I researched over 50 cases and checked their verified long-term user reviews on Amazon and Reddit to find the best clear cases for iPhone 17 Pro Max.
Initially I thought finding a case would be a 10-minute task and not a big deal, but wait. It turned out I had to spend hours to actually get what I wanted. I had looked for MagSafe magnet strength, yellow resistance, button quality and tactility, grip while holding, and so on.
After reviewing every single detail of these cases, me and my co-editor Juaria Moon came up with this ultra-researched top 5 list of the best MagSafe clear cases for iPhone 17 Pro Max.
Apple Clear Case for iPhone 17 Pro Max
Our research shows one specific reason that made it stand out from the rest — Apple actually optimized it for the iPhone 17 Pro Max’s MagSafe and camera control system.
On the official website, we can see how much effort they put into this simple yet reliable clear case. One of the most impressive designs of this case is that Apple has included a responsive switch to operate the camera without tapping the screen. It is not common for other companies to include such a feature in clear cases such as this one. But Apple did a great job here.
Thousands of users are commenting on one particular thing that really stands out — the fact that this case works really well with Apple’s ecosystem. That’s because it aligns perfectly with MagSafe wallets, battery packs, stands, and so on. This case is extremely reliable and a fan favorite.
One user on Reddit commented saying:
“Didn’t expect to care about the camera control button until I used it. Now I can’t switch to any other case.”
Another user on Amazon commented saying:
“Although expensive for a case, I find the investment worth it. Stylish and well-made with great functionality. I would buy again.”
I must point out the fact that if you are expecting heavy protection from this case, you will be disappointed. That’s because it’s a simple clear case. It will protect your phone up to some extent but will not match the protection capability that dedicated protective cases provide.
CASEKOO Clear Case for iPhone 17 Pro Max
This earns the second position in our list because if you are looking for features that match with Apple but don’t have the price tag, then this case is just for you.
The reason why this case from CASEKOO gets so much love and attention is because it has a smooth clear back. The back of this case is not just transparent, but also glossy and crystal clear, letting your iPhone shine through.
On the official website of CASEKOO, it is stated that they use high-grade Bayer TPU blend with an anti-oxidation coating. It ensures that this case will not turn yellow no matter how much you use it. This case is also MIL-STD certified for durability and strong drop protection with U-SHOCK corners.
Verified feedback from Amazon stated that when they first put this case on, the grip felt premium instead of rubbery and slippery like most other simple clear cases would feel. Even though it’s a non-Apple brand, the MagSafe of this case will surprise you.
One YouTube video shows that when you accidentally bump it, it doesn’t yank your phone off a charger. Your wallet and accessories will stay aligned consistently more than most other simple clear cases on the market.
One user on Amazon commented saying:
“Very good quality of the case, the material on the sides is pleasant to the touch and super fit to the size of the phone. Blue color also makes pleasant impressions.”
Again, this case will not protect your phone all the way. No clear case is meant to protect your phone like ride-or-die. If you are someone who wants a clear look on your phone with reliable anti-yellowing clarity, then this case is just for you.
Spigen Clear Case for iPhone 17 Pro Max
While looking for what can be the next best thing that will complement the iPhone and save your budget at the same time, we stumbled upon this clear case — Spigen Ultra Hybrid MagFit. Even though it is a clear case, you can really tell that the company has put a lot of effort into making it special.
One reviewer from Amazon noted:
“It adds about 40 grams, which is lighter than most clear protective cases. Decent strength, decent protection — a very safe pick.”
A YouTuber named MobileReviewsEh tested it and stated some amazing numbers that blew my mind. He stated that this case:
• Adds 40g, making it lighter than most protective cases
• Around 54% bulk — average for hybrid cases
• Protection strength rated 37% above average
• Corner-drop performance is 5% better than average
This is why I prefer this clear case from Spigen. It might not be as flashy as other clear cases on this list, but this case is above average in every field. This case will provide you clarity and MagSafe at a very affordable price.
TORRAS Crystal Clear Case for iPhone 17 Pro Max
While I came across this case, I found it delivered what it is supposed to do as a clear iPhone case, which is protecting the phone against accidents while being visually stunning. Let’s talk about what the official website says:
TORRAS has stated that they use high-grade Bayer TPU and a PC backbone with 12ft military-grade drop protection.
A user on Reddit noted:
“The clarity is insane. Looks like a naked phone but feels safer. Great grip and buttons work perfectly.”
Even though this case provides a lot of protection in everyday usage, you have to note the fact that it will not match hardcore drop-proof cases on the market. It also doesn’t have the beefiest corners or bumpers. This case is for people who want a lightweight, MagSafe-compatible clear case for their iPhone 17 Pro Max, highlighting its visual luxury.
FNTCASE Clear Case for iPhone 17 Pro Max
The reason why the FNTCASE clear case got a place in my shortlist is because it has slim clarity, solid protection, and reliable MagSafe grip. At this price range, other cases can’t match the FNTCASE clear case.
At first, I thought it was just another normal clear case. But the more I researched about it, the more this case surprised me. That’s why I put some serious attention to it and it ended up in this list of 5 best clear cases for iPhone 17 Pro Max.
The official website of FNTCASE states that this case is extremely strong with a 2400 gf MagSafe lock with 38 N52 magnets. It also has solid 10ft drop protection with built-in airbags. One of the most impressive features about this case is that it supports MagSafe with Qi charging seamlessly.
One user on Reddit noted:
“Fantastic, thick plastic but it fits the phone perfectly and looks so good!”
Not to mention, there are some drawbacks like it is a little thicker than other clear cases and lacks a camera button. But overall, it is a top-tier magnetic clear case.
