free shipping with Prime from Amazon US, for 53,17€ ($61,58). So no worries about any additional costs. My PR Air took 6 days to arrive the same way.
Ordering from PR directly would cost me an arm and a leg. Even with the Black Friday promo I would have paid 52€ with USPS International 7-21 Business days shipping (71€ with UPS 3-4 day shipping) and that does not even include import duties and taxes.
Here’s my initial impression:

Hasn’t changed since then. Still find the buttons a bit hard to press in comparison. And it’s pretty slippery on the back. So not something I’d recommend for you.
I had the Moonstone Paragon last year for my 15 pro. It did end up with a MagSafe stain. I use a white Belkin 3 in 1 MagSafe charging stand and various other cases, including leather which may transfer dye. I think that’s the main reason mine got stained.
Well the back of the Paragon is on the slippery side but not like a bar of soap slippery, hard to explain. The Paragon has exceptional grip on the sides.
Mous claims that by removing the TPE (AiroShock) along the sides they were able to reduce the thickness of the sides by ~25% without significantly affecting protection. You can see it in your last photo, where the side on the 15 model is sort of rounded, whereas the side on the 17 model is more flat. Here’s a note from the Mous rep:

Oh yeah, you're absolutely right! I didn't know this.
Though the round-ish sides make the 15PM version a bit nicer to hold, imho.
I bought this Ringke case a few weeks ago. It looks similar to the Paragon. What I really don't like about the Ringke case, though, is that it's a dust magnet. Both on the outside and on the inside around the camera.

If the
If the Ringke is silicone that could be the problem. The Paragon isn’t silicone and isn’t a dust magnet but since my Paragon is black attracts dust but not that bad.I bought this Ringke case a few weeks ago. It looks similar to the Paragon.

I like a case that aligns with the form of the iPhone especially the sides. The 17 Pro doesn’t exactly have round sides but rounded edges. If a case is boxy and too thick doesn’t feel good in the hand to me. The best “feeling “ case for me in the hand is hands down the Apple Silicone for dings and dangs protection followed by the Paragon for drop protection.

Perfectly stated. I’ve had the same experience as you with benks and latercase as well. As soon as I received the Pitaka and noticed it was a perfect fit I haven’t bothered with another case, the aramid lottery is wild 😜 but so rewarding when it’s right.
I took off the ring while lying flat, then just picked it up and slid the lens protector piece under, and they screwed right in.
Finally received a perfect Paragon.
They still shipping Sheath with 2.3 rattling buttons. Got uneven sharp seams on Grey Sheath as well.

I tried the same and the screws just won't grab the Lens Protector for some reason. Tried both sets. I can get the ring back on fine, so I know the screws work. The screws also go into the Lens protector without the plastic piece. Just can't figure out the issue.
My Caudabe frost Synthesis already has scratches on the inside from removing and installing the phone a couple times 
Same deal as past Phone Rebel frosty cases.

You’re going to like the Paragon. Second best form factor behind the Apple Silicone IMO but more protective. Be aware a tight AF fit.
