The iPhone 17 Hasn't Been Announced Yet, but There's Already a Case for It
One of the first cases for the iPhone 17" target="_blank has made its appearance. Canadian tech accessory company Dbrand announced its Tank Case for the iPhone 17 is set to go on sale in September, the same month we're expecting Apple to announce the eagerly awaited iPhone 17. While we don't know the price of the Tank Case yet, Dbrand has certainly made some striking design choices in the hard black shell case, including plenty of number codes, the Freemason Eye of Providence in what looks like a center designed for MagSafe connections and what appears to be Braille. Dbrand is light on details for now, but you can sign up with your email address to get notifications about the case. A representative for Dbrand did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Patrick Holland, CNET managing editor and mobile guru, cautions that these early-announced phone designs don't always end up making it to the release date. Holland saw that happen just last year, when some manufacturers were forced to push quick redesigns to make room for the iPhone 16's surprise camera control button. "It's become a yearly tradition," Holland said. "We see companies try to be the first out with a new case design for the latest iPhone, even though the phone hasn't been announced by Apple." "For Dbrand, it's unclear whether the Tank case is designed based on rumors, or if the company got an early look at the iPhone 17 series, or were given a dummy model," Holland said. "The case does feature a full body width camera bump that has been heavily leaked for the iPhone 17 Pro and 17 Pro Max. There's one thing that's for certain: Dbrand's Tank case looks chunky and busy, especially for a sleek new iPhone." That's why we're also keeping a close eye on all the latest reports of iPhone 17 features, including rumors of a redesigned camera bump and a movable lens that could throw a curveball for third-party cases like this. Social media buzz Commenters on X shared a variety of opinions about the case. While one person wrote, "that case looks fire," another wrote, "that case looks hideous." Commenters also wondered if the case design was revealing some previously unknown details about the iPhone 17. "So the second button is basically confirmed?" one X commenter wrote. "Why would the case sport an area that looks pressable or 'slideable' otherwise?" Another wrote, "Am I seeing that correctly? Three cameras on a base iPhone model finally." Others zeroed in on the idea that Apple likely does not want case manufacturers to reveal details about a phone before the company announces it, noting that Dbrand also unveiled a case for the Nintendo Switch 2 before that console came out. "First the Switch 2, now the iPhone 17," the one commenter wrote. "Yeahh, they're never getting shit early to make cases anymore."

iPhone 17 Pro rear camera module design revealed by dbrand
Apple's iPhone 17 lineup is expected to launch next month. While we wait for Apple to officially confirm the September 9 announcement, case maker dbrand has gone ahead and revealed the design of the iPhone 17 Pro in the images of its new case. The iPhone 17 Pro and 17 Pro Max are getting a new rear camera module design. We've seen plenty of leaked renders of the new design, but with case makers getting exact dimensions in advance it's good to get some extra assurance. Now dbrand listed images of its upcoming Tank case for the iPhone 17 Pro, showcasing the design of the new iPhone. The case appears bulky and doesn't give away fine design details, but those aren't available to case makers anyway. It does show a raised portion at the top around the camera, clearly confirming the new island. The Camera Control button, Action button, Power, and volume buttons are also visible. The Tank case from dbrand will be available for the iPhone 17 series in September. Apple iPhone 16 Pro Apple is expected to unveil the iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Air, iPhone 17 Pro, and the 17 Pro Max on September 9. Source

You need to see this – iPhone 17 Pro redesign leaks are real and dbrand just confirmed them
Oh well, oh well... it seems that the leaks about the rather peculiar redesign of the iPhone 17 Pro may have been actually right. We've had lots of leaks about the new look, but I still refused to believe it. Now, dbrand, a reputable case brand, seems to confirm the new design by pre-announcing its iPhone 17 Pro Tank Case. And things got iPhone 17 event may happen on September 9, and it's now coming closer and closer. Now, case maker dbrand has gone ahead and revealed its Tank Case, which shows Apple's new 'camera bar' design. The Tank Case is also quite unique and includes some changes from dbrand's usual style of sleek cases and detailed decals. The Tank Case definitely exudes a more badass vibe. dbrand's limited edition cases are always unique, and this one has a rugged look and a decorative MagSafe area with an Illuminati twist. The renders of the case show the Action button, Camera Control, and all the usual expected features of the iPhone 17 Pro. Of course, the raised portion at the top with the cameras, flash, LiDAR, and light sensor stands out. The rumored earlier design with a huge top part dedicated to the camera island (some refer to it as a 'camera bar', like Google Pixel's) is corroborated by this case. It's usual that before the launch event, case makers are provided details, either by Apple or supply chain sources, so it's now becoming as real as it ever was: probably, that would be the design of the new iPhone. The Tank Case will be available exclusively for the iPhone 17 Air, iPhone 17 Pro, and Pro Max. Apparently, the 'normal-looking' base iPhone 17 , which is said to keep the same look as usual iPhones, may not be graced with a Tank Case. The iPhone 17 lineup is expected to be unveiled on September 9, and it's likely that pre-orders start on September 12. General availability is expected to start on September 19. I'm not a huge fan of the redesign of the iPhone 17 Pro, to be quite frank. The camera bar seems to be needlessly big. Of course, we can't judge exactly how the iPhone will look under the case, so hopefully some of Apple's usual premium-ness would be showing there.
