Protective Cases for the Latest iPhone Series
Recent reports indicate that the aluminum chassis of the new iPhone 17 Pro models, and to a lesser extent, the standard iPhone 17, are susceptible to scratching due to the anodization process. While the iPhone Air features a more durable titanium build, protection for these devices remains a priority. This article provides an overview of highly-rated protective case options for the new iPhone series.

Silicone Case: Apple’s Silicone Cases offer a soft-touch finish and are compatible with the Crossbody Strap (sold separately for $60).
