The Grip is a handcrafted leather case for iPhone 17 Pro Max, wrapped in hand-selected, full-grain Patagonia leather over a Tri-Layer shock-absorbing core, with Apple MagSafe charging and modular V-Mag add-on compatibility — all in a slim, 56-gram profile.
Leather just feels better. The Grip wraps your iPhone 17 Pro Max in hand-selected, full-grain Patagonia leather — a soft, unmistakable feel, a confident hold, and natural character that deepens beautifully over time.
Underneath the leather, the Tri-Layer Core takes care of everyday impact: a rigid Tritan Copolyester shell disperses the hit while a soft leather lining guards against micro-scratches, and a high-defense anodized aluminum ring adds drop protection around the camera. Built-in N52 rare-earth magnets keep it ready for Apple MagSafe chargers.
The Grip is also your entry into V-Mag, Vaja’s magnetic attachment system. Snap on the Wallet Wrap to turn it into a full leather wallet — five cards, cash and a cover over the screen — or add a Mini Wallet, Card Wallet or Fold Stand when your day calls for it, and remove them when it doesn’t. Browse the V-Mag add-ons made for iPhone 17.
If you would rather never take the wallet off at all, our Wallet Leather Case builds it into the case and charges on MagSafe with the cards inside. The Grip is the other half of that choice: slim by default, a wallet when you want one.
And if what you want is maximum protection rather than minimum weight, the Buckler Grip is this same case with stainless steel shields on all four corners — 63 grams instead of 56. The Buckler Wallet combines that construction with a built-in wallet, and the Folio adds a leather cover over the screen without the cards.
Find your Grip. Real leather that protects, feels secure, and gets better with every use.
Yes. This page is the iPhone 17 Pro Max version, crafted to the exact dimensions of that model. Each iPhone 17 model has its own version and they are not interchangeable, so make sure you are on the page for your phone.

Yes. Built-in N52 rare-earth magnets provide reliable alignment and charging with Apple MagSafe chargers, while keeping the case slim.
Protection comes in three layers. The Tri-Layer Core combines a full-grain Patagonia leather exterior, a rigid Tritan Copolyester shell that disperses impact, and a soft leather lining that guards against micro-scratches. A high-defense anodized aluminum camera ring adds drop protection around the rear lenses.
Same leather, same Tri-Layer Core, same MagSafe charging, same V-Mag add-ons. The Buckler Grip adds stainless steel shields on all four corners, where a dropped phone lands first, and weighs 63 grams against the Grip’s 56. Choose the Grip for the lightest possible profile; choose the Buckler Grip if you drop your phone and want the most protective leather case we make.
The Grip if you want a slim case most days and a wallet only some days: it is 56 grams on its own, and the detachable Wallet Wrap adds five cards, cash and a screen cover when you need them, then comes off. Our Wallet Leather Case if you always carry cards: the wallet is sewn into the case, so it never has to come off and it charges on Apple MagSafe with your cards inside.
Yes. Attach the V-Mag Wallet Wrap for a full leather wallet with five RFID-protected card slots, a bill pocket and a cover over the screen, or use a Mini Wallet or Card Wallet for a lighter setup. One thing worth knowing: the Wallet Wrap covers the magnetic area, so it has to come off to charge on MagSafe. If you would rather charge with the cards in place, the Wallet Leather Case is the one built for that. V-Mag add-ons attach to the case, not to a bare iPhone.
Just 56 grams (1.98 oz). For comparison across the range: the Buckler Grip is 63 grams, the detachable Wallet Wrap adds 86, the Folio is 90, the Wallet Leather Case is 97 and the Buckler Wallet is 107.
The Grip is handcrafted from real, full-grain leather sourced from Patagonia, Argentina, over a Tritan Copolyester structural core, with a soft Vaja leather lining, N52 rare-earth magnets, and a hard-anodized aluminum camera ring.
