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.

This is more of a public service announcement. The iPhones 17 Pro and 17 Pro Max are made out of aluminum. It is scientifically known that aluminum is softer than steel and titanium. Therefore, minimalist cases that were adequate for iPhones X to 16 Pro are no longer protective enough for the 17 Pro.

Another relevant fact is that the 17 Pro is the heaviest standard-size Pro phone since the steel 14 Pro. The 17 Pro Max is a little lighter than the steel 14 PM, but it still weighs more than half a pound. My previous aluminum-body phone was the iPhone 7 carried in a thin Spigen Liquid Air case. It was ok because the phone only weighted 4.87 ounces, or a little over half the weight of a 17 PM. It means the 17 PM would hit the ground with almost double the kinetic energy as the 7.

I’ve seen several people with dented phones in an Apple TechWoven case, which is a standard thin case. Any case of that thickness class should be avoided.

This is a short (but not exhaustive) list of stronger / thicker cases:

• Mous Limitless

• Rebel GEN7

• Beats Rugged

• Pelican

• Otterbox

• Speck

• Urban Armor Gear

• Bellroy Venture

Yes, you can get the invisible case costing $140/year a.k.a. AppleCare. Bear in mind that it doesn’t cover cosmetic defects, like simple scratches and dents.

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?

1. I need the toughest case possible because I drop my phone at all angles and I don’t trust the small raised bumps around the camera.

2. Also—what’s the best strong-but-slim option?

I am going to be getting an iPhone 17 pro, and I want a clear mag safe case that also protects the phone well. Does anyone have any recommendations for some good options? Thanks

Hello

I'm looking for a case for iPhone 17 pro Max. Price does not matter. I was looking at Torras,DBrand,ESR. It should have good magsafe magnetic. I need lens protection-should I buy it separate?

I have multiple cases for my iPhone 17 pro Max. They are the following:

• Apple Clear Case

• Spigen Ultra Hybrid T (clear)

• Spigen Tough Armour

• Mous Limitless 7.0 in Black Leather

I can return the Mous case, but I did pick it up as a used, like-new case from Amazon for £55, which is approximately £15 cheaper than the normal price on Amazon, which is actually inflated compared to the Mous website. However, I didn’t want to deal with the customer service if a situation that required it arose.

Which case do you think looks the nicest and offers the best protection? Should I return the Mous case?

Photographs of each case on my phone are attached.

This phone is very fragile to scratches and I like to use the phone for 5 years at least. So before purchasing the phone I’ll need to get the case. What do you’ll recommend? I do not like something that’s very heavy as I use my current iPhone 12 without any case.

Hey guys, I'm gonna buy the iPhone 17 Pro in Silver, and been debating on the absolute BEST case for it. That clear case from Apple looks slick in my opinion, and it has a camera control button cover. Is there any other cases you might be picking up, with a camera control button cover, that you think are good??
