That would be neat; no worry either way. Thank you for passing a long. 🙂

Sorry for the delay. These may not show it off as good as in person, but [mention]TechnicallyTee [/mention] backs me up on the changes.

I tried to position the cases so the light over the bathroom sink is glancing off the backs of the cases.

What do you think, open sheath or paragon? I have the precise version of both and sent back the open paragon. For some reason it seemed underwhelming. Open sheath in gray is the only other one I would try.




It’s a good case. Going from the sheath though it is significantly smoother, like 1500 grit sandpaper vs 100

what about weight wise? I like the TO but want to try the Sheath.

I was using a Peel MagSafe case on my Air since launch. On a whim, I bought the Apple bumper at Amazon's $17 price. At first I absolutely hated it and thought about returning it. After using it for a couple days, I think it's still a little slippery to hold, but I think I’m liking it a bit better. I had to remove the screen protector to start enjoying it, wasn’t really balanced before that.

The buttons feel nice and I like actually being able to see the phone a little more now.

They’re identical. Not having that extra material from the precise version makes it look slimmer. One thing for sure though it’s lighter.

I've been using the open for 2 days now and it just feels real thin to me.

So, what case do you actually use the most? Do you really like the Paragon?

I’ve gone through phases of cases lol

I’ll just call out the contenders, there were some I bought, tried for a few days and didn’t like and just returned so won’t even bother calling those out.

I started with the Deep Blue iPhone and the Pitaka/Benks thinny thins when I first got the 17PM as that’s what I was used to with the 16PM. Tried a few of them but returned them all and ended up with the Pitaka Milky Way Galaxy one for about a month and a half.

Then moved on to the Blue TechWoven for about a month and a half as well.

Paragon Precise Midnight then came in the picture for a month, while rocking that case I switched to the Silver phone and my wife got my Deep Blue. I then got the open version in Midnight also and used that for a month as well. So 2 months in the Paragons.

Then came the Jet Black Moft which I rocked for 2 months.

Then came back full circle to the TechWoven in black which I have used for the last month.

Just a few days ago I got the Phone Rebel Frosted and I really like it, I foresee it being on my phone for a while.

All of the ones I called out and rocked are cases I like, each for their own reasons.

All the cases I don’t use anymore I end up selling since I upgrade every year and don’t care to hold on to them, once I move on I let it go lol. Only have 4 months left until the 18!

I wish the Frosted didn't have the kickstand. I would have bought the case otherwise.

Yea I hear you! The case is so good though, also yesterday I started watching a YouTube video while eating and used the kickstand which was really useful. It’ll definitely be useful for me when it’s needed and I don’t mind the way it looks when it’s closed either.

I got the Synthesis Frosted as well but leaning more toward the Phone Rebel.

Does it come with the Orange button for the action button? I have seen many reviews on YouTube where they show the case with an orange action button or do you have to buy it separately?
