The best cases for the iPhone 17 Pro Max: transparent, sturdy or cool

The iPhone 17 Pro Max looks nice. And although the housing and glass are quite strong, it is still wise to use a case. But such a beautiful iPhone also deserves a good-looking case. Fortunately, there are cases that not only protect your iPhone well, but also look great!

We have listed three of our favorite cases for the iPhone 17 Pro Max for you: a transparent case that still allows you to show off the appearance of your iPhone, a super sturdy protector from Otterbox, and a nice cool case from UAG.

1. Gustaav transparent case with MagSafe: inconspicuous and thin

Are you one of those people who prefers to use their iPhone without a case, but actually wants some protection? Then the Gustaav Superthin transparent case (25 euros) is exactly what you are looking for. This case is thin and barely visible, so others can still see that you have the latest iPhone. According to the makers, the case will not turn yellow over time. Also useful: this case is equipped with MagSafe.

Advantages

• Thin and light;
• Does not yellow (according to the manufacturer).

Disadvantages

• Less shock resistant than the other cases in this comparison. It is better to prevent serious falls;
• Case feels a bit slippery.

2. Otterbox Defender Pro MagSafe: the tank among cases

Do you let your iPhone fall out of your hands a little too often? Or do you work in an environment where your device has to endure a lot? Then the Otterbox Defender Pro (59.95 euros) is the best choice. This case is a real powerhouse with multiple layers of protection, including a sturdy exterior and shock-absorbing inner layer.

The case is MagSafe compatible due to the built-in magnet. The protection for the USB-C port is also useful. The Otterbox is also the only one on this list of iPhone 17 Pro Max cases that has that.

Advantages

• Excellent protection also against dirt and dust;
• Nice grip and feels comfortable in the hand.

Disadvantages

• Makes your iPhone 17 Pro Max even bigger and heavier;
• The button on the Camera control is very sensitive, which means you often accidentally open the camera app.

3. UAG Pathfinder MagSafe: cool and striking

Do you want your iPhone to not only be protected, but also to be seen? The UAG Pathfinder (49.95 euros) is the case for those who like a cool, industrial look. It has a robust design and (this version) a bright yellow color.

Advantages

• Despite its appearance, the case is surprisingly light;
• Nice grip.

Disadvantages

• MagSafe Wallet does not stay in place as well on the back of this case.
