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.
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 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, Spiegen, 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
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.
Spiegen
This iPhone 17 Pro phone case from Spiegen is meticulously designed to fit your phone like a glove. Spiegen 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.
Torras
Okay, it’s super annoying when you have a giant phone case that doesn’t slip into your pocket easily and is just generally sort of large and clunky. This iPhone 17 Pro phone case from Torras is perfect if you’re looking for a slim profile phone case that protects your phone and doesn’t take up too much space.
Mashable Light Speed
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 you are a fan of the new Cosmic Orange iPhone 17 Pro Max, opt for a case that shows it off.
Kate Spade New York
This MagSafe-compatible phone case from Kate Spade New York is made from up to 40 percent recycled materials and has a classic tortoiseshell design. The designer brand has about a dozen iPhone 17 Pro cases, including some fashion-forward cases with a wavy, ombre design.
These cases come in a myriad of colors and patterns with the chic and recognizable Kate Spade New York insignia. This is an excellent option if you want your case to seamlessly blend into your personal style.
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.
DOMAVER
This iPhone 17 Pro phone case is perfect for someone looking for a statement color and an atypical silhouette. This case comes in bright orange with a screen protector and MagSafe charging capability. It also has a translucent matte finish, if getting a specific color of iPhone is important to you — and you want it to show through the case.
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.
Honorable Mention: Apple Crossbody Strap
At the Apple Event 2025, Apple didn’t just introduce new watches, phones, and AirPods. In between the headline news, your favorite fruit company also debuted some new accessories. We’ve already talked about the new TechWoven iPhone 17 cases, but you can also pair your magnetic iPhone case with the new Apple Crossbody Strap.
While it’s not technically an iPhone 17 case, it will pair well with any of Apple’s official cases.
