I love the Paragon. The back is only slightly slippery. The grippy sides make up for the slightly slippery back.
Got a tip for us?

I love the Paragon too.

My Orchid Paragon has shipped. I’m looking forward to trying this case. I suspect I won’t mind it being sorta slippery. I was back in the Beats Rugged for a day this week and despite people complaining about it being slippery, I thought „I could juggle three of these and not drop one, this is like one of the least slippery cases I have here“ 😂 Maybe I’ve just gotten used to slippery cases now.
Anyway, running the Mous Limitless again since the review dropped yesterday and I forgot how great this case is? Just the right amount of grippy, great buttons and a tight fight with superb drop protection. Makes me want to buy one in every color 😂

If you don’t mind being sort of slippery, then I think you’re going to really like it. I can’t do sort of slippery.

I wish Sheath had banana peel front screen lip like Paragon. 
(maybe not a favorable opinion but..)

I’m with you. It’s one of the grippiest cases I’ve ever owned. Only the lower half though. I find I hold it differently than other cases, gripping the lower half only, which solves both the “slippery” problem and the “fingerprints” problem.
I agree here too. It’s the only case that might get me out of the Beats Rugged for a bit. I should have grabbed a couple when they were discounted on Amazon—they’re now back to full retail in the US.

I feel the same about the Paragon. My favorite case by far.

Have you got any scratches on the back or your Paragon?

I have zero scratches on the Paragon anywhere. I've been using it since November as my daily driver. I do have the Azurite arriving Saturday to change things up a bit for the summer. But sticking with the precise Paragon as this I think is the perfect case.

The back of the Paragon doesn’t seem like it would scratch up easily.

I had scratches within 24 hours. Nothing crazy use and not in a pocket with keys
We need photos of it when it arrives! 🤩

Will do! ETA is May 12th to 16th, so it might be a while. I expect to be blinded when unpacking this 😅

Yeah on the Pro version I find I don’t even have to adjust my grip, I can hold it where I hold every other case (with one finger propping the phone up at the charging port and the other three reaching around the back of the phone). I’m very glad I switched my old PM to a Pro.
Yeah they are randomly discounted every now and then here, too. I don’t think I have paid full retail prices for any case I have here 😅

I've had my midnight Paragon since November and do not baby it by any means. It's been dropped a couple of times as well with no damage to the case or phone. I put it on the magsafe charger every night. Not one scratch on this case anywhere. And I'm not the only one.
