Best case for your pro 17 phone. It feels great in your hand and allows better gripping. Works with magnetic charging devices like the car chargers as well as the night stand chargers. Try it you won’t be disappointed. Comes in different colors all by Zagg a company and brand you can trust.

I’m a big fan of Zagg and have used their screen protectors for as long as I can remember. Their warranties are fantastic, so I decided to try one of their cases this time. This case is extremely nice. It fits the phone snugly, but not so tight that it’s hard to remove. The “Goldilocks zone” lip around the screen gives just the right amount of protection without being too large or getting in the way when swiping as it is also slightly angled so your finger naturally slides across it. The back camera has the same thoughtful protection. All the buttons feel crisp and solid, and I really appreciate the textured edges, which help prevent slipping. Especially, the one between the power and camera button. There are a few drawbacks, though.
First, the backside is pretty slippery at times, though sometimes it feels sticky and provides a good grip. Which is a frustrating conundrum. The bottom charging port and speaker holes tend to pick up debris easily. The case adds about half the phone’s thickness, making the bezels noticeable, though not excessive—especially considering the protection offered. The black accents provide a nice contrast, especially on an orange phone, muting the color slightly while still letting it show through, which I really enjoy.
The kickstand is a nifty, low-profile feature and feels adequately strong—not cheap, but not super robust either. I could see it snapping off or loosening with repeated use, and it does scratch fairly easily. But I think this is also where a lot of the bulk of the case comes from in order for it to sit flush. The case offers excellent protection for both the camera and the screen, and the “airbags” on the sides add extra security. I like the minimized camera lip for a more uniform look, though I do miss having a larger lip for extra grip. As this makes it look and feel like all the iPhones we’ve had for years.
The cutouts for the microphone, flash, and other features are precise, so nothing is blocked. The magnet is nice and strong with no issues. The clear part of the case is very transparent and easy to keep clean. I haven’t used it long enough to comment on yellowing, but the case supposedly has technology to prevent that. Overall, it’s a great relatively low-profile case with excellent protection; my main complaint is that the back can get slick at times and it adds noticeable thickness and weight.

Solid case. Very well constructed. Your phone will not shake loose from the case like the cheapies found at certain mass importers. Kickstand feels durable. Works great and the magnets are strong for the MagSafe accessories and charging.most welcomed is the textures along the sides giving it a better grip than most cases on the market. No slipping in sweaty hands with this one. Adds a minimal amount to the thickness of the phone, but also keeps the lenses and screen from hitting concrete should you drop the phone. Even the buttons are covered. This is a product that takes protection to a serious level. Really nothing I don’t like about it. It’s very well engineered and has high quality control. Feels great in a pocket and not bulky. The smoke look is classy and goes well with all the color choices with the new iPhone 17 pro. Overall this is a very nice phone case for the particular fancy phone owner. You’ll be impressed with your purchase. Paired well with the zagg privacy screen protector.

Great Case with Protection and a Kickstand

This case does almost everything I want. It’s thick enough to protect the phone from drops, yet I would still consider it a slim case. I need MagSafe compatibility for wireless chargers and my wallet, and this case not only includes the necessary magnets, but also uses black ones, which look much better than the white rings I see on most cases. The buttons are easy to press, and there are textures on the sides to help with gripping the phone.
The best part is the kickstand, a thin but solid piece of metal that keeps the phone sturdy in either landscape or portrait. When not in use, it sits flush with the case as it should. There is no protection for the camera control button, but it’s recessed enough that it’s not likely to take damage, and the recess makes it harder to push it accidentally.
The biggest downside is that the MagSafe magnets are not as strong as other cases or even the phone itself. It will hold my wallet, but I find it slipping out of place more often than I’m used to. I’ve had cheap, no-brand cases with much stronger magnets.
Finally, ZAGG will provide a free replacement if the case breaks or if it yellows, which it claims it will not. You will have to pay shipping to get the replacement, but this should provide a bit of insurance for your investment.
Pros:
- Durable Drop Protection
- MagSafe Compatible
- Solid Kickstand
- Black Colored Magnets
- Transparent Design
- Textured Grips
- Anti-scratch Finish
- Lifetime Replacements
Cons:
- No Protection for Camera Control Button
- Weak MagSafe Magnets
Overall – A good case that would be 5-stars if the magnets were just a bit stronger. The kickstand is the standout feature and while I haven’t dropped my phone in this case yet, I feel it should provide plenty of protection in a typical drop.

I have been uding the super cheap cases from the super large online retailler for a long time with mixed results.
When I had to oppurtunity to try one of the nicer ones for my expensive phone I wanted to try it. This is a very snug fit, you do need to press kinda hard to get it on the first time.
This has a cover for almost all of the buttons. I have to assume this is to help keep dust and water out. The only button with no cover is the camera control. I dont know why.
This has a much denser cover material than you will find at the online store. To keep the plastic from being slippery there are slightly rubberized grips on the side of the phone. I have not had a single slip from my hand. There are no protective covers for the lenses like some have, I see this as not as good.
This is my first kickstand. So far it has worked out for me very well. I can sit and watch a movie and not have to find somwething to hold my phone up.
I have several magnetic chargers and they all have worked with the case.

This is my first time using this brand, but I’ve seen many other good reviews that allowed me to confidently go with this particular product.
The box seems to be well packaged and presented.
I’ve always wanted my phone to have a built-in stand, and this one has exactly that so being able to prop it up on my desk or a table is very helpful at times.
The little stand actually a small enough to not even be noticeable when you’re not using it. I’ve had other phone cases where the magnet is the stand and you are kind of limited,
but not with this one. I like the integrated kickstand.
The product feels very durable. It says scratch resistant, but after a few years,
I’m not sure you can avoid it. In my hand, the grip feels comfortable and I’m confident I won’t drop my phone unless I’m completely clumsy.
I’ve always gone with a clear case because I usually pick a different color phone each time so this clear looks clean. Overall, I really like this phone cover and I’m excited to use it.

I purchased the clear case without the kick stand, which is what I wanted. But apparently someone swapped the boxes so the register rang it up as black with the kick stand. I don’t know, but suspect I was charged more for the kickstand model. So i dropped my rating to 4 stars.
I like the case as it is reasonably thin while still protecting the screen and lenses. And the mag safe charger works well with the case on. It also provides a less slippery grip than the bare phone. So I recommend the case I received, in clear without the kickstand. Just be careful to check you are receiving the case described on the box.

I’ve been using the Santa Cruz Snap with Kickstand on my iPhone 17 Pro for a couple weeks, and it’s been solid. Drops haven’t phased it, the grip feels secure, and the kickstand is way more useful than I expected for videos or recipes. It’s a bit thick in the pocket, but overall it’s protective and has a cool, subtle look.

The product works as intended and described. I haven't dropped the phone yet to talk about its durability. The kickstand is nice for video calls and things of that nature. The case does add to the bulkiness to the phone, but I do expect any case that is durable and will protect from drops will be the same. Overall I would purchase again.

Case feels very sturdy and tight. Kickstand built in is such a game changer. Durability is on par! Keeping this case in rotation. Textured grips on the side help a ton
