Apple’s September 9 launch of the iPhone 17 Air has redefined what it means to be slim, sleek, and smart. At just 5.5mm thick, it’s the thinnest iPhone ever made, crafted for minimalists, travelers, and anyone who values portability. But with a thinner frame comes a new challenge: how do you protect something so light without adding bulk?

That’s where SUPCASE comes in. Our engineers have designed a case lineup that complements the iPhone 17 Air’s ultra-thin profile while delivering the rugged durability SUPCASE is known for. Let’s dive into how we’ve balanced lightweight design with heavy-duty protection, including the UB Pro and the all-new UB Grip.

Meet the SUPCASE UB Pro for iPhone 17 Air

Built for Impact, Styled for Air

The Unicorn Beetle Pro (UB Pro) for iPhone 17 Air is our flagship rugged case, now reimagined for Apple’s thinnest phone. It features:

• Multi-layer construction: TPU bumper + polycarbonate shell
• Built-in screen protector
• Raised bezels for camera and screen protection
• Textured grip and kickstand
• Drop-tested up to 20 feet

Despite its rugged build, the UB Pro is engineered to stay slim, preserving the Air’s minimalist aesthetic.

Introducing the UB Grip for iPhone 17 Air

Slim Profile, Maximum Hold

The UB Grip is designed for users who want everyday protection with a sleek, ergonomic feel. It’s perfect for those who love the Air’s ultra-thin design but want a case that enhances grip and comfort without bulk.

Key Features:

• Slim, form-fitting design that hugs the Air’s contours
• Textured sides for enhanced grip and reduced drop risk
