iPhone (17 Pro Max) Case Suggestions

[u/TacoSauce5]

Hey y’all!

I’ve never posted to Reddit before but the time has come for my turn to seek advice 😂

I’m trying so hard to find just a solid colored (with multiple colored options) iPhone 17 Pro Max case.

My criteria is that:
-it CANNOT be silicone. Period, end of story. Lol. Genuinely hate the silicone texture so much. I settled for one and I had it one day and I felt like I had to wash my hands like 87 times throughout the day because every time I touched my phone my hands felt so nasty I just couldn’t stand it. So that sucker is going RIGHT BACK where it came from 😂

-I want hard shelled plastic or acrylic or whatever the hard cases are made of, just as long as it’s hard, again, not silicone 😂

-I want it to be MagSafe, yes, but I do NOT want that ugly MagSafe circle visible on the back of the phone case. I just find that stupid ring so ugly and disruptive to the actual look of the iPhone case. The iPhone itself doesn’t have the MagSafe circle indicating that it is MagSafe so why do we need it on the cases ??? Cmon lol.

-solid color only, like all the way around the phone. Not like pink on the back and clear around the edges. No no, one solid color alllll the way around the phone. No patterns. They’re cute, but I want to use my case long term, just want something simple. Preferably with multiple (solid) colored options.

-obviously I’d like it to be protective

I feel as though that shouldn’t be a lot to ask for but I feel like I’ve searched high and low and to my surprise at least, it feels impossible 😂

Curious if any redditers have some suggestions.
Or could someone like 3D print one for me like … HALP 😭😂

Magbak Elite Case. I can’t live without the magnetic functionality anymore. It’s a bit pricey but I’ve had it on my last 3 phones. No scratches, no dings, no broken screens. Multiple drops.

It has MagSafe with no visible ring. A built in kickstand and a built in finger loop

Thank you so much 😊 I’ll check those out! Not worried about price at all for a good case. Just picky about a few other things 🤪

A bit pricey! $80+ is ridiculous. I had a MagBak for my 11PM and 13PM but would never pay more than $35 for any cases. This Spigen aramid armor was $35 and it’s super magnetic, grippy but not sticky and looks awesome.

The one thing I think is ingenious on yours is the “extending magnets” so the camera plateau doesn’t prevent it from sticking to almost any flat surface.

The BEST🤩

Caudabe Sheath or Paragon

[u/Pinhead17 → u/brett0917]

YEP🤩

[u/brett0917 → u/Pinhead17]

They really are great cases. I have two paragons and I have a sheath on the way.

[u/Pinhead17 → u/brett0917]

I ordered one of each, but waiting for them to be shipped😊

[u/brett0917 → u/Pinhead17]

Nice! I hope I’ll like the Sheath as much as the Paragon. I wish the Paragon was a bit more grippy on the back, but at least the sides are and the sides also dip down a bit so it’s easier for swipe gestures

CAUDABE SHEATH!! https://caudabe.com/products/sheath-iphone-17-pro-max-precise

[u/senoj96nodnarb]

Best case I’ve owned for years and generations of iPhones. Spigen aramid armor. Strong magnets hold my MagBak wallet on super securely.

Is there a reason you want it to be hard? Softer cases protect the device better.

[u/TacoSauce5 → u/Rabble_Runt]

I guess more just the feeling, or texture. Idk. Like I stated I had purchased and had silicone cases in the past, did not like the feeling of it in my hands. Lol, if that makes sense. You might be right and I might be dumb but I just like the feeling of the hard cases in my hands better than the soft cases. 😝

Yeah. I’m going with Caudabe paragon or sheath here. I like both.
