There are few that provide protection around lenses area
while others keep the area around lens exposed
Common sense dictate that the one with protection around the lenses area should be better, but still I would like to know your views.
My husband and I are upgrading and want to have a case ready beforehand. Would love to see photos and links for cases people are using for their iPhone 17 and iPhone 17 Pro. Thanks.
Here’s my take. I love these with the translucent back, magsafe compatibility and thick frame. It’s the balance between versatility, looks and protection. Out of all of the cases I’ve tried, it’s my favorite
I also like the “military-grade” phone cases (2nd picture). These turn your phone into adamantium, but tend to be bulky.
Transparent phone cases tend to yellow, so I don’t like them at all
What are your thoughts on this topic?
UPDATE: Created a list of case brands that have unveiled their iPhone 17 cases, please check the bottom of the post! Will try my best to update the list as more cases are released! (Only cases with Camera Control button will be in the list)
Hi everyone! The new iPhone 17 is almost here in about a week! I created this thread as I thought that we can all share and explore potential phone cases to get for our new iPhone 17 as many brands/manufacturers have released an early look at their iPhone 17 cases.
I will start first with this case I came across on social media, which is the Benks ArmorPro series. All their designs are growing on me, but I think most of us who want a clean look will opt for the basic black carbon fibre design! It has a raised camera ring that extends all the way around the camera bump to ensure raised protection.
However, I have also seen other case brands do cutouts for the individual lenses and sensors instead of a big open cutout as the camera bump is too big this time around. I feel that individual lens cutouts can help to prevent dust/scratching across the whole area of the camera bump, so I guess that’s one of my main gripes about this case. But case in point, it is Apple who made the camera bump so damn huge, and our beloved case brands are just trying their best to work with what kind of device is developed in the end.
Another brand that is going to launch soon is Caudabe, currently using on my iPhone 16 Pro Max. Loving this case so far, so I bet I’m gonna love the iPhone 17 Pro Max version too! Based on their case silhouette preview, it seems like Caudabe is opting for cutouts for the camera lens instead of the entire camera bar. All these brands are heavily recommended by tech Youtubers, and I totally get it!
What do you guys think? Do you all prefer a big open cutout for the entire camera bar, or just cutouts for the individual camera lens and sensors?
I look forward to reading your thoughts and suggestions for iPhone 17 cases! Please feel free to share!
