Cases and glass for the iPhone 17 Pro Max
The iPhone 17 Pro Max has a 6.9-inch screen in a body Apple measures at 163.4mm by 78mm by 8.75mm, weighing 231 grams. Apple made the 17 Pro phones with an aluminium unibody, where the 16 Pro phones had titanium. A big screen is tiring to hold for long, which is why many of the cases here add a stand, a ring or a strap.
A case, screen protector, camera protector or set is listed on this page when its own model choices name the iPhone 17 Pro Max. Pick the iPhone 17 Pro Max in those choices when you order: the same product is often made in many sizes, and the choice decides which one is sent. Cables, chargers and holders are not listed by phone, because they fit every phone; they are linked further down.

Charging it quickly
Apple says the 17 Pro Max charges to 50% in about 20 minutes on a cable with a 40W adapter or higher, and wirelessly at up to 25W on MagSafe and Qi2 with a 30W adapter or higher. Neither adapter is in the box, which holds only a 1m USB-C cable. So the charger is worth choosing with the case: see chargers from 20W to 45W and magnetic wireless chargers. The guide to fast charging explains what the watts mean.
The cameras
Apple lists three 48MP cameras on the back, Fusion Main, Fusion Ultra Wide and a 4x Fusion Telephoto, under sapphire crystal lens covers, with Camera Control on the side. A good case has a raised lip round the camera and a clear way to reach Camera Control: look at the photos.
Questions people ask about iPhone 17 Pro Max cases
Will an iPhone 16 Pro Max case fit?
No. Apple measures the 16 Pro Max at 163mm by 77.6mm by 8.25mm, so the 17 Pro Max is a little larger every way, and its telephoto is 4x where the 16 Pro Max's is 5x. Choose the 17 Pro Max in the model choices.
Can I keep a magnetic wallet on while it charges?
Take it off first. Apple warns never to put cards, badges or key fobs between the iPhone and a charger. See magnetic phone wallets.
Which screen protector suits a big screen?
Tempered glass with a fitting frame is the easiest to line up on a large screen, and a 3-pack leaves spares if the first goes on badly.
