The suti 17 pro max states 52 grams on their site; for my 16 pro i used the nomad leather phoneback (which was around 30 grams?). I think because the suti and matter ones attach magnetically, they weigh more... whereas nomad uses adhesives. I got tired of the leather look and wanted to see the color of my phone, so my only options would be clear phoneback or arc pulse lol

I weighed the Süti NanoLeather phone back for the 17 pro max and it's 38.8 grams.

I’m glad you finally received your case. The color combo looks good.

I’ve mentioned this before, but I wonder why phone backs have to be so heavy? I’d love to see them use a lighter, more rigid material such as aramid fiber to get the weight down under 20 grams. I wonder if they have to make the back thicker than a regular case since there is no support from the sides, or if the magnets have to be stronger? Just curious.

My Andar Aspen is 37 grams, which is about the limit of the amount of weight I’d want to add to my Air.

The clear phoneback from suti with pro max = 275g , so around 41/42g for pro max
The matter clear phoneback with pro max = 280g, so around 47g

No screen protector on... also might vary by 1-2g as its just random old scale i had layin around

They offered carbon fiber for the previous models. Per Suti, carbon fiber is not confirmed for the new models at this time ☹️

Was the carbon model lighter? I thought it was just a sticker…
I emailed Suti a few weeks ago before placing my order.

The carbon fiber is closer to the 2.3mm and the clear closer to 4mm. Silicone is in the middle.

I didn’t inquire about the weights though, but based on the above, carbon fiber has to be lighter.

@strkt1192 I did register my Matter phone back with the warranty QR code that came one the packaging, so if anything changes, I will be emailing them. I was thinking of sending them a video of me sliding the bottom of the case, but knowing them, they’re probably going to say the MagSafe magnets will prevent it from falling off.

I emailed them so hopefully they can make it right. With enough force if u push left or right the magnet comes off. It should stay still imo and not wiggle.
 
I am still waiting for the Suti Alpine Orange phone back for my silver 17 pro. I have high hopes.

FYI, per Suti, the clear is the heaviest. Silicone and Nanoleather are lighter. Carbon fiber is the lightest and thinnest but sadly not be offered for the new iPhones ☹️

I thought about clear but they did it dirty with the full MagSafe circle 🤣

looks way better then the incomplete rings imo. Just cover the logo and pretend it doesnt exist. Clear cases look like **** this year.
 
Budget case king back at it with the Spigen Ultra Hybrid Magfit - frost white

So clean on the silver especially with the frosted back …great grip, lightweight, and smudge free so far too. Apple clear case going bye bye.

I was looking into this - I actually prefer to save a bit of weight and get a NON-magfit case. Their non-magfit doesn't come in "Frost" but I was struggling to get a sense of what the frost actually was. Is the whole case frosted and not "crystal clear", or is it just the glass panel area that is translucent? Because at that point I'm not really sure the difference of seeing the white of the silver vs... grey-ish if frosted over?
 
For anyone looking for skins, QSkinz is having a sale on iPhone 17 series skins.

🕐 First 12 hours: Buy 1 skin, get 1 free. Just add two to your cart and use code HELLO17

📆 Next 3 days: Get 25% OFF with code 25HELLO17
How do these skins work with a case? Are they mega thin and issue-free, or are they too thick and will they make the tolerances too out-of-spec that cases won't fit/wrap around and hug the phone properly?

Not in this case where the Apple logo is cut off by the full ring. Incomplete ring is the way to go here (like the Matter HT Ice Snap).

I am not expecting any other packages from USPS, so hoping it is from Suti. @Momof2.1107 received a random tracking number as well.
I had a random tracking number show up in my account today. I wonder if it might be from Suti? The origin is Chicago, which matches up with the other replacement shipments I’ve seen posted here.
