You’re Going to Drop Your New iPhone 17. Don’t Skimp on the Case

Remember to grab something to protect your new device. Many of your favorite brands, like Casetify, have already released new cases for the upcoming iPhone 17 models. Even Apple has dropped its new line of cases, with some fun new accessories, too.

Man, I felt like this article was written just for me. When the new phones were announced and they mentioned the Unibody of the Pro phones, I immediately thought of going caseless for the first time ever. I figured that since Apple keeps touting how durable everything is, I could just run around with a “naked” phone. I mean, I do have Apple Care, right? That’s better than a case, isn’t it? These are all the things that ran through my head, but then I chickened out after a bit. Reading this article just confirmed my bias, and I ordered a case for it.

Actually, I ordered two cases. Originally, I ordered the silicone case in orange to complement my phone. However, when I received it yesterday, I remembered why I don’t like silicone cases. They feel fragile. They feel great when they’re new, but then they get all stretchy and loose. At least that has been my experience in the past. Then, I took a second look at my wife’s Tech Woven case, and it felt good in the hand. I even tried to scratch it with my nail, and it didn’t even leave a mark. So, I ordered one for myself and I’m going to return the silicone one.
