Material Specifications

The entire case, including the 3D knife structure, is manufactured from a single-piece high-quality flexible TPU (Thermoplastic Polyurethane) molded with precision injection tooling. The 3D elements are sculpted in the TPU itself — not applied as separate stickers or inserts — ensuring durability and resistance to peeling or delamination. Colors and textures are applied via UV-print and in-mold coloring techniques for long-lasting vibrancy. The TPU formulation provides genuine shock absorption at corners and edges. Case weight: approximately 35–45g depending on color variant.

Feature & Benefit Comparison

Installation Guide

1. Inspect the 3D knife case to identify the camera cutout (upper portion) and USB-C opening (lower portion).
2. Hold the case with the 3D design facing outward.
3. Insert the bottom of your iPhone 17 Pro Max into the bottom of the case, aligning the USB-C port with the case opening.
4. Gently flex the TPU sides of the case outward and press the iPhone into the case from bottom to top.
5. Press each corner firmly until the case snaps fully around the iPhone’s perimeter.
6. Verify the camera array aligns correctly with the case cutout and all buttons are accessible.

Troubleshooting

3D elements feel sharp in pocket? The sculpted knife shape may catch slightly on fabric in tight pockets — consider a side pocket or bag carry for comfort. Colors look faded? UV-print colors are applied during manufacturing — fading within the first few months of normal use is not expected. Case difficult to install on first try? Fresh TPU is slightly stiffer before break-in — flex the sides gently and work around the perimeter rather than forcing corners.

Frequently Asked Questions

A: The case fits in standard trouser and jacket pockets. The 3D blade shape may catch slightly on very tight or thin-material pockets.

Q: Is this case genuinely protective despite the novelty design?

A: Yes — a precision cutout on the right side rail provides full Camera Control access.

A: Qi wireless charging works through the TPU case. MagSafe alignment may vary — wired USB-C charging is always reliable through the case’s USB-C cutout.
