I can confirm this is a problem with all the Defender Series Pro Max cases. I bought two from Best Buy, and both had the same issue. It honestly feels like they designed the case without even testing it on a real iPhone
Not a fan. It looks nice, but feels weird. Also there is no microfiber material on the inside of the case. It’s a similar material that on the outside. Also, lots of extra glue around the buttons. Feels low quality to me which made it an easy return.
Been struggling to find a leather case + magsafe wallet combo I like this year. Usually like Andar but I don't like the color hues they have this time around. Anyone else have any recommendations?
Uh oh. iPhone 17 Pro Max case has what appears to be an aluminum protective ring around camera plateau. Bad idea?
It's this one:

If this is going to block cell signals, etc. I guess I should return it.

Love that Cactus case, beautiful
wonder how the regular symmetry is this year?
Is that protective ring around the camera plateau made of metal or plastic? Does it touch the camera plateau?
The two things I'm concerned about are scratches on the aluminum camera plateau and blocking wireless signals.
Also, see my post above. Mine appears to be made of aluminum, so I'm thinking I should get a different case.
The late October date is holding me off, I will get one sooner or later though. Wonder if Best Buy will stock them once released?
I hope so because shipping times direct from Dbrand is horrific
My UPS driver tortured me and brought this right at the end of the day. Only had time for a couple of pics after throwing on the screen protector and case while simultaneously trying to cook dinner for my wife… lol. So far, it seems totally amazing. So light, so nice to hold, feels super premium. The Apple case is not bad at all, but when the Pitaka and Arc arrive (tomorrow, and who knows when, respectively), it will likely be relegated to the dustbin. The phone though, could end up being one of my favorites of all time (assuming I get along with the camera). Certainly, the first impression leads me to believe so.

Not a fan personally. It looks nice enough but it doesn't feel very pleasant tactile wise. I'm looking for a replacement now and will be returning.
A black cactus would be really sharp on that phone.
The Totallee case comes in at 18 g, or .63 ounces. (The Air is 165g) That’s going to be hard to beat, that along with the matte finish so no fingerprints. I had some initial concerns on how it would work with my MagSafe chargers being that it does not have a MagSafe ring. It’s so thin it works just fine.
Yeah it felt werid i was surprised i thought it was really good case i really do like it! Felt perfect. I’m sure get use to it for few then forget about it. Didn’t bother i really like so far with 17 PM.
Extra glue around ??? Interesting…
Decided on Midnight Silicone. Perfect match for Deep Blue 17 Pro. Attaching an outdoors pic and then two indoors ones - it also perfectly compliments the 17 Pro exclusive wallpaper. I feel like it’s definitely almost the exact same as the original Midnight Blue silicone case they did ages ago.
