The Grip is a handcrafted leather case for iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 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 in hand-selected, full-grain Patagonia leather — a soft, unmistakable feel, a confident hold, and natural character that deepens beautifully over time.
Available in two versions — one precision-fitted for iPhone 18 Pro and one for iPhone 18 Pro Max — the Grip blends classic Vaja design with everyday practicality. Select your iPhone model, choose your leather, and your case is crafted to the exact dimensions of your phone.
Underneath the leather, the Tri-Layer shock-absorbing 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 case, add a Mini Wallet or Fold Stand when your day calls for it, and remove them when it doesn't. From slim protection to modular function, the Grip adapts to your lifestyle.
Find your Grip. Real leather that protects, feels secure, and gets better with every use.
Yes. The Grip comes in two versions: one crafted for iPhone 18 Pro and one for iPhone 18 Pro Max. Each case is made to the exact dimensions of the model you select on this page — the two versions are not interchangeable, so simply choose your iPhone model before adding to cart.
Yes. Built-in N52 rare-earth magnets provide reliable alignment and charging with Apple MagSafe chargers on both the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max versions, while keeping the case slim.
Protection comes in three layers. The Tri-Layer core combines a 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. The same construction protects both the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max versions.
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.
Just 56 grams (1.98 oz) — one of the lightest ways to put real leather and Tri-Layer protection on an iPhone 18 Pro or iPhone 18 Pro Max.
Yes. Attach the V-Mag Wallet Wrap for a full leather wallet case, or use a Mini Wallet or Card Wallet for a lighter setup — then detach them to return to the slim Grip. V-Mag add-ons attach to the case, not to a bare iPhone, and work with both the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max versions.
Yes. Every Grip is made by hand, one case at a time. Natural variations in the leather make each piece subtly unique, and the leather develops more character with use.
