That’s new… I received a notification from my postal service that I have to pay 28 euro customs fee to receive my moonstone paragon 😵
Got a tip for us?

I much prefer the Enzo, the squares on the Urban make my eyes go funny for some reason. Personal choice though, plus that price is hard to argue with.
Strange about being a grease pit as I find the matte coating the aramid has to be very mark resistant. Surprised me how clean it kept when I first used it for a few days. If they brought a covered plateau version it would likely be my favourite.
Seeing others having grip issues surprises me too, no problems there for me.
Just goes to show that individual physiology makes a big difference in case preference. Size and dryness of hands, skin roughness, etc.
I imagine if we all could design and make our own cases they would all be different.

Switched it up into the TW from the Paragon. This thing makes the Paragon feel bulky as $@&$. I might have found my new daily.

Can't beat the GOAT 🐐 TW! It's been crowned for a reason.
I put off this long picking one up just because I haven’t been a fan of Apple cases since their leather. Seeing it mentioned so many times in here, I figured I’d give it a shot and I am glad I did.

TW can't be beaten.
Anyone who disagrees is in denial 😂

Idk which Apple Store you go to but, at mine, I wanna say like 70% of the employees had a TW on their phone 😂
Should I be worried that is see orange when looking at the screen while using the TW? With the PR Gen7 I don't see any.

To those that have one, is the PR Gen 7 plateau protector worth it? Have you noticed any scratches underneath it?
I am thinking of ordering one from Amazon, but would either scratch off the orange or color over it with a black sharpie, since I have the blue phone.

How are you degenerates doing? Still in my PR frosty, with no desire to change cases out. Anything good drop latetly?

I think Lucid Blue would be the best option if we’re talking about avoiding fingerprints.

No scratches. But I found dust builds up underneath the plateau. I have changed it on and off a few times.

Got the deal of the century thanks to @Hooterville. Seven dollars at Verizon for the $70 Spigen Urban Fit T for the Air. It’s a very nice case, on a different level than their sub-$20 cases, which I’m generally not a fan of. The fit and finish are more like what you’d expect from Phone Rebel, Pitaka, Caudabe, Nomad, and others in that realm. Very precise fit (no gaps or bulges), excellent buttons (super clicky, no rattles), excellent camera control (Spigen has always had a good CC button), and grippy enough without being annoying (when I first put it on, it reminded me of my Andar Aspen).
Size-wise, it’s similar to a leather case—thinner than the Caudabe and Rebel cases, but still on the beefy side compared to my usual ultra-thin Pitakas. The biggest downside for me is the weight; at 46 grams it’s too heavy for the Air. On the Pro phones it would be fine.
Would I pay $70 for it? Absolutely not. Is it going to be my daily driver? Not likely due to being too heavy. But, at $7 I certainly can’t complain.

Nice, it sure is a good-looking case, always love your pictures. Can't be beat for $7. 😉
I'm not so thrilled with the greasy Enzo and it may be heading back to Amazon for $42.00

Gave the Enzo a bath, back in the MoFT which has turned out to be my favorite $5.00 case of the week 😉
