True
I guess I have to try both and see which I prefer
I don't get a ton of fingerprints on any of my cases (dry hands?). But with the colder weather, they have popped up on my case after touching my beard (I use a beard butter that has lots of oils). Even with that, the fingerprints aren't horrible.
If I don't use that specific brand, I don't have prints that show (or not to the point I need to wipe them down)
Sorry for the late reply, yes and no. It’s slippy if you swipe your fingers across it. But it really depends on how you hold your device, it has some texture and isn’t slick
Good to see people liking the sheath and paragon cases but I just saw from observation in the pictures previously that there is no camera protection, no raised lip around the lenses, and there are gaps around the lenses and as well as the camera plateau so alot of junk and dust can settle inside the crevices... kind of questioning what kind and extent of protection caudabe offers..
😲 One of my local retail stores now selling pitaka cases in their walk-in shops. They even have UltraGuard, for €71 though...
I have a precise Sheath and Paragon and there is good camera protection with raised lips around the closed camera plateau.

Thanks for this, thinking of getting the Paragon in the same color. How is the synthesis frosted, do you feel it’s slippery?
After having my Sheath for a good while looking at the Sheath plateau normally looks good. But since you mentioned it, I have to look very very very very etc etc close to see a misalignment.
I have an OCD probably… also a graphic designer so everything must be pixel-perfect
Other than that - the case is exquisite.
The dBrand Grip has the same problem. They explained it as having to do with how the case material flexes when punching out the holes (the holes are punched after the case is formed).
Are there any Dbrand discount codes that will work on the Tank case?
So much fun to use and look at. The apple silicone is perfection and the orange 🍊 mimics the color on the back of the naked cosmic orange.
Picked up the Terra Cotta silicon on sale while I wait for my moonstone paragon.
The Apple Silicone is always a good option while waiting for releases.
Looks fantastic. Can’t beat that apple silicone.
I already have the Phone Rebel, but want a n ultra thin case. Who's making the best thin Aramid case for the Air? Benks, Mous or Pitaka?
Traditionally, Pitaka is a (small) step up from both Mous and Benks in ultra-thin aramid cases.
How do you like the Rebel for the Air? Any pics?

I've seen some videos of people saying Pitaka fit wasn't great this round. I don't have a way to take pics unfortunately.
Aramid fit is often an issue due to the stiffness of the material. The tolerances are tighter than with softer materials such as TPU and silicone. So, regardless of which brand you go with, you may end up playing the case lottery to get a perfect fit. That said, I think you’ll find that Pitaka’s fit and finish is generally superior to the other aramid brands.
