Specifically, it captures its bright translucent tones and provides the iPhone with a retro look whilst also protecting it without disrupting the [MagSafe](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/iphone-17-cases) features. It comes in three tones including the iconic Bondi Blue, Ruby, and Graphite. The cases turn the smartphone into a classic computer. The case has a multiple-part design that starts with a clear upper shell made from polycarbonate and then held in place with a white polycarbonate lower bumper to contrast. To hold it all together is a soft TPU structure at the interior.
