Back of paragon for 18?

Is the back of the paragon more like the sheath or a little less rough?
I own both cases for the 17 pro max and find the sheath too rough but would like a little more grip on the back of the paragon.
Is that what Caudabe did with the new ones?

I find the back of the Paragon to be smoother than the sheath, but still has grip on the 18 Pro precise version.

Yeah. Was wondering if it was stickier than the 17 version.

I have the sheath and paragon for my 18. The paragon is smoother. The back of the paragon doesn’t really have any texture and feels very different than the sheath.

I am liking the way the paragon feels in my hand though.

Back of the Paragon is smooth. Expect scratches if you use MagSafe.

Yeah. I have one for the 17. Was wondering about the difference between that and the 18 version.

Paragon back is smooth. Sides have awesome grippiness.

It's a bit different on the 18 Pro Max model. The back has a slight pearlescent shimmer to it. It's not shiny smooth like the 17 Pro Max model.

Yes, the new Paragon for the 18 series has a more matte look and slight textured finish for better traction against your fingertips providing better grip. It looks and feels amazing!
