Some pics of Ringke cases, Fusion-X showing no cc button. There's one on their silicone.

Wonder why that went with full plastic around the sides for the two StarPeak models instead of the same style as the 16PM and other patterns (aramid fibre and pattern stretching around the sides).
The StarPeak models look to be a more protective option. You can see the sides are bulkier looking and without metal buttons also. It also looks like with those sides the aramid fiber wrap around design doesn’t seem to be feasible. This option seems to be focusing more on protection than feeling/looking premium (which is subjective of course).

The Benks ArmorAir Aurora was my case for the 16 Pro Max and I loved it so it was an easy choice to go with it again for my 17 Pro Max.

I ordered it last Tuesday from Benks and it arrived literally 7 days later today to my doorstep from China to US. I’m pretty impressed with the speed of the shipping.

I love the new very subtle branding on the camera ring. The silver gray with blueish tones aluminum is really nice!

It is MagClap 2.0. My 16PM version was the first version, I had 0 complaints on the MagSafe strength but I’ll take an updated stronger version.

Also the bottom cutouts are even on the 17PM version so we might have more speaker holes. On the bottom of the 16PM there are 4 holes on the left and 6 holes on the right. Might be 6 and 6 on the 17 based on this cutout.

It also looks like the lip curves in more on the 17PM version which is nice for wrapping around the phone again I had no complaints with the 16PM version but I appreciate the small revision.

I love it and can’t wait to slap my 17PM in it!

Yep, 6 either side on my ArmorPro.

I wish the camera ring was more low key and black. That would be icing on the cake 👌

Nice, that's a lot of head :oops:
 
Going to have to count on you and Sal for the latest cases and pictures, I'm out for this year.
I think for me it will be Apple’s new offerings and a Sheath tbh. I intend to behave this year.

Add Benks 600D in the mix too lool

Im off to Rome end of October might spend that extra cash drinking lots of coffee and eating pizza and pasta.
