The best iPhone 17 Pro cases to protect (or hide) your new phone

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 fun 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 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.

I would 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 up the conversation about our phone’s potential to be part of our outfits, I’d have enough dollars to buy two more cases (which I am dying to do). Pssst, they have 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, here’s a list of some solid options.

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

If you’re looking for style and durability, this iPhone 17 Pro case is great for you. Embroidered cactus leather features decals of Paris or flowers, stitched with premium thread. The case is designed to withstand daily drops and comes with MagSafe compatibility. 

Casetify

Casetify has so many excellent options when it comes to picking up a new case for your phone. This brightly colored case features a fun design and 11.5-foot drop protection. Its cases are wireless charging compatible and made from recycled plastic.

Burga

If you want a pop of pop culture iconography, you could pick up an iPhone 17 Pro case from Burga. The printed tin of sardines is vivid and meant to last.

Armor-X

Armor-X has this excellent iPhone 17 Pro case that delivers on all fronts for people who want a phone case that is downright tough. Its cover is shock and waterproof, and it even features a carabiner mount. It’s also fully submersible in up to six feet of water for nearly two hours. The crystal-clear built-in screen protector is compatible with surgical gloves, and the case extends slightly, protecting the cameras from getting scratched.

Caseco

So maybe you want something sleek and trustworthy, but it does not need sardine tins or extreme sports durability. In that case, this silicone MagSafe black iPhone 17 Pro case from Caseco is an excellent option. It comes in at $34.99 and feels extra soft to the touch.

Otofly

This silicone case from Otofly has a flat-back design for a seamless grip and fit in your phone. It has drop protection up to seven feet.

Urban Sophistication

Another fashion-forward phone case for the upcoming iPhone 17 Pro Max is this puffer coat-style case from Urban Sophistication. I personally love a statement accessory, even with my phone. It comes in many bold colors while remaining light and squishy and still offering excellent protection for your device.

Mous

Mous offers phone cases and packages that deliver on all fronts. This package from Mous for iPhone 17 Pro features sleek, muted colors, 360-degree screen protection, and a removable magnetic wallet for your cards.

Velvet Caviar

Another style-forward option includes this stardust glitter iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max case from Velvet Caviar. Velvet Caviar specializes in offering extensive matching sets of related products. For example, you can get a case, strap, and purse all in the same pattern if that’s your jam. On top of style options, its cases hold up to wear and tear, have scratch-resistant coating, and a 10-foot drop test certification.
