Otherwise great case but…

I think this is a great feeling case. I usually love my peak design cases. But what bothers me is the little lift where the volume buttons are. It’s not flushed against the phone and I can see a peak of the orange iPhone metal

Great case with one big design flaw
on September 25, 2025
Posted by: CaptBrash
I have been a peak design everyday case user for years and always loved their quality and design. With that said this GNAR case unfortunately misses the mark because of only one fatal flaw, and that is the front of the case provides NO screen protection if laid flat down. Seriously all it needs is a small raised lip on the front to protect the screen and this would be an amazing case. I love the everyday case but went with GNAR because it’s the only one that offers Ibis color that matches the new cosmic orange iPhone. Other than the front the case is great but that one flaw is probably a deal breaker.

everything is great , nice detail
The only bad thing and the worst was the edge designed too thin that doesn't consider allow using screen protector and it is a very important.
it makes use can not flip over put the phone on the table or ground

A great step forward, not quite perfect

Just received for my phone and I’m overall very pleased. I read reviews for the previous Gnar case and this new one seems to address major concerns from that previous version. The good: it looks great with the new orange, the buttons feel like solid extensions of the ones on the phone, the slider for camera zoom works, and the protector for the charge port was a pleasant surprise. The not so good: you don’t get a loop like the every day case, it’s just a bit heavier, and the magnet does not seem as good at keeping things vertical including my PD wallet or on PD chargers in the car. I realize that a locking charger would fix this, but it seems shortsighted that my previous everyday case worked just fine with my PD chargers, and this one seems floppy on the same charger. Overall, this is the best iPhone case I’ve ever owned. It is also from Peak Design, who I’ve come to expect the absolute best friend in owning their gear.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Screen/camera lips could be taller

Didn’t think I’d give a less than 5 star review for a PD product but here we are. Everything about this case is great aside from the screen and camera lip heights.
1.2mm is SUPER shallow. Using Spigen Screen and Lens protectors of nearly equal thickness there is virtually no ledge to protect the lenses or screen.
The GNAR is supposed to be the more protective case in the PD mobile lineup, so in my opinion it should be a little more protective in these areas.
Other than that, so far so good! Clarino on the back has a great feel.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Elegantly Rugged, Small Design Flaw
on September 23, 2025

The case itself is well made. It feels elegantly rugged, very durable. My main gripe is that the hole in the case for the charging port is so unbelievably small my NOMAD charging cable doesn’t even fit through there. So I end up having to switch to another case at this point to charge while I sleep. Fairly irritating that I can’t just keep this case on in every occasion.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Must Have Case

Picked up this GNAR Case for my new iPhone 17 Pro and I am not at all disappointed. It’s a great looking case and feels great in my hand. I have been using Peak Design cases for years and this case tops them all. The MagSafe magnets are super strong too. Really happy with this case that I bought two different colors.
I would recommend this to a friend!
