iPhone 17 Pro case leak: The latest leak around the iPhone 17 Pro case offers a fresh glimpse into Apple’s upcoming design, but it also dashes some hopes fans were holding onto, as per a report.

Leak Reveals First Look at iPhone 17 Pro Case Design

With the iPhone 17 launch just around the corner, rumors have been swirling non-stop. This time, leaker Duan Rui shared an image of what’s said to be the actual case design for the iPhone 17 Pro on social media platform X, according to the BGR report.

One of the standout features in this leak is the presence of two lanyard holes at the bottom of the case , a first for iPhone accessories, according to the BGR report. This could mean Apple is finally acknowledging users who want to wear their phones around their necks as Apple might finally be offering its own lanyard for the iPhone, as per the report.

Other than that, the case sticks to what Apple fans know and love, no new buttons on top, with the Action Button, volume controls, Side Button, and Camera Control all in their expected places, according to the report. The camera bar, meanwhile, shows a large cutout on the case, reinforcing the prominent camera design seen in earlier leaks, as per the BGR report.

MagSafe Placement Still a Mystery

One big question remains unanswered as the leak doesn’t show the MagSafe connector’s placement, despite previous rumors that Apple might move it around, as reported by BGR. For now, it looks like that part of the design will stay the same, according to the report.

iPhone 17 Pro Case Materials

Fans can also expect the new iPhone 17 Pro cases to come in a variety of materials, including silicone, clear, and plastic options from Beats, but it is not known if the company will try out a different material such as vegan-leather after the FineWoven fiasco, as per the BGR report.
