The best iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max cases (updated)
It’s the most wonderful time of year — if you’re an iPhone-head, that is. OK, maybe "most wonderful time of year" is an overstatement, but it is so satisfying when the stars align with your phone plan, your bank account, and new iPhone releases.
I personally love peeling off the tape from that little white box that you end up shoving in a drawer for the next six to 12 years. It seems like when I am due for a new iPhone, my current phone heaves its last dying breath and suffers a mortal tumble on the sidewalk. I’ve since learned my lesson, and with each new phone, I always hunt for the best phone case. If you also keep your phone protected — or if you're among those who don't love the iPhone 17 Pro design — we've rounded up some of the best iPhone 17 Pro cases.
This year, a case is extra important, as by now you've probably heard about Scratchgate. The new iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max feature an aluminum body that's extremely prone to scratching, and I actually recommend buying a case before you even head to the Apple store, just to be safe.

I would also be remiss if I didn’t give my current phone case a shoutout. When I picked up a bespoke phone case from Memor, I was mesmerized by their different “genres” of aesthetic: Venus, adastra, nautilus, starlet, musette, and intaglio. I personally chose the category Venus, which Memor says “blends the romantic allure & poetry of Botticelli’s 'The Birth of Venus' with the decadent, whimsical world of Sophia Coppola’s Marie Antoinette."
I always get so many compliments on my phone case, and if I had a dollar for every time it sparked a conversation about our phones' potential to be part of our outfits, I’d have enough dollars to buy two more cases (which I am dying to do). Pssst, Memor has preorders open for iPhone 17 and iPhone 17 Pro phone cases.
If you’re in the market for a new case for your iPhone 17 Pro (or iPhone 17 Pro Max), here are some of the top options from both under-the-radar brands (Memor, Urban Sophistication) and old favorites (Casetify, Spigen, and, of course, Apple itself).
Ringke
Starting our list strong, we have this iPhone 17 Pro case with a built-in card holder. This minimalist case can hold just one card so it’s perfect if you have Apple Pay on your phone and want to carry your ID (or Costco gold membership card).
This case supports wireless charging and touch-to-pay functions. It also has strap holes for easy accessorizing.

Otterbox recently debuted a new glittery orange phone case that's clearly inspired by Taylor Swift's upcoming The Life of a Showgirlalbum. Lots of Swifties have noticed that the iPhone 17 Pro Max's signature Cosmic Orange color looks very similar to Swift's color theme for TLoaS, and now you can get cases to match. The Otterbox Encore Series cases are available for the entire iPhone 17 line, plus select Galaxy phones.

These iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max Spigen phone cases are meticulously designed to fit your phone like a glove. Spigen focuses on super precise button and camera holes for a seamless user experience. The clear plastic is also specifically designed to withstand wear, tear, and scuffing. And with a $15.99 price tag, it's significantly less expensive than Apple's own cases.

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 youare a fan of the new Cosmic Orange iPhone 17 Pro Max, opt for a case that shows it off.

The Apple iPhone 17 Pro TechWoven case is ideal for those seeking a more textile-like feel over a smooth, plasticky surface texture.

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."
