ESR iPhone 17 Cases: Four Colors and a Camera-Area Stand

Fitting the cases to the Pro Max and trying the support in different orientations.

Article published November 3, 2026.

The stand is the part that makes me stop and turn these cases around. It folds out from the camera area, so the case gives me a way to prop up the phone without carrying a separate support.

ESR sent four colors from its hybrid magnetic case line. I fit them to an iPhone 17 Pro Max and try the look and the stand during the unboxing.

Black, orange, clear and blue

I start with black, then work through orange, clear silver and dark blue. Switching the cases on the phone makes the color differences more useful than looking at empty shells.

The clear version lets the phone's finish show through. The blue one changes the look of the white phone I use in that part of the recording, which is a fun detail to see in person.

Open the stand without forcing it

I open the camera-area support and try holding the phone in different orientations. There is a stated opening limit on the packaging, so this is a mechanism to use within its supplied instructions rather than bend until it stops.

I like having that support built into the case. I do not run a drop test, measure magnetic retention or test charging efficiency in this session.

Another approach to the phone case

My Crave case first look tries a different design and a magnetic mount. Here, I am concentrating on the four finishes and ESR's folding stand.

The original title and description mention a wider accessory lineup, but this recording is the case walkthrough. I have preserved the description's actual links below; it does not contain a separate purchase URL for these cases.
