FAQ

What's the difference between MagSafe and MAGMAX™ technology?

It's simple. MagSafe is Apple's standard, no matter what iPhone 17 accessories you’re using when it launches. MAGMAX™ is the Rokform upgrade. While MagSafe is good, our MAGMAX™ tech uses enhanced rare earth magnet arrangements to provide a ridiculously powerful grip that’s 3-4x stronger. So, what is MAGMAX™? It's meant to give you a strong hold that you can bank on, whether you're on a bumpy road or a rocky trail.

Can I use wireless charging with all these cases?

For most quality iPhone 17 cases, the answer is yes, but it's not always that simple. Bulky cases like the OtterBox Defender can sometimes interfere with the connection. With Rokform cases, the powerful center magnet that works with our mounts is easily removable to ensure a perfect connection on any wireless charger. Knowing how wireless charging works is one thing; knowing how your case is designed to work with it is another.

How do I know if an accessory will work with my iPhone 17 Pro Max?

When you're shopping for iPhone 17 pro max accessories , the golden rule is to always check the manufacturer's product page once the phone's final dimensions are released. Reputable brands will clearly state compatibility. But with our Rokform ecosystem, you can rest easy knowing that we’ll have a full lineup of compatible iPhone 17 cases and accessories engineered to fit perfectly on day one.

Are expensive accessories worth the investment for protection?

A thousand-dollar phone deserves more than a five-dollar case. Let’s face it - things like cheap silicone phone cases really don’t give you much of anything in the way of real protection. However, when you're looking at premium iPhone 17 cases, a military-grade option is a smart investment. It’s engineered with better materials and tested to survive brutal conditions, which could save you from a very expensive repair bill.

What should I prioritize when choosing iPhone 17 Pro Max accessories?

When choosing iPhone 17 Pro Max accessories, prioritize protection first. Always. Your phone is useless if it's shattered. Then look for gear that fits your lifestyle. Just like we knew a thing or two about the top iPhone 16 accessories out there back when it dropped, we’re here to help you know what to look out for when choosing your gear!
