Material Specifications

The case features a hard polycarbonate + aluminum alloy hybrid outer shell combined with a shock-absorbing TPU inner liner that flexes to absorb and redistribute drop impact energy away from the iPhone chassis. The kickstand is manufactured from stainless steel for durability. The sliding camera cover is precision-machined from aluminum alloy and rides on a Teflon-lubricated slide rail for smooth, consistent one-finger operation. Back panel thickness with kickstand folded: 4mm. Total weight: approximately 55g.

Troubleshooting

Camera slider stiff on first use? New sliders require 5–10 open/close cycles to reach optimal smooth operation — normal break-in behavior. Kickstand won’t hold angle? The kickstand hinge uses friction resistance — if it folds too easily, contact our support team. Case difficult to seat? Confirm the iPhone is fully inserted at the bottom before pressing the sides.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How many viewing angles does the kickstand support?
A: The stainless steel kickstand hinge is friction-adjustable, supporting a range of angles from approximately 45° to 80° in landscape orientation.

Q: Does the camera cover block all cameras when closed?
A: Yes — when fully closed, the slide cover covers the entire rear camera array including all lenses, LiDAR scanner, and flash.

Q: Can I use the camera while the kickstand is deployed?
A: Yes — the kickstand and camera cover operate independently.

Q: Does this case work with MagSafe?
A: The hybrid metal-PC construction affects MagSafe magnetic alignment. Wired USB-C charging always works perfectly.

Q: Is this case compatible with the Camera Control button?
A: Yes — a dedicated cutout on the right side rail provides full access to the iPhone 17 Pro Max Camera Control button.

Q: How do I clean the camera slide cover?
A: Wipe the slider and slide rail with a dry microfiber cloth. Avoid liquid cleaners near the slide mechanism.

Q: What is your return policy?
A: Easy returns available. Visit our Refund Policy page for full details.

Q: How do I reach support?
A: Contact our team through our Contact page — we respond within one business day.

Q: Is this case waterproof?
A: This is a heavy-duty shockproof case, not a waterproof case. For IP68-rated waterproof protection, browse our waterproof collection at Red Pepper Cases.

Q: Is the case too bulky for normal use?
A: At 4mm back thickness with kickstand folded, the case is moderately sized — significantly thinner than most rugged cases of this protection level.

Q: What colors are available?
A: Choose from available color options shown on the product page above — including black, blue, and more.

Q: Can I use a PopSocket with this case?
A: The kickstand makes a PopSocket redundant for most uses, but adhesive grips will attach to the case back if preferred.

Q: Does the kickstand scratch tabletops?
A: The kickstand foot has a rubberized tip to prevent scratching most desk and table surfaces.

Q: Is the kickstand strong enough to hold the phone on bumpy surfaces?
A: The friction hinge keeps the stand at the set angle on reasonably stable surfaces. Use a mount in high-vibration situations like moving vehicles.
