iPhone 17 Accessories

Mitchel Broussard:

Apple today announced the newest generation of iPhone with the iPhone Air, iPhone 17, and iPhone 17 Pro. Alongside these devices, there’s a bunch of new compatible accessories, including TechWoven Cases, Clear Cases, Crossbody Straps, and Silicone Cases, all of which we’re recapping below.

Dan Moren:

There were no doubt some shouts of joy when Apple mentioned it had a new version of its MagSafe Battery, but if you want one of those to boost your phone’s longevity, be aware: it’s an iPhone Air exclusive.

I got Apple’s TechWoven case for the 17 Pro Max.

  • Immediately feels much nicer and more premium than FineWoven
  • iOS 26 doesn’t recognize it, but the 16 Pro Max fits inside it and all the buttons work 😅

This case excels in a few ways[…]

Coincidentally, my only real issue with this case is the texture. The back has a rough fabric feel and even the sides are all a bit rough, there’s no smooth part of this case. I’m getting more used to this over the few days I’ve had it, but I wouldn’t say I love it. it feels a bit like polyester to me, and I don’t mean that as a compliment. It’s not terrible by any means, and I’m sure other people will enjoy this, but it’s just not my favorite.

For what it’s worth, I dug my iPhone 15 pro’s FineWoven case out of the drawer and held it again. Woof, it’s just as bad as I remember. The sides feel cheap, while the back feels unpleasant and cheap. It’s fine (heh) if you dig it, but it really ain’t for me. TechWoven is a step in the right direction.

Simon B. Støvring:

The buttons on the TechWoven case are the best buttons on a case I’ve ever tried. They’re similar to those on the official leather cases that I’ve used for years, but they feel slightly more tactile.

Generally, the TechWoven case feels like a pretty solid replacement for the leather case. It has a similar warm and soft feel that the leather has.
