– Provides a minimalist, non-traditional back accessory that eliminates the iPhone 17 Pro’s camera bump and allows the phone to sit flat, without offering drop protection.
– Claims to keep MagSafe and Qi charging compatibility while installed, but with caveats on full device-function compatibility.
– Not a case; designed as a magnetic back and plans to release a similar ultra-slim option for iPhone Air, with potential duties/taxes for international shipping.
If you’re fed up with the iPhone 17 Pro’s sticking out camera lump but despise bulky cases, a Japanese firm named Mynus might have hit the sweet spot with their latest gadget. It’s the newly released, minimalist Mynus magnetic back for iPhone 17 Pro, which the company claims isn’t a traditional “case”.
Mynus iPhone 17 Pro back features:
What stands out is Mynus’s claim that the iPhone 17 Pro will stay fully MagSafe and Qi charging compatible once the back is attached. Yet the company clearly states this isn’t a standard protective case since it doesn’t provide drop protection and it does not guarantee complete compatibility with every phone function (whatever that means).
Launch plans and shipping notes
The firm is gearing up to roll out the same accessory for the ultrathin iPhone Air by June. While international shipping appears to be available, the Japan-based maker cautions buyers that additional duties and taxes may apply depending on where it’s shipped to.
Overall impression and caution
In sum, this looks like one of the most distinctive iPhone add-ons we’ve seen in a long time because it offers a full design overhaul for one of the planet’s most popular devices. Plus, using the back eliminates the chunky camera bump on the iPhone 17 Pro, and the phone rests flat on a table, which makes the design practical.
Practical considerations
Of course, we don’t know how well the Mynus back performs in real-world scenarios, so treat the advertised features with a pinch of salt.
