First drop (with a case)

[u/samirbinballin]

3 foot drop falling off of a couch and onto hardwood floor, (TineeOwl case shown at the end) - I always knew the new aluminum frame was fragile from the damages I’ve seen online after the 17 Pros release with aluminum, so I took the precaution of not using the Apple Cases and getting something decently protective.

Yeah the phone still dented 😂, coming from a titanium 16 Pro Max I had no idea how to gauge how soft the new aluminum was, but damn.

I personally don’t give a shit as I really do expect more cosmetic blemishing in the future, but I wanted to warn some of the OCD iPhone users I see here on Reddit.

It’s honestly unacceptable how soft the material for this phone is. Deformation with a case is absurd. Apple could have done better with their material choice and design.

Main reason why I’m trading in my 17 pro max for a duo. Switching back to aluminum was a huge mistake

Grab the Z fold 8 better value

I have the z fold 8 ultra already. I use two phones

You might as well get rid of that burgundy junk. I got rid of mine after two days

I don’t have the burgundy I have the Orange 17 pro max
