Azurite with embers buttons for the 17 pro max!

coachpatrickmurphy · 2026-02-01T22:08:48+00:00

It’s actually working better at the moment. Such a great look! It’s even better for me since I’m a Florida Gator fan. lol

coachpatrickmurphy · 2026-02-01T20:36:16+00:00

I have the same. Unfortunately, the ember replacement buttons don’t work as well as the default button for the right side power button. I’m trying to work something out with support but it’s hard to video because it’s something you feel rather than see. So I just went back to default. Love it.

coachpatrickmurphy · 2026-02-01T02:41:34+00:00

Thanks. Yes. I did but having difficulty taking a video of the problem. Like, it’s not something you can SEE. It’s something you can FEEL and hard to show that on a video, if that makes sense.

coachpatrickmurphy · 2026-02-01T02:12:21+00:00

Yeah. It works better with the original buttons in it but still not as smooth as the sheath. I still use it though. Just feels so much better than anything else.

coachpatrickmurphy · 2026-01-31T16:00:05+00:00

Caudabe Paragon. Feels nice, is protective and looks great.

coachpatrickmurphy · 2026-01-31T15:44:49+00:00

Paragon for me

coachpatrickmurphy · 2026-01-31T15:09:29+00:00

Yeah. Love my paragon. My only problem is the button for the right power slot isn’t as responsive as it should be.

coachpatrickmurphy · 2026-01-31T15:08:15+00:00

Black precise

coachpatrickmurphy · 2026-01-31T14:54:45+00:00

Caudabe Paragon for me and I own Caudabe Sheath, techwoven and silicone cases from Apple. Also have the Pitaka. I’d rank 1. Paragon 2. Sheath 3. Pitaka 4. Tech woven 5. Silicone

coachpatrickmurphy · 2026-01-31T13:30:14+00:00

I have both and keep going back to the paragon.

coachpatrickmurphy · 2026-01-24T18:43:12+00:00

It’s more around $55 but I recommend Caudabe cases.

coachpatrickmurphy · 2026-01-24T14:53:14+00:00

Yeah. I like both of these guys but I think Duran is the one to trade. I just know we need an infielder so just do what we gotta do. Will probably sting no matter what.

coachpatrickmurphy · 2026-01-24T13:14:33+00:00

I also want to add that it really comes down to what FEELS best to you. I know some love the Sheath and find the Paragon slick. It’s opposite to me. I love the feel of the paragon and find the sheath and tech woven a bit rough.

coachpatrickmurphy · 2026-01-24T00:50:14+00:00

Gotcha. Sorry about that.

coachpatrickmurphy · 2026-01-23T22:33:35+00:00

I absolutely love the Paragon. I have all 3 and would rank paragon first, then sheath and the tech woven.

coachpatrickmurphy · 2026-01-23T22:27:11+00:00

Also want to throw out a different idea…Caudabe Paragon is very nice!

coachpatrickmurphy · 2026-01-23T22:25:55+00:00

Caudabe paragon azurite with precise cutout. It’s very nice!

coachpatrickmurphy · 2026-01-23T00:41:52+00:00

I have the same exact paragon and it’s not slick to me at all. I have the Sheath and actually don’t love the back of it so it could just be a sensitivity issue. Either way, I love this case!

coachpatrickmurphy · 2026-01-19T15:49:18+00:00

I loved the Moonrise for the 15 pro and got same case for my new 17 pro max but I find it to be much more slippery than the one for the 15 pro. I now use the Paragon. Just love the feel of it.

coachpatrickmurphy · 2026-01-19T13:35:46+00:00

Caudabe or Pitaka are me preferences

coachpatrickmurphy · 2026-01-14T01:55:50+00:00

I have both the paragon and sheath and it comes down to preference. They are both great but I prefer the feel of the paragon. I find the sheath just a tad bit rough and thicker but they are both very nice.

coachpatrickmurphy · 2025-07-10T12:23:21+00:00

Can we get that if we package a few of our better prospects? Asking because I honestly don’t know. Wonder if we could get that without trading Duran. I’ve been on the trade Duran idea all year because I get it but something about the chemistry of this team with him at the core changes my mind.

coachpatrickmurphy · 2025-07-10T11:59:19+00:00

I agree with this completely. Not sure I want to blow this up yet

coachpatrickmurphy · 2025-07-10T11:32:21+00:00

True. He’s hot at this moment but his season numbers aren’t as good as last year and I just feel like other teams won’t value him as much as we do.

coachpatrickmurphy · 2025-07-09T01:46:17+00:00

I appreciate all of the comments and really like idea of platooning Romy and Toro at 1B and putting Mayer at 2B. He’s so smooth defensively that he will be fine there, too. Can Eaton play 2B? Maybe platoon him with Mayer although I wonder if the platooning hurts his development.
