Peak Design GNAR Case for iPhone 17 Pro Max (Kelp)

All the protection, ruggedness, and connect-ability that you could ever want from a phone case, yet with a clean and refined aesthetic, the iPhone 17 GNAR case is among our first generation of cases to be Fair Trade Certified. Designed for those individuals who are 'down to clown' but don't want to look like one, GNAR Case is ideal for motorcycling, mountain biking, and the security-loving 'belt-and-suspenders' types. Compared to the Everyday Case, it has a bit more padding—3.2mm thick (vs. 2.4mm), 4.4mm TPU bumper (vs. 3.4mm), raised camera bezel—yet retains a flat, slim profile that feels svelte in your hand and your pocket. A lightweight recycled polycarbonate body features a smooth scratch-and-stain-resistant finish that's easy to clean. A diamond-knurled edge texture and extra-wide machined/anodized aluminum buttons make GNAR Case easy to handle, even with gloves on. A soft Clarino™ microfiber internal liner keeps your phone pristine, and a removeable USB-C port plug prevents dirt and water ingress in outdoor environments. And of course, it contains our brilliant magnetic/mechanical SlimLink™ locking system for instant connection to all Peak Design Mobile mounts, chargers, and accessories. We designed GNAR Case for ultra reliable lightning-fast wireless charging, which can be an issue with some thicker 3rd party cases. It even works with Apple MagSafe chargers and accessories, however compatibility with all 3rd party chargers is not guaranteed.

The rugged phone case market is full of needlessly chonky and aggro-styled specimens, each screaming to the world how tough they are. Peak Design hears those desperate screams, and GNAR Case is our answer. What does the GNAR acronym stand for? Go Nuts And Ride? Get Naked And Roll? We hope to find out ourselves, someday.
