Here’s a look at three Speck Presidio iPhone cases

The Presidio Perfect Clear Case

Speck has debuted iPhone 17 cases are designed for the entire series. I’ve tested three models of the Presidio series with my iPhone 17 Pro Max, and here’s how I rank them, in descending order:

°  Presidio Perfect Clear (pictured). This US$49.99 case offers good protection, but allows the beauty of the smartphone to show through thanks to its for crystal-clear design. The case offers with MagSafe compatibility and ClickLock no-slip technology

° Presidio Lux Grip ($49.99). This case features a matte finish, 13-foot drop protection, an inverted no-slip grip, and, again, new ClickLock Interlock no-slip technology to enhance usage of Speck MagSafe accessories.

° Presidio Grip (US$39.99). Available in black or slate grey, this case features 13-foot drop protection thanks to air capsule technology that, according to the folks at Speck, “cushions your device like an airbag and our unique grip for a secure, durable hold.” It’s also MagSafe compatible. 

The latter two cases are fine, but I prefer a case that allows me to see my iPhone in all its glory.
