Case too big

First, the good. The case is well made and obviously very protective. The button presses all work as intended. The bad. The case is massive and heavy. So large in fact that for the pro max iPhone it no longer fits in the Tesla qi wireless charger, which is a massive negative when you drive as much as I do.
Bought this after reading mixed reviews, but love it. People who see it also wish they ordered it, since their Apple Cases for the iPhone 17 have failed or came apart. I tell them to get this case because it's sold, and still feels amazing after six months. There were reports that the case was "too small for the iPhone mode" but I didn't experience this, so maybe it was fixed? I love the dust cover for the port as well.
I was a bit skeptical whether it would actually hold onto the motorcycle mounts under moderate speeds and bumpy roads. So far even at 140 km/h directly exposed to the winds it holds on without any signs of getting loose. Design is well thought through and looks very good. Especially the compatibility with other peak design products is great.
Small lip for the screen. Dropped the phone in the case on motorbike going 30 mph, the phone fell out the case after initial impact and got ruined all around. There is no mark on the case as it was hit once on corner that has a lot of rubber. The grip on the phone is very weak.
I really like the case, more so than the everyday case. The one thing that I would like to see changed is to apply some kind of grippy material to the back. Currently is hard plastic and is very slick. It slides off of anything smooth surface that I place it on.
