Summary

  • Apple's upcoming iPhone 17 Pro Clear Case may not be fully transparent.
  • The case will reportedly feature a white rounded rectangle at the back for the new MagSafe system.
  • Apple is also expected to release a seasonal "tinted" edition of the Clear case at a later time.

Apple's "Awe dropping" event is just a few days away but rumours about the upcoming iPhone 17 series keep surfacing. The latest one gives a glimpse of what the iPhone 17 Pro's Clear Case will look like. 

Leaker Majin Bu has shared images of what appears to the iPhone 17 Pro's official Apple Clear case, or at least its replicas. The design of the clear case is consistent with the rumours and leaks we've seen about the iPhone 17 Pro's design, featuring a wider rectangular cutout at the top for the upcoming camera system.

An interesting thing to look at from this image is that the Clear case is no longer fully transparent. Instead, most of the back side is covered in a white rounded-rectangular panel, which Bu says is the new MagSafe system. If this is true, this component will replace the open-circle layout of the MagSafe system found on iPhone 16 Pro and earlier models. 

To show what this clear case may look like on an iPhone 17 Pro, the leaker has shared an image of the case applied to a blue-coloured dummy iPhone. This also reaffirms the new position of the Apple logo on the iPhone 17 and its cases, as it's now moved to the lower half of the device's back panel. The logo now centres around the new MagSafe rectangle, instead of the iPhone's geometrical centre.

Bu also added that the clear case will be compatible with the recently-leaked Crossbody Strap accessory. Apple is also expected to release a "tinted" transparent case as part of its "seasonal edition" at a later time. 

With the "Awe dropping" event scheduled for September 9, 2025, we don't have to wait for long to see what the upcoming iPhones and its new accessories are all about. Besides the iPhone 17, Apple is also expected to launch three new Apple Watches and a new AirPods Pro at the event.
