Apple’s New Clear Case for iPhone 17 Pro — Partially Transparent Design Revealed
Recent leaks show Apple’s upcoming Clear Case for the iPhone 17 Pro moves away from fully transparent designs. Early images and hands-on reports reveal a partially transparent case with a large white panel covering most of the back, including the MagSafe area. The result: a case that still supports MagSafe but reveals less of the phone’s original finish.
Key features
- Partially transparent design with a prominent white/opaque back panel
- Supports MagSafe charging
- Compatible with the new Camera Control button
- Works with Apple’s Crossbody Strap accessory
- May come in seasonal tints rather than fully clear versions
How it differs from older Clear Cases
- Older Clear Cases were mostly fully transparent; the new design hides more of the phone behind a white panel.
- Updated fit to accommodate the iPhone 17 Pro’s larger rectangular camera bar.
- Lower-positioned Apple logo is integrated into the case design.
Availability
Apple usually releases official cases alongside new iPhone models. At the time of writing, Apple has not published an official store listing; expect availability around the iPhone 17 launch.
