Otterbox Profile series case available for all iPhone 17 models
Rating: 4.4 out of 5 stars
Otterbox has a longstanding reputation for durability and its Profile series offers that same trusted protection in a profile that's less bulky than most Otterbox designs. Available in three colors and all the new iPhone 17 models, including the iPhone Air, this MagSafe case offers three times as many drops as the military standard.
Promising review: "Phenomenal!! Otterbox provides superior protection as always!! I almost didn’t purchase with all the reviews stating it was, “cheap, flimsy and has sharp edges”. Boy were they wrong!! I have small, soft woman hands. With the new IPhone Pro Max 17 I was concerned with the size of the phone and needing a comfortable phone case. This baby fits like a glove in your hand. Just returned from a long road trip to the mountains and a Virginia Tech football game. The case didn’t hurt my hands for a single second- after hours of photos, videos, phone holding for navigation, etc. Plus, when I accidentally dropped my phone from a Coleman chair onto a concrete pad- it didn’t shatter!!! This case is beautiful, popped right into place and worked as any Otterbox should!!" — Miranda Agee

Rating: 4.4 out of 5 stars
If you're still hanging on to your iPhone 15, this option is lauded for its built-in screen protector that some reviewers claim has saved their phone screens from cracking on numerous occasions. Available in several unique and vivid patterns, the Esdot case claims to offer military-grade drop testing from 21 feet, despite its sleek and lightweight design.
Promising review: "It is so hard to find pretty phone cases that actually protect your phone. I love the colors on this one and especially the fact that it provides safety where it’s needed. I drop my phone from time to time and I like my phone's corners to be covered with a raised edge as well. This case has saved my screen from being cracked on numerous occasions. I have the gouges on my case to prove it. I wish there were more adult-designed cases like this." — Analyticallyme

Earlier versions of this case made for older iPhone models had the best reviews we've seen when it comes to durability, which is why we're recommending the latest design for newer iPhones, such as all of the 17 iterations.

Use this safely underwater for up to 10 feet for up to an hour.

I've had my share of drops and not once did my iPhone or screen break. Yes, it does wireless charging through this case... unless you use a metal plate for magnet mount." — Takbo

One promising review: "I’ve become addicted to this magnet feature. I’ve searched and searched for any other case that comes close, and none do. This magnetic case is STRONG. I stick this to my fridge, washing machine, car - anywhere that I need to set the phone down and not lose it. PLUS, I’m insanely clumsy and this case holds up to my constant shenanigans. I liken it to Otterbox. But with a very useful magnet." — Violet Ranger
