How to deal with iPhone 17 and ‘scratchgate’
The new iPhone 17 series is getting rave reviews. But there’s seemingly a fly in the soup — some of the models seem unusually prone to getting scratched, especially the ones with darker colored finishes.
The typical response on social media is “Put your iPhone in a case!” That’s always good advice. And Amazon makes it easier by knocking unto 26% off all the just-launched cases for the full iPhone 17 series.

Apple iPhone Air Bumper Case
Apple brought its classic Bumper case back just for the iPhone 17 Air. It offers protection for the slim handset with the minimal amount of extra bulk. Most of the case is clear to show off the handset’s color, but the sides and edges get extra protection. Amazon knocked 26% off the price.

Designed exclusively for the new iPhone Air, this is a throwback to the iPhone 4's bumper case. It protects the super-slim phone's edges while showcasing its back glass.

Apple Clear Case
Users of the iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max (and the base-model iPhone 17, too) who are concerned about scratches can turn to an Apple Clear Case. This blend of clear polycarbonate and flexible materials protects the valuable handset without bulking it up. And it really is clear to allow the world to see the color of your iPhone.
You can save between 18% and 22%, depending on the model. Tap the link below to see the full range of options.

- Built-in magnets for optimal MagSafe functionality.
- More expensive than some similar-looking competitors.
Apple Silicone Case
The Apple Silicone Case is a great way to change the color of your iPhone 17 series model while also adding a layer of protection.

The deal drops the price by as much as 32%, depending on the model.

- Can get gouged up if you're not careful.
Apple TechWoven Case: Sold out
The iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max are the debut of TechWoven, Apple’s new case material made from 100% recycled polyester. “Multiple colored yarns are woven together on a Jacquard loom creating a dimensional texture with a rich depth of color,” says Apple. “The sides of the case are coated with a lightly textured TPU for better grip.” Cases come in a range of colors — when they are available. Which isn’t now. TechWoven cases are backordered and definitely not available at a discount.
