This Gorilla Cases aluminum metal case takes a different approach: a genuine aluminum alloy frame wrapped around a rigid polycarbonate backboard, in a 2-in-1 design that snaps together around your phone like a vault door. It keeps the slim, machined look that made you buy a Pro Max in the first place, adds a built-in magnetic ring that locks straight onto MagSafe chargers and mounts, and stands guard with military-grade shockproof protection rated for 10 ft (3 m) drops. Eight finishes, one phone model, zero compromises. This case is built exclusively for the 6.9-inch iPhone 17 Pro Max — and it shows in every cutout.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e10 Key Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAluminum metal frame\u003c\/strong\u003e — a real metal exoskeleton, not metallic-painted plastic, spreading impact force across the whole chassis.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e2-in-1 frame + PC backboard design\u003c\/strong\u003e — the rigid polycarbonate back panel snaps into the aluminum bumper for full-body coverage.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMagSafe-compatible magnetic ring\u003c\/strong\u003e — built-in magnets align with Apple's MagSafe array for chargers, wallets, and car mounts.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMilitary-grade drop protection\u003c\/strong\u003e — shockproof construction engineered to MIL-STD-810G-class standards for 10 ft (3 m) falls.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCamera guard lens frame\u003c\/strong\u003e — a raised ring shields the 17 Pro Max's triple-lens plateau from table scrapes and gravel.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRaised screen edges\u003c\/strong\u003e — front lip keeps the display off the surface when the phone lands face-down.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSlim-fit profile\u003c\/strong\u003e — adds roughly 2.2 mm of thickness, so it still slides into a jeans pocket.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLightweight build\u003c\/strong\u003e — approximately 1.9 oz (55 g), far lighter than full metal armor cases.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePrecise cutouts\u003c\/strong\u003e — USB-C, speakers, Action Button, and Camera Control stay fully usable.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEight finishes\u003c\/strong\u003e — Orange, Black, Desert Gold, Navy Blue, Silver, Blue, Gold, and Purple.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eMaterials \u0026amp; Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe bumper frame is aluminum alloy, chosen for its strength-to-weight ratio and the cold, machined feel polymer cases can't fake. The backboard is hard polycarbonate (PC) with an inner silicone-lined contact surface that cushions the chassis and prevents scratching. The complete case weighs approximately 1.9 oz (55 g) and adds about 2.2 mm of thickness to the iPhone 17 Pro Max's 6.9-inch body — slim enough for MagSafe accessories to snap on with full strength. The magnetic ring is embedded beneath the PC back panel, so Qi and MagSafe wireless charging pass through without removing the case. Fitment is exclusive to the Apple iPhone 17 Pro Max (UPC 727152696799).

First, clean your iPhone 17 Pro Max with a microfiber cloth so no grit gets trapped under the case. Second, seat the top of the phone into the upper aluminum frame, aligning the camera plateau with the lens guard ring. Third, lower the bottom of the phone into the frame until the corners sit flush. Fourth, snap the PC backboard onto the rear of the frame, pressing from the center outward until you hear each edge click. Finally, run your finger around the perimeter — the case should sit perfectly flush with zero rocking, and all buttons should click cleanly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTroubleshooting\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBackboard won't seat flush:\u003c\/strong\u003e remove it, check for pocket lint along the frame channel, and re-snap from the center outward. \u003cstrong\u003eMagSafe grip feels weak:\u003c\/strong\u003e confirm the back panel is fully clicked in — a 1 mm gap between panel and phone noticeably reduces magnetic pull. \u003cstrong\u003eButtons feel stiff after installation:\u003c\/strong\u003e press each button five or six times to break in the contact points. \u003cstrong\u003eCase creaks when gripped:\u003c\/strong\u003e reseat the backboard; creaking almost always means one edge clip isn't engaged. \u003cstrong\u003eWireless charging is slow:\u003c\/strong\u003e remove metal cardholders or accessories from the back — the case itself passes Qi and MagSafe power, but added metal between coil and charger will throttle it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e1.

Does Qi wireless charging work through the case?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes. The PC backboard passes Qi and MagSafe charging at up to 15 W; only the aluminum frame is metal, and it sits outside the charging coil zone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e4.

Is the frame real metal?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, the bumper is genuine aluminum alloy.

Does it protect the cameras?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes.
