The iPhone 17 Pro Max is a large phone, so the case you pick changes how it feels in the hand and in the pocket. Hardiston makes four leather cases for it, and they split into two groups: wallet cases that carry your cards, and slim snap-on cases that keep the phone light.
Short answer: the Magnet Wallet ($89) is the balanced pick, the Double Magnet Wallet ($99) holds the most cards, the Slim Snap-On ($44) is the thinnest and cheapest, and the Grip Strap Case ($49) adds a hand strap for one-handed use.

Magnet Wallet: the balanced everyday case
This is a top-grain cowhide folio with three card slots, a clear window for a photo ID and a full-length cash pocket. The inner snap-on case attaches to the folio with magnets and can be removed, and the folio closes with a magnetic strap. The inner case has a TPE bumper and a built-in magnetic ring, and the folio folds into a horizontal stand. An RFID-blocking layer is included.
Double Magnet Wallet: for heavy card carriers
The Double Magnet Wallet uses a double-fold layout with a snap-button card compartment and an outer magnetic strap. Hardiston lists up to 12 cards including the clear ID window, plus a full-length cash pocket. It has the same detachable magnetic inner case, a built-in kickstand and an RFID-blocking layer. Expect a thicker folio than the Magnet Wallet.
Slim Snap-On: leather with no bulk
The Slim Snap-On has a handcrafted genuine top-grain cowhide back panel on a flexible TPE bumper. It covers the side buttons, has raised bezels for the screen and camera, and a built-in magnetic ring for MagSafe chargers and mounts. It is compatible with standard wireless charging pads.
Grip Strap Case: one-handed carry
The Grip Strap Case combines a top-grain leather back, a TPE frame and a hand strap that also works as a stand. It has one vertical card slot lined with RFID-blocking material, a detachable carabiner hook and a MagSafe magnetic ring. It suits people who mostly use the phone with one hand or like to clip it to a bag.
Wireless charging and MagSafe
All four cases are listed as compatible with standard wireless charging pads, and all four have a magnetic ring for MagSafe chargers and mounts. On the wallet cases the ring is on the detachable inner case, so take the folio off if you want the phone closest to a charger.
Leather care and fit
Leather develops a patina and may change color with use. Clean it with a soft cloth, warm water and mild soap, avoid long exposure to sun, heat and humidity, and keep in mind that conditioners can change the color. Dyed fabrics such as denim can transfer color onto light leather. These cases are designed for the iPhone 17 Pro Max, so check your model before ordering.
