TORRAS for iPhone 17 Pro Max Case with MagSafe : Review

You will have without doubt noticed TORRAS cases this year, they seem to be sponsoring all of YouTube!

The offering that you will have seen over most of the big Tech Reviewers is their TORRAS OStand Q3 Air model. This is their top of the range case that offers huge drop figure protection numbers as well as an integrated ring that doubles as a holder and stand. You can set the phone in any number of orientations and angles for your viewing pleasure…

However that is not the case I bought.

The OStand Q3 Air is very pricey at £55.99 GBP, I just could not justify the cost on a brand I have not yet tried. At that price point they are directly competing with the likes of Nomad (which has been my case of choice for the last 2 years with my iPhone 15 Pro Max) and Mous, a previous and uncontested favourite of mine, since replaced by a Nomad.

So I opted for one of their mid level cases, the TORRAS for iPhone 17 Pro Max Case with MagSafe which was priced at £23.99 GBP. For similar reasons to my purchase of the ESR Hybrid Magnetic Case, mainly that it was readily available for delivery prior to the launch of the new iPhone and it is absolutely necessary to have a case for your new phone, only sociopaths use their phone without a case! /s

As you would expect with Amazon the case arrived promptly and my initial impressions were indeed very positive. The packing is as you would expect, it’s a box, it ensures the case arrives protected, and the case itself is wrapped in a soft touch branded bag. The pleasant surprise was the pack of buttons which allow you to add a little bit of customisation and personality to the case. It is simply a press out and replace process to add a little colour pop to your case.

ESR Hybrid Magnetic Case iPhone 17 Pro Max

The ESR Hybrid Magnetic Case for the iPhone 17 Pro Max is one of the entry level cases available from ESR for the new 2025 iPhone range.

In fact the Hybrid Magnetic case is the cheapest in the range, at £11.99 at Amazon with an RRP of £12.99.

It was also the first case I purchased for my iPhone 17 Pro Max, and that was for two reasons.

  1. As is now common place from ESR, they always have their products ready to go for launch. That’s important, and commendable in its own right. You buy a new phone, you want a case for it and ESR are always ready for launch day, so no waiting, no expected shipping, just a case that is ready when you phone arrives.
  2. It offers full camera bump protection. The new iPhone 17s come with a radically new camera bump design, and until we see how things go with new design I opted for maximum protection of the hump, however, in protecting that hump you must be sure there is nothing to interfere with with those gorgeous new 3 x 48 megapixel image shooters on your new device. That is why I opted for this, maximum protection for the hump, and minimal outlay should it interfere. (Spoiler – it doesn’t, at all).
