Volume Buttons Warp Case?
on January 14, 2026
Posted by: SFlannigan
from Oshawa, ON
I got the kelp one for my orange 17 Pro Max. The lip feels a bit weird with a screen protector but my main issue is that the case doesn't sit uniformly around the frame. Near the volume buttons, no matter how I try to insert my phone, the perimeter of the case sits further from the edge of the phone in this spot.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I’m very happy with this GNAR case. It offers great protection while staying slim and comfortable to hold. The buttons are easy to press, the grip feels secure, and the design looks really nice. You can tell it’s a high quality product. I would definitely recommend it.

Good for an Out Front mount from PD, but...

I've had this case since launch.
The good: the look and feel of the case is great. And using it on the handlebar mount on my bicycle it feels secure and gives me a great vantage point to see all my cycling data
The bad: if you have a screen protector installed, there appears to be no lip left around the screen for protection. Even if a screen protector weren't installed, I worry that a single fall would result in the phone ejecting itself from the case.
Because of these drawbacks, I only really use the case when cycling.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great case but room for improvements

I bought this case about two months ago. I like the case and the integration with the car and bike mounts, but there are two things that I believe could be improved. The length, with the thicker top and bottom, is almost too long to fit in some pockets and also the phone compartment on my motorcycle. And the bumpers around the case do not stand off the screen enough to give the best protection. I have had tech21 cases in the past (but they do not make a mounting system) and they have been superior in both these areas and have provided fantastic protection in all the drops my phones have endured.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Not perfect, but to each their own

I love PD, so when i got a new iPhone 17 pro I knew what case to get. I am not much of a gold/orange person, but the aesthetics of the black gnar case matched my blue phone quite nicely. The case is a little to slick for me. I find myself in situations where i wish it had more bite and didn't slide off of stuff. That being said, it comes in and out of pockets quickly and easily. At first i was not crazy about the added protection at the port. It was annoying to take out and push back in, but after having it for a few months, that has gotten easier and its probably worth it for drops in the water (or toilet in my case)
I would recommend this to a friend!
