Good grip? Will this case be your daily driver?
Yes it is a design flaw when there’s a noticeable bold ring after just a couple weeks of use, yet all other MagSafe cases I tried do not exhibit any circular discoloration at all. Maybe if I constantly had those on a MagSafe charger 24/7, they would eventually exhibit signs of discoloration. But the paragon showing a distinct circle after just a couple of weeks is clear evidence of a design flaw.
Fit and finish doesn’t seem to bad. Feels heavy, solid and almost chunky. Impressed so far; should’ve threw Paragon on order. Not sure it’s end all end all; but nice.
These are the best I've tried this year. Bluebonnet also makes a great case but it seems like a few people had issues with shipping times around launch. Not sure if they've corrected course by now.
Poor colour choice and really poor reviews on their cases this year
Yeah mine had rings that wipe off since the getgo but over time, rings that are permanently etched on began to develop.
No scratches on your open plateau yet?

You said you only had yours for a few weeks and now have a permanent ring. I’ve had mine for almost 3 months and place it on the Apple MagSafe charger every night. I have yet to develop a permanent ring. You may have a defective case or using too strong of a charger.
That colour looks totally different to pics posted on their website.
Yup and I have both BS from last year and Andar this year and I feel Andar is superior and ages well and BS was a black mess after like one or two months. My Andar still has its green left in it and that bull-logo is fugly.
I love the look of the clear cases but I've always found them - every one - to be too hard and too slippery. I prefer the grippiness of silicone cases.
My preferred carry method is in my t-shirt pocket. Perhaps if I change to a pants pocket carry the slipperiness of the harder cases would work.

Grip is good enough for me. But I’m used to frosted cases. With super dry hands most cases are more or less slippery (yes, even the Sheath). Add a bit of moisture and you’re good.
I have too many cases to settle on a sole daily driver. 😅 I’m currently trying out the Sheath (back to black buttons) to see how I’m getting along with this fan favorite. When I tire of it, the Flolab will be next.
