If you're looking for a super thin minimalistic phone cover, then keep looking - this ain't it. If you're okay with a slightly thicker case in order to get really great protection and you want a lot of great features including a crystal clear back to let your iPhone color shine through, then this is the case for you.
Generally speaking, I prefer a super thin case on my iPhone since I have Apple Care+ and the 17 Pro Max is already a big phone for small hands, but occasionally in certain situations, I'll want to use a case that provides better protection. The ZAGG Santa Cruz Snap with Kickstand case is perfect for those times. It provides excellent protection - I'm not intentionally dropping my phone on pavement to test it, but I'm confident it would protect my phone through many accidentals. It is fairly thick - not overly so - but thick enough to offer good protection. Button covers are great in that they protect without getting in the way. I can still easily press the buttons but the case doesn't cause unintentional pressing. The lip on the front screen is plenty enough to keep it from getting damaged - same for the bezel around the camera lenses. And the sides have a nice textured grip that feels great in the hand and makes you a lot less likely to drop it in the first place.
Aside from all the great assets to keep your phone safe, this case also has all the functional features I want: Super strong MagSafe magnet so that I can use all my MagSafe accessories with the case on; a sleek built in kickstand that allows me to stand my phone vertically or horizontally; and a crystal clear back that let's my shiny orange 17 Pro Max show through. (I've been waiting for years for Apple to release an orange phone - the last thing I want to do is cover it up.)
Other things to know... I love the MagSafe Ring being black rather than white. I think black blends better with my Orange phone. The sides of the case are NOT clear - they are a translucent black, but I like the way it looks. All ports, speakers, buttons are easily accessible and work great with the cover on.
Overall, an excellent case from ZAGG for anyone looking for a high quality case that offers good drop protection and some great features.

Honestly a great case, already dropped my phone a couple times and not a scratch on it. I’ve dropped it on asphalt multiple times now too.

Kickstand broke

I bought this case a week after the 17 was released. About 2 months later, the kickstand snapped off. Either unlucky to buy the one defected product, or the kickstand breaks too easily. I will not be using a Zagg case again.

I recently upgraded to the iPhone 17 Pro Max and picked up the ZAGG Santa Cruz Snap with Kickstand in Jet Black — and I’m genuinely impressed from start to finish.
Design & Feel
Right out of the box, the case feels premium. The transparent back lets the phone’s own design shine through, while the subtle Jet Black accents add a sleek, understated frame around it. It’s slim and light enough that I barely notice it in my pocket, yet it still gives the phone a solid presence in hand.
Protection & Construction
This case is no mere style piece — it’s built to perform. ZAGG engineers it with graphene reinforcement (which the manufacturer notes is “harder than diamond, yet more elastic than rubber”) and claims drop-protection up to 13 ft (4 m).
ZAGG
+1
The anti-yellowing ClearGuard™ backing ensures the clarity stays crisp over time, and the textured side edges provide a confident, non-slip grip.
ZAGG
+1
Kickstand & Convenience
One of my favorite features is the integrated kickstand — it folds flush when not in use, but when you deploy it, the phone holds securely in both landscape and portrait mode. Ideal for video calls, following a recipe while cooking, or streaming videos hands-free.
ZAGG
On top of that, the case supports MagSafe and wireless charging, so no need to remove it when charging or snapping magnetic accessories.
ZAGG
Everyday Use
In day-to-day use I’ve noticed a few things: the grip is very secure, so the phone feels safe even when pulled out of a crowded bag. The clear back remains visually clean — the anti-yellowing treatment seems to work as promised. And having the kickstand means I don’t have to prop the phone awkwardly on cushions when watching something — I just set it down and it rests perfectly.
Final Take
If you’re looking for a case that strikes a strong balance between style and protective performance — especially one built for a large premium phone like the iPhone 17 Pro Max — this ZAGG Santa Cruz Snap with Kickstand is a smart choice. It doesn’t compromise on looks, delivers real durability, and adds handy features like the kickstand without feeling bulky. Highly recommend.

Sturdy and does the job. Beware, however, that fingerprints show up easily, perhaps easier than on other covers.

I had bought a different case that wasn’t Zagg and I did not like it and immediately returned it. It had no grip to it and just didn’t feel comfortable. I went back and asked the person working what case he used l. As we had the same new iPhone 17 pro max. It was great and was sold. I’ve been using it for a couple weeks and so glad that I went with this one. It wasn’t cheap but worth it.
