Pitaka Pro Guard Case Iphone 17 Pro Max
The Pitaka ProGuard case is part of Pitaka's line of cases aimed at people who want stronger protection without sacrificing style and a slim profile. For the 17 Pro Max model, it offers a reinforced aramid fiber construction, protective bezels, and advanced features like an integrated magnetic ring and PitaTap camera button.
Aramid fiber back panel — typical of Pitaka ProGuard series (combined with TPU/frames for impact resistance)
Arched cushions / reinforced corners — design that helps absorb impact in the event of a drop
MagSafe / magnetic accessory compatible — built-in magnetic ring, no need to remove the case when wirelessly charging or using accessories
Precise fit — cutouts for ports, buttons and camera
Camera / display protection — raised bezels around the camera and display that reduce the risk of contact with flat surfaces
PitaTap / camera control — Pitaka uses technology where the camera control button can be embedded / affected through the materials without an external coating
Military standard (MIL-STD) / drop — ProGuard models are positioned as resistant to drops and shocks — TechRadar describes ProGuard as a “balance between everyday durability and ease of use” for the 17 series
Protective lens support / protectors — camera lenses can be added as per Pitaka’s explicit instructions, but care must be taken for compatibility with the case frame — Pitaka mentions that the closer ProGuard frames can create slight issues with some lenses
Pros

Compatible with MagSafe and magnetic accessories — convenience in everyday use
Control over the camera via integrated PitaTap / button — no need to remove the case for photos
