Apple’s upcoming iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max models are rumored to ship with a fresh set of premium cases, and this time the focus is on a new material: Liquid Silicone.
The leak comes from well-known Apple tipster Majin Buu, who claims the images and specifications are pulled directly from factory schematics. First reported by Tom’s Hardware, the new cases will feature a matte finish with a “soft touch” texture. If the leak holds up, the Liquid Silicone cases will launch in eight colors: Deep Orange, Pale Orange, Grass Green, Celado, Fog Purple, Grey Blue, Dark Blue, and Midnight Black.

Majin Buu also noted that Apple had tested additional colors, including Black and Tannin, though those are reportedly being held back for future seasonal drops. Beyond the colorways, the design specs point to some thoughtful upgrades: an integrated slot for Apple’s new Incase Lanyard, tactile button covers for easier press feedback, and full MagSafe compatibility to play nice with Apple’s existing charging and accessory ecosystem.

Another Majin leak also showed Apple’s new TechWoven case, as the company tries to distance itself from its disappointing FineWoven case rollout. For context, reviewers and users alike reported that the micro‑twill material frayed, scuffed, and accumulated lint almost immediately after use, with visible wear and stains becoming permanent within days.

So, as Tom’s Hardware notes, the belief now is that the rumored TechWoven case line will enhance the durability of the case and give it a more minimal look as well.
