Covering the phone and all you are doing is saving it in perfect condition for the next person to enjoy.
I mean, isn't that the best way to get top resale value when you sell it to the next person?

It's so difficult to find a case that decently matches the Cosmic Orange color.

They're okay. I don't care for black cases and they are pretty pricy, so I usually pass on them.

I did like their green case on my Alpine 13 pro.
I've been using them since iPhone 12 I think, I just love how thin they are I don't want my phone to get too bulky, and they seem to handle drops really well for the case.

For those that want as close to a naked device feel as possible, or for those that don't like case bulk, I can't recommend Totallee ('https://www.totalleecase.com/collections/iphone-17-pro-max-cases') enough. The case is insanely thin. No, it's not going to win a drop contest with an Otter box - that's not who this case is for. But if your a conscientious device owner that only needs the thinnest of barriers between their device and the surface upon which it sits, this case is killer. I discovered them around the X launch (can't recall) and has been the only case I've purchased since. 98% of the time, I do not use a case. When I do, this is the one I always have on standby (say, when going camping or something a bit more rugged.

That said, what I have discovered, and reeeeally like, is a snapback (I think it was called) from Atom Studios. I used these for my 15 and 16 Pros. They were acquired by Matter ('https://matterht.com/products/agave-leather-snap-phone-case-iphone-17-pro-max') and they are my preferred protection option. Just a thin, rigid plank that connects to the back of your device via magSafe. That's it. No side protection, no front lip. Just the back. Snap it on, take it off. Super convenient.
