FAQs

Does the iPhone 17 Pro need a case?

Even the best phones aren't completely immune to damage from drops and scratches that come with daily use, so we recommend getting a case for the iPhone 17 Pro. Investing in a good case can help protect your phone and keep it in better condition for longer, which can also help you score a better trade-in deal the next time you want to upgrade.

What should I look for in an iPhone 17 Pro case?

The best iPhone 17 Pro case will look different for everyone based on preferences and budget. If you use a wireless charger, mount, or other magnetized accessory, you'll want a MagSafe-compatible option, for instance.

If you like your phone to double as a wallet, you can also look for options with built-in wallets or straps. Some cases also feature a kickstand, which can be useful for hands-free video calling or watching your favorite shows.

Where do I buy the iPhone 17 Pro?

The iPhone 17 Pro is available to order at Apple and most major mobile carriers, including T-Mobile, AT&T, and Verizon. You can head to the vendor of your choice to select your storage capacity and color preferences and order the phone. Depending on where you buy the phone, you can also score a deal by trading in your old device, which you can learn more about in our guide.

Will an iPhone 16 Pro case fit the iPhone 17 Pro?

The dimensions of the iPhone 17 Pro and its predecessor, the iPhone 16 Pro, are very similar. That said, key design differences mean an iPhone 16 Pro case will not fit the iPhone 17 Pro. This is largely due to the 17 Pro's upgraded camera bar, which extends across the whole top edge of the phone instead of being confined to one corner.
