dbrand - Grip Case with MagSafe for Apple iPhone 17 Pro Max - Black

First time I’ve ever paid a premium for a phone case and couldn’t be happier with what I got. It’s really well built and protects my phone well. Looks nice and is super grippy which keeps it from falling out of my pocket. Manufacturer includes a coupon for a free skin in the box and the options are super cool.

I’ve tried a lot of cases over the years and this Grip is easily one of the most secure feeling ones I’ve used. The texture on the sides actually makes a difference. It doesn’t slide around in my hand and I feel way more confident using my 17 Pro Max one handed. The buttons are really clicky and responsive too, which I didn’t expect but definitely appreciate. MagSafe strength has been solid with my charger and car mount. It snaps on and stays put. The only downside for me is that it adds a bit more bulk than the super thin cases I usually go for. It’s not crazy thick, just noticeable. Still, the protection and grip make it worth it for me.

This case is one of the best cases I’ve had in years. It has full coverage, the grip is immaculate, and I love the texture of the case as well. I’ve bought several cases since the release of the 17 line-up, and I’ve returned or exchanged most of them. I have given the others away because this is the only case I prefer. It also comes with a free skin of your choice to customize the case, which was so easy to install. HUGE shout out to DBrand. If you’re reading this, please go get this case. You will not regret it.

Good build quality, Good feel in the hand. Built very tough. I appreciate the overall value the case offers. I did return it because it was a little to bulky for my liking, but do still recognize the quality and utility of it. I will say the one I bought, had as scratch out of the box on the protective area around the camera, but I imagine that might be an overlooked QC issue, as you could only see it from some angles. Overall it is a good case. I will say also, the camera button implementation on this case is the best I have seen done so far. It is essentially flush with the side of the case, but still functions, nearly as well as if there was no case at all.

The 17 Pro Max is already a massive phone, so I really didn't want a "tank-sized" case that makes it impossible to carry or put in my back pocket. The dbrand Grip hits that perfect middle ground—it’s thin at about 2mm, but feels incredibly rigid and secure. ​One of the biggest wins for me is the MagSafe. The magnets are way stronger than other cases I’ve tried, which is huge for my car mount. I don't have to worry about my phone flying off every time I hit a bump in the road anymore. ​I usually order my dbrand gear directly from their site, so seeing Best Buy now carries dbrand cases was a nice surprise. The fit is perfect with no creaking or loose corners, and the buttons have a mechanical "click" that honestly feels better than the actual phone buttons. I also love that I can swap out the skins on the back if I get bored of the look. (Quick tip: check for the card inside the box to redeem a free skin through their website) ​It’s an investment, but still affordable—and considering the cost of the 17 Pro Max, the peace of mind is worth every cent.
