❓ iPhone 17 Case FAQs
Will iPhone 16 cases fit the iPhone 17?
No. The iPhone 17 has different dimensions and button placements. Always buy cases specifically designed for iPhone 17.
Do magnetic cases affect wireless charging?
Only if they’re not MagSafe-certified. Proper MagSafe cases have built-in magnets that align perfectly with chargers.
How much should I spend on an iPhone 17 case?
In Malaysia, quality cases range from RM50-RM200. Custom cases typically cost RM80-RM150. Don’t go too cheap — a RM20 case won’t protect your RM4,000+ phone.
Are customized cases as protective?
Yes! At GALADO, we use the same protective base cases for custom prints. The customization doesn’t compromise protection.
