Compatible With
- iPhone 17 Pro
Designed exclusively for iPhone 17 Pro. The Pro Max version is sold separately.
Lay-Flat Corner Design
Raised corner bumpers are precision-engineered to allow your iPhone 17 Pro to lay perfectly flat on any surface — the camera lenses are shielded from direct contact with tables, counters, and outdoor surfaces.
Tactical Camera Control
An integrated glass Camera Control button mirrors the responsiveness of the iPhone's own sensor. Access Pro camera features with native-feeling precision — even in rugged scenarios with gloves on.
Grooved TPU Grip
The TPU bumpers feature a grooved texture for a superior, confident grip in hand. Combined with anodised aluminium buttons for highly tactile, responsive clicks every single time.
MagSafe + Qi2 Ready
Integrated neodymium magnets provide secure, instant connection for all magnetic accessories. Seamlessly compatible with MagSafe and Qi2 charging — the rugged build doesn't compromise the snap.

Frequently Asked Questions
Rugged vs Modern Case?
Modern is the slim daily case (8 ft drop) with smooth satin backplate. Rugged is the heavy-duty version (15 ft drop) with grooved bumpers and lay-flat corner protection. Pick Modern for everyday minimalism; Rugged if you regularly drop your phone or need outdoor/job-site durability.
Rugged vs Rugged Leather — difference?
Rugged uses matte PET on the back. Rugged Leather adds Horween or Nomad leather over the same protective frame. Same drop rating, different aesthetic. Pick Rugged for the all-tactical look; Rugged Leather for tough-meets-refined.
How bulky is it?
Surprisingly slim for a 15 ft drop case. Polycarbonate frame is rigid without being thick, and the grooved TPU bumpers add grip without significant width. It's noticeably more substantial than the Modern Case but not pocket-prohibitive.
Does Camera Control still work?
Yes — the integrated glass Camera Control button transmits all gestures cleanly. Even with gloves, the larger surface area of the Rugged case button makes it easier to press accurately than on a slim case.
How well does MagSafe perform?
Strong. The neodymium magnet array sits at the standard MagSafe position and is tuned for full charging speed. Mounts and chargers snap on firmly through the rugged construction.
15 feet. Lay-flat lenses. Lasting protection.
