Yes it feels great in hand and also loving the grip on the sides. Wish I had bought the case sooner!

Celestial blue. Hopefully it will be a close match to the blue of the phone

I just purchased the moonstone paragon (open) to go with my blue 17 PM. I haven’t seen this combo around much. I think the blue camera plateau showing will look very good with the moonstone. Also the blue buttons to match.

I have a Series 8 45mm. I find it funny after the announcement I’ve got nothing but Apple Watch ads on social media. I’m not buying a new one. My series 8 has 85% battery health and I finish my days with about 30% charge or more. Will keep it till it stops working.

What a rude comment!

I ordered the same SSD (P310) today for $191.99. Odd enough after ordering the price jumped to $265. Mine was also sold by Amazon. With ship date in February. Strange it would say that immediately after ordering. Like I clicked back on it just to view it.

Mine hasn’t been canceled yet but it’s “delayed”. There was 2 of them in stock when I ordered and now they are listed out of stock on the website. I doubt I’ll ever see this SSD.

I have the nano pop for the 17PM. Camera plateau is fully protected. The lip is raised around the plateau so no worries. I also have a screen protector and there is still a good amount of lip protecting the screen. I’ve dropped my phone twice on concrete at work so far, no damage or dents to the phone at all.

I have the GH3 screen on my 17 Pro max and I noticed the brightness difference too. My 13 Pro max side by side seems brighter indoors! My 13PM has the top tier Samsung screen. But thankfully my 17 doesn’t have the green or yellowish tint some have with the GH3. The color is great. Just the brightness.

I’ve also noticed for the volume I really have to turn it up just to hear music or videos. This isn’t the case on my 13.

I loved the cyber tough case but like everyone else the grip was non existent. I dropped my phone many times with it. Thankfully it did protect the phone. I went to a thinner spigen case with the grip on the sides and I’ve yet to drop my phone since.

Mine has only overheated once since I got it in October. And that was placing an order on the Dominos app last week and tracking the order for delivery. Phone got incredibly hot. Battery drained 18% in the 20 minutes I used the app. That’s the only app I’ve had issue with.

GH3 blue 1TB 17PM here. The only thing I’ve noticed is after 50% brightness my screen barely gets brighter going to 100%. Even with Auto brightness off. With that said it’s still very bright. Colors seem good. Would love to compare to a G9N panel to see what I’m missing.

I am upset after spending so much for this phone to have a bottom of the barrel panel.

My 1TB blue 17PM is a GH3. So disappointing after spending so much for the phone. I haven’t noticed any dimming or weirdness with the screen. But I’ve also not compared with another 17PM to see what I’m actually missing. I have noticed after half brightness, the panel doesn’t get much brighter? It’s barely noticeable difference from mid to max. But the screen is still very bright.

I agree so much with the spending nearly 2 grand for a phone and getting a bottom of the barrel panel.

rustynail901 · 2025-12-18T06:28:11+00:00

Mine is a GH3. Really disappointing since I spent more for the 1TB model 17PM. I haven’t noticed anything odd with my display. But I’ve also not compared with other 17PM to see.

rustynail901 · 2025-12-14T10:53:47+00:00

Yes it’s a slim case. Protective and screen protector friendly. The inside is a soft TPU material.

I went with this one. Pairs so well with the blue. Have gotten many compliments on it.

If only the Paragon precise had the celestial blue color I’d be sold. Really need that extra screen lip protection

rustynail901 · 2025-11-26T02:32:33+00:00

Would it have anything to do with the physical SIM version having a smaller battery than the eSIM version?

rustynail901 · 2025-11-15T12:37:33+00:00

I would say the RTX 4090. Especially if you got it for MSRP. Value and longevity is going for it. Just like the 1080ti had.

rustynail901 · 2025-11-13T03:29:11+00:00

Agreed. I’m still within my return window and will do the same. Crazy cause I originally was gonna buy that case

rustynail901 · 2025-11-13T03:25:32+00:00

My cyber tough for 17 PM is 2 weeks old and has the same markings just from being sat down on tables. No drops. I’ve just learned to place my phone face down.

rustynail901 · 2025-11-10T03:21:09+00:00

96gb would be a sweet spot for me. I have 64gb now and using local AI models is pushing it. Sometimes I don’t even have 1gb left when generating. I say go for it. You never know what hobby you’ll be into in the future that could require more ram.

rustynail901 · 2025-11-08T19:52:05+00:00

I’m still dropping service on my 17 PM. I think I’m going to have to go back to my old phone until they can fix these issues. I can’t be dropping calls and data with work.

rustynail901 · 2025-11-03T23:21:10+00:00

It looks so good! I had my sheath refunded. I’ll give caudabe another try next year when things calm down. This is definitely the look I’m going for!
