iPhone 17/Air/Pro/Pro Max Cases

Is there any other website that sells phone backs other than Suti, Matter and Nomad?

Thanks for that, just picked it up. Got my phone yesterday, but my Spigen Thin Fit which I ordered to tide me over until my Sheath arrives is lost in the ether/mail. This is the only case I could buy instore here with precise cutouts.

Quick review- a bit meh, to be honest. Good fit, excellent buttons, but very little lip on both front, sides and back, and not much grip. I don’t think the phone would survive a drop without any damage. The cutaway for the flash is slightly misaligned too.

It’ll do for a week until I get the Sheath, but I can’t recommend it.

Re Native Union Active case:

Sorry for replying to myself, so to speak, but I’m beginning to change my mind about this case, in a positive way.

The fit is truly excellent. Tight, zero sag. No phone frame is visible at all. The back is textured. I have very large hands, but some texture/grip on the sides would be good.

The edges are raised slightly, I was wrong earlier. Not much, but they’re there (I have a screen protector). Same for the camera - maybe 0.5 mm around the bump.

Magsafe strength is excellent.

Micrifibre lining, good.

Buttons excellent, camera control seems OK (but this is my first experience with that button, I skipped the 16).

Still not convinced how well it would protect from a drop, and the cutaway misalignment is irritating (but not affecting function), but it feels well made and comfortable.

Cool, have one coming on Friday. My OCD will not be able to handle misaligned cutouts, praying mine is OK.

Can you post a picture showing this misaligned opening? Thanks.

I’d be interested to hear your opinion.

The cutout misalignment on mine is small - maybe 0.5mm offset too much on the left, and only around the flash.

Unfortunately I can’t take any photos of it on the phone, I’ve just given my 15PM to my kid. For once I have no backup phone. Maybe I should get the Air….

Wow, that looks incredible! I’ve been wanting a midnight blue leather case for so long and it seems like this is the answer. Does it look dark blue in most lighting?

Yes, and it definitely doesn't look black.

I know some people don't like that it's TPU on the top and bottom (you can see in my photo) But you can't really tell and the case doesn't feel cheap. The 17 version has a CC button now too, and it works really well.

Pro or max?

Good cases have had a black one on my 16 pro all year.

Had the agave color! It was the main case I used, and I thought they did the CC cutout really well.

Need to know same. Really taking a liking, also, to the cases with their exposed sides similarly to Phone Rebels offerings.

My blue techwoven gets delivered today and I’m so hyped for it! Seems like it’s one of the best cases this year
