Apple’s iPhone 17 just hit the shelves, and there’s something beautifully ironic about protecting a cutting-edge device with imagery from worlds where technology has either failed spectacularly or become humanity’s greatest threat.
These 11 cases embrace that contradiction fully. You’re wrapping Apple’s most advanced mobile tech in the aesthetic of Night City’s surveillance dystopia or Hell’s literal apocalypse. Gaming has always thrived on these contradictions—and today, your phone case can become the perfect expression of loving worlds you’d never actually want to live in.
The iPhone 17 deserves protection that acknowledges the beautiful darkness of our favorite digital worlds.
Apple Doubles Down on Gaming Innovation
Every gamer—console, PC, or mobile—knows that split-second feeling when a familiar environment loads up on screen and your hands automatically know what to do next. The iPhone 17, fresh from its recent unveiling, promises to make teleportation into digital worlds smoother and more seamless than ever.

11 iPhone 17 Cases to Honor Your Universe
Night City - Cyberpunk 2077
SAIDO, MYST
SAIDO channels Night City’s raw, tech-forward energy through its crystal-clear build and bold Mag-Charge ring. Available in clear, black, blue, and purple, it reads like street-level gear fresh from a Ripperdoc clinic. Enhanced corner bumpers and chunky side buttons feel like functional mods, while lanyard loops make it ready for any run through Watson.
MYST elevates the same attitude with a semi-clear, soft-iridescent finish in Holo or Lumen, catching light the way Night City’s skyline never sleeps.
Super Earth - Helldivers
AEGIS
AEGIS looks like it was engineered in orbit—a protective shell that feels purpose-built for combat drops. The minimalist leatherette paneling is interrupted by a bold central “badge” and angular frame detailing that looks like mission markings on a dropship hull. We liken it to a “military-spec” presence without feeling overdesigned. An integrated full-length grip-stand is flush when stowed, then clicks open with mechanical precision.
INSPECT AEGIS
New Eridu - Zenless Zone Zero
SPECTRA
Like a street poster that’s been peeled and repasted a dozen times, SPECTRA is layered with glitchy graphics that hides an embedded Mag-Charge ring. It’s offered in gray-tinted and blackout variants, both with bright corner accents that pop like warning lights. The case feels fast, layered, and chaotic, just like a Hollow raid.
INSPECT SPECTRA
Limgrave - Elden Ring
VIGOR
VIGOR is solid and grounded, wrapped in a classic shell with aluminum camera bezels and a muted military palette. Its colorways—Charcoal, Forest, Stone, and Fog—feel like they’ve been weathered by countless journeys through the Lands Between. A matching Mag-Charge ring completes the look, turning your phone into an artifact worthy of a Tarnished’s satchel.
INSPECT VIGOR
The Complex - GTFO
VEKTOR
Sharp red accents cut through the darkness like security lasers in a lockdown corridor. The metallic speckle reflects light in unpredictable ways, making VEKTOR a one-of-one prototype. Reinforced bumpers and matching aluminum side buttons complete the industrial look, like something assembled under harsh fluorescent lights deep underground.
INSPECT VEKTOR
Post-Apocalyptic Colorado - Wasteland 3
SONIX
Layered type and geometric shapes give SONIX the look of a field-issued directive, the kind you’d see stapled to a post in Colorado’s frozen ruins. The translucent case comes in Clear or Stone, making it feel like salvaged signage turned into protection. This is a case that feels defiant by design.
INSPECT SONIX
Hell on Earth - Doom Eternal
MAGMA, HELIO
Both MAGMA and HELIO read like relics dragged out of hell’s core—one molten, one gleaming. MAGMA’s semi-clear housing is laced with a metallic sheen that glows when light catches, giving it the look of cooled lava still radiating heat.
HELIO pairs a similar vibe with a built-in grip-stand that snaps open with one precise motion. Both have Mag-Charge rings framed like seals. Together, they turn your device into a monument to carnage, built to outlast even the next invasion.
2070s Dystopia - Call of Duty: Black Ops III
HAXA, PHANTOM
HAXA’s clear and black options are anchored by a gray or orange “center plate”, a design that feels like a power core sitting in the middle of your device. The surface is smooth and rigid, framed by precision-cut edges that make it look engineered for the 2070s battlefield.
PHANTOM amplifies the effect with rugged leatherette panels in blaze orange and jet black tones, giving the case a heavier, tactical feel. Both are Mag-Charge compatible, locking your phone into a loadout that looks ready for deployment.
