Smartish® iPhone 15 Pro Protective Magnetic Case - Gripzilla Compatible with MagSafe [Rugged + Tough] Heavy Duty Grip Armored Cover w/Drop Tested Protection for Apple iPhone 15 Pro - Black Tie Affair

I can already tell you this new 17 pro max case is worth your purchase! It is the same quality if not better than before. I won’t buy another brands case. I might just a buy a few of these in more prints! The edges are perfect to protect the new screen design of the 17. It also has the raised rim for the camera and sensor area. The transparent design nicely showcases the color of the phone. It fits perfectly and is easy to hold. The camera button and other buttons are easy to use. I cannot recommend this case enough. The case for my 13 pro max tells you everything you need to know. The galaxy print gripzilla case is 4 years old. It’s the original case I bought for the 13 and I never had to replace it or my phone. Even have the original screen protector. I have very poor coordination and am horribly accident prone. Trust me that phone has met the ground many times from various heights and situations. Several times I thought it was for sure the end and it dusted right off. Case didn’t even show wear until the last year or so where the MagSafe ring is. I’ve used a MagSafe pop socket and charger since the beginning. If you’ve read this far, take this as your sign and order the case!

Possibly the best case I have ever had. Says a lot because I have gone through a lot of cases. I have had it about a month and it has been dropped, stepped on, and generally abused. A few scratches on the back, but with the clear case, it is expected. Especially what I have put it through already. It fits great in my hand and with the rough texture it is easy to keep your grip. Case looks great and fits perfectly with the screen protector and the camera cover I use on it. Buttons work great and are sensitive enough but not so loose they look like they will wear out over the next six months. Great case.

This is the perfect case. It’s sturdy and protective; yet it’s lightweight. I especially like the finger indentations on the right side to aid the grip in the right hand. I had used an Otter box case with my previous iPhone. This is lighter, easier to install, and the protection is comparable.

A Loyalty That Paid Off: When I upgraded from my iPhone 14 Pro Max to the new 17 Pro Max, I briefly considered other cases but ultimately came back to the Smartish Gripzilla - and I'm glad I did. The previous version was, by far, the best phone case I've ever owned, lasting years without compromise, and this new model maintains that standard while adding smart improvements. The Unbeatable Grip: The defining feature of this case is the Gripzilla technology. The grippiness is simply outstanding and does not wear off over time. Unlike sleek cases that require you to clench your phone just to keep it from slipping, the texture of this case gives you secure control with minimal effort. Perfect for the On-the-Go User: For those of us who spend a lot of time walking, commuting on buses, trains, or subways, or just juggling multiple items, this is the essential, go-to case. The confident, secure hold prevents drops in busy, unpredictable environments. MagSafe Performance: Other attractive cases often compromise MagSafe charging stability, but the Gripzilla's magnetic strength is excellent, locking securely onto my chargers and accessories every time. Rugged Protection: The "Rugged + Tough" description is accurate. The case looks similar to the older version but features noticeable upgrades to the corners, providing heavy-duty, drop-tested protection right where the phone needs it most. Clean Design: It avoids the common problem of looking nice initially but then getting easily smudged or greasy. The "Black Tie Affair" finish looks great and stays clean despite constant handling. If you prioritize confident handling, superior drop protection, and dependable magnetic charging for your iPhone 17 Pro Max, the Smartish Gripzilla is the single best investment you can make. It lives up to its name and is truly built for heavy, daily use.

This manufacturer offers two different cases with the poppy field-illustrated back. I selected the sturdier version because the slimmer, less sturdy option received some negative reviews for being flimsy. This one has a very secure feeling in my hand with its rougher outside texture. The protruding corner bumpers provide an additional level of protection. The complaint that the phone’s newly-added outside camera button seems vulnerable, because the case is cut out there, hasn’t been a problem for me, but I try to be mindful when picking up my phone to get a secure grip. It wasn’t difficult to add a screen protector and individual camera lens protectors to the camera. I added the screen protector before putting the case onto the phone and the camera lens protectors afterwards. One improvement that I would recommend to the manufacturer would be to make the front border color available in several more colors than just black, specifically blue, green, red, and gold. The camera has a very masculine look from the front, and that doesn’t really go with the floral back. The flower back is not likely to be used by men; other color options would give the case more feminine appeal. I would expect the case to last for the life of the phone which should be about three years. In that sense, it is a very good value for the money. As far as cleaning is concerned, if the case were to get dirty, I would wipe it with a slightly damp paper towel.

When I was shopping for a new iPhone case I wanted specific features and this case provides what I was looking for. I wanted a case that had a good grip, and had Magsafe features. It has indents where I hold the phone and it is not slippery at all. It snapped onto the back of my iPhone and it fits snuggly and perfect. It's sturdy, not bulky and fits in my side pocket of my pants. It's pretty amazing you have a choice of a pattern on the back. I chose the blue flowers. I love it! All of the holes match perfectly for the speaker, camera, charging port, power and Volume buttons. If I ever get another iPhone that is a different size, I will definitely buy this one over any other product. I initially bought the plain black one, I loved it. My husband also got a new iPhone, so I gave him mine and I bought a second one for me with flowers. I highly recommend this phone case.

This case is lightweight and VERY "gripable." Not at all slippery. Although it's slightly bulkier than the thinnest cases, it doesn't feel think. All the surfaces, edges, corners, front and back... have a nice, secure textured feel. All four corners are extra padded, and the edges are slightly raised on the screen side and around the camera slot, so neither the screen nor the lenses scrapes surfaces when the phone is laying flat. All the button controls on the case work flawlessly and easily; it's easy to feel which button is being pressed. And the speaker and USB-C ports are well recessed for protection. The magnetic charging system works perfectly; the case does not interfere with or diminish the charging function at all. If this case has a drawback, it's just that it's very "plain." There are alternative styles available, but the flashy designs are not for me. I'd prefer just to have a selection of "plain" colors to help my phone stand out when collected with others. Unfortunately, of course, the colored case completely hides the iPhone's own color and style, but that's a low priority compared to protection.

I had a Gripzilla on my iPhone 14 Pro for a couple years and loved it. Of all the many cases I've had over the years Smartish makes the best in my opinion. Extremely tough and totally grippy. I've had multiple incidents of quickly pulling my phone from my pocket where the finger grooves saved me from dropping it while any other case would have slipped out of my hand. The finger grooves on the Gripzilla are the best part of the case, which brings me to the worst part of the 17 Pro case. There are no finger grooves on the right side over the camera control button. Technically the area is recessed so it's sort of a grip area, but unlike the left side where three fingers will get a solid purchase, the other side does not provide this. I feel like Smartish could have added a smalish finger groove below the camera control button to provide the full namesake, but as it is it probably should be called the Halfzilla or Gripside or something. I can't knock it for this since it's still grippy as hell and very protective. My beef is more with the camera button which requires cases to be much less protective on that side and for that matter five freaking buttons to accidentally activate when picking up the phone.
