iPhone 17/Air/Pro/Pro Max Cases

[DesertCanuck17]

Has anyone ever used this brand or case on their previous phones? I am seeking a red leather case for my Blue 17 pro max and i ordered this. Fairly good reviews from last years models.

SHIELDON Genuine Leather Case for iPhone 17 Pro Max 6.9 Inch 2025 | Magnetic Wireless Charging, Slim Fit, Non-Slip, Shockproof Protective Phone Cover with Metal Buttons & Camera Bump Frame - Retro Red https://a.co/d/83tN9pS

Thanks, that gives me some pause on waiting for that. The non-tap version seems like a decent deal for $50, so I might just go with that for something ultra-light. Wish they had more new designs this year. I saw there was at least one, but it wasn't something I was overly impressed with.

I'm actually pretty intrigued by the Dbrand Tank for some reason, especially with those Plasma buttons (mostly the teal). If they can keep it close to 40g I might give that a try as well.

I like the look of the new Pitaka design, but it’s not on Amazon yet (that I could find anyway). I’ve had enough fit issues with pure aramid cases that I won’t buy them from anywhere other than Amazon (for the easy returns) in case one of the corners is loose or there’s a rough spot in the layup.

The Tank looks cool, but I hate to say that ~40 grams is probably wishful thinking. 😊 If I had to bet I’d say it’s closer to 60…

Andar Aspen arrived and this color is going to look so clean with the space black Air

I am officially all set for Friday, minus slow shipping from Nomad. They have always been so damn slow 😂

Air cases - Apple bumper, Apple shadow, Andar Aspen, Ghost

PM cases - Ghost, Terra Cotta, Apple clear

Picking up my Cosmic Orange PM on Friday.

So far I've ordered:

Caudabe Paragon Orange (Open)
Caudabe Sheath Black (Open)
Torras Q3 Air
I'll probably get the Benks cases I always get as well and an Andar Aspen

Anyway, Atomic Studios was bought by Matter and I’m not digging their options. Suti makes a similar product called PhoneBack.

I do like that brown Matter case for my iPhone Air though.

I have a Nomad leather back pre-ordered right now, but the one on my 16PM wore poorly. Up to now though I hadn’t seen any other options remotely comparable.

I wonder if that agave leather on the Matter case would stick to my fingers like real leather, or slide like pleather.

Oh yeah, I said that before I realized the Ghost was a whopping 43g for the Air. 😬 60g sounds about right. Even at that weight, it would still make the total package about 8g less than a naked 17 PM, but likely thicker.

Thanks. Would be very interested in seeing a comparison of the Andar with the Nomad (when you get it, hopefully soon). I got the Nomad, but Andar is tempting since they have more color options.

It makes me sad that you don't post on your Instagram anymore... lol

Very intrigued by the Air... but it may be a mid-cycle present to myself haha

I might be in the minority but I really like that Apple Clear case. Open bottom is a deal breaker for me.

I hope the sides are not creaky as they were on previous models..

Apple clear case for the Air. Wow, the case is thinner than my naked 16 Pro Max. Can’t wait...

The material seems softer…

Btw, there's a quick glance at dbrand's Tank case in MKBHDs APP3 review today.

Somebody posted a picture of the Tank, and I couldn't decide if it was an actual product or an artist's response to the heavy industrial design of the new Pro models. So it's real — wowza!

So, is everyone receiving their phones on Friday?

I'm the only one with a 9/30 date?

 

[jazzpolizei]

Do you think it will go well with the iPhone Cosmic Orange

Yes! I think that should be a fabulous combo.

The Andar is beautiful. I would of ordered that one if shipping and customs to canada werent crazy, so i went with the saddle brown from ryan london and should have it this week. As much as i would love a clear case, im just too OCD for it haha

 

[blaine07]

Best Buy has all their 17 cases on display. Torras, UAH, Otterbox, DBrand…

Got a cheap silicone Elago case in case there is some issue with the metal plateau ring on my ArmorPro (99.9% sure it's a non issue) and while I stay tuned for my Sheath and Tank.
Chose this as my wife got one for her Air and it felt and looks lovely and at £14.99 didn't really need to think about it.

LOTS of colours to choose from but went with a medium grey as I think it'll look good with the Orgasmic Orange. The cc button works perfectly.

How easy is this to get in and out of your pocket? I used to love their hardshell cases, but the silicone ones are always sticky/grabby/awkward with fabrics in my experience.

Yep you waiting too long 😂

Might wanna hit a store on the 19th and see if you can score one. Then just cancel your 30th order.

Thread will be dead by the time you get your PM.

Probably we all will see you next year in Aug/Sep for next upgrade.
