Could you add a column with MagSafe (yes/no). Starting to like those ultra slim cases but cannot live without the MagSafe magnets.
All I can find on that one is that it’s about 14 mm with the phone in it, and it does weigh35g.
For the Air: Mujjo leather in blue, really nice. I returned the Spigen clear case as it yellowed extremely easily. I had one for my 16PM that didn’t yellow for months but this one was a little over a week.
I had on a 16 Pro Max. It did not weather well and heat from charging left a ring.

I am really liking this thin case:
Lyte M Ultra Light Phone Case for iPhone 17 Air in Ash
Sorry for the late reply. I got it from Amazon, the color is Basalt Blue. It’s a dark blue, here’s a picture of it in the sun.

Hadn't seen that one.. I personally find that the external magsafe rings like that are a bit irritating>
nice case, like the ash color
Not currently, let me see what I can do. I really don’t use Google.
I'd take the time if we could get it to be a sticky at the top of this thread. Otherwise, it would get lost in the posts

Yeah it's been my go-to since launch. It's a bit slippery, but at least the buttons are nice and clicky this year.
Took delivery of the Tineeowl case for the iPhone Air today. I had the same case for the 16 Pro Max and loved it - really nice, tight fit all around, strong magnet, good camera control button, nice and grippy, doesn’t pick up fingerprints or smudges at all and generally love the feel of the case.
I had a feeling it might be slightly too thick/chunky for the Air but wanted to try it out at least. It actually doesn’t feel like it adds too much weight, it’s still relatively thin and has a nice lip on the screen and plateau. I’ve weighed it though and it’s 45g. That has put a dampener on it for me, to be honest.
I know people say to go caseless with the Air, and I do use it caseless when at home, but I do a fair bit of hiking, and also if I’m out at a bar, or a restaurant or at work, I want to be able to put it down on a table or a desk knowing it’s protected.
I have a leather Moft case on the way, another old favourite of mine, which is apparently 31g. I think that’ll be the happy medium for me, between the Tineeowl at 45g and the Pitaka that I’ve also been using at 21g.

Just wanted to say I installed the UltraGlass and I’m very happy with it. Thank you for the recommendation.
