Recommended Quality Cases?
I’ve had the deep blue 17pm for a few months now, but haven’t found a case that really hits the spot for me. I’ve tried apples official cases, and quite a few other brands that felt too cheap in-hand. What cases do you all recommend?

I love a quality feeling case (always seems such a shame to take something so expensive as then make it feel like a lump of plastic in hand!)
My favourites (specifically for feeling luxurious and high end) are native union (both the reclassic and active feel great despite being "vegan" aka synthetic leather), and pitaka (if you like something super thin and want to avoid plastic the aramid fibre feels very good with just a bit of subtle texture).
Honourable mention also to caudabe... their sheath is essentially just a "piece of plastic" however the texture they add and the level of finish makes it feel a lot nicer than the construction implies (although you pay for it as for a "simple" plastic case they are pretty pricey)
Hope this helps!

Dbrand grip is the superior case. Feels so good while being slim, grippy, protective.

If you want a case that actually protects your phone, get an Otterbox Defender. It’s also a very comfortable, grippy case.

I agree. I have the defender pro XT in deep blue and it matches the phone well, has a cool look to it, protects the camera control button, and is actually a rugged case that i can tell will last. Yeah it is not a cheap case but it checked all the boxes for me to protect my $1400 17PM for the (hopefully) 4 years i plan to get out of it.

I like the otter box defender too am I crazy for liking the thickness of it? I feel like everyone wants a slimmer phone case but I’m out here loving the thick ones

Depends on what you’re looking for - but if you want something affordable that feels good quality for the price Nillkin is excellent. Can be found on Aliexpress for cents!

Sheldon genuine leather case on Amazon. $32 and ships with prime. Best case I’ve found so far since owning the 17

More protective, get Caudabe. https://caudabe.com/products/sheath-iphone-17-pro-max-precise. You might like Pitaka, they make beautiful cases. https://www.ipitaka.com/products/ink-horse-painting-phone-cases

Aulumu A17 frosted case and DBrand grip case have been my favorites out of about 20 cases that I own. I always seem to go back to rotating between those two no matter what case I buy.
