If you have been suspicious of all the leaks, renders, and reports talking about the iPhone 17 Pro’s redesign, now’s the time to believe them. Dbrand just gave a nod to the previous sightings. The famous case maker from the UK has unveiled a rugged Tank Case built around the new camera bar design on the iPhone 17 Pro.
The tank case shows a raised platform at the top, where all of its cameras are placed in a triangular arrangement. As predicted by unofficial renders early on, the iPhone 17 Pro pushes the LED flash, rear mic, and LiDAR to the right side. It isn’t obvious at first glance, but the case hides a horizontal camera bar in the upper section.
If you look at the former renders and dummy leaks, you’ll notice that the lenses have grown in size. Apple may have used a larger 48MP ultrawide sensor on the Pro this time, leading to such a bizarre design choice. Dbrand’s Tank case will pull the attention away from the camera bar with decals and grooving patterns.
The circular disc may be a contact point for a wireless MagSafe charging coil on the Apple's latest iPhone model. We have a “Tank Case” label on the side and an Illuminati logo in the middle. This may be a Limited Edition case.
The official page also gave away its side images. The camera slider returns on the iPhone 17 Pro, and so does the action button with volume keys right beneath it. It’s safe to assume nothing else has changed, except the horizontal camera bar.
It hasn’t been shown on the Tank case, but the phone might actually bring a dual-tone finish. There’s a matte section in the middle, where the Apple logo is positioned. The area around it seems more reflective, probably made of a different material.
The Tank cases are made specifically for the iPhone 17 Pro, Pro Max, and Air. Dbrand’s unveiling of the case all but confirmed the redesigned camera bar. We now wait for Apple to break the news. If the rumors hold, the launch may happen on September 9th. Until then, keep an eye on the news for more developments.
