Getting a 17 and I love the apple leather cases as they’re thin and light. Buttons feels just like the buttons on the phone.


I’m torn between bellroy or Ryan London. I think Ryan London might be heavier and thicker but more durable.

Mujjo looks great but no camera button.

Has anyone used these brands on earlier phones, can anyone help?

As a bonus question. I loved the Spigen liquid air cases but I need MagSafe. Anything similar to that out there? Seems even standard cases cost the earth now and they all seem quite thick
 
I ordered the Nomad magnetic leather backplate in brown for my gold Air. I've been happy with the feel and function of the one on my 17PM, though I will say it wore rather poorly rather than developing a good patina. MagSafe accessories are rough on it.
 
I got a crazy amount of leather cases when the 15 pro launched and unfortunately none of them were a light or thin as the apple leather case. I tried Andar, Keyway, Bullstrap, Bare, Alto, Nomad leather back, Luckycoin, dbrand leather skin, Lonli and YMW. The thinnest was Keyway but you have the X on the back that I didnt care for and the lip on them is pretty high. My favorite/most used was the Luckycoin. It is noticeably thicker than the apple case but only about 5 or 6 grams heavier. It also seems to have the nicest patina. Not sure when/if they are launching the 17 series cases.
 
I usually go Bullstrap, but I'm not sure I like how they covered half of the camera plateau. I think I'd prefer the exposed look as it looks cleaner and would prevent flash or sensor interference.
