Today we’re taking a look at the SUPCase UB Pro case for the iPhone 17 Pro Max, courtesy of SUPCASE! I’ve been a long time fan of the Unicorn Beetle Pro cases because they are a really good value. These cases feature a high level of overall protection for smartphones. The UB Pro case is a dual layer interlocking case design and we are getting an included belt clip. The front frame includes a built-in screen protector for added convenience and protection. It’s a decent thickness, and should stand up well to normal objects that will come into contact with or scratch your screen. The front frame interlocks with the main case body relatively tightly which is good for overall protection since the iPhone is basically enclosed. The front frame is decently rigid which complements the main case body well for a strong pairing. The TPU material on the sides, top, and bottom of the main case body have that softer rubber-like plastic feeling but they’re still quite strong. This combination of the rigid frame and a molded TPU material makes for some great protection when your phone goes tumbling away, especially since there’s a little extra material on the corners. When looking at the front side of the phone installed in the case, you can see that the perimeter of the front side of the case forms this bezel that extends up past the screen surface by about 2 millimeters. This is a super important screen protection feature to look for in cases. When you drop your phone in a hard flat surface like a tile floor, concrete sidewalk, or asphalt parking lot, this feature lifts the phone up off of that flat surface by about 2 millimeters which means the screen won’t impact the ground at any angle since the case will make that initial contact. You want the case to take the brunt of those impact forces absorbing and redistributing that across the case to reduce the chances of damaging your iphone. I’ve had the UB Pro cases on quite a few phones over the years and they have survived some gnarly drops and heart breaking tumbles so I quite like this design and it’s definitely battle tested. Looking at the sides of the phone, there’s a grip pattern which is really nice not only as a quality of life feature but the better grip you have, the less likely you are to drop your phone in the first place. As for the back side of the case, we have a nice and clean surface with a built-in kickstand. I like those kickstands, I stream video pretty much every day in the office, the kitchen, and just around the house. In terms of the camera protection, we have individual cutouts for each camera and flash light which is awesome to see. The larger cutout designs work but this is really preferably to keep the open area minimized for protection and to keep the area around the lenses clean. We do still have a bezel that creates a space between the camera lenses and a flat surface by about 1-2 millimeters here which is a really nice way to layer on protection. The case even has a nice carbon fibery feel here which is cool. The cameras are a huge part of buying a new smartphone so the attention to detail is welcomed. All of the cutouts seem designed well and the USB-C port is protected by a flap cover that’s built into the case. This will help the port stay clean and free of dust and debris over time, we have all had a charge port fail on us, this is a good feature. This is a thicker case but it should work with most wireless chargers, just make sure it connects to the charger when you set the phone down. The action button uses a pin button style button in order to allow for functionality but to keep that bit of the phone protected still. Overall, I would say if you have an iPhone 17 Pro Max and you need a solid case with some nice features, the SupCase UB Pro case is definitely one of the top contenders. It’s priced really well in my opinion given the level of protection and features we are getting. I would definitely recommend this case, I’ll have an affiliate link below if you want to check it out.
