It’s the most exciting season for iPhone fans. While “most exciting season” could be an overstatement, it’s definitely gratifying when your phone plan, finances, and the latest iPhone launches coincide. Personally, I enjoy unveiling a new iPhone, removing the tape from the box that later gets tucked away for years. It appears that whenever it’s time for a new iPhone, my existing one ends up taking a disastrous tumble. I’ve learned to be cautious and now always seek the best phone case with each new device. If you prioritize phone protection or aren’t keen on the iPhone 17 Pro design, we’ve compiled some of the finest iPhone 17 Pro cases.

This year, a case is particularly crucial due to Scratchgate. The new iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max are made with an aluminum body that’s quite susceptible to scratches, so I suggest acquiring a case before visiting the Apple store.

I have to mention my current phone case. When I received a custom phone case from Memor, I was drawn in by their aesthetic categories: Venus, adastra, nautilus, starlet, musette, and intaglio. I opted for Venus, which Memor characterizes as merging the romantic charm of Botticelli’s ‘The Birth of Venus’ with the whimsical essence of Sofia Coppola’s Marie Antoinette.

I often get compliments on my phone case, and if I earned a dollar for each discussion it initiated about phones as fashion statements, I’d have enough to purchase two additional cases (which I’m excited to do). Memor has preorders available for iPhone 17 and iPhone 17 Pro cases.

If you’re on the lookout for a new case for your iPhone 17 Pro or Pro Max, here are some top choices from both lesser-known brands (Memor, Urban Sophistication) and popular names (Casetify, Spigen, and Apple).
