Arc Pulse Compatible with iPhone 16 Pro Max Phone Case (2024), Minimalist Protective Shock Absorption Aerospace Grade Aluminum Shells + Elastomer Inlays Slide on Fit 6.9 inch Matte Black

I really like it! At first glance, it looks Silver rather than Titan Gray but the color changes from different angles. A very cool accessory, and I can already tell it will be one of my most used "cases" EDIT: after 3 months of constant use, it has many scratches, the color has come off at both top and bottom parts, and I must say it isn't worth the price tag. Whilst it looked great initially, I am disappointed with the quality after constant use

Scratches quite easily, but is the best iPhone case out there hands down. I was worried that the case may slip off the phone, but this does not happen, it’s really precisely engineered to firmly hold onto the phone. In addition to the obvious aesthetics, my phone feels a bit smaller and easy to hold, I think it will also lengthen the lifetime of the battery as the metal back of the phone can act as a heatsink. This is in contrast to rubber cases which insulate the phone, trapping heat and resulting in poorer battery longevity. My only concern along with easy scratching of the surface is that you may struggle to have it fit on wireless chargers, if they are longer than the height of the phone.

My favorite phone case. This case really works. When I got the case, I thought to myself that I must be extra careful to never drop my phone coz it will surely get damaged but I have dropped it way more often than I hoped to and the case has faithfully protected it each time. It’s a really great product

check out pics of the wear and tear , mine is knackered , expect better for this price

Stunning best case I’ve ever used

The quality is no doubt very good. The metal feels solid and well made although I can tell it will scratch easily. It is quite stiff to put on but once on it is very secure and no chance of coming off easily. Of course it does not protect the whole phone but I didn’t mind this. I personally won’t be using it much as would be too afraid to get it scratched and doesn’t fell nice in the hand so went back to my normal case. Definitely over priced and not worth the high price tag.

Had one on my previous iPhone and wouldn’t try any other, if you want to feel your phone and have safety get this

I did not like this. It’s extremely tight go the phone and feels like it could be bending/damaging the phone every time I take it off. It looks pretty, but it’s not practical, the phone back being frosted glass means your phone is still extremely slippy in your hand, meaning lots more drops than would usually happen with a regular case. It would make more sense for there to be metal going down the body of the phone to prevent this. It’s also very overpriced for what it is, although it is very high quality.

Black marks too easy

TL:DR - for the generally careful, mindful user of tech, this may be the minimalist protection you've longed for. If you're not, these aren't the droids you're looking for. Longer: So I've been rocking an 8 Plus for several years, replaced the battery, etc. Finally time for an upgrade to the 16 pro. And over the years I've gotten to know myself. As a phone user, I'm pretty careful. As a past Dir. of Technology, I tend to be gentle on my tech and conscientious about daily care to prolong the lifespan. So putting the requisite screen protector and camera lens protectors on the new phone, I went to a leather case similar to what I've been rocking for about a decade. Hated the bulk. Went to a clear thin case. Hated the bulk. With Applecare+, decided to try this "terminator-style bumper" option. Pros: very minimalist. get to enjoy the titanium of the iPhone. Buttons have nothing between me and the metal. Both the rear and the front screen are protected from tabletops by raised lip. Width in the hand is simply the width of the phone...nothing more. It feels great in the hand - the way God and Tim Cook intended. The fit is VERY snug, and I have no fears of it slipping off. The bumpers provide just enough tactile surface that my fingers feel "something to grab" if that makes sense. Cons: I've not dropped it yet (I seldom do), but I figure I've got Applecare+ if there's a serious mishap. And a screen protector. And camera lens protectors. The bumpers cover the four corners...not the top, bottom, or side edges. I'm skeptical of the protection provided in a major oops. Only time will tell on that. So for me, I wanted a VERY minimalist / bare titanium experience. This option provides it, and it looks nice to boot. We'll see how I feel about it after the first inevitable slip up.

This product targets a very specific niche. You need both the purchasing power to justify a $70 case and the willingness to accept limited drop protection — typically because you’re covered by AppleCare and not overly concerned about worst-case damage. From an engineering standpoint, it’s a very compelling piece. The CNC machining is precise, with excellent tolerances, resulting in a clean, refined finish. If you appreciate manufacturing quality, it’s genuinely impressive. The use of grade 5 aluminum is legitimate, although in practice, unless you’re familiar with materials, you won’t necessarily perceive a significant difference. What you will notice, however, is that it closely matches the feel of your phone’s aluminum, which is a nice touch. As expected from the product description, the fit is perfect, and installation is straightforward. Yes, it’s objectively overpriced in a general sense — but within its category, the pricing is fair. You’re paying for machining quality, materials, and a premium aesthetic, and those elements are delivered properly. Personally, I like bumper-style cases, and since I have AppleCare, I’m not concerned about potential damage. That puts me squarely in the target audience.

I am a long-time fan of the "caseless" feel, and this new Arc Pulse design for the iPhone 17 Pro series is a massive improvement over previous models. I actually ended up returning the version I bought for my iPhone 15 Pro Max because the camera protection was unbalanced, which made the phone wobble annoyingly whenever I placed it on a flat surface. This new design finally solves that; it is perfectly symmetrical, which is a huge relief for my OCD and allows the phone to lay flat without any rocking. The aerospace-grade aluminum feels incredibly premium and smooth, providing about 80% of that "naked" hand feel. While you do feel the raised bumps on the corners, they aren't uncomfortable—it just requires a small learning curve to get used to the new grip points. Installation is surprisingly easy and straightforward, as the two pieces stay in place securely on their own using self-provided pressure. You do have to be mindful that because this design only protects the essential areas—the corners, screen edges, and camera plateau—the rest of the phone's body is exposed. Since the iPhone 17 Pro series has moved from titanium to aluminum, the material is a bit softer. You have to be careful not to toss it in a pocket or bag with keys or other sharp objects. There is no denying that the price is a bit premium, but this is a very high-quality niche product for a specific type of user. While the materials feel exceptionally durable and built to last, I’ll need a long-term usage test to see how the finish holds up over time. Overall, it’s the perfect balance of aesthetics and minimal protection for those who want to showcase their phone's natural design.

Bellísimo, elegante, ligero y justo. El agarre es exacto, se siente de excelente calidad y te permite sentir tu teléfono como si no tuviera nada encima. No se me ha caído por lo que no puedo decir si realmente protege bien, pero se siente muy premium y seguro.
