For iPhone 17

Cases and glass for the iPhone 17

The iPhone 17 has a 6.3-inch screen in an aluminium body Apple measures at 149.6mm by 71.5mm by 7.95mm, weighing 177 grams. Apple lists a colour-infused glass back on its coloured models, which is why so many owners choose a clear case: it guards the phone and still shows the colour they picked.

A case, screen protector, camera protector or set is listed on this page when its own model choices name the iPhone 17. Pick the iPhone 17 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.

What is here for it

• Clear cases, hard and soft, some with shockproof corners. See clear cases and anti-yellowing clear cases.
• Magnetic cases, MagSafe-compatible, clear or with a stand.
• Cases that carry or stand: card holder, kickstand and ring cases, bumpers and lanyard cases.
• Cases with a look: glitter, mirror, flowers, cute, Y2K and luxury plated.
• Screen and camera: tempered glass, back films, a camera lens protector and fitting kits.

Two cameras, one button and the port

Apple calls the 17's camera a 48MP Dual Fusion system: a Fusion Main and a Fusion Ultra Wide, both under sapphire crystal lens covers. Cases and camera protectors are cut for those two, which is why a 17 Pro case, cut for three, will not fit. Camera Control sits on the side and takes a click, a light press and a slide, so check how each case meets it in the photos.

The USB-C port charges the phone and moves files at USB 2 speed, so any good USB-C cable does the job. Apple says it charges to 50% in about 20 minutes with a 40W adapter or higher, and wirelessly at up to 25W on MagSafe with a 30W adapter or higher, or on Qi2. Neither adapter is in the box. See chargers from 20W to 45W and magnetic wireless chargers.

Questions people ask about iPhone 17 cases

Will an iPhone 16 case fit the 17?

No. Apple measures the 16 at 147.6mm by 71.6mm with a 6.1-inch screen, so the 17 is longer, with a bigger screen. Choose iPhone 17 in the model choices, and not 17 Pro, 17e or Air, which are all different phones.

Why do clear cases go yellow?

Sunlight and heat age the soft plastic many clear cases are made from. The guide to case materials explains it and what slows it.

Can I charge it with my old Lightning cable?

No: the 17 has USB-C, like every iPhone from the 15 on. See USB-C cables, or a USB-C to Lightning adapter for older accessories.
