I'm looking to get a thin (as possible) case for an iPhone 17. I assume the current iPhone 16 case manufacturers will provide similar for 17 as for 16.

 

So any recommendations appreciated.

 

I quite like the look of a Bellroy leather case, not sure if thin enough or if leather looks/feels/wears ok - so any Bellroy owners out there?

 

Thanks in advance

Have had the Bellroy leather cases for a while now and they are nice.
Just received my iPhone 17 Pro one from Bellroy yesterday in Blue leather - slim as expected and good fit.

 

They wear well. Very similar to the Nomad cases which I have also had for a very long while and recommend. Nomad ones are slightly more bulky though.

 

Actual photo of the Bellroy iPhone 17 Pro case as opposed to the marketing ones. They also have a new non-leather verison. This is the leather verison.

Post just to follow.

I've picked up a basic otterbox case and screen protector but it's pretty average.

I really like the Caudabe cases - https://caudabe.com/pages/iphone-17-collection 

 

I had one on my iPhone 15 Pro Max and ordered another for my iPhone 17.

Thanks for this. Have ordered the rust leather option.
