The Coolest Cases to Keep Your New iPhone 17 Pro & Pro Max Scratch-Free!

It’s that time of year again — new iPhone releases are here! For those of us who are die-hard iPhone fans, this is always an exciting time. Whether it’s upgrading to the latest model or just getting a new case for your current phone, there’s always something to look forward to.

One thing I’ve learned over the years is the importance of a good phone case. With the new iPhone 17 Pro models being prone to scratching, it’s essential to protect your investment right from the start. That’s why I always make sure to have a reliable case before I even leave the house to pick up my new phone.

If you’re in the market for a new case for your iPhone 17 Pro or Pro Max, there are plenty of options to choose from. From sleek and minimalistic designs to stylish and durable cases, there’s something for everyone.

Ringke

One option worth considering is the Ringke iPhone 17 Pro case with a built-in card holder. This minimalist case not only protects your phone but also allows you to carry a card with you at all times. Plus, it’s wireless charging compatible and has strap holes for added convenience.

Featuring embroidered cactus leather with intricate designs, this case is not only fashionable but also built to withstand daily wear and tear. And with MagSafe compatibility, it’s a practical choice for any iPhone user.

Apple

Some of the best iPhone 17 Pro Max cases come from Apple itself, which is hardly a surprise. (Though, Apple iPhone cases do tend to be a bit pricey compared to the alternatives.) And for the iPhone 17 line, Apple introduced a new line of TechWoven cases. However, I especially love Apple’s durable, clear phone case that displays the unique color of the iPhone you selected. So, if you are a fan of the new Cosmic Orange iPhone 17 Pro Max, opt for a case that shows it off.

iPhone 17 Pro Max TechWoven

The Apple iPhone 17 Pro TechWoven case is ideal for those seeking a more textile-like feel over a smooth, plasticky surface texture. This case comes in some soothing, subtle colors like sienna, purple, green, and blue. Pro tip: If you’re a gamer, combine the Cosmic Orange iPhone 17 Pro Max with a brown TechWoven case for a combination people are calling the “Master Chief iPhone.”

Honorable Mention: Apple Crossbody Strap

At the Apple Event 2025, Apple didn’t just introduce new watches, phones, and AirPods. In between the headline news, your favorite fruit company also debuted some new accessories. We’ve already talked about the new TechWoven iPhone 17 cases, but you can also pair your magnetic iPhone case with the new Apple Crossbody Strap.

While it’s not technically an iPhone 17 case, it will pair well with any of Apple’s official cases.
