iPhone 17 Pro TechWoven Case (Purple, 2025)

The TechWoven Case was introduced in September 2025 along with the iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max. Apple described the new material: “The TechWoven Case has a new technical woven fabric that uses multiple colored yarns, creating a dimensional texture and rich depth of color, while a protective coating provides resistance to scratches and stains.”

This TechWoven material was described by some reviewers as a replacement to FineWoven, the material Apple released in 2023 to replace its leather accessories when the company removed the material from its offerings as part of its carbon neutral “Apple 2030 climate goal.” FineWoven was generally regarded by many reviewers as unsuccessful and TechWoven was referred to as the replacement of the replacement with headlines such as “Apple Seeks to Repent for FineWoven Fail With New TechWoven Cases” and bylines that included, “Apple’s TechWoven case is cloth and, more importantly, not the old FineWoven mess.”

Apple described the iPhone 17 Pro TechWoven Case as offering “beautiful personalization and protection for your iPhone 17 Pro.” They noted:

“This case is made from a custom technical woven fabric, made from 100 percent recycled polyester. Multiple colored yarns are woven together on a Jacquard loom creating a dimensional texture with a rich depth of color. The sides of the case are coated with a lightly textured TPU for better grip. The refined anodized aluminum buttons provide precise and responsive feedback.”

This case also featured two connection points so it could be securely attached to the Crossbody Strap that was introduced at the same time as this case.

The iPhone 17 Pro TechWoven Case had “built-in magnets that align perfectly with iPhone 17 Pro” and offered a “magical attach experience and faster wireless charging.” This example is purple.

iPhone 17 Pro Silicone Case (Black, 2025)

The iPhone 17 Pro Silicone Case was “Designed by Apple to complement iPhone 17 Pro, the Silicone Case with MagSafe is a delightful way to protect your iPhone.” This case also featured a conductive layer to communicate finger movements to the Camera Control button under the volume buttons.

Unlike previous Silicone case models, this one featured two connection points so it could be securely attached to the Crossbody Strap that was introduced at the same time as this case and the iPhone 17 Pro.

Apple also noted that the case was “Made with a 45 percent recycled silicone material” and “has a silky, soft-touch finish on the exterior that feels great in your hand. And on the inside, there’s a soft microfiber lining for even more protection.”

The case also included MagSafe magnets that extended the functionality of MagSafe built into the iPhone through the case. Apple described the charging functionality:

“With built-in magnets that align perfectly with iPhone 17 Pro Max, this case offers a magical attach experience and faster wireless charging, every time. When it’s time to charge, just leave the case on your iPhone and snap on your MagSafe charger, or set it on your Qi2 25W or Qi-certified charger.”

This case was originally offered in six colors. This example is black.

Beats iPhone 17 Pro Case with MagSafe & Camera Control (Granite Gray, 2025)

This is a somewhat rare example in my collection of a Beats accessory. Beats has been owned by Apple since 2014 as “a leading audio brand founded in 2006 by Dr. Dre and Jimmy Iovine” that primarily sells “premium consumer headphones, earphones, and speakers,” and now—for some reason—iPhone cases that have nothing to do with audio.

Because Beats is owned by Apple, it is no surprise that the cases feature Apple-specific features such as MagSafe and Camera Control (although third-party accessories also include these features).

Somewhat unusually, the Apple and Beats websites describe this product differently. Apple followed a format closer to its other case products with descriptions such as:

“The strong polycarbonate back is complemented by flexible sidewalls to optimize shock absorption, while making the case thin and light. The outer matte finish reduces signs of scratches, smudges, and fingerprints, and the inner microfiber lining gently reduces surface scratches and abrasion.”

Apple also noted that “undergone thousands of hours of testing throughout the design and manufacturing process,” a statement similar to the durability statement on Apple-branded cases.

Apple listed highlights as:

  • Durable double-shot design
  • Strong hardshell back
  • Shock-absorbing sidewalls
  • Soft microfiber lining
  • Matte finish
  • Compatible with MagSafe and Camera Control

On the other hand, the Beats website described the case primarily through videos, pictures, and short text snippets. For example, the text “Scratch & drop protection. Strong hardshell back with shock-absorbing sidewalls,” and a looping 5-second video showing its durability. 11 photos were included on the Beats website, while Apple only featured 6.

This case was offered in four colors: Bedrock Blue, Lime Stone, Pebble Pink, and the color of this example, Granite Gray.

Beats iPhone 17 Pro Kickstand Case with MagSafe & Camera Control (Granite Gray, 2025)

Somewhat unusually, the Apple and Beats websites describe this product differently. Apple followed a format closer to its other case products with descriptions such as:

“Built to protect your iPhone from scratches and drops, this case also features a convenient, removable lanyard that doubles as a kickstand for hands-free landscape viewing. To create the kickstand, an adapter at the end of the lanyard slides open and attaches to a magnetic point on the side of the case.”

Apple also noted that “The Beats iPhone 17 Pro Kickstand Case with MagSafe and Camera Control has undergone thousands of hours of testing throughout the design and manufacturing process,” a statement similar to Apple-branded cases.

Apple described the case: “The strong polycarbonate back, which is complemented by flexible sidewalls to optimize shock absorption, makes the case thin and light. The outer matte finish reduces signs of scratches, smudges, and fingerprints, while the interior microfiber lining gently reduces surface scratches and abrasion.

On the other hand, the Beats website described the case primarily through videos, pictures, and short text snippets. For example, the kickstand featured the text “Quick stand. The removable lanyard easily converts to a kickstand for hands-free landscape viewing,” and included a looping 5-second video showing the kickstand feature. 11 photos were included on the Beats website, while Apple only featured 6.

This case was offered in four colors: Bedrock Blue, Lime Stone, Pebble Pink, and the color of this example, Granite Gray.
