iPhone 17 Pro: 48MP selfies with a secret screen!
18 Mar
Summary
- New case adds a touchscreen to the iPhone 17 Pro's back.
- Enables 48MP main camera selfies and high-quality video.
- Includes a microSD slot for expanded storage up to 2TB.
The new Dockcase Selfix case introduces a unique feature for the iPhone 17 Pro: a touchscreen integrated into the back of the case. This allows users to take selfies using the phone's high-resolution 48MP main camera, offering superior quality compared to standard front-facing cameras. Users gain access to all rear camera features, including Night Mode and Portrait Mode, for front-facing shots.
Beyond enhanced photography, the Selfix case incorporates a microSD card slot supporting up to 2TB of storage. This provides a convenient alternative to external drives for users needing more space. The case effectively doubles the iPhone's thickness but provides seamless integration with the camera and touchscreen functionality.
While the Selfix case enhances selfie capabilities and storage, it has some drawbacks. It is a bulky accessory and is not compatible with wireless charging. However, it may appeal to content creators seeking professional-grade front-facing video, such as 4K/120fps ProRes. The case is available for iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max models in three colors, with early backer pricing starting at $79.
Dockcase's Kickstarter campaign for the Selfix case has recently launched. Potential buyers should be aware of the typical risks associated with crowdfunding, including potential delays or design changes. The company has a history of releasing functional products, and the review unit operated as advertised.
