What to know before buying
Listing details to confirm
The manufacturer describes IP-68 protection up to 2 metres for up to one hour and drop testing at five times MIL-STD-810G 516.6. These are manufacturer claims, not independently verified results. Its materials claims vary between more than 50% and a minimum of 55% recycled plastic, including 25% marine waste. Customer feedback also mentions suitability for iPhone 18 Pro Max despite this listing specifying iPhone 17 Pro Max. Check the exact phone fit and the precise recycled-content claim before buying.

Customer feedback is positive about water resistance and protection, but reports are mixed on quality, durability, fit and practicality. Audio quality and value also draw criticism, including accounts of barely audible sound and a muffled microphone. For buyers considering the built-in screen cover and sealed protection claims, these audio concerns may matter during calls and media use. Overall ratings are divided, so the aggregate does not establish consistent satisfaction or explain individual experiences.

Frequently asked questions
Which iPhone does this case fit?
The listing specifies the iPhone 17 Pro Max. Customer feedback mentions fit on an iPhone 18 Pro Max, but that does not confirm compatibility with that model.
Can I use another screen protector with it?
The case has a built-in screen cover, and the manufacturer recommends not pairing it with an additional screen protector to avoid compromising full functionality.
What water protection does the manufacturer claim?
The manufacturer describes IP-68 testing and protection up to 2 metres for up to one hour. This is a listing claim rather than an independently verified result.
Does it work with MagSafe accessories?
The manufacturer says built-in magnets make the case compatible with MagSafe accessories, which can be attached and removed while the case is on.
