I never understood the desire of lens protectors. I personally would never put those things on but I know to each their own.
OMFG!
I just found this thing in smaller scale on my Air too after wearing Arc Pulse 🫣.
Now I constantly hover my fingers over this place 🤦♂️
Those things are evil. Totally unnecessary and badly degrade image quality.
Dbrand Ghost: I had it, but returned it. The sides were grippy, but the buttons were not really firm. Also, as someone else said you will notice lint and dust under it as well.
TAC Onyx Clear: I have this case, it is super thin and doesn’t have any buttons, just cutouts. It is smoked, so you won’t notice dust or lint nearly as easily. If you hands aren’t dry it isn’t too bad on grip. This case doesn’t cover the plateau.
Premium Case - iPhone 17 Pro Max
Our new and improved Premium Clear is now even clearer, with an ultra-thin, lightweight design that seamlessly showcases your phone’s beauty. We’ve also boosted MagSafe strength to ensure the most secure hold for your accessories and designed our most precise cutouts yet for a flawless fit.

Spigen Ultra Hybrid Matte (Frost Black Orange): I am using this case now, it has nice button clicks, recessed CC button, frosted back and covers the plateau. I have not noticed any lint or dust under the frosted part yet. Can be a little slippery, if they would add some texture the black sides it would be much better.
Spigen Ultra Hybrid T (Matte Black): I am awaiting on this one to arrive tomorrow. I also went with the dark matte translucent option to limit dust and lint being seen. This TPU material is on the sides and over the plateau and I think it will give some grip. I am not sure how the lower covered part of the back will feel, but I will report back if others want to know. The buttons are different so not sure if they will be good or bad, will see tomorrow.
Anyone using the Beats case regularly since launch? How is it holding up? Have read some online reviews saying they scratch up and paint flaking off easily?

I had this one from Spigen for my blue 17 PM:
Actually, I thought it was great. But: The first case I ordered, was scratched and I sent it back. The second case was also scratched again, had to send this one back as well. Therefore, no more Spigen for me.

Waited over 2 months for my Caudabe Paragon precise (Germany). 🤣
I have the version for the Air. Not bad, but because of the soft material and open bottom it pops off the phone too easily.Anyone tried the Apple Clear case? On offer at the moment:

I called this the first time I saw the bumps on the inside of the camera plateau area. Me, no buy 🤣
Can't imagine what the hard inside shell of the Otterbox Defender would do to the sides of these phones
😱😳
Are there already any reports about the Paragon? 🫣😂😂
If I have to wait more than 10 days, I cancel directly. 😡
Thank you! You nailed it, my curiosity is out of straight boredom with case selection and wanting to try something new. You just talked me out of it! thank you!!!

I have the clear case. It’s incredibly nice to hold but also slippery and collects detritus like a magnet. Loose around the bottom bit still incredibly hard to pry off the phone. Also not protective at all. I shelved it like one week later. Waste of money imho.

Camera control button is loose AF. The rest of the buttons are built into the case.
Cute but I really dislike the c11 thing on the bottom right they put on those cases.
Aren't you afraid that the camera lens protector won't be so easy to remove again? 😬
Don’t worry Paragon is not going to damage your phone lol
Any idea when Shutterfly is going to release a custom photo printed case for the 17 pro max?
Ordered this on 12/30 - it shipped surprisingly on 1/8...should be here this coming Monday. 👊🏽I am as dumb as I look.
Agreed 😉I am as dumb as I look.
