Images of a new clear case for the iPhone 17 Pro have been posted.
The clear case for the iPhone 17 Pro posted this time has a rear camera section divided into left and right, and is likely to have better protection than the fully open one.
The rear camera section has a left and right design
The clear case for the iPhone 17 Pro, posted by Majin Bu on X, has two openings: the rear camera part facing the left side, and the LiDAR scanner, LED flash, and microphone hole on the right side.
The design around this rear camera section is not brand new, and it simply eliminates the MagSafe compatible ring from the clear case that Sony Dixon posted on X in February 2025.
Are there two design guidelines provided by Apple?
The other day, Young posted an image of a MagSafe-compatible clear case with the rear camera part open, so there may be two types of Apple’s design guidelines for case manufacturers: one with the rear camera part open and one with the divided one.
The clear case with the rear camera part splits left and right looks complicated, but it seems to have better protection performance in terms of abrasion resistance than the open one.
It is certain that the rear camera section will be getting bigger, so is the only thing left to be highlighted?
There is a high possibility that the rear camera section of the iPhone 17 Pro series will be expanded to the fullest width, and I can’t hear any predictions that it will not be significantly different from the rear camera section of the iPhone 16 Pro series.
There is a difference in opinion on this point: whether the rear camera part is the same color as the main body or has black glass attached, and whether the rear camera part has the same matte finish as the main body or a glossy finish.
